A defect has presented in some iPhone 5 touch panels produced by Wintek which might affect the ability to meet initial shipment targets for the launch which is expected in Octobere defect touch screens with something called a "delayed bubble," difficult to avoid during panel production,

particularly when the defect isn't discovered during the process of laminating touch panels,and only later found during assembly. Since the manufacturing process of touch panels used in iPhone 5 is as same as that for iPhone 4, Wintek is expected to remedy the defect quickly. Wintek will provide 20% - 25% of the touch panels for the iPhone 5, while Taiwan-based TPK holding accounts for 60% - 65% and Chimei Innolux for the balance.

Apple VS Samsung - Real Fight!

No Apple iPhone 5 for South Korean?

Not rumors anymore - The Korea Times reports that Samsung “is seeking a complete ban” on the iPhone 5 sales in Korea – even before the phone is released, not to mention officially announced. Samsung plans to challenge against Apple in court to prevent the latest iPhone handset arriving at South Korean land, according to a Monday report. .“Just after the arrival of the iPhone 5 here, Samsung plans to take Apple to court here for its violation of Samsung’s wireless technology related patents,” said a senior executive from Samsung Electronics.“For as long as Apple doesn't drop mobile telecommunications functions, it would be impossible for it to sell it’s i-branded products without using our patents.

Statistic show’s  local carriers KT and SK Telecom have so far sold about 3.1 million iPhones in the country. The newspaper quotes an unnamed Samsung senior executive:

"Just after the arrival of the iPhone 5 here, Samsung plans to take Apple to court here for its violation of Samsung’s wireless technology related patents. For as long as Apple does not drop mobile telecommunications functions, it would be impossible for it to sell its i-branded products without using our patents. We will stick to a strong stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights". As noted in the report, there are at least 23 lawsuits pending between those two companies worldwide, even as they hold a business relationship covering the sale and delivery of flash memory and microprocessors.

Another unnamed Samsung executive is quoted saying the South Korean company is “quite confident” in its legal position. Until now, Apple has acquired a permanent sales injunction in Germany, with Samsung voluntarily holding off on Australian sales while a judge there waits for more data. Apple has also filed suit in Japan against Samsung. Adding to that “so will other envisioned efforts against such products as the iPhone 5″. The report carries on to mention that iPhone sports an LG Display-made screen, LG Innotek’s 8megapixel camera, Samsung-made NAND flash and A5 chip and an NFC chip for wireless payment.

The twist in this case, of course, is the fact that Apple is Samsung’s biggest customer, buying displays, NAND flash memory and custom-built A4 and A5 chips for its products. It has been reported that Samsung may soon lose its iOS device processor contract as Apple turns to rival TSMC.

iPhone 5 OR iPad Nano?

The rumours about the forthcoming iPhone 5, expected to be announced this month, but seems like Apple's still like to play hide and seek. The iPhone 5 will have a bigger screen, smaller bezel, tablet shaped home button and thinner than the current iPhone. Or perhaps Apple will revamp the iPhone 4 into an iPhone 4S,just like they did with the 3G/3GS. Or maybe they are bringing in an all-new cheap pre-pay iPhone as well as an iPhone 5. It is completely very confusing. What if this rumours are stumping and not a new iPhone 5 but a new Apple iPhone 4S or maybe they're instead mixing up, they turn it into NEW iPAD NANO? Why not? both are using same IOS 5 operating system, both got the same A5 processor. That's mean instead of having iphone and an ipad, how about you get both at a price as ONE!

What if Apple uses the iPad carrier model for the Touch, shipping two versions: Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi+3G? The Wi-Fi model would be just what we have now, only with a four-inch screen and pill-shaped home button, and the Wi-Fi+3G would come with a 3G chipset and GPS. Buyers could opt in and out of monthly data plans just like they do with the iPad Wi-Fi+3G.

What about phone calls? It won’t make them, but I’d expect most customers for the iPad Nano (or iPod Touch 3G, or whatever it’s called) will either already have crappy pre-paid cellphones or be tied into a work-contract phone and not want another monthly bill. Or they barely do not care about phones anymore. But it's crucially to have both FaceTime and iMessage. These are data-only replacements for voice calls, video calls, and texts (SMS). Right now FaceTime doesn’t beat up 3G, but there are reports that this will change in new Apple's iOS 5.

Everybody already knew and even a kids  already opt for BlackBerry’s to use BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) to send and receive free messages. Every parents probably would buy their children a device with a fixed and low bill/month that would cover all communication.  Apple CEO Tim Cook already mentioned pre-pay iPhones, saying that Apple “understood price is big factor in the prepaid market.” It would be a typical Apple move to sidestep the question of pre-pay phones altogether by simply eliminating the need for a phone as we know it. High-volume users of voice will either have to opt for a more expensive monthly plan or switch to a regular phone contract. It's a win - wins situation.

This aticle is completely speculation, for sure. but I have seen and shared the same moon as anyone else.
