Apple to announce iPhone 5 next month
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 28 September 2011
Apple has announced details of the launch of the iPhone 5. Well, it’s sent out an invite to an event at 10pm on 4 Oct saying “Let’s talk iPhone”. Which seems like a pretty clear statement that the iPhone 5 will be launched. Well, clear by Apple’s standards anyway.
The announcement is expected to be the first delivered by Tim Cook since he took over from Steve Jobs as the company’s CEO, and rumours about what he’ll be telling the assembled journalists and geeks across the world are, of course, flying fast.
It seems to be generally expected that not one but two new iPhones will be announced, the iPhone 5 supertelephonecomputer and an entry-level phone, possibly called the iPhone 4S. Cook will also almost certainly officially launch Apple’s iCloud software, which, amongst other things, will put all your digital music files up in the cloud (or onto the internet, to give it its more boring but more accurate name) for access anywhere via any net-connected Apple device.
But does anyone really care what Cook will say next month? The rumour mill has already turned its attention to the iPhone 6, which will apparently have a new design that will feature a dentists drill as standard.
