SAN FRANCISCO: Apple Inc distributed
invitations to an event in San Francisco on September 12, setting the
stage for what is widely expected to be the release of the iPhone 5, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
The typically cryptic invitation said
“It’s almost here”, sported a number 12 – corresponding to the date of
the event – and cast a large shadow of the number 5, a clue that the
fifth version of the popular smartphone could be in the pipeline.
Apple’s iPhone launches are among the
most-watched events on the tech industry calendar. The latest version of
the company’s main product — generating more than half its revenue —
may sport a larger, higher-end screen, sources have said.
The new screen could measure four inches
from corner to corner, one source has said, an increase from the
3.5-inch display that has been held constant since the smartphone began
selling in 2007 and revolutionized the mobile industry. more after the cut...
Some analysts say the larger screen may
be a response to rival Samsung Electronics, whose larger, Google Android
phones have helped it become the world’s biggest smartphone maker.
Speculation had also arisen in past
months that the company might offer details about a smaller version of
its iPad, but the emailed invitation offered no hint of that on Tuesday.
The event will take place at San
Francisco‘s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the preferred venue for
the unveiling of past products such as the iPad.
The new iPhone will hit store shelves in
time for the crucial holiday season. Shares in the company edged 0.6
per cent higher to $669.44.
