Geek Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img alt="iPhone 5 due Summer 2012" src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/iphone-5-mockup.jpg" title="iPhone 5 mockup" class="aligncenter" width="620" height="536" /></p> <p>The <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/iphone-5/">iPhone 5</a> is scheduled to debut at Apple’s Developer’s Conference in the summer of 2012, and is said to be the last major Apple project that Steve Jobs was deeply involved with. This is according to a report from <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-20120919-64/steve-jobs-last-big-project-the-next-iphone/">CNET</a>, who cites a research analyst in addition to their own source on the matter:</p> <blockquote><p>[iPhone 5] was the last project that Steve Jobs was intimately involved with from concept to final design. For that reason…this product will establish the high water mark for iPhone volumes,” Ashok Kumar, an analyst at Rodman & Renshaw, wrote in a research note this week. He expects the iPhone 5 to be a “cult classic” because of Jobs’ involvement.</p></blockquote> <p>The expected feature set falls in line with many of the past iPhone 5 rumors, suggesting the device is a complete redesign which include a slimmer profile, larger screen, and LTE 4G connectivity. CNET’s own source on the next iPhone claims it is:</p> <blockquote><p>“a very large project that Steve dedicated all of his time to. He was not that involved in the 4S because his time was limited.”</p></blockquote> <p>Even if it didn’t have the center of Steve’s focus or magic touch, the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/iphone-4s/">iPhone 4S</a> has been a smash hit for Apple, blowing away the previous record launch of the iPhone 4 with over four million units sold in the <a href="http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/10/17iPhone-4S-First-Weekend-Sales-Top-Four-Million.html">first weekend alone</a>.</p> <p>While the next-gen iPhone may have been the last major project with Jobs direct involvement, other <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/11/steve-jobs-planned-4-years-of-new-apple-products/">reports indicate that Mr Jobs detailed over four years of products for Apple’s pipeline</a>, suggesting that nearly all products the company introduces over the next few years had at least some collaboration.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2X402a3UQYI6ej6UA58fWWU3QMI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2X402a3UQYI6ej6UA58fWWU3QMI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2X402a3UQYI6ej6UA58fWWU3QMI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2X402a3UQYI6ej6UA58fWWU3QMI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=5A1pxrroBzo:VaFvw5wGrgo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=5A1pxrroBzo:VaFvw5wGrgo:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=5A1pxrroBzo:VaFvw5wGrgo:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=5A1pxrroBzo:VaFvw5wGrgo:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=5A1pxrroBzo:VaFvw5wGrgo:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=5A1pxrroBzo:VaFvw5wGrgo:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=5A1pxrroBzo:VaFvw5wGrgo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/5A1pxrroBzo" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
