iPhone 5 rumor roll-up for the week ending Aug. 12

12.08.2011

It's amazing how much you can learn from just looking at a screenshot from a reliable source.

iPhone 5 will have 4G after all! But it won't be the iPhone 5.

Wow. "China Mobile 'confirms' next gen iPhone to be 4G!" That's how headlined its scoop.

"China Mobile claims that it has reached an agreement with Apple to bring to bring its 4th generation TD-LTE mobile data connection to the next generation iPhone," it reported breathlessly. But the claim "doesn't specify which model of iPhone it will be in." Oh.

Nevertheless, it "could hint at the next generation iPhone actually being an iPhone 4S type device, with updated 4G capabilities, rather than a totally new iPhone 5 design."
