iPhone 5 coming this fall, says analyst

A research note from an investment bank today sees an iPhone 5 coming this fall and sees strong growth for Apple's popular phone in the coming quarter.

The iPhone will comprise roughly 50 percent of Apple's total revenue in the next reported quarter, wrote Tavis McCourt of Morgan Keegan.

"We expect iPhone revenues to represent 47.5% of Apple's total revenues in [the December quarter], up from 38.8% in the Sep. quarter, and up from 39.1% in the year ago period," he wrote.

And he is upping his iPhone shipment estimate for the quarter to 29 million from the previous estimate of 27 million.

The iPhone 5 and Apple TV will be significant growth drivers later in the year. "We expect iPhone 5 in fall 2012 to be a significant revenue and earnings growth driver, and a potential Apple TV as upside to our model if it comes to fruition this year," he wrote.

What else can we expect on the iPhone 5 front? Instead of going through a litany of rumors, suffice to cite one of the most recent rumors about its physical construction. A combination of aluminum on the

Новые iPhone и iPad с поддержкой LTE

Следующее поколение смартфона iPhone и планшета iPad, появление которых запланировано на 2012 год, получит модули для работы в сетях четвертого поколения — LTE.

Планшет iPad 3 со встроенным модулем для передачи данных в LTE-сетях появится у японского оператора NTT DoCoMo летом 2012 года. Продажи следующего поколения iPhone с поддержкой LTE этот оператор начнет осенью того же года. На американском рынке эти устройства могут появиться даже раньше.

Сейчас продажей iPhone на японском рынке занимаются операторы KDDI и Softbank. Хотя ранее СМИ и сообщали, что в ноябре Apple и NTT DoCoMo достигли соглашения по поставкам iPhone и iPad, представители оператора опровергают эту информацию.

Данный шаг Apple вполне логичен, т.к. производство Android-смартфонов с поддержкой LTE все больше набирает обороты.

Смартфоны Apple, в том числе последняя модель iPhone 4S, поддерживают работу только в сетях третьего поколения — HSDPA с теоретической скоростью скачивания файлов до 14,4 Мбит/c - в два раза больше, чем позволял iPhone 4.
