Apple may roll out 3 new iPhone models this summer
As if all the chatter about Apple iPhone’s pending arrival in Canada later this year wasn’t enough, we’re now hearing through a Taiwanese news site that Apple may roll out three new iPhone models this summer.
Taiwan’s Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. has apparently received an order to make 25 million units of the next-generation iPhone and would begin to ship the phones in June, the Taiwan Economic News reported on Wednesday.
The online report says Apple plans to diversify its iPhone product line in order to widen its reach in the mobile phone market. The new models will adopt a smaller, plastic casing, instead of its current display of aluminum magnesium. Other reports even suggest the possibility of a 5 megapixel camera, video recording and playback and an FM radio tuner.
One of the three new models won't offer 3G support, but the report says Apple intends selling a higher-specified iPhone equipped with such support.
The new models will weigh between 110 and 120 grams, much lighter than the 135-gram weight of the current one. It will also offer a 2.8-inch screen, rather than the 3.5-inch screen currently offered on the iPhone.
Earlier this week, Rogers Communications Inc. confirmed that the all-in-one touch screen iPhone would be available on its network later this year.
