iPhone 5: one-third of consumers can not wait

According to the poll-known online resource PriceGrabber, 35% of respondents already going to buy this smartphone.

There is growing more and more messages about the next generation iPhone. At the last conference call on financial performance of Verizon Communication Lowell McAdam, the new CEO, suggested that the smartphone will be available in the next few months. This assumption is consistent with emerging within a month about reports that the iPhone 5 goes on sale in September.

"In my opinion, we are behind by about a quarter to achieve the results that we discussed in January. I think you'll see a jump in profits in the autumn, when finally released iPhone ». According to Lowell MacAdam, Apple did not provide any specific information Verizon, but the leadership of the telecom giant had suggested that the iPhone will be ready to fly: "We felt that the iPhone 5 will appear in early summer, as has happened before, but this time will have to wait ".

On Monday at the site BGR.com was reported, according to which AT & T is also preparing to release the iPhone 5 in September. Site journalist says: "We were told that AT & T is already notify their employees and employees of the retail need for early completion of training. Managers instructed to complete the training that staff were ready for the expected influx of buyers in September. "

In recent years, AT & T employees were forbidden to go on vacation during the launch of sales of new smart phones iPhone. Has not received evidence that this year the company introduced a similar restriction on the period from late August to early September. When and if, on such measures will know, we all understand, in this period and will release a smartphone.

Recently, on the site PriceGrabber study was conducted, whereby 35% of respondents are already planning to buy the iPhone 5. At the same time 51% of them answered that they were going to buy a smartphone in the first year after its release, 30% by the end of 2011, 14% in the first month of sales, and 7% in the first week. Honestly, I was surprised such a low number of people wishing to buy a smartphone in the first week, taking into account what is traditionally accompanied by a stir the first days of sales iPhone.

And what is expected of the new iPhone buyers? They want a more capacious battery (59%) and a lower price (55%). Remarkably, less than half the respondents reported that they had important access to mobile networks 4G-46%, while 45% want the screen is bigger. About 42% said they would like a higher quality camera.

Personally I have no complaints about the iPhone battery capacity 4. It can withstand a day of active use, and it suits me. You can also safely be attributed to me, those who would like a larger screen, as I hope that Apple will increase the screen from 3.5 inches to at least 4. As for the work in the fourth-generation networks, well, I would prefer to have access to them, but I think that without this function, the world will not collapse, especially if the new smartphone will support high-speed packet data on HSPA + technology from the company AT & T. A better camera? Why not. But the opportunity to buy things for less money? I doubt it.

"The data of our study confirm that iPhone smartphone has developed a wide range of regular users: more than a third of iPhone owners are going to buy a newer model, and it's just a year after the iPhone 4" said Graham Jones, General Manager Site PriceGrabber. "Clearly, people are waiting for new items and many people buy phones only one brand, but at this crazy pace of life and economic uncertainty, consumers prefer to choose less expensive, reliable phone with good performance."
