It's been a while since I last updated this blog, but there has been some recent excitement from Apple that I wanted to write about.
Let me start by saying that I still have an iPhone 3GS and my 2 year commitment expired just this past July, which is why I didn't jump on board with the iPhone 4. My plan was to get the new iPhone when it was released in Summer.
Unfortunately, Summer has come and gone and there was no new iPhone to speak of. Plenty of speculation and rumors of course, but no word from Apple at all.
Well, we are now nearing October, and invites have been sent out for a 'Let's Talk iPhone' press event, which will take place on October 4th at Apple's campus. According to sources close to the matter, the new iPhone will be released October 14th.
It is still highly debated if Apple will simply release an iPhone 4S or an iPhone 5, or both. According to parts manufacturers it appears that the release may be just iPhone 4S which will carry a similar look to the iPhone 4, but feature internal enhancements such as faster processor, 8 MP camera, and an overhauled voice command system.
Evidence of an iPhone 5 has only come in the form of case-manufacturers who have been working off of a 'supposed' leaked document which shows a redesigned iPhone that has a tapered appearance, reminiscent of a MacBook Air when closed.
We will not know for sure what Apple has in store until next Tuesday, when new iPhone(s) will be announced, iOS 5 will be released, and possibly an iPod refresh will occur as well. I can't wait... I'll definitely be pre-ordering the second I am able to.
