The new smartphone is breaking records, and doing twice as well as its predecessor, launched in June 2010. So i-fans will have got over the relative disappointment of the presentation of an improved versionWhen the vast majority were impatiently awaiting the iPhone 5. This impatience has scarcely subsided, and some specialists are not hesitating to get the ball rolling again, by returning to the issue of the launch of the iPhone 5.th of the name, with plenty of revelations and speculation. Visit specialised site CNet relays information from Ashok Kumar, an analyst at Rodman & Renshaw, according to whom Steve Jobs delegated the development of the iPhone 4S to focus on the iPhone 5, managing the project - his last - from start to finish. Ashok Kumar talks of a thinner, lighter form factor, a bigger screen and access to 4G. And what about the timetable? The launch could take place as early as summer 2012: predictions that should be taken with the necessary caution, as the many 'specialists' who were certain that the 5th version would be presented in the autumn of 2011 will have learned the hard way.
