Regardless of the components shortage that has been reported, it seems that the next iPhone is still going to launch in September. As we get closer to September and October, rumors, reports and leaks relating to the next iPhone are becoming more frequent. We have seen images and videos of the next iPhone with its body fully assembled showing a smaller dock connector, a larger more elongated screen and a metal back.
The next piece of news that we have received pertains to the next iPhone�s launch window. This news comes courtesy of AppleInsider where they state that they expect Apple to release their next iPhone in September. According to the AppleInsider, Apple�s supply chain is ready for the initial increase in manufacturing, however availability of in-cell touch panels from LG and Sharp may be low due to decreased yield rates. These manufacturers will however be able to supply the touch panels to display manufacturer JDI.
Other components like metal and glass casings for the new design and modem chips are also available in good supply. According to the source the leaked images of the next iPhone are very likely authentic. They have also stated that the new design may come with Gorilla Glass for enhanced heat dissipation and improved wireless reception.
All this information lines up perfectly with the reports we have been reading from multiple sources that are claiming that the next generation iPhone and perhaps the rumoured iPad Mini will be revealed on the 12th of September. Apple is always very quick to launch their products after they announce them so a launch date during September sounds perfectly reasonable.
There will be more information made available over the next couple of weeks in the lead up to the final announcement from Apple and of course we will be covering them here so make sure you stay tuned for our updates.
