iPhone 5 Coming Summer “At Earliest”

Apple generally release the next generation iPhone in June or July and have done so ever year religiously since the iPhone came about. So I think it’s a fairly safe bet to say that the iPhone 5 will find its way to our stores sometime in June or July unless an unforeseen event occurs.
Some gossip going on among the Apple supply chain has added Foxconn Electronics, Foxlink, Gold Circuit Electronics (GCE) and Epistar as component suppliers for the iPhone 5 smartphone, scheduled for launch during summer at the earliest, according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report.
It’s also said that Foxconn are Apple’s new earphone suppliers as well, the previous supplier Japan’s Foster losing out because of the strengthening Yen as Apple are looking to reduce their costs.
The rumors suggest that there are a couple of different suppliers on board with Apple now, but this shouldn’t really affect what the iPhone 5 will turn out, I’d imagine it’s just Apple looking to reduce costs and increase their already rather larger profit margin.
