After months and months of endless speculation, a release date for Apple’s latest iPhone looks to be finally confirmed. Although this rumour is by no means official, a customer sales representative from UK retailer Phones4U revealed that it is expecting a November release. Meanwhile, it has been reported that Apple will not include an RFID near-field communication chip in its fifth-generation iPhone.
RELEASE DATE
According to T3, the Phones4U representative said: “iPhone 5 has been delayed until November following an issue with the handset's software.” The release date would fit in with a rumoured September unveiling of Apple's latest mobile device, breaking its traditional annual summer release schedule.
However, analysts have recently predicted that the next generation handset will be called the iPhone 4S, as upgrades are more software based. While the iPhone 4S is likely to include Apple's dual-core 1GHz A5 processor the iPad, other radical hardware updates are less likely.

Jaguar's C-X75 concept which debuted at last year's Paris motor show is set to enter production. Jaguar, in partnership with Williams F1, plans to build just 250 C-X75 supercars, each with a price tag between £700,000 and £900,000.
Although Jaguar's original concept used jet turbines to produce its power, the road-going version will instead use a highly turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors - one for the front wheels and one for the rear. Even though its electric drive and small petrol engine will produce less than 100g/km of CO2 ,making it the fastest tax-free and London Congestion Charge exempt car, estimated range in electric-only mode is a mere 30 miles.
