Depending on a report posted today on BGR, Apple's major United States carrier partner AT&T
is getting its team prepared for the release of the upcoming iphone handset, expected sometime in mid-September. The report points out a 'proven source' who claims that AT&T's retail arm has been talking with its legions of staff members, advising them to "finish training in order to have employees available for the influx of foot traffic estimated in September."
Even though this report is simply another rumor, there's little doubt in anyone's mind at this point that September will provide some kind of innovative or refreshed iPhone handset; it's even possible that Apple is going to completely revamp its lineup and launch more than one new iphone. The BGR affirms that Apple Company will most likely declare the next iPhone sometime in late August, and then handset will then go on sale in early September. The website has a considerable reputation in regards to Apple Inc. and iPhone related rumors, and has a good number of contacts deep in the wireless industry.
The BGR report correlates with the launch of further rumors regarding the launch date from MacRumors, which recently stated that Apple has started making contact with a couple of its former retail employees to ascertain if they'll get back to work part-time between mid-August and mid-September. Since this time period also is simply the productive 'back to school' retail extravaganza, it's possible that Apple company just wishes for its stores fully staffed to prevent any kind of sales or service complications. However, it's also possible that this is in preparation for the flood of shoppers supposed with the roll-out of the upcoming iPhone.
Most sources as of yet have placed the highly-desired iPhone 5 launch as occurring sometime this fall, brought in with the launch of iOS 5, the newest version of the OS powering the iPhone and iPad. Apple further suggested at this on their 2nd quarter earnings call last week, with CFO Peter Oppenheimer stating that Apple Company will certainly have a "future product transition" that will "have a material effect on the September quarter".
At this moment, it seems to be all-systems-go for the upcoming iPhone to hit soon. Recent reports have claimed that Apple's supply chain and manufacturing partners have all already been preparing for production of the following iPhone, and while today's report claims a mid-September release window, rumors have speculated that the iPhone 5 could release any time from the end of August through the end of October. Regardless of when it reaches, there's little doubt that the mobile smartphone will be a tremendous smash hit for Apple Inc.
Some reports have described that the next-generation iPhone will be both lighter weight and sport a finer profile as compared to the iphone 4, and perhaps will feature an upgraded rear camera, and possibly a larger display screen. The WSJ states that the iPhone will contain new wireless chipsets built by Qualcomm, which might make a single iPhone 5 handset compatible with GSM and CDMA networks all over the world.
As for Apple Inc., the company didn't comment on the latest report, and has kept mum in regards to the next iPhone handset. Those in Cupertino did claim that the organization plans on producing upwards of 25 million handsets through the end of 2011; to get this many out the door, the handset will need to roll-out within the next couple of weeks. For now, it's merely a game of 'wait and see'.
