According to Japanese blog Macotakara, the next generation iPhone has
already gone into production in China. Macotakara cites reliable Chinese
sources for the information.
For reference, Macotakara also cited similar sources when they reported that
the iPad 3 first went into production in January 2012. The lead time
between production and launch for the iPad 3 was approximately two months
with an official launch date of March 16th, 2012. That could suggest that
we could see the new iPhone as early as September, though the production
timelines for the iPad and iPhone may differ significantly.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal had previously reported that the iPhone 5
would begin production in June, and all signs have pointed to a September
or October launch for the new iPhone.
Leaked iPhone 5 parts have suggested Apple will be adopting a two-tone
backing with a central metal panel. Macotakara reports that in the
production models the back panel have a naked aluminum surface and a
partially glass covered portion. They also note that a small hole that
was seen between the lens and flash in the prototype parts is now absent. |
