Just last week we heard that Foxconn was gearing up for production of the iPhone 5 ahead of a likely summer launch. Today, Commercial Times quoted Daiwa Securities analysts in its latest report on the iPhone 5 that claimed the same.
The report expects the iPhone 5 to be announced at Apple’s WWDC held in June (likely June 10 to June 15) of this year. Obviously, last year the iPhone 4S was released in October— a significant change from the previous four generations of iPhone that were released at or around WWDC in June.
For those who bought the iPhone 4 at launch on a two-year contract (guilty), their contract will be up this summer.
