Apple's new iPhone 5 is still on course for a September release after sources close to Apple told 9to5mac that the phone and new antenna is going through final testing at the Cupertino headquarters.
The phone is expected to go into full production in July after Apple decided not to show the phone off at last week's WWDC.
The current thinking is that Apple will release a new handset alongside the new version of it's iOS 5, which is also penciled in for a Autumn release too.
According to the iOS5 SDK, the new phone is looking like it will come in at least 2 different models - codenames N93 and N94.
The US phone carrier Verizon has already confirmed that their version will offer global roaming capability like many of their other handsets.
According to the iOS 5 SDK, the next iPhone will be available in at least two models - codenamed N93 and N94. In the US Verizon has already confirmed twice that their version will offer global roaming capability offered by a range of other Verizon phones.
Other interesting pieces of information found within the developer version of the iOS5 is that the phone will be able to play and record in full 1080p video.
This would suggest that the new iPhone will come with a new camera, which is likely to be a 8-mega pixel snapper.
A simultaneous iPhone 5/iOS 5 release would be a compelling offer for many consumers and it would see Apple being be top dog over the Christmas period once again.
New additions to the iOS include; Notification Center, Newstand, iMessage, Reminder, PC Free and AirPlay mirroring along with updates to Mail, Safari and the camera app.
The word is that Apple wants to attract consumers who are more budget-conscious. Of course that would be a great thing for many people, but would it sacrifice the item's quality in the process?
But also part of their strategy is to keep everyone guessing until they're ready to unveil it to the world. It's all part of Apple's aggressive strategy to keep sales going up.
Apple usually holds an annnual iPod event in September, so we suspcet that the iPhone 5 will officially be unveiled them, and will probably go on sale in September as well.
