Report: iPhone 5 to Ship in September
According to a report from Reuters, Apple is going to be shipping its next-generation iPhone – possibly called the iPhone 5 – this September with production starting at some point in July or August.
The report cites three sources that have “direct knowledge of the company’s supply chain” and also notes that the next iPhone will have a “faster processor.” If rumors prove fruitful, that “faster processor” will be the Apple A5 chip, the same dual-core processor found in the iPad 2.
