The leaked details of the fifth generation of iPhone just kept flowing over the last couple of weeks.
It’s true, no one knows how Apple will name their new product, as both iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S are plausible solutions, but at least we find interesting details of this phone every day.
Yesterday we showed you some pictures of an Apple employee holding an iPhone 5 in his hands. Well, that what we believe it was, because the device was not looking like any other product in Apple’s line-up.
Although a possible iPhone 5 official launch is more than one month away, it seems that next generation of Apple’s smartphone was already listed in the databases of some mobile carriers in Europe and Korea.
The above picture presents the records from KT (Korea Telecom) system, and you we were able to see the iPhone 5 entry, with the code name of AIP5.
Last year, in the Korean carrier’s data base, the iPhone 4 device was listed using the AIP4 codename, and this year we see an AIP5 entry in their database, but this is doesn’t mean that KT will launch the new iPhone in the same time with the other countries.
Last year KT received the iPhone 4 a few months away from the US launch, on Sepember 10. The interesting fact is that although the iPhone 4 was released in South Korea almost three months after the US debut, this year KT is among the first carriers to introduce the device in their database.
Some European carriers, from countries like Germany, Great Britain and France are also listing the new iPhone 5 in their databases, so the chances to see the new Apple device in the first half of September have significantly increased.
If this rumor is true and those records are really about iPhone 5, then the Apple smartphone would only be available in 16GB and 32GB versions, so the iPhone enthusiasts expecting a 64GB version would be disappointed.
Anyway it’s nothing unusual for the carriers to start listing the iPhone 5 in their system, but one thing we should keep in mind is that the database entries are preliminary and it might be proven that they have nothing to do with facts.
