New York: The hype over the white iPhone 4 has hardly died down but reports have already surfaced of the iPhone 5 already beginning production. According to the British newspaper, the Guardian, iPhone 5 is expected to be released in September and is expected to be thinner and lighter than its predecessor and could possibly include wireless charging.
Meanwhile the Wall Street Journal said that Apple's suppliers have said that the new version will also include an 8-megapixel camera.
The WSJ also reported one of Apple's suppliers suggesting that the company has a goal of 25m units [shipped] "by the end of the year" and that "the initial production volume will be a few million units.
According the report, Digitimes, a Taiwan-based electronics newspaper, reported that Pegatron, a major Taiwan-based notebook maker, has received orders for 15m "iPhone 5" – or "iPhone 4S" – devices to be shipped in September, based on reports from upstream suppliers to the company. It suggests that Pegatron has been building CDMA phones which would be used on the Verizon network in the US and some Asian carriers. Most iPhones sold at present are GSM rather than CDMA, which was only introduced in January.
The WSJ also suggested that the phone would have been launched in the summer but for delays in production – though that does not chime with the schedule for the release of iOS 5.0, the latest update to Apple's mobile operating system which was announced at its WWDC conference in June but will not be available until September.
The WSJ also quoted one person who said that Apple may include "a new way of charging the phone". That could imply wireless charging like that used by the HP TouchPad tablet, which uses an induction system to recharge the battery as Lenovo N100 Adapter, IBM Thinkpad 240 Adapter, IBM Thinkpad 600 Adapter, IBM Thinkpad A30 Adapter, IBM Thinkpad R30 Adapter, IBM Thinkpad R51 Adapter, IBM Thinkpad R60 Adapter, IBM Thinkpad T42 Adapter, IBM Thinkpad X60 Adapter, IBM 92P1025 Adapter

Alternatively, it might mean that Apple will follow the EC regulations introduced last year which mandate the use of a micro-USB port for charging: "In response to citizens' demand for a common charger, the Commission invited manufacturers to agree on a technical solution making the chargers of different brands compatible," said the EC's press release last December. "As a result, world leading mobile phone producers committed themselves to ensure compatibility of data-enabled mobile phones, expected to be predominant in the market within two years, on the basis of the micro-USB connector."
According to the Guardian, Taiwan-based Hon Hai, which owns the Chinese manufacturing company Foxconn, is the world's biggest contract manufacturer of electronics by revenue. Apple uses it to assemble products, as do companies including Acer, Amazon, Asus, Dell and Nokia.
In the first quarter of 2011, Apple said it shipped 18.6m iPhones, and the number is expected to have increased as the company has strengthened its position with Verizon, the second biggest carrier in the US. Apple's financial results for the quarter ended 30 June will be released on Tuesday 19 July, including iPhone shipment figures, which analysts are expecting to have increased.
Data from comScore released on Tuesday suggested that Apple had gained an extra 3 million iPhone users in the US between February and May. Digitimes reports that Pegatron had expected to sell 10m CDMA iPhone 4 devices earlier this year, but in fact shipped less than 4m in the first quarter.
