iPhone 5 Release Date Confirmed by Official Apple Invitations for Sept. 12 Event
The iPhone 5 release date is literally days away as Apple has reportedly sent out official invitations to its unveiling event on September 12, 2012.
The invitation is in classic Apple style; being kept simple and white, but generating huge excitement with its minimal wording.
Despite not specifically mentioning the iPhone 5, Apple still manages to leave no one in doubt that the iPhone 5 will be unveiled at the event. The invitation has a large number 12 on the face - which corresponds to the date of the event - and this huge number casts a shadow, which is of the number 5 - clearly indicating the iPhone 5 will be made public on that date.
The iPhone 5 is probably the most highly anticipated smartphone to ever be released. For more than a year now Apple fans have touted its release. Many were left slightly disappointed last year by the release of the iPhone 4S instead of the 5, and that unveiling was a revamped iPhone 4 rather than a radical upgrade - which the iPhone 5 promises.
The invitation also builds anticipation to boiling point with the words: "It's almost here."
The event will take place at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, which is where the company has given presentations and made unveilings in the past.
The new device has been engulfed in rumors over recent months, with one of the latest actually surrounding one of the accessories to the device. Reportedly the iPhone 5 will launch with earphones featuring a new design.
A Vietnamese site recently posted a video that shows the redesigned earphones, which was reportedly designed in California and assembled in Vietnam. They are specifically designed to not come apart the way older earbuds sometimes do and they resemble horse heads.
Various rumors have commented on the iPhone 5 having a larger screen than the iPhone 4S, and if Apple is to keep up with the current trends in the market then it is highly likely a larger screen size will be the case.
However, Apple has as usual refused to give anything away and has been happy to let the rumors run wild to help build anticipation of the next generation device. However, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as "it's almost here."
