Apple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to the <em>China Economic News Service<\/em>, Apple&#8217;s eagerly anticipated iPhone 5 may become available to US consumers sometime this August.&nbsp; Although the report at this time is largely based on speculation, analysts suspect that an early launch would allow Apple&#8217;s market share to surge upward as teens, college students, and their parents snatch up the units as part of their back-to-school shopping.&nbsp; Another factor that could encourage an early launch is the fact that with Europe&#8217;s debt crisis continuing to worsen, Apple may be aware that sales there are likely to be weak, which would make a move to capture the American back-to-school market all the more imperative.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Philip Liu of CENS has also provided the public with additional details about possible technical specifications to be incorporated into the iPhone 5.&nbsp; The phone may feature an improved version of Siri, the \u2018personal assistant\u2019 that phone users could ask almost anything.&nbsp; Siri is a mixed blessing, however, for phone users who lack an unlimited data plan.&nbsp; According to research conducted on the iPhone 4S, using the voice-activated service consumes much more bandwidth than users realize, causing some of them to pay significant surcharges when they exceed their monthly data limits.&nbsp; Another rumored change in the iPhone 5 is the use of a new connector cable with a proprietary design, a blow to users who prefer that their cables be as interoperable as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to sell your cell phone when the iPhone 5 becomes fully available, look online to find a recycling firm that deals with electronics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the China Economic News Service, Apple&#8217;s eagerly anticipated iPhone 5 may become available to US consumers sometime
