iPhone 5 Release Date Postponed Last Second by Steve Jobs
As far as Smartphone rumors go, the world has really seen very few that can compare with the ferocity or tenacity of those regarding the iPhone 5 from Apple. Speculation and educated guesswork is one thing, but what makes the iPhone 5 rumor-mill so incredibly captivating is the suggestion that the fabled device has in fact existed for quite some time, but for one reason or another has yet to be unleashed upon the world.
Indeed, some have even gone so far as to claim they have spent exclusive time with the prototype of the iPhone 5, who of course have been more than happy to share their experiences with the world.
According to key sources, plans regarding the iPhone 5 were shelved just a few short weeks before it was due to launch, following intervention from Steve Jobs himself. Apparently, Jobs was not happy with the way the new, larger screen somewhat fragmented the iPhone line.
Shame, as the other specs were said to be truly staggering – including a colored aluminum case housing a faster processor, larger storage capacity and an epic 10 megapixel camera.
If the reports are to be believed, the iPhone 4S should never have actually been brought into existence, but was used as a stopgap solution to keep the masses busy until the iPhone 5 was perfected – which of course could take some considerable time.
Needless to say, with talk of a 4 inch screen toting 4G LTE iPhone 5, an iPad Mini and the iPad 3 all arriving in 2012, those with the patience to hold out a little longer look set to be rewarded richly indeed.
