In spite of the fact that the iPhone 5 is stated to be released at the end of the summer, tech analysts and bloggers still cannot accept the logic that a September release for the iPhone 6 and beyond may be “the new normal” for iPhone releases.
Take a landmark mobile device like the iPhone and release it every year at the same time, and very quickly you get millions and millions of “iPhone junkies” who rely on the clockwork iPhone release schedule to keep their tech-filled lives in healthy equilibrium.
But Apple’s decision to delay the usual release of the iPhone 5 — extending it months beyond the usual announcement at the WWDC, has left iPhone users and tech pundits feeling angry, frustrated, and lost. It would seem that an entire generation of iPhone 3Gs users, who purposely skipped over the iPhone 4 in hopes that the iPhone 5 would be a groundbreaking device, have had their patience frayed to the max, with some iPhone users even jumping ship for the iPhone 5′s natural rival, the Samsung Galaxy S II.
The 5 is due out in the next month or so, however, and once the next iPhone is release, the tech community will breathe a collective sigh of relief.
But in spite of the fact that Apple has clearly changed the release paradigm of the iPhone, many users and media types simply do not want to believe that the iPhone 6 will follow suit and be released in the late summer of 2012. And in order to justify their disbelief in Apple’s new release schedule, the iPhone 6 rumor mill has already heated up, with theories and rumors abounding that the September release will not be a groundbreaking iPhone 5, but rather an iPhone 4s, with the next big, bold iiPhone being released — as usual — at WWDC 2012.
Other iPhone 6 rumors are even more audacious, suggesting that the upcoming release of the iPhone will indeed be the 5, but that the iPhone 6 will come even sooner than the WWDC, being released alongside theiPad 3 in the spring of 2012.
