With a large following of about 14 million readers, his post on the iPhone 5 earned thousands of replies and comments. This apparently reveals the true buying sentiment and enthusiasm of the public with regards to the upcoming release of the iPhone 5.
Lin announced, “Today I can confirm that the upcoming iPhone 5 will be longer and will have aluminum back like the iPad. With its four-inch screen and thin body it feels about the same in the hand [as iPhone 4S did]. The iPhone 5 doesn’t use the standard 30-pin dock connector; instead Apple put a smaller 19-pin connector."
Tech experts expect the release of the new iPhone 5 this September. Meanwhile, the right to sell the phones will be up for grabs as the biggest mobile networks in the Philippines, Globe and Smart, potentially bid for its sole dealership.
