Apple A5 chip overheating might be delaying the iPhone 5 launch

15 July, 2011
Here we have another interesting theory on what might be preventing Apple from releasing the next iPhone yet. The latest bit of online gossip has it that the problem lies within the dual-core Apple A5 chip..

Im wondering why the A5 is over heating and the Exynos is doing fine, I mean the Exynos is even more powerful @ 1.2Ghz than the A5 at 900Mhz (Ipad2 reference )

      "which is causing the smartphone to overheat."

      Iphones are not considered a smart phone, not even remotely yet.

            Ok so here is what late 2011 holds for us.

            Samsung will buy over Apple after Iphone5 is released and fails big time, then 2012 all Apple fans will find out how phones really should be made and what they have been missing all these years being brainwashed by Apply

            Enjoy 2012

              every issue has its solution... i'm a die hard fun of apple... i know apple could find ways to solve this, adding a cooling system would be great and not a fan. just take your time, the dual core processor is probably an exciting one. i would say it will defeat other brands running on dual processor. though pric might be expensive but i think it's worth it...

                    If the new iphone will be heating, I think I'm going to stick to my beloved Ercisson T28, which works all over the world.

Well, I'm basing this on the available rumors, though the SGSII's battery would give much possibility for the iPhone 5 to have a smaller and eduring battery. Let's just wait for any news about this overheating problem.

                                      2. It also depend on what type of battery it will be Li-Po or Li-Ion.
                                      3. For example Samsung Galaxy S II is thin and has 1650 mAh (> 1420mAh) battery.
