On October 4, 2011 at 10:00am Pacific Saving Time, the world’s largest mobile devices company will introduce a new version of the iPhone at Apple’s Cupertino campus, Silicon Valley, California. This is going to be the first upgrade of its popular smartphone since Steve Jobs resigned as CEO on August 24, 2011. After the resignation, Mr. Jobs turned Apple’s leadership over to his chosen-one and right-hand man Tim Cook. Mr. Jobs is now the world’s most valuable technology company chairman.
Apple sent out invitations early this morning to all top bloggers, tech watchers and Wall Street analysts with a subject line stating “Let’s talk iPhone.” There is no doubt everyone to attend the event will be talking to Tim Cook at its headquarters in Cupertino, California.
The new iPhone (dubbed as iPhone 5) will include an 8 MB camera, faster duo-core chips (similar to iPad 2) and more memory RAMs. The new iPhone will run on new software called iOS 5 with a ton of new features such as iMessage for text messaging systems (similar to BlackBerry Messeger/BBM) and super-size storage for apps a.k.a iCloud. Tech watchers rumored iCloud is currently hosted by Microsoft Azure Cloud services. The Apple’s iCloud service will allow users to access from one-place for music, documents, pictures and files and can also sync all types of Apple devices including iPhones, iPads, and iPods. The new phone is also equipped with a Qualcomm dual-mode GSM/CDMA baseband for world travelers.
The first iPhone was introduced in 2007. Soon after that, many phone subscribers in America switched to the new phone thru AT&T and later via Verizon Wireless. The iPhone sales have boosted Apple’s revenue and beating several new records in term of quarterly revenue. The latest financial report showing iPhone sales contributed to almost 50% of Apple’s total revenue.
