iPhone 5 launch window confirmed at SA event

Al Gore, an Apple board member, told an audience in South Africa that new iPhones would be coming out in October 2011.

Glad I'm not one those that have just forked out thousands for an iPhone 4 ( or got one on contract upgrade/renewal).

Can't wait to get this phone. Hopefully the full HD video camera is really included.

I just hope we get the new software on older models like 3GS. Already we have seen the old models losing out on some features like wireless network point in the latest update.

I've heard romours that this will be a global launch. Can anyone confirm that SA will get the new phone at the same time as the rest of the world?

Indeed iOS5 will run on the 3GS. I have my wife's 3GS running iOS5 beta. It is a little slower than iOS4, but given all the changes and improvements I am not surprised. Still hoping for a bit of a speed improvement though before GM or final release.

Laser keyboard and holographic screen? Probably not but it would be very cool

I saw that and its definitely fake. Not a chance its real.

My contract ends this month so perfect timing. Hope we don't have to wait too long for it to be released here

Find it interesting that iOS5 has almost the same kind of notification area as Android phones. Think Google should sue for stealing ideas.

Really don't know whats so great about the features that everyone is anticipating either. Android phones had most of them for the past 2 - 3 years already.
