The report came from John Paczkowski of All Things D and he stated that according to his sources the next iPhone whether it be the iPhone 4S or the iPhone 5 will launch sometime in October of this year and not September as was previously thought. On the website All Things D you can read all about it and why the date has been changed from September to October.

With so many different reports circulating and rumored dates of September and October it really is getting very hard to predict when Apple will unveil the next generation iPhone and like most people out there I guess we really going to have to wait and that wait could be an additional 30 days if these new reports are to be believed.

We don’t even know for sure about the design of the next model as there are contradicting reports surrounding this too. Some say that the next iPhone will have an iPhone 4 like design whilst others suggest that the next generation iPhone will have a tapered curved design.

Again it is all really just speculation and until Apple decides to put us all out of our misery and unveil the product no one can be certain for sure. So whether it will be a September launch or an October launch no one really can say for sure all we can say is that the next generation iPhone will be launched sometime this year. If there are any further developments on this story we will be sure to let you know.

According to an industry source, supplier have seen disappointing orders from Apple and this has nothing to do with iPhone 4 sales because this iDevice is still a hot seller. Instead it is being reported that Apple is likely preparing the release of a next generation iPhone which is expected to be announced in September. The new model many are claiming will be the iPhone 5 and will probably look similar to the current generation iPhone.

iPad orders are still really great and they are expected to grow 70% next quarter to 8 million units since no new model is in sight at the moment.

Rumors of a future iPhone have been doing the round for months now and this is what happened with previous iPhone releases too. Reports initially pointed to a major upgrade but this seems less likely thanks to model images that have been leaked. It is expected that the new model will have similar features but more RAM and a faster processor are expected as is a larger 8 megapixel camera.

Like all the rumors and reports we really do have to take them all with a pinch of salt because until Apple actually release their next generation iPhone we really won’t know exactly what to expect.
