UAE iPhone Provider Confirms 4G LTE iPhone 5

A telecom company by the name of “etisalat” might be in some trouble with Apple after the Chief Corporate Communication Officer claimed they were in talks to carry Apple’s next iPhone. Gulf News, who first broke the story, says that etisalat has been developing their 4G LTE network over the past year, much like Verizon has in the United States.
“Yes, we are in talks with most smartphone manufacturers including Apple on the rollout of the 4G handset, iPhone 5 later this year,” Ali Al Ahmad, the CCCO of etisalat said. “As the first telecom organisation to roll out the 4G network, LTE, in the Middle East, we have already started talking to them for the handsets and chipsets in them.”
People who commented on Gulf News’ story claim that the etisalat executive has iOS5 and the rumored iPhone 5 confused.
In fact, most of the commenters on the story were confused themselves. One man appears to have the story right.”For everyone’s information, iOS 5 will be available for download only in fall of 2011, around September, not July,” Erman of Dubai says. “The ‘iPhone 5’ or ‘iPhone 4S’ will be released by Apple only after September in a special event, which Apple usually does every year. Worst case scenario, January, like Apple did with the iPad.”

TechCrunch Claims iOS 5 and Cloud Services Will be Released in the Fall →
March 27th, 2011 · 8 notes · #apple #ios #5 #cloud #itunes #mobileme
I don’t think TechCrunch has every been right when they’ve cited one of their “sources”, but it’s not a bad bet. People have been speculating on when Apple would be releasing some kind of cloud services, like cloud iTunes, since the huge data center in North Carolina was bought.
MG Siegler:
Here’s what we’re hearing right now:
- iOS 5 will launch in the fall and will be a major revamp of the OS.
- It could well be previewed at WWDC, it just won’t be released then.
- The iOS 5 launch is also likely to coincide with the release of a new type of iPad, which we previously reported on.
- The new iOS will be heavily built around the cloud, and we could see several new services launch from Apple that take advantage of this.
- Yes, one of those is very likely a “music locker” service. There is also a fall launch aim for this, during Apple’s annual music-themed event.
- But much of the cloud stuff will first be talked about at WWDC, Apple’s developer event which will take place in June.
- One of the new cloud service elements is likely a location service that focuses on finding friends and family members.
- As we said yesterday, OS X Lion is still on pace for a summer release — some of the new cloud components are likely to be baked into it as well.

iPhone 4G(S) →

Chris Foresman:
…we don’t expect to see radical (if any) changes in the fifth-generation iPhone’s exterior… iPhone 4—despite gripes with the antenna design and front and rear glass covers—has generally been a solid and well-received design…
…the iPhone 4’s 3.5” Retina display is still one of the sharpest and highest… on any mobile phone, …iPhone 4’s 5MP backside-illuminated camera is the best on any smartphone… expect these to remain unchanged.
…Apple will focus on internal upgrades for the iPhone 5, like it did with the 3GS. Three key improvements that have been hinted at in the last couple of months include a next-generation mobile processor, a move to dual-mode GSM/CDMA baseband processors from Qualcomm, and the addition of near-field communication hardware.
I think the name “iPhone 4G(S)” will suit the phone, if it does support Verizon’s 4G LTE network. AT&T can work on it.
