iPhone 5 Prediction

Just getting this out of the way since it’s the thing to do for me this time of year.
4 or 4.1 inch display this year. Thinner, with an in-cell touch panel from LG as opposed to a two-layer touch panel/LCD.
A new dock connector. Say goodbye to tons of old accessories and radio docks unless they thought ahead and provide some sort of converter. This will be this years big drama.
LTE.
No major redesign. Maybe thinner because of the in-cell panel, but this Dieter-Ram mockup that’s been making the rounds for the past year just isn’t happening.
Possibly a power optimized A5X chip from the iPad, but no 802.11ac WiFi, no NFC, and no T-Mobile deal.
I’ll say a release on Sept. 21st, Oct. 5th at the latest.
So there’s my bullshit.
Thanks for playing.
I have to get back to writing… Again.
