Apple to ship new iPhone in September: sources

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Apple's next-generation iPhone will have a faster processor and will begin shipping in September, three people with direct knowledge of the company's supply chain said.

The production of the new iPhone will start in July/August and the smartphone will look largely similar to the iPhone 4, one of the people said on Wednesday.

The iPhone -- introduced in 2007 with the touchscreen, on-demand application template now adopted by its rivals -- remains the gold standard in the booming smartphone market.

Reports on the timeline of the new iPhone launch vary, though it is largely expected that Apple will likely refresh its iPhone 4 later this year.

The sources declined to be identified because the plans for the new iPhone were not yet public. An Apple spokeswoman in Hong Kong was not available for comment.

The iPhone is one of Apple's most successful products, with more than 16 million sold in the last quarter of 2010 and the product accounted for more than a third of the company's sales in the quarter.

The current iPhone 4 was launched by Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs in June last year and began shipping the same month in 2010.

Apple sources many of its components from Taiwan-based suppliers, many of whom are expected to benefit from an uptick in sales as some of them rely on the U.S. company for about 20-40 percent of their business, said Vincent Chen, an analyst at Yuanta Securities.

"For some suppliers, Apple is their cash cow, or their bread and butter," Chen said.

"With all these versions being launched so frequently, it will be the so-called low-margin suppliers, such as those that assemble the phones, who will benefit the most."

Suppliers to the new iPhone include camera module maker Largan Precision Co Ltd, touchscreen panel maker Wintek Corp and case maker Foxconn Technology Co Ltd, two of the people said.

The companies would begin production either in July or August before shipping components to Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, flagship of Foxconn Technology Group, for assembly, they said.

Officials at Largan, Wintek and Foxconn declined to comment.

On Wednesday, Largan's Taipei-listed shares ended up 3.7 percent, Hon Hai rose 4.3 percent and Foxconn rose 6.6 percent, outpacing the benchmark TAIEX share index's 2 percent advance.

Apple, a big purchaser of touchscreen displays and flash memory, is also dependent on Japan for some of its key components, sparking concern that the disruption due to the crisis there may hurt its gross margins.

Apple is expected to report another spectacular quarter on Wednesday, tempered by growing caution over how supply constraints will squeeze margins and restrain iPhone and iPad sales.

Welcome to the land of smartphones! It's like when we were first buying computers. Remember that? Back before there were all these bells and whistles to worry about and you'd get your 386 and, as soon as you got Commander Keen or Scorched Earth going, they had announced the 486, and then the Pentium... There was no keeping up!

So... Verizon wants me to upgrade to an Apple iphone 4s, 32 gig for 199. I should do it, right? The Droid is still treating me fine, but I'm very much aware that everyone around me is living a much, much, much better life. Even my boss is like, "Siri, tell me how much Nacho sucks" and he gets the answer in 1 second.

[Tatertots]

Siri's great! Yes, yes you should. Then there's iMessage, which means you never have to pay for SMS to other iPhone users again, and it works transparently. Among all the other reasons that iPhone users are annoying.

Get one so you can be a huge fag like me and Monkey.

[RottingCorpse]

And me! I have an iPhone too! I'm part of the hive mind, right?

Hey guys, can I come in the hive?

Of course, I keep reading about how switching to the iphone is difficult for heavy Google users. I'm keeping tabs on eight Gmail accounts, and heavily use Google chat... I also use the free navigation tool all the time via Google Maps because I live in a city that doesn't make sense.

So I read about how it's a pain to sync multiple gmail accounts and receive notifications (ditto gchat) and how navigation on the iphone is sub-par unless you shell out for an app...

True or false?
