“Apple Inc. is getting closer to launching its next iPhone,” Lorraine Luk and Yukari Iwatani Kane report for The Wall Street Journal. “Apple has ordered key components for a new iPhone it is aiming to launch by the end of September, said people familiar with the situation.”
“These people said the new iPhone is expected to be similar to the current iPhone 4, but thinner and lighter with an improved eight-megapixel camera,” Luk and Kane report. “A person briefed on Apple’s product plans said the company initially planned to launch its next iPhone this summer as it usually does, but the device wasn’t ready in time.”
