So, it looks like the wait is going to be OVER now for those tech fans who were eagerly waiting for the Apple's new-generation iPhone.
Apple on Tuesday invited members of the media to a September 12 event at 10 a.m Pacific Standard Time at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco for what is expected to be the debut of a iPhone 5. The email invitation shows a big "12," for Sept. 12, casting a shadow in the shape of a "5."
A fall iPhone release has been considered a foregone conclusion by most observers for months. According to Bloomberg, the success of the iPhone has helped Apple become the world’s most valuable company by market value. The company’s shares rose 1.5 percent to $674.97 at the close in New York.
Meanwhile, The Guardian reports that some analysts reckon the next iteration of the iPhone, first launched in 2007, could sell up to 160m worldwide in its first two quarters, based on the amount of investment Apple has put into production lines in the past year.
Among the device's rumored new features are a slightly larger screen, a faster processor, a smaller dock connector and possibly NFC technology that would make it easier for shoppers to make payments through their phones. The iPhone 5 will have a new two-tone unibody design, a smaller dock connector, 4G LTE, and a larger 4-inch display using Sharp's IGZO technology.
Photographs of components reckoned to have come from Apple's many suppliers in China over the past five months point to a device with a larger 4.2 inch screen and thinner body. The famous Chinese singer and actor Jimmy Lin revealed the some photos of pple's new-generation iPhone on his Weibo account.
On the other hand, a hacker group has claimed to have obtained personal data from 12 million Apple iPhone and iPad users by breaching a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) computer, raising concerns about government tracking. Peter Kruse, an e-crime specialist with CSIS Security Group in Denmark, tweeted on Tuesday that the leak "is real" and that he confirmed three of his own devices in the data.
