Is 14 months since the launch Apple iPhone 4. This touch screen phone radical design in glass and metal. Although Antennagate, mobile phones will come. If you buy one, like me, the possibility of a year or less. The technology is relatively new, right? However, I suppose many of you, like me, think about the business remains bright, the phone is still strong, is still effective for new iPhone 5.
Last week, Apple Inc. e-mail invitation to an event from the media at its headquarters in Cupertino on Tuesday morning. Invite says "let's talk iPhone" implying confidential company wants to show the latest version of the device.
The first iPhone came out in 2007, and the signing of the phone looks sleek, high-resolution screen and intuitive software that won millions of followers in recent years. You can iPhones sold only 39 million between January and late June.
Outside iPhone itself, on Tuesday introduced the first product case is expected as a principal in the year not Apple led by Steve Jobs, according to the position of CEO in August after taking out indefinitely on medical leave since January. The founders Apple now CEO. And even if Jobs does not arise from medical leave twice this year to present the Apple innovations - most recently in June to show a new mobile software and content storage icloud - His successor, Tim Cook, is expected to lead this time.
And why?
Gadget trade-up phenomenon is nothing new, but it always surprises me. In this industry, what other consumers are so easy to give up something that works well for other reasons that could act incrementally better? The car comes to mind. People hire them, and after several years in what is more or less long term rental cars, which in turn their cars for new models. Car technology has not changed much in three years, but consumers can get a totally different car. In other words, that can go from driving a sedan, for example, a convertible.
In the case of artifacts, three years of life. Only four years old and has gone through more X0y0z a major upgrade. So maybe that explains the impetus for trade, or maybe not. This is what I think: Gadget owners do not want to be left hand or status symbol seems somewhat out of date. Everyone seems to know about the launch of five iPhone. If a few months from now caught around with iPhone 4, can be a great shame devices.
One of the biggest changes is difficult to predict many industry observers is the inclusion of a more powerful chip, dual-core processor Apple A5, which is the same chip used in the current IPAD. The chip works with four A4 iPhone Apple old, and moved to a larger capacity chip that should improve things such as multitasking, applications and games.
