iPhone 5 specs: Just a minor update from iPhone 4, says report

  • by
Holding off on buying the iPhone 4 while you wait to see what Apple has in store next? New reports suggest you wouldn’t be missing out on much. According to inside sources at Taiwanese site DigiTimes, the iPhone 5 “does not seem to have any major updates from the iPhone 4.”

Despite many complimentary rumours building up around the iPhone 5’s spec regarding upgraded cameras, slimmer profiles and larger screens, this new source is claiming that upgrades will be very minor – presumably just to sort out the iPhone 4’s infamous signal problem.

“Sources pointed out that as the iPhone 5, which does not seem to have any major update from iPhone 4, is already set for shipment in September,” claims the site, which sits in line with the general consensus that the next Apple handset will drop at the same time as the annual iPod range update. While anyone claiming to be an Apple inside source should be taken with a large pinch of salt, Taiwan is where Apple outsources its assembly to – so there could be a strand of truth in it.

Should this rumour be believed, or do you think that the iPhone 5 will stand miles ahead of the current handset? Let us know on the Gadget Helpline Twitter feed.
