?Report: iPhone 5 to come in August

傳蘋果iPhone5或8月發布

Apple's fifth-generation iPhone, or iPhone 5, will be completed by early or mid August and will go on sale in the last week of August, the tech blog Boy Genius Report said.

Boy Genius said it has independently confirmed that the next-generation iPhone will not merely be an upgraded iPhone 4, as had been previously rumored.

Rumor was rife that Apple would unveil the new iPhone, as well as its iPod 3, in September, but a credible source told the Boy Genius Report that Apple will hold a special conference to launch the long-awaited smart phone in August.

Some Taiwanese suppliers for Apple's iPhone and iPad have cut production of parts for iPhone 4, a move read by industrial analysts as paving the way for the debut of the iPhone 5, according to a report by Taiwanese tech Web site DigitTimes.

日前，向來消息靈通的科技博客BGR再次發布獨家消息披露，新一代iPhone預計在今年八月中上旬發布發布，在八月份的最后一周開始出貨。

新一代iPhone將不會是目前在各大運營商高管手中測試的那款iPhone4S,，其外形將會有較大的變化。

按照之前普遍的看法，蘋果將在9月召開大會推出新一代iPhone，甚至有可能與新款iPod一起發布。而最新的消息披露，蘋果可能會特別為新一代iPhone舉辦專門的發布活動推出這款備受期待的手機。

值得一提的是，根據臺灣媒體DigiTimes的報導，目前為蘋果iPhone以及iPad提供PCB（印制電路板）的部分臺灣供應商已經減少了該配件的訂單。而在坊間人士看來，供應商此舉是為了減少iPhone4的發貨量，為即將到來的iPhone5做配件上的準備。
