There is much speculation that Apple is working on a new generation iPhone to take the place of the only recently released iPhone 4. The speculation is that because of the iPhone 4 antenna issue, Apple might push out the iPhone 5 as early as January 2011.
Now we know all iPhone fan love having a new iPhone make its debut, but Apple releasing the iPhone 5 in January does seem somewhat farfetched, although they could release the iPhone 5 packing a new antenna that loses all the hassles associated with the iPhone 4.
Of course then there’s the question that maybe Apple is holding off releasing the white iPhone 4 because they are seeking a solution to the antenna issue, which is also a popular rumour, and if that’s the case then what about all the people using a black iPhone 4? Will they be expected to purchase a white version because it will be working properly?
Again if Apple does present the white iPhone 4 with new antenna attached then the possibility of an iPhone 5 making an appearance in January 2011 is again out of the realms of possibility.
However, with 4G networks popping up, maybe the iPhone 5 will be a 4G enabled iPhone and pushing it out in January 2011 might be a smart move for placing the iPhone 5 on the Verizon network, all speculation of course.
Then there’s the other side that if Apple push out and iPhone 5 to Verizon, won’t that really annoy iPhone owners who have just signed up for a lengthy contract on AT&T to get the iPhone 4.
But the big question remains, would people go out and purchase an iPhone 5 in January after just handing over a large wad of cash for their iPhone 4? So we’re asking our readership if Apple released an iPhone 5 in January 2011 would you buy it?
