iPhone 5 Release Date Might Not Be This June, But on October

Previous speculation tells us that Apple will preview iOS 6 and it was also believed that during that time they would release the next iPhone called iPhone 5 during the WWDC. However, this is may not be so, as recent events lead speculators to conclude that the release date for the iPhone 5 may not be during this June at the WWDC, but on October.

Qualcomm has stated that it is struggling to keep up with the iPad’s demand in producing the 28-nanometer chips, which leads us to expect that Apple will be unable to have an earlier debut for its latest iPhone 5. If Qualcomm fails to keep up with the demands for iPads now, then it would be disadvantageous to launch the new iPhone so soon.

After Quallcomm CFO William Kietel has clarified that their production goals are pretty high in the December quarter and that the production would be “more meaningful” in September, most people are deducing that the iPhone release date may be on October.

Aside from that, LTE isn’t generally accepted in areas beyond US and Canada, which means the service is unavailable in the UK, except probably for the bigger cities like London and Manchester. In fact, Apple has offered refunds to Australian buyers since the new iPad does not support 4G LTE network in their state, what with the Telstra Corp, Australia’s only 4G operator, using a different 4G frequency. Apple will have to wait to make sure that iPhone 5 can support LTE networks worldwide.

Moreover, the fact that Apple has not announced its iOS 6 yet indicates that it is not ready to launch iPhone 5. Usually it would release OS upgrade during or before launching a new gadget. Now people are wondering if iOS 6 will be having its debut at the WWDC.
