Iphone 4 white, the elusive Apple iOS device has finally hit the stores today. But, is this too late? Is it a better and smarter choice to wait for the iPhone 5 which should be available later during the fall?

We have been patient enough to wait for almost a year since the last years WWDC but the release of this iPhone model was delayed several times because of technical issues. This means that this iPhone is same as the original iPhone 4 but with different color. This shouldn’t disappointed anyone as iPhone 4 is still a top performing smartphone, a class of its own.

iPhone 5 will feature 8MP camera

During a recent interview CEO of Sony, Mr. Howard Stringer has revealed an information regarding the upcoming iPhone 5. He said in the interview that the next iPhone model will have an 8 megapixel camera.

According to him the recent earthquake and tsunami tragedy in Japan has slowed down development in this area due to inability of the Sony sensor plant to function in the ravaged conditions.

Some of the most important plants of Sony are located in the coastal areas of Japan which were recently devastated by the earthquake. This could delay or in worst case even prevent Sony from delivering the shipment of the sensors to Apple.

iPhone 5 and iOS 5 rumors

Many hardcore Apple fans have been kind of disappointed when Apple didn’t relieve anything about the upcoming iOS 5 on the recent iPad 2 launching event. It is expected that iOS 5 would be a completely redesigned and re engineered OS with heavy emphasis on cloud services.

The reason is probably that Apple is still far away from finishing it and they will simply need much more time than expected. Reliable sources in Cupertino California based company have revealed that the iOS 5 wouldn’t see the daylight before late fall.
If it really plays out like this, it will mean that Apple is breaking their usual pattern of iOS launching in early spring followed by release of a new iPhone model.

When will Apple release iPhone 5 and iOS 5 ?

Apple’s new version of iOS will probably be not available before the fall. But on the other side this surely wont delay traditional release of new iPhone model every summer. Some analysts even claim that a new iPad would be available next fall.

Until now Apple had usually presented their new iOS during early spring in order to give software developers enough time to work on their apps and prepare them for the iOS launch in summer. So far Apple has not followed this pattern and there are no reliable news about iOS 5 so far.

NFC not available for iPhone 5 ?

Despite some previous rumors it seems that Apple has decided against including the NFC (Near Field Communication) in the upcoming new iPhone model dubbed as iPhone 5.
