Until the iPhone 5 official release date is actually released, speculators just won’t stop starting new rumors. First, everyone assume that the iPhone 5 would released in June or July, but it seems more and more like a September release date is more realistic. Apple had some minor design flaws with the iPhone 4 that might be giving the electronic manufacturer pause. First, there was the faulty antenna that ended the promising career of a top level Apple executive. Then, the glass case was revealed to be susceptible to cracking.

While Apple had no problem paying for the repairs, it also cost the company a substantial amount of money. In addition, Apple wants to be associated with the most cutting edge devices, which means that major mechanical or structural problems cannot arise with the iPhone 5 after it is debuted. In order to do this, Apple has been spending a lot more time at work on the next generation iPhone. Contrary to prior reports, the September iPhone 5 release date may be nothing more than a rumor.

The companies that supply Apple with the components that they need to make the iPhone have been silently. No one is reporting a surge in orders, and retailers deny getting any inside information from Apple. Whether or not the iPhone 5 is coming in September, there will eventually be a next generation iPhone on the line. Unfortunately, fans may just have to wait a little longer than they first anticipated to get their hands on the device.
