The trend shows that over millions of iPhone 4S have been solved around the world and if Apple were to announce the iPhone 5 release date then what would the existing iPhone 4S customer feel who waited a long time for the iPhone 5 launch and instead purchased the Apple iPhone 4S?

Well, for Apple it’s business and they will not launch the new iPhone 5 until then make the target amount for the iPhone 4S. This is the same trend happened when the first version of iPhone 3G was launched and it created the biggest buzz in the mobile industry.

iPhone 5 Specifications and Rumours

Looking at the current iPhone 4S with the best Retina display, 16GB to 64GB in-build memory, A5 processor, multi-tasking, iOS v5, sleek design, 8MP camera with HD recording and flash, better connectivity, HSDPA+ capability, 3G/4G connectivity and many more made the handset the most demanding handset for the current year 2012.

The design of the Apple iPhone 4S is very similar to that of the  iPhone 4 and as a result, Apple has to come with a different design pattern/concepts so that it would not upset consumers who are eagerly waiting for the iPhone 5 release date. The iPhone 5 has to atleast match the current iPhone 4S specs and should have advanced features and specifications for the device to be the flagship device for Apple and get crowned as the best smartphone for the year 2012.
