Kotaku who have translated a report by a Chinese newspaper say that one of the Foxconn officials has been speaking of Apple�s plans for the new iPhone. Foxconn currently produces Apple�s iOS devices and the company�s head of Human Resources has been telling the Chinese Newspaper that Foxconn has received an order from the Cupertino outfit. He also stated that the release date will be around October.
This has seemingly led Foxconn to begin a massive recruitement drive to ensure that there are enough people to meet Apple�s release schedule. Since Apple launched the iPhone 4S last October this latest rumor does seem to tally with release dates and it does add a little bit more to all the rumors doing the rounds.
Hard facts about a new iPhone release are of course hard to come by but with Foxconn employees more eager to speak up than usual it won�t be a surprise if this information changes over the coming months.
The new iPhone is also subject to rumors of a change in design features which was the case with the iPhone 4S too. Rumors are that the new handset will feature a new sleek body and with the iPhone 4S having the same shell as the iPhone 4 it might just be that the new handset will have a redesigned body. Of course we will have to wait and see on this one too.
Unibody designs are the normal for Android handset makers so we could expect to see the new iPhone sporting a unibody design too. Of course we do have to state that as of now these are all but rumors and until some concrete evidence is provided we need to take every rumor that comes out as just that.
