iPhone 5 Is

Foxconn, who will be handling 85% of the iPhone 5 production demands, is reporting that their warehouses are operating at full swing and over 150,000 iPhone 5 units are being produced each day.

Supporting manufacturer Largan Precision, who’s handling the lens manufacturing, touch panel and reinforced G-Tech Optoelectronics, and battery producer, is also reporting their warehouses are operating at full capacity.

Yes boys and girls, this means the iPhone 5 is coming… and soon.

Pegatron Technology, who will be handling the other 15% of iPhone 5 production needs, is reporting they will not begin shipping iPhone 5′s until 2012.

Everyone is trying to get ready, as much as possible for the pending iPhone 5 launch.  In fact, German phone carrier Deutsche Telekim is currently taking pre-orders for the iPhone 5, and this is before the official name of the device has even been released.

And stores such as Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon are establishing “black out dates” – dates where store employees are not allowed to take any vacation or other time off in preparation for a “big event”.

iPhone 5 search volume indicates an explosion

I put together some iPhone 5 search data a couple of days ago that shows Google search volume for the iPhone 5 is already exceeding the iPhone 4, even pre-launch iPhone 4 period.  And the search graph for the iPhone 5 continues to escalate at a very steep vertical.

So the question is – will you standing in line at one of the retailers waiting for your chance to get an iPhone 5?

There is so much talk out there about “iPhone killers”.  Like there’s any Android smartphone that has come anywhere close to selling on the level of an iPhone.

Nonetheless, Samsung thinks it has what it takes to actually divert sales and attention from the upcoming iPhone 5.  Today, Walmart started taking pre-orders on the Samsung Galaxy S2 which Samsung is selling for only $99.

So let me ask you – did you even notice that the Galaxy S2 was released today and taking pre orders?  Probably not.

And truth be told, only a small fraction of smartphone users took notice of the pre-sale launch at Walmart.

Compare this to the iPhone 5 and it’s laughable.

Every major news publication and tech blog talks about the iPhone 5 continually.  The smallest hint of a leaked photo, or rumor, or sighting of the missing iPhone 5 has the media in a frenzy and web lights up with chatter globally.

Who’s talking about the Galaxy S2 today, besides me on this blog?

The iPhone 5 is coming, and it won’t be the slightest bit affected by the Galaxy S2 launching at Walmart today.
