iPhone 4S will not have LTE

iPhone 4S will not have LTE Apple seems to be spacing out their next generation iPhone releases with an “intermediate” unit so to speak. Sandwiched between the iPhone 3G and iPhone 4 is the iPhone 3GS, and now that Apple has announced the iPhone 4S, it would mean the iPhone 5 will only arrive after that. Well, one thing is certain concerning the iPhone 4S – it will not come with LTE support at all because there are problems surrounding the yield rates of LTE chips from Qualcomm, so to release a device that has a chip which could end up gimped is not wise – not when you are selling one of the hottest smartphones in the market worldwide.

There were previous whispers of the iPhone 4S shipping alongside a Sony 8-megapixel camera, but it has now been confirmed that OmniVision will supply the camera – and here is the heartbreaking part, it will be similar to the iPhone 4, resolution and all. Sorry folks, that means no quantum leap in your mobile photos!

Word on the street has it that production of the iPhone 4S will commence from August this year onwards (earliest), and if things do not work out that way, then September would be next.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

iPhone: iPhone: The iPhone is Apple's line of smartphones. That was also the original name of the first iPhone, which was announced on January 9th 2007 by Steve Jobs during the Macworld Keynote. The iPhone was released to the public in June of the same year. The development of the iPhone started in 2004, was internally called "project purple" and was the fruit of a collaboration between Apple and AT&T. Since then, Apple has released new iPhone models every year, with the iPhone 3G in July 2008, the iPhone 3GS in June 2009, the iPhone 4 in June 2010, the iPhone 4S in October 2011 and the iPhone 5 in September 2012. The iPhone represented more than half of Apple's revenues in 2012.
