The invitations that were sent out reportedly don&rsquo;t specify exactly what is being announced, but the words &ldquo;let&rsquo;s talk phone&rdquo; appear on them, which is more than a subtle hint that we are probably looking at a new phone announcement.<\/p>\n<p>The rumour mill is currently rife with speculation regarding a next generation iPhone, which many are expecting to be out as early as October.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitimes.com\/news\/a20110704PD216.html\" target=\"_blank\">Digitimes<\/a> reported a few months ago that component maker Pegatron had received an order to manufacture 15 million iPhone 5 units. The phones were apparently supposed to start shipping this month.<\/p>\n<p>Other sources claimed that the iPhone 5 does not have any major updates over the iPhone 4, and we may see an iPhone 4S announced instead. Reported updates include a faster A5 processor and an eight megapixel camera, which would be quite a step up from the iPhone 4&rsquo;s 5 megapixel camera.<\/p>\n<p>The phone will also run iOS 5, which is expected to improve messaging and photo-sharing features.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Apple_iPhone_event_October_2011_388061253.png\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/18228-New-iPhone-probably-being-announced-next-week\" target=\"_self\" title=\"New iPhone to be announced next week, probably\"><strong>New iPhone to be announced next week, probably<\/strong><\/a> &lt;&lt; Comments and views<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple announces media briefing, &quot;let&#039;s talk phone&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14306\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
