The analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, also claims Apple will be ramping up production of the iPhone 5 in August for either a September or October 2011 release, suggesting the iPhone 5 will lag behind the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/28/wwdc-2011-date-june-6/">date of WWDC 2011</a> by several months.</p> <p>The analysts notes appeared on <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/04/18/mass_production_of_apples_a5__qualcomm_powered_iphone_5_rumored_for_sept_.html">AppleInsider</a>, which goes on to mention that a fall release of an iPhone 5 could push back an update to the iPod touch lineup, possibly due to component shortages. </p> <p>Ming-Chi Kuo has a fairly accurate history of predictions regarding Apple products and releases. AppleInsider notes that Kuo accurately predicted that iPad 2 would have the same screen resolution as the first gen iPad, and that iPad 2 would include the same camera as the iPod touch.
