iPhone 5 delayed, iPhone 4S is real

Yesterday the iPhone 5 rumors got another kick, by an obvious marketing stunt by Case-Mate. Case-Mate had images of alleged iPhone 5 cases "leak" on their site. They have been very successful in getting attention for their upcoming iPhone 5 cases. Even the New York Times took note. They also reiterated that NFC mobile payment will either come to the iPhone 5 or iPhone 6. Today 9to5Mac reaffirms rumors that we are indeed getting two new iPhone models. The iPhone 4S will be priced lower so it can be also attractive fore PrePaid customers.

The new iPhone 5 is also coming, but might be delayed and in short supply once launched. The iPhone 5 would indeed feature the tear-drop design that we saw months ago. 9to5Mac adds that their sources tell them that the iPhone 5 is a real stunner. It is supposed very light, but feels firmer than a Samsung Galaxy. The camera in the iPhone 5 is supposed to be as good as point and shoot cameras.

All in all there is nothing really new here. The redesigned iPhone 5 could be real, but also not as the months old rumors get a life of their own. As mentioned before, we expect Apple to hold a media event for the new iPhone this month. Then we will finally know what the iPhone 5 is all about.
