iPhone 5 rumor roll-up for the week ending Sept. 16

16.09.2011

Dismissively dismissing the lamestream of well-worn rumors, instead what it calls "real info."

"The iPhone 5 itself is a sight to behold, we've been told," Seth Weintraub writes poetically. He repeatedly says "we've heard" but never even hints at who is doing the talking which "we" are hearing. The New York Times, still clinging to outmoded old-journalism "standards," at least referenced " employees."

"It is impossibly light, yet much firmer than Samsung Galaxy phones which are backed in plastic," Weintraub enthuses. "The camera rivals point and shoot cameras and will be a major marketing point for this device."

But, oh woe is we. There is bad news.

"It appears that the tear-drop shaped iPhone 5 with larger screen and thinner, rounder body is seeing continued design and production delays, at least on one assembly line (Apple has multiple production sources -- Pegatron, Foxconn, etc)," claims Weintraub. "We therefore think that iPhone 5 will be delayed slightly at the very least and may see shortages all the way into 2012."
