According to available info, the iPhone 5 will be released in September or October 2012. This new info comes to us via Macotakara, a Japanese website, who were apparently tipped off by an “Asian reliable source”.

As you might know, Apple had a tradition of launching a new smartphone every year in June or July, a trend that ended with the arrival of the iPhone 4S in October last year. The new rumor makes sense as the company will most likely won’t think about releasing a new iPhone less than a year after the iPhone 4S came. And also the sales numbers of the 4S suggest that a fall release is not bad at all.

And the iPhone 5 is also expected to feature larger changes to the hardware (what they didn’t do with the 4S), although rumors are also flying around against that idea. But we haven’t got any confirmation about what all changes are coming all thanks to Apple’s notorious secrecy. Rumors point towards a device with a new aluminum back plate, 4+ inch display, a revamped antenna system and a quad-core A6 processor, but at this point, it will probably be the A5X.

But we all know what’s coming first. March 7^th is the day we are waiting for. We will keep you updated on all things Apple. So stay tuned.

When making a list of top products we want to see in 2012, the iPad 3 certainly seems to top that list.

We know of the Apple Education event coming on the 19th.  Well, leave it to someone to speculate that this event will actually be an iPad 3 launch event.  What we do know is that it could potentially show off the new iOS 5.1, which is currently in developer testing. While the source of the rumors, Macotakara, has had a mixed track record in the past, recently many of their rumors have been corroborated by more trust-worthy names like Bloomberg. I do find it a little curious that there would be a one-month gap between introduction and availability, since this is much longer than what we saw with the iPad 2. The iPad 2 was introduced March 2^nd and was available just nine days later. For now, just don’t get your hopes up. Still, a launch of the iPad 3 in the first half of 2012 does make a lot of sense.
