Phones4U representative reveals release date but iPhone 5 unlikely to feature near-field communication
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.
