So I have been keeping a close eye on what most likely will be the biggest iPhone launch in Apple’s history. As for the past blogs I have written we have seen countless findings that the iPhone could launch anywhere between August and October. I am begging Apple to make an announcement because the speculation is bothersome. I recently read an article by Charles Arthur who firmly believes that October doesn’t fit into how Apple operates. In his article he points to major reasons why the Apple iPhone most likely launch in September and not October.
• Apple’s iOS5, which will obviously power the next iPhone version, is rolling towards a September release. Look, there’s even the web beta for iCloud.
• my carrier sources tell me that the boxes in which the new iPhone hardware is encased have been transported to carriers for testing. This is an important step in the release cycle for any phone. As I pointed out the other week, the release of the Windows Phone “Mango” code to developers means that handset makers can start developing their versions, which then means that they can get the phones moving down the process towards release. But WP “Mango” phones aren’t expected until October at the earliest.
This posted in an article by Charles Arthur on his tech blog. He also points to some other products such as the iPod nano launching in September as well.
There is still no firm date on the 5 but I am hoping Apple gives us some light within this month. Officially I am ruling out August and now it is a two dog fight between September and October. May the best month win.
