Apple are currently making 4.5 million iPhones a month so If calculations are correct Apple will of made 18 Million iPhone’s by the end of the year! It’s not sure at this stage if the phone being produced by Apple are the iPhone 5 or the rumoured cheaper model people are calling the “iPhone 4S”.

Hopefully Foxconn has got over its recent problems, with accusations of poor work conditions, health hazards and an explosion on the iPad 2 assembly line that killed three workers.

Normally Apple release a new iPhone ever June, however I can’t help thinking they are releasing the phone later to increase sales of the existing iPhone 4. Apple seem to be focusing more on their software sales, announcing iOS 5, iCloud and Lion the last version of OSX, but not even a whisper of the iPhone 5 release date!

The suspense is almost killing us here when will Apple finally put us and every Apple fan out of their misery and let us know when we will all be queuing up outside our local Apple stores for the latest shiny bit of Apple hardware
