ILounge revives rumors for 2012: iPhone 5, iPad 3 and MacBook Pro

A little early for iPhone rumors thoughl’iPhone 4Shas just been
marketed and that at best we will not see an iPhone 5 before June or July
next, but the siteiLoungegives us a group shot
coming from its sources described as "the most reliable".

He tells us about Apple's plans for next year regarding its
major products: iPad, iPhone and MacBook:

  • Thenext iPhonewould ultimately not resemble the
    models that can be guessed viathe many cases
    produced in China before the release of the iPhone 4S
    namely this famous
    Very thin "iPhone" with a profile that becomes thinner at the bottom. On the other hand he would have
    a 4-inch screen (compared to 3.7 currently), would beplus long
    the 8 mm
    and would adopt ametal back(l’aluminium
    seems the best candidate according to iLounge). The machine would still be in phase
    development, not in production and would be released (Editor's note: if the sources
    are reliable AND everything is fine) before summer. iLounge specifies that according to them the
    planned model would have been rejected due to too little autonomy, the
    next models to adapt to the consumption of telephone chips
    LTE (4G)
  • L’iPad 3
    could give it a little extra thickness because of a double
    backlight row related to the increase in resolution. The site is moving forward
    that it would be planned for March and could be shown as early as January. Editor’s note:
    On this, we can only be doubtful... in fact, last year Apple did not
    not presented its iPad 2 several months before its release(that
    slows down sales) and only does so very exceptionally rather
    the occasion of the release of a new product: iPhone in 2007, iPad 1 in
    2009. Note that signals from Asia concerning
    the production of an iPad 3 also arrived recently as we could see
    see here
    .
  • Finally, iLounge tells us again about a rumor that we did not relay because we do not
    does not specifically cover Macs on iPhon.fr, but this is the opportunity, it
    This would be a redesign of the MacBook Pro range which would become thinner in 2012. We
    of course think of a 15-inch MacBook Air which would replace a
    15-inch MacBook Pro.

This of course remains hypotheses and 2012 will of course bring its share
new stuff, but we'll talk about it again but in the meantime we continue to enjoy
new thingsconcreteincluding iOS 5 withmany practical articles seen here(and others to
come) as well asthe Siri assistant mentioned in these
articles
or even theiPhone 4S!
