When is the New iPhone Coming Out

Over the last few years, Apple iPhone has come up as one of the most famous brands of the world and that explains why people have their eyes set on the next iPhone release date, long before the manufacturer actually announces the same. Everybody is more than eager to get the new version of iPhone as soon as it is made available. A mere look at the first month sales of Apple iPhone (original), iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4G, speaks in volumes about how eager people are to own this device. The picture is not much different this time around, with thousands of individuals trying their best to get some inside scoop on when is the new iPhone coming out for 2011 - and we, mind you, are no exception.

When Does the New iPhone Come Out?

A look at Apple products timeline, and you will notice that Apple Inc. follows a particular trend when it comes to iPhone versions release. There is roughly a yearlong break between two versions of the iPhone - with the releases often scheduled for June or July. Apple iPhone original was released on 29th June, 2007, iPhone 3G on 11th July, 2008, iPhone 3GS on 19th June, 2009, and iPhone 4G on 24th June, 2010. This yearlong break is considered to be of strategic importance as that it allows the product to settle down and just when the end user gets bored of it - the new version is launched to make sure that the users don't change loyalties. Even iPhone users are so used to this trend that it has become a general belief that new iPhone version will be launched at the same time of the year, and people look forward to it. It is highly unlikely that Apple will do away with this trend in 2011, and this happens to be an important reason for us to believe that the iPhone 5G 2011 release is just a few months away.

When is the New iPhone Coming Out?

Other than the signature yearlong break, there are two important factors which have made people all the more eager to know when is the iPhone 5 coming out - antenna-gate fiasco and intense competition from a range of smartphones. The antenna issues with iPhone 4 did hamper the image of brand iPhone and these issues seem to be far from over. In such a situation, it would be least surprising to see Apple get into a damage control mode, and hasten the release of next generation iPhone 5. At the same time, quite a few 4G network smartphones - including HTC Evo Shift, LG Revolution, Motorola Droid Bionic, HTC Thunderbolt, etc. are scheduled for release over the next few months.

The antenna-gate fiasco is bound to make iPhone users give a second to their loyalty to Apple - especially with the competition getting all the more intense and more of options available to choose from. As a result of this, Apple may go ahead and do the unthinkable - by releasing the new iPhone 5 in the month of May itself. That will surely come as a pleasant news for all those people who are eager to know when is the new Apple iPhone coming out in 2011. As of now though, Apple has preferred to keep the release date of iPhone 5 and its price under wraps - as a result of which we are forced to rely on iPhone 5 rumors and speculations that are making a lot of noise in the tech arena.

The iPhone series release timeline also suggests that Apple Inc. announces its products just two weeks before their release, unlike other manufacturers who announce their products a month or so before the scheduled release. This hints at the fact that Apple will not make any official announcement about iPhone 5 release date until May even if the release is scheduled for June or July. However, we will make sure that we keep you updated with all the scoops on when is the new iPhone coming out as developments take place.

iPhone 5 Release Date Update: It is now confirmed that Apple is all set to release the next generation iPhone i.e. the iPhone 5, on 4th October, 2011. The same was revealed by a press invite of Apple's 4th October event, titled 'Let's Talk iPhone', which will be held at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. With the retirement of Steve Jobs, the new Apple CEO Tim Cooks will head the proceedings at this Apple event.
