Rumor: iPhone 5 Being Assembled Right Now

Posted on July 15, 2012 by Dave


A new report has emerged suggesting that the next generation iPhone 5 has gone into production and assembly right now (via Macotakara). The report says that Chinese sources have revealed that the device is now in production and that some cases that have already been leaked are accurate. According to the sources, the new device will also have a partial ‘aluminum surface’ as well as glass covered portions, consistent with some of the rumors we have seen so far.

Should the information prove to be accurate, then rumors of a September or October launch of the device could be accurate.  The report is also suggesting that a small hole between the camera and flash has disappeared on the latest versions that the source has seen.  It’s not clear what this hole was for but may be simply have been a prototype artifact.

    I certainly hope it don’t look like this.  Usually Apple has pretty cool looking designs.  But they are touting this as being a major change from the 4s.  But it looks like only a thinner body, an elongated body, and minor cosmetic changes.  But overall it looks identical to the 4s.  So I truly hope that Apple is going to surprise us with an astounding redesign like they promised.

    Really, it won’t look like this. Everybody knows it is the most ugly design in history. Aplle’ll know what to do with it.

    Furthermore, I hate speculation. We shall see what the next iPhone will be like, once it is shown to the world.
    And, last but not least, you bloggers are the vermin of the Internet. You only write stupid articles. I hope you enjoy yourself with writing crap.
