The height of excitement for the iPhone is rising day by day. Not only the fans of Apple are included in the list, all carriers around the world are also included in the list. The fans are desperately waiting for the iPhone 5, where as carriers have started to stock in Nano SIM Cards for the iPhone 5. Until now no confirmation has been done on the Nano SIM Card Technology coming to the iPhone 5, everything is being done on the preceding leaks and rumors. All the companies making products on rumored and leaked parts are playing a blind game of poker for the time being.

However, today a global logistics company also joined the height of excitement. The company got so excited that it sent out a letter to its employees to brace themselves for an upcoming “Surge Volume” event from September 21-24. The company is called FedEx. FedEx issued issues a note to its employees to brace themselves for these three days because of something huge is going to be done. Amazingly, the dates of September 21 accords to iPhone 5 rumored launch date for particular countries.

The note attained by Macrumors states:

As noted on the above note, FedEx has limited the traveling of their employees and have cancelled the holidays of the Employees on the above-mentioned dates starting from September 21-24. FedEx wants every single employee to be available on the spot for huge shipments of the upcoming iPhone 5 in U.S.A and in some other countries. In general, Apple uses FedEx at large for its major shipment of different products. If the orders are over loaded, Apple sometime uses U.P.S to deliver the products. Therefore, the main logistics partner of Apple is FedEx and the second one is U.P.S.

We are only few days away from the official iPhone 5 announcement. Apple has played its move by inviting selected media personals to come and join the upcoming iPhone event on September 4.

Soon after Apple issued iPhone 5 release Media Invites, the carriers and rumors gained some heat. The carriers started to stock Nano SIM Cards with them and rumors emerged with more new leaks. Until the Media Event wasn’t confirmed, every one was staying up to date with alleged rumors and leaked parts of the iPhone 5. Following the same rumors and leaks, different carriers started to predict the Nano SIM Card technology in the upcoming iPhone 5 and they started to stock the Nano SIM Cards with them to overcome any issue at the time of release.

When the iPhone 5 Media Event was officially announced by Apple, more carriers joined hands with other carriers to stock the Nano SIM Cards with them. At first we reported about the Danish Telecoms who started to stock in the iPhone 5 Nano SIM Cards, then Telekom Germany started to stock Nano SIM Cards soon after the official Media Invite was issued.

Following the footsteps of Telekom Germany, o2 Germany started to send out E-Mail invites to their customers to signup for 5-series coming soon on their network. In order to stay up to date with that 5-series smart phone, the person needs to sign up for the newsletter.

However, the iPhone 5 Release date is set for September 21 and the unveiling would be done on September 12.

Few days before the official launch of iPhone 5, we are hearing news about a new codename “N42” Model arriving on the Media Event. The codename “N42” is nothing tricky or any new iPhone 6 or iPhone Mini, indeed it is the same name of the iPhone 5 but with a different Model. Before the iPhone 5 could surface on the Internet, Apple was playing with two different models of iPhone 5 internally. The first model was called “N41” and the second one is called “N42”. These both were planned for the iPhone 5 with un-identical features.

If we recall the preceding month of August, we told you about two different code-names were leaked in a Server Log proclaiming (iPhone 5,1 (N41) and iPhone 5,2(N42)). At that time, it was indefinable which device would go into production. Will the iPhone 5,1 go into production of iPhone 5,2 would go into production. For the time being, it was believed that Apple might be testing these two builds internally to see, which one fits better and can be released this fall.

However, no conclusion was made until now. Today, 9to5mac reported about the codename (N42) build would be releasing this fall on Apple’s Media Event. The N42 build would carry the same purported resolution of 1136X640 with automatic scaling feature in iOS 6 to fit on the larger display of 4-incheasily. Rest everything is the same as shown in the leaked parts with the passage of time. The only difference between these two builds is of NFC. Apple is not going to introduce NFC Technology in iPhone 5 this year. This is why codename (N41) is left in dark. It was believed that (N41) would be carrying NFC Technology. Unfortunately, Apple has no plans for the NFC Technology so far.

On the other hand, Apple has planned to keep the iPhone 5 at the same conventional pricing as of iPhone 4S and preceding iPhone’s pricing.

N42A-USA-$199, 

N42B-USA-$199, 

N42A-USA-$299, 

N42B-USA-$299, 

N42A-USA-$399,

 N42B-USA-$399.

Over here, A is for black and B is for White respectively.

The prices stated above are of on-contract. The prices without contract might remain the same starting from $649, $749, and $849 respectively.

To sum up the things, Apple will announce an iPhone 5 (N42) on September 12 with iOS 6 and a fully redesigned model with headphone jack placed at the bottom.

China is moving advanced ahead of the iPhone 5 launch. It seems that China is more excited to see the iPhone 5 before it is unveiled. Therefore, every leak comes from China. At first, the iPhone 5 Mockup surfaced from China and then every hardware parts were leaked from China. No doubt, the iPhone’s are made assembled in China and designed in California. Following the tradition, this year the iPhone 5 would be made in China by Foxconn. As the iPhone 5 launch is coming near by, the accessories of the alleged iPhone 5 have started to leak one after another. Until now, no prominent iPhone 5 design has become known. We have seen the alleged leaked design that has being rolling out on the Internet from preceding months.

Unfortunately, the case manufacturers are using the same alleged design of the iPhone 5 based on unproven confirmation’s. At the same time, the case manufacturers in China are overwhelming the Chinese Mobile accessories market with iPhone 5 bumper and cases made on the supposed mockups. Today, MIC Gadget got their hands on some of good-looking iPhone 5 bumper and cases to show how they look and fit on the iPhone 5 mockups. They bought cheap iPhone 5 mockups to see how the bumper and cases fit on the iPhone 5.

As you can see in the first picture, there are tons of iPhone 5 cases lined up by MIC Gadget. The cases are available in different verities and colors.

In the second picture above, you can clearly see how the bumper case fits in the iPhone 5 mockup perfectly and it is purely made for the iPhone 5. The rumored allocated headphone jack at bottom and large speaker grill is looking good in the above bumper case.

A part from the bumper and cases, iPhone 5 screen protectors were also spotted in the wild.

However, the iPhone 5 bumper and case manufacturers are their self not sure if the iPhone 5 would look the same or will be changed. Last year, before the announcement of iPhone 4S, it was highly expected that Apple would announce an iPhone 5. Unfortunately, Apple didn’t announce a new designed iPhone 5 and case manufacturers who did same type of work were in cavernous shit. They had to bear a huge loss because of making alleged cases for the iPhone and putting them on sale. Last year, there were not many leaks as they are done in the matter of iPhone 5.

The iPhone 4S leaks were not that much as compared to iPhone 5. Therefore, we can expect the case manufacturers to be on safe side in the matter of iPhone 5 bumper and cases.

Over here you can see the full gallery of iPhone 5 bumper and cases in different varieties.

The iPhone 5 Media Event would take place on September 12.
