New reports claims that carriers around the world have received the iPhone 5 for last minute testing before Apple starts manufacturing the device on a large scale.
The report was post on the well-known UK publication The Guardian by tech editor, Charles Arthur.
my carrier sources tell me that the boxes in which the new iPhone hardware is encased have been transported to carriers for testing. This is an important step in the release cycle for any phone.
Very few people have actually seen the device as the boxes is rarely opened and by senior staff only, The testing focuses on assess last-minute compatibility problems with the device’s connection to networks, The iPhone 5 will have a new case which will make it very it indistinguishable from the iPhone 4.
It’s very high security, as you could guess; my understanding is that barely anyone inside the carriers gets to open those boxes,
But these is all speculations, and there is nothing that confirms that the black boxes contains the iPhone 5 but it seems to be the logical explanation after the rumors of the soon release of the iPhone 5.
The iPhone 5 is expected to have a larger camera, better processing power and maybe a larger screen. It’s expected that Apple would announce the release at a special event next month.
