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

16.09.2011

That's the headline of a , who proves he knows how to rumor, or in English English, "rumour," with the best of them.

Such headlines are rarely if ever "real" questions. They tend to be either purely rhetorical or excuse for recycling rumors, or both.

Nowhere in his post does Athow actually cite any evidence that even hints that the iPhone 5 will be available as an LTE device capable of using AT&T's just-launched LTE network.

"AT&T has three 4G devices already on the market but there are rumours that the iPhone 5 may turn out to be one of them in a near future," Athow writes. "Interestingly enough, AT&T has yet to reveal the price of its LTE smartphone data pricing." The second sentence is clearly intended to somehow substantiate the first, even though there is simply no connection between them whatsoever. Except by the logic of the iOSsphere: If "B" has not happened, that indicates "A" can happen.

"Rumour has it that the next iPhone 5 may come with an LTE-compatible chipset which would allow it to compete with the likes of the HTC Evo 4G and the slew of 4G compatible handsets likely to be launched by the end of the year," Athow writes.
