Analyst: Next iPhone, iPad Mini to Launch in September - PC Magazine
While most rumors indicate that Apple will unveil the next iPhone in October, an analyst today said the highly anticipated smartphone could make its debut a month earlier.
"Looking forward to an exciting September from Apple," analyst Brian White with Topeka Capital Markets, wrote in a note to clients Monday following a round of meeting with his contacts in Taipei. "Regarding the widely anticipated iPhone 5, we believe a September launch is more likely than October."
Even better — the Cupertino tech giant will launch its sixth-generation iPhone alongside the much talked-about "iPad mini," White predicted. Recent rumors indicate that the scaled-down iPad will measure in at 7 inches, and be priced competitively at around $200 to $250.
On the next-gen iPhone front, White said he "gathered more data points" supporting his earlier prediction that the coveted device will have a unibody frame, which he believes will be manufactured by Hon Hai Precision, and another company. However, he put into question rumors that the body of the next iPhone will made of a super-tough alloy called Liquidmetal.
"Our contact was skeptical around the plethora of news stories highlighting Liquidmetal Technologies' potential involvement in the iPhone 5," White wrote.
Meanwhile, some have speculated that Apple could unveil the next iPhone as early as next week at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco. But don't get your hopes up. Apple didn't unveil the iPhone 4S until last October, and most rumors claim the tech giant is planning to keep a similar timeframe for the launch of its next iPhone.
The next-gen iPhone is largely expected to sport a larger, 4-inch screen. Other persistent rumors indicate that the phone will be about 20 percent thinner than its predecessor, with a metal backside, and smaller dock connector.
As for what Apple has up its sleeve for WWDC, rumors point to a revamped iCloud, Facebook integration with iOS 6, and a 3D mapping solution, among other things. PCMag will be at WWDC, which kicks off June 11, so stay tuned for all the details.

Telecom tariff might increase by 26 paisa, analyst - Top News India
According to an analyst at the research firm Ernst&Young, the telecom tariff is like to increase by as much as six times the 4.4 paisa estimated by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), or by 26 paisa per minute if the impact of two factors is considered.
Analyst said that the TRAI did not take into consideration the cost of license extension and the cost of spectrum to be auctioned while estimating the increase in tariff during financial year 2013.
Partner in member firm of EY Prashant Singhal said, "TRAI's assessment does not include the cost of license extension in addition to the cost of spectrum to be auctioned. Taking into account, these two factors only, EY-COAI estimates that the impact on cost per minute will be more than six times the 4.4 paisa." The remarks come just two days before the meeting of Empowered Group of Minister of telecom.
The analysis from the research firm sheds more light into the ongoing deliberations into the matter after TRAI recommended a base price of Rs 3,622 per unit of airwaves that are to be auctioned to the telecom service providers in the country.
New Telecom Policy and its Impact on the Enterprise - cio.in
With the Union Cabinet move to approve the new National Telecom Policy on Thursday, the government intends to empowerIndiawith a stable telecom infrastructure. But what does the enterprise gain from this new policy announcement? We asked Katyayan Gupta, Telecom Analyst and Connectivity Lead, Forrester, on his analysis on this new development.
How has the new policy changed from the draft National Telecom Policy 2011?
The government has gone a step further and established a pro-future policy with the announcement of the unified licensing regime.
Earlier, spectrum used to come bundled with the purchase of a license. So, for example, with the purchase of a license, an operator could get 5 Mhz of spectrum. With the introduction of the new telecom policy, a telecom company can buy a license and use it to roll out services in any part of the country, but now they would have to shell out extra for buying the spectrum.
Secondly, earlier, the government defined the technology, the service (voice, data, or video) provided in a particular spectrum. But making the spectrum technology-agnostic gives more power to the operator. Now an operator can pick the spectrum and decide the technology they wish to implement in order to provide the service without being regulated by the government.
Which of the key points highlighted in the new Telecom Policy are likely to impact the Indian enterprise? How?
As a telecom enterprise, an operator now does not require 22 licenses in 22 different circles. They can buy a single license as well as spectrum to deploy their services in a technology of the operator’s choice. Also at the service level, an operator can resell its licenses to a third-party operator which will further provide service to its consumers. It transforms into a positive advantage for the operators.
As any other enterprise, the increase in the minimum broadband speed from 512 kbps to 2 Mbps by 2015 will eventually result in faster access to data and increase in productivity.
How do you think the policy will impact the consumerization drive that’s doing the rounds in the Indian enterprise space?
I don’t see a direct enterprise impact. But with VoIP will allow more flexibility and new competition to emerge. With the new policy in place, the government will allow VoIP calls between computers within the country's borders and between a computer inIndiaand a telephone (fixed or wireless) outsideIndia.
This, in turn, will allow many enterprises to alter their BYT policies. This will allow a lot of enterprises to support their employees’ phones and, in turn, save company cost.
