Did Case-Mate just accidentally confirm the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5?
With September in full swing, it's getting to the point where we're all looking at our watches and wondering when Apple is going to announce the iPhone 5. The rumor mill has had the launch of the device pegged for October, with an announcement supposedly scheduled for mid- to late-September, for months. Apple routinely has an iPod event in September, so many expect an iPhone 5 to be shown off too, but the company hasn't announced any such event yet. However, despite the month of September passing rapidly with no mention of a new iPhone from Apple, evidence to suggest there will be a new Apple smartphone continues to mount.
Boy Genius Report reports that accessory and case maker Case-Mate yesterday posted a page to its website with six different iPhone 5 case designs. The page was pulled pretty quickly (not before someone nabbed the photos), but it's led to speculation that the iPhone 5 will feature significant design changes when compared to the iPhone 4. The cases show a curved silver back to the phone, suggesting that Apple has decided to ditch the glass backing and it had adopted for the iPhone 4.Case-Mates's iPhone 5/iPhone 4S page now carries a message that says the new iPhone(s) will arrive soon and when that happens, the company will be ready.
"The wait is almost over as the next generation iPhone 5 / iPhone 4S will be released in the coming weeks," the message reads. "The new iPhone promises more technology than ever, all in the palm of your hand. The guessing game continues whether Apple will unveil the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4S. Case-Mate will be ready with a collection of iPhone 5 cases / iPhone 4S cases to protect your new iPhone in your own personal style."
Further down on the page, Case-Mate says its own 'resources' say there will be both an iPhone 4S and an iPhone 5.
The debate continues on whether the new iPhone will be an iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S. From our inside resources, it appears that Apple will be indeed launching both an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 4S in early October. The speculation indicates that the iPhone 4S will feature the same form factor as the iPhone 4 but will be upgraded with the latest technology, including the A5 dual-core processor and 8 megapixel camera.
