Following the rumors of iPad 2 delay, some other analysts have started predicting delay in iPhone 5 launch too. FBR Capital Markets analyst Craig Berger has apparently claimed that iPhone 5 will not be launched in WWDC event and Apple may schedule its release for late September.
Berger writes, “For the iPhone 5, we continue to hear that a July launch is unlikely, with various casing suppliers and touch suppliers still ramping up, with some chip vendors not having yet received firm iPhone 5 orders, and with other sockets like the image sensor (most likely going to Omnivision exclusively, but with some potential for Sony to split that socket) still in flux. Given these factors, we think a September launch is more likely, off from Apple’s traditional iPhone launch schedule, but giving the firm more time to enhance its next-generation instant communications on the phone.”
After Steve Jobs’ medical absence leave announcement, analysts and market experts have suddenly started spreading rumors about Apple’s products. These rumors and speculations could directly affect Apple’s shares and some haters would definitely love to see Apple’s poor performance in stock market.
Apple has been launching new iPhone devices each year in WWDC event, and if rumors are true, we might not see the fifth generation iPhone on expected schedule.
