After Apple had just recently released their new iPhone 5 model, it looks or seems to be that Apple is at it again. Yes that's right, Apple is planning on releasing another iPhone model, the "iPhone 5S" just after they have released a brand new one about a couple of months ago. These rumours are in its early stages and it seems to be that production may start in beginning of 2013. If these rumours are true, then the buyers of the current iPhone will lose out and feel that they have wasted money. There are still however no details as to what new features will be on this phone. Apple seems to be releasing products year after year that seem to be the same as the previous versions. Like the iPad just came our with a smaller version, "iPad Mini" that doesn't seem to appeal to the majority of Apple fans and users. To me, this seems like Apple is desperate to make some major moves to counter their rivals, Samsung after their recent release on the "Galaxy S3" that received more positive reviews than the iPhone 5 did. If there are no changes to the iPhone 5S and is just the same as its last version, Samsung could be on its way to being the top brand for cellphones and you can expects Apple to decline.

My buddy just shared this news with me on the weekend! Historically, Apple has waited approximately 3/4 - 1 year between new model releases. In this case, they are expediating it greatly! One reason is that there are some relatively known glitches in the 5 model such as the highly documented "maps."
ReplyDeleteI am about to pick up a new phone (maybe waiting for some Christmas deals) and now I will either wait for the 5s ORRRRR this does represent a bit of an opportunity for consumers...as soon as they roll out the 5s, the price of the 5 will decrease (as always happens)...so if you just want a gen 5 model, and don't care about the 5s, waiting just a tad will enable you to spend much less.
Thanks for the update JC!

I did not know that there might be a Iphone 5s coming out next year. If Iphone 5s does come out, I think that the Iphone 5s might be bigger than the previous versions, have more memory space, and more games. Usually, Apple makes the latest products similar to the previous ones.
ReplyDeleteThis is yet another reason why I hate Apple and am a Samsung fan. It's true, Apple has reached it's peak and now they're desperate for money. What was the point in releasing the Iphone 5 only to make a better one a few months later? This is just ripping people of they're money, once people get the new apple product something better comes along and they've just wasted their money, which isn't right. The Apple company should either make something COMPLETELY different or wait longer to release a really similar item, what is the point in upsetting your whole consumer base?
