Apple All Set to Unveil iPhone 5 on Oct 4
Bangalore: Apple has invited the media to its event on October 4. The invite says "Let's talk iPhone" along with four iOS icons depicting the date, time and location of the venue. It is anticipated from that invite that the company will unveil its iPhone5 in the event. Last week the date of the event was first marked by All Things D's John Packowski, who reported that the new Apple CEO Tim Cook would be hosting the iPhone 5 announcement after he took over the top job following Steve Jobs' resignation in August. In recent months, the new iPhone has been the subordinate of speculations after Apple did not fix to its traditional iPhone launch schedule in the summer. However, there is not much information available on the latest upcoming device besides that it would feature the dual-core processor found on the iPad 2 and a higher resolution camera. Pundits do not seem to agree on whether Apple will launch two iPhone models this autumn. Some anticipate that the new iPhone will be very similar to the iphone 4, but with bumped specs, while others expect a wholly refreshed iPhone with a larger screen and an even thinner profile. Since this summer, Apple's next version of iOS - iOS5, which powers iPhones, iPads and iPod touches, has been in limited beta. The final version of the software should also be launched at the October 4 event.
