iPhone 5 Release Date September 21 Confirmed...or NOT!

Although widely expected, there was no iPhone 5 in 2011 after all, though the company did announce the iPhone 4S.

So we'll surely see a total revision of the iPhone during 2012.

Rumor On iPhone 5 Release Date September 21
While early reports pegged the new iPhone release date for October, landing closely to last year's schedule, it seems we'll be seeing the phone in September this year as Apple looks to take on Samsung's new phone sooner rather than later, with multiple sources claiming the iPhone 5 is supposed to be announced on September 12.

The rumor also says that the pre-order of the iPhone 5 will commence right after the announcement and the release date is supposed 9 days later on September 21.

iPhone 5 Features:

Rumored features of the new iPhone 5 include a larger screen, A6 CPU, iOS 6, small dock connector, 4G LTE and NFC. The overall design would not change dramatically. The backside material is not glass anymore as Apple introduces a unibody design. The rumors also say that the iPhone 5 is very thin.

Foxconn will again be manufacturing the handset. It'll put the Samsung Galaxy S3 "to shame" according to the CEO of Foxconn, Terry Gou - though he didn't say how.
Steve Jobs' iPhone 5 Legacy

Many sites have reported that Steve Jobs was working hard on the iPhone 5 project, which will apparently be a "radical redesign". We shall see... but the fact the iPhone 4S was so similar to the iPhone 4 suggests that he was working on something pretty special before his death.
