iPhone 5 to be announced in late August? Available in late September?

[haruhiko]

Based on the previous release schedule of iOS softwares, and the current 19 day interval between the iOS 5 beta 1 and beta 2, do you think it's reasonable to predict that Apple will release iOS 5 in late August and at the same time they will announce the iPhone 5?

iOS 5 beta 1 2011/6/6
iOS 5 beta 2 2011/6/25 +19 days
iOS 5 beta 3 2011/7/14 +19 days
iOS 5 GM 2011/8/2 +19 days
iOS 5 release 2011/8/21 +19 days --> iPhone 5 announcement? Availability in one month?


just my wild guess.

It is quite obvious that Apple is throwing off the past timelines... iPhone 5 would have been out by now if they were sticking to the timelines of the past.

I doubt Apple has any structured "beta" release schedule.. they release the next beta when they feel it is ready to be pushed out and when they clear through any backlog of bug reports from prior beta releases.

You said exactly what I was going to say.

I agree.
