Although reports are based on the naming - with some sources suggesting that it will be called the iPhone 4G or 4S - The Guardian was told that the shape of the device very similar to the existing iPhone 4, which was published in summer 2010.
The suppliers are also to be understood for another iPhone release prepared during 2012, although the timing on that is less secure. Some suggest that could be the next model coming out in March.
The Guardian understands that while the new version will look very like the iPhone 4, it can dispense with some of the visible buttons on the side of the device for volume control.
Other reports on Bloomberg suggests that the new phone is an A5-processor to include the iPhone in second March and published applications have a 8MP camera (5MP compared with the iPhone 4). Reports suggest that tests with higher resolution or a larger version on the screen than that in the present model.
The new devices include Apple's new 5-IOS software, the icloud their ability to synchronize data between the devices to activate and upgrade phones, and without connection to a computer, as well as offering photo-sharing and Twitter messages over many apps .
Richard Windsor, a global technology marketing analyst at Nomura Securities, said he expected the version sold in September, at around the same price as the existing one, which Apple sells for around $ 600 have. "We think it is an iPhone in September 5 - the suppliers have been booted for that," he said.
The crucial question, Windsor said, is whether Apple is a mid-range phone for around 300 dollars to capture a larger share of the market. If that happens, he suggests, Apple's share of the smartphone market - currently sells about 19% of the 100 units per quarter - could explode, as the market itself is growing this year and 2012.
But Windsor said he has seen no signs, early next year that Apple is preparing a "mid-range" phone so far for the start, which would be required in order to capture a significant slice of the market.
Phones with Google's Android operating system have taken a dominant share of the smartphone market in the past six months, with a 31% share in the first quarter. Android driven by Nokia's Symbian operating system was the leading smartphone platform for years, in the first quarter of this year. Apple is in third place, although analysts Apple Nokia in the current quarter, which ends in just over a week expect to pass.
The smartphone market is expected to grow 55% this year, hit by 472m and 1 billion units in 2015, according to market research firm IDC. With Android devices and from October, Nokia devices with Microsoft's Windows Mobile software in the competition for this market, it may become a necessity for Apple at a mid-range device, producing in order to capture more revenue, as in the music player market has, when he launched the iPod Mini, iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle.
IDC expects that Android will grow to more than 40% of the market by the end of 2011, while Windsor at Nomura expects Apple to Nokia over to second in smartphone sales to Samsung to take.
The new iPhone would be hotly anticipated, but Apple wants to play down the reports before the summer season in case relates to sales.
