  • Apple Won’t Be Launching The iPhone 5 In September Afterall, New Report Suggest October Release

    There has been a lot of contradiction as far as the iPhone 5′s (4S, 4GS or whatever it’s gonna be called) release date is concerned. We’ve narrowed it down to the months of September or October.

    AllThingD quoted a source which knows highly about Apple’s plans.

    “I don’t know why AT&T’s calling for all hands on deck those weeks, but it’s not for an iPhone launch,” a source familiar with Apple’s plans said.

    So when can we expect the company to uncrate the iPhone 5?

    “October,” the source said, while declining to offer a hard-launch date. Other sources said it will be later in the month, rather than earlier.

    The source failed to provide any details about the next iPhone’s design or internals but we’ve come to know from the supply chain that the phone will feature the iPad’s dual core A5 processor, a dual GSM/CDMA baseband radio and a 8MP camera will supposedly 1080p video recording.

  • Apple Proposes Plan for an Even Smaller SIM Card Standard

    Last year, with the advent of the iPad and the iPhone 4, Apple introduced a new SIM-Card standard – the Micro-SIM. Reuters reports that this time around Apple has submitted a new requirement to (European telecoms standards body) ETSI for a smaller SIM form factor, even smaller than the current micro-SIM used in the iPad 1, iPad 2 and iPhone 4.

    “They have done that through the standardization route, through ETSI, with the sponsorship of some major mobile operators, Orange being one of them,” said Anne Bouverot, Orange’s head of mobile services. She further went on to say that the process would take time but the devices supporting this new format could be out as early as next year.
