Apple’s Suppliers Preparing For Fall iPhone 5
According to a new DigiTimes report, Apple’s upstream suppliers have been given orders to begin preparation for the production of next iPhone.
The rumored and upcoming device is expected in September/October 2011.
Taiwan-based companies included in the supply chain for iPhone 5 and iPad 3 have begun to prepare materials for the production of the two devices, which are likely to make their debuts in September and to hit the market in October, according to industry sources.
The report further estimates that only one model of iPhone 5 will be released, reaching supply volume of 6-7 million units in the third quarter. We previously posted about a possible September 9th iPhone 5 launch. It appears a Fall launch is very likely at this point, and would coincide perfectly with iOS 5.

From the 7inch iPad with OLED display to the iPad 2 with a retina display and USB port, Ditgitimes has shown in the past many times that they are not credible whatsoever. It’s fine if you want to report about these rumours, but you should warn readers about DigiTimes’s track record on iOS rumours. Just search for DigiTimes on this blog (and iPadinCanada.ca) and go back in time, you’ll see what I mean.

All of that makes absolutely no sense and I’ll have to see it to believe it. I can understand a possible iphone release but and iPad 3??? lol why the heck would apple release another iPad and put the iPad 2’s flame of glory out so quickly? That is absolute nonsense.

If the iPhone is released in september in the US, will it be released in september as well in Canada?
