Steve Jobs was dedicating most of his time to the iPhone 5 before his death. 

"Recently CNET said: …the iPhone 5 is a “complete redesign. This is a very 
large project that Steve dedicated all of his time to. He was not that involved 
in the 4S because his time was limited.”

The iPhone 5 release date rumour mill is up and running. According so some, 
iPhone 5 release date would be in year 2012, but the exact release date of 
iPhone 5 is not yet known.

No, no-one knows when the iPhone 5 will be released, there are always plenty of 
rumours out there, and plenty saying that it will be released in late 2012 … 
but they are ONLY rumours. 
You won’t know when it is to be released until Apple announce a release date!

The same applies to the release date of the iPad 3, that will ‘possibly’ be 
released in 2012.

Personally, I do expect the iPhone 5 & iPad 3 to be released in 2012 … but when 
in 2012?
I think the iPad 3 will be released before the iPhone 5.

I’m sure you would know my answer to this question Chris … the iPhone is by far 
the most advanced Smart Phone available!
The iPhone 4S (which I have) and iOS5 is a great phone and operating system. 
Just SIRI is enough to make you want to purchase an iPhone 4S ;-)

Cheers,
Ronni
