iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4S, does it matter with the A5?

The iPhone 5 will not be coming out in September as earlier reported by Reuters. This, according to Peter Misek, an analyst for the Jefferies Group. However, if you were counting on the new iPhone as your next phone purchase, you are in luck. The new iPhone 4S will indeed  have the A5 processor--the very one currently found in the iPad 2.

It has been said that a group of developers have been given access to prototypes of the next-generation iPhone. The units seem to be typical iPhone 4 models retrofitted with a version of the aforementioned A5 processor. The developers will likely be optimizing apps to better take advantage of the enhanced capability of the new hardware.

The new iPhone 4S, if that is its real name, will likely come with more than just a faster processor. Better 8 megapixel cameras and HSPA+ support are also likely to enhance the experience, although not as much as expected. Unfortunately, the anticipated 4G chips will not be ready for some time.

The iPhone's movement away from wireless carrier monogamy will continue its course as Sprint, T-Mobile and China Mobile join the two carriers that are currently supported, AT&T and Verizon.
