It’s practically August now. Well, we’re about 48 hours from August 1st and for mobile watchers trying to decide when Apple will release new iOS devices this fall, it is going to be a feeding frenzy of rumors in the next four to six weeks. Obviously, the choice is clear for those who are considering switching, buying, or upgrading to a new iPhone: don’t buy anything for the next couple of months until Apple finally releases the 2012 iPhone, iPhone 5, or whatever they want to call it.
That’s for people in the United States and maybe Canada. The decision could be a little obviously for European customers and definitely harder for Asian mobile warriors because of the way Apple staggers their iPhone launches.
It comes down to a couple of factors. For instance, I needed a new iPhone last summer, 10 weeks before the new iPhone 4S came out and I went ahead and got the iPhone 4.
No regrets. Because I needed it. I did get the 4S three weeks after it was released, used it for a while and gave that to my mom. Right now, the iPhone 4 is one of my main mobile devices.
Today, there’s specific talk about when Apple will be unveiling and releasing the next iPhone and juicy details about other products. So, it’s that time of the year and while we’re still in July, it is already beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Bottom line: if you can wait, please do so. If you need something now, buy it, enjoy it, and don’t look back. Even at 9 months and 21 months old, the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 are two of the best mobile devices on the market respectively.
Note: I love reading rumors but won't traffic in them so you'll have to look through the pipes that is the Internet and find them for yourself. Today's rumors are quite specific so you won't have any trouble. My recommendation above is based on what I know at this particular time and based on Apple's history.
