Rumors are racing around the Internet that the iPhone 5
could be in customers’ hands before Apple’s traditional
fall
phone release.
Reports
indicate Apple is slated to hold an event on Sept. 12.
Technology experts are speculating that event will serve
as
the launch for the new iPhone and the iPad Mini.
Some are even speculating that the phone could be in
stores
as soon as 12 days after the event.
Apple has already slotted a release of the next version of
its iOS 6 for the iPad and iPhone in the fall.
The iPhone 4S was released on Oct. 4, 2011 and
disappointed
Apple fans pining for an iPhone 5.
GeekWire
polled its readers the day after its release and
found that only 31 percent said they’d get the iPhone 4S,
but less than half of those people were excited.
Over 23 percent were going to stick with what they have
and maybe waiting for the iPhone 5. Just over 22 percent
said they planned to ditch Apple for Android.
