UAE carrier Etisalat said 4G iPhone 5 will ship this year, now unsaid (Updated)

It seems I’m as stoked about the next generation iphone as the next guy, but there is, as always, the twinge of fear as we all wait to see if Apple will manage to once again top itself and keep true to its hard-earned reputation as the innovative epicentre of modern society. Yet as Apple gets ready to release 15 million devices through the upcoming season, I can’t help but wonder if the grandiose investment is well calculated. Personal paranoia aside though, I did come across a pretty interest article on a similar topic the other day and think that it’s something you may find pretty interesting as well. Either way, it’s a fun read in case you run out of free fliers during morning coffee: http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=FT3EK9QESE12&preview=article&linkid=c657c984-5253-4674-9cad-7fa62ffb1b05&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d

P.S. If you’re having cappuccino, leave some for me. Half cream, no sugar :P

I'm a huge iPhone and Apple fan, but I have to admit that, with all of the new 4G phones coming to market, if Apple doesn't release a LTE/4G iPhone (no B.S. HSUPA+ 4G), they are going to stand to lose major market-share. I would think this is why they have opted for a August/Sept. refresh.............at least I hope! Worse case, they need to release a LTE upgradable iPhone. I guess time will tell!?!

Ok is this suppose to be legit or just another "red herring" from Apple. Apple could easily be trying to keep this hush because they might be actually releasing a "4G" wireless phone. I am still very disappointed no new iPhone 5 (or 4S, whatever the hell it is) was announced at WWDC. LG, MOTO and Samsung are releasing some awesome phones.

I agree with this article: http://bit.ly/mHLUd2

APPLE PLEASE ANNOUNCE THE IPHONE 5 IN THE FALL! Do not delay, do not hesitate. HTC Inspire is starting to grow on me....

an iphone 5 cant be a 6th generation iphone, otherwise it would be a 6g iphone, the iphone 4g is a 4th generation iphone and a 4gs iphone if one comes out is just an advanced model of the 4th generation iphone. the iphone 3gs isnt a 4th generation iphone its an advanced model of the 3rd generation iphone!!! giving me the sh!ts !!!!

Do these guys even know whta they are talking about when the iPhone gets 4G it will be called iPhone 4G, If the iPhone 5 comes out with no 4G network then it will be called the iPhone 5, it is pretty simple.

Taking into account all the rumors out there I supposes no one can be sure. But we do know that in iOS5 there now mention of the ipod touch. With that said there is a rumor that the new iPhone will be both CDMA and GSM. Makes sense for Apple. One phone low manufacturing costs. You take that with the rumored September release and perhaps it is because they are just going to rename the iPod touch the iPhone wifi version like they have with iPads. This would make everything make sense. There are two iPhones listed in iOS5 one can assume its for the CDMA version and a GSM version. But if they are making a world phone then it can be Wifi and cellular versions instead. Makes sense. As to LTE I don't think so. Apple wouldn't compromise battery life. Plus while everyone agrees that LTE is the future there really aren't any networks yet. THey are just beginning developement, Next year will be a much better time for a 4G iPhone.

OK STOP, JUST STOP- There is no way. No way in hell, that the new iPhone is going to be called the "iPhone 4S" I don't know how this ridiculous logic got into everyone's head, especially now that WWDC has passed. Here is why it will NOT be the iPhone 4S:

1) Originally the "4S" was coined to invoke a smaller update which would hold only marginal hardware updates, similar to the iPhone 3GS. However given that the iPhone is likely going to be released in September (during the iPod Touch release slot) the extra time seems to point to a more "proper" update (at least in the way Apple is going to present it). There is no way that apple could justify breaking its release schedule (without any mention or justification) and holding off/not releasing a ipt5, if it was only just a speed boost/better camera.

2) Why would apple after finally making its way back to position where the device name could match the generation choose to break that? What advantage would it serve? The only reason the iPhone 3G and 3GS had the "3G" in the name was to emphasize the 3G network which was emerging as a new(ish) technology. In this case it is not likely that Apple is going to call the device the 4G, since there is already a phone called the 4, which is often (incorrectly) called the iPhone 4G. Additionally despite this articles claims, there is no evidence (other than hearsay) to support that the new device will have a LTE Chip. Most Carriers are still in the developing stages, and it will take much much longer before "4G" is a widespread technology. Apple will likely defer this until next year (its a waste of a feature if most people cant really use it)

3) The iPhone 4S name would directly contradict iOS5. It seems silly to me to have a your Firmware version be a full number higher than your hardware. There would be no way to fix this in the future without delaying a software update, or releasing two generations during the same firmware. Either of these options seems HIGHLY unlikely at best.

4) Use some common sense, i mean really, Everything points to the device being called iPhone 4G, OR (the much more likely) iPhone 5. "4S" would be confusing to many consumers, and would take away from the impact of the device. Apple does not want the phone to be perceived as a minor update (like the 3GS), ESPECIALLY since they JUST released the White iPhone...

That being said I believe that the iPhone 5 will NOT support LTE. 3G networks, especially on AT&T, are fast enough and often faster than other carriers "4G" networks. But as always we will have to wait to find out. However I am tired of every tech website running any rumor that will pass, and making claims without even the slightest bit of logic- I assure you that Apple does not disclose information without being certain that it will not be leaked in such a careless way. If this information /is/ true, I doubt they'll get away without some form of repercussion.

great news man, i must avail it, Thanks for sharing dude,

He's a liar, it's something with Gulf people to show off that they access to unrevealed stuff and information. So you don't take whatever he said.
