With the World Wide Developers 2012 approaching and scheduled to begin on 11th June in San Francisco, speculations on what Apple will reveal this year has been going on for quite a while now. Will Apple reveal its next generation iPhone 5?
Let us look at some of the rumors that have been circulated recently. Apple has been known for launching its latest technologies or developments during WWDC. However, in the previous year, the company launched its iPhone 4S only in October. So there are possibilities of Apple not unveiling its phone this year too.
There have been speculations of iOS 6 getting launched during the conference and if this is to be believed, who knows Apple may surprise its fans by unveiling iPhone 5.
"We have a great WWDC planned this year and can't wait to share the latest news about iOS and OS X Mountain Lion with developers," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "The iOS platform has created an entirely new industry with fantastic opportunities for developers across the country and around the world," Schiller further added.
There have been discussions on the latest iOS with probability of the company launching its next major version of its Mac operating system, Mountain Lion during the WWDC 2012.
"Mountain Lion is one of the highlights of WWDC 2012, and with the new operating system, Apple might announce the redesigned MacBook Pro that sports the MacBook Air-like design (with no optical drive) and will come with a new processor, a new iSight camera and might ship with 4G LTE support," as posted in PopHerald.
With Samsung, the biggest threat to Apple in the smartphone category, already announcing its newest version Samsung Galaxy S3, the company delaying its iPhone 5 might also affect its sales in the market.
According to reports, Samsung has already received 9 million pre-orders for its third-generation smartphone and this definitely comes as a warning to Apple to make sure that they do not lose out on customers.
With rival companies like Samsung doing pretty well in the market, Apple may wait until October for its iPhone 5 launch, or are they ready for June.
