?Report: iPhone 5 to come in August

傳蘋果iPhone5或8月發布

Apple's fifth-generation iPhone, or iPhone 5, will be completed by early or mid August and will go on sale in the last week of August, the tech blog Boy Genius Report said.

Boy Genius said it has independently confirmed that the next-generation iPhone will not merely be an upgraded iPhone 4, as had been previously rumored.

Rumor was rife that Apple would unveil the new iPhone, as well as its iPod 3, in September, but a credible source told the Boy Genius Report that Apple will hold a special conference to launch the long-awaited smart phone in August.

Some Taiwanese suppliers for Apple's iPhone and iPad have cut production of parts for iPhone 4, a move read by industrial analysts as paving the way for the debut of the iPhone 5, according to a report by Taiwanese tech Web site DigitTimes.
