Rumour – iPhone 5 to launch in June

According to a Chinese report picked up by DigiTimes, Apple will reveal the iPhone 5 at its Worldwide Developer’s Conference, which is scheduled for June 10 to 15. The last hardware revision, the iPhone 4S, released in October and sold like cakes made of the surface of the sun, so apply salt liberally.

Thanks, BusinessInsider.

Hmm, DigiTimes have become increasingly unreliable, so I’m not sure. Excited to see what it is, though.

I wonder how many people are in need of constantly having to buy the newest Apple products O_o Feel sorry for em :/

^ bless you for feeling sorry, but we are all perfectly capable of making informed decisions on what hardware we buy. Nothing wrong with preferring one brand over another.

@ Dannybuoy

He’s not referring to the brand but more to the fact that people need to go and buy every new iteration when there are in fact little changes being made. It’s an obsession that’s what it is.

I sigh every time I see someone on a 24 month plan with an iPhone who still feels the need to buy the next iPhone within its launch period in which case they either need to pay the rest of the entire bill or pay 2 bills at once, at least that’s how it is in Australia, European & American phone companies may make it easy to upgrade or offer 12 month plans(we have 12 month plans, just not cheap or common).

“Like cakes made of the surface of the sun” What? I don’t get it.

^ The surface of the sun is hot, therefore the cakes would be hot, ergo “They sold like hot cakes”, which is a euphemism for something being popular and selling quickly.
