'iPhone 4S' Pinned for September Release, Adjusted Camera Revealed

The next generation iPhone is rumoured to arrive in September of this year and be dubbed 'iPhone 4S' if one report from an analyst is to be believed. The report from Jeffries & Co. analyst Peter Misek does cover some already well rumoured information but also adds a number of new tidbits.

Misek writes that the next iPhone will not support 4G networking and will stick with the current 3G connectivity of the current iPhone 4 with a minor update to HSPA+, the analyst also asserts that the iPhone update will be minor and be named 'iPhone 4S'.

Citing industry checks as his source of data Misek goes onto describe the update as, "minor cosmetic changes, better cameras, A5 dual-core processor, and HSPA+ support."

The analyst also notes that the upcoming iPhone update will be available on Sprint and T-Mobile in the United States and China Mobile in China.

Additionally, website Apple.pro has revealed purported images of both the front and rear facing camera from the next-generation iPhone. The parts from the often reliable site suggest little will change concerning the camera in the iPhone 5, with one notable difference. The rear camera shows that the LED-flash has been moved away from the immediate vicinity of the camera.
