Don’t Get Me Wrong, I Love The iPhone series, and will LOVE the iPhone 5

but I think it’s time that the media (myself included I guess) stopped making this release into such a huge deal. I mean, come on! There have been no less than 1,000 different news sources in that past 3 days with their various speculations as to the release of the iPhone 5. If Apple was smart, they would push back this release for as long as they can control it. In August, the date was set for September sometime, now that we are almost through September people are speculating that the newest iPhone will be announced on September 5th. Get it? iPhone 5 announced on the 5th… that’s the best we can come up with?
I mean, let’s at least get creative? Most other people are projecting September 4th… wow… big leap there. That’s kinda like playing on the safe side, cause now… if you’re wrong, you can say that it was a time zone thing right? Look, I’m not knocking anyone for guessing, but let’s face it. Apple WANTS this hype… Let me show you something.

For those of you that aren’t quite sure what this illustrates, I’ll explain… This is a chart of Apples stock prices for the past FIVE years. Now is when you say “Man, I wish I had a time machine and could be some shared back in late 2006″. Stock prices for Apple have NEVER been higher than they are right now, and that’s during a really hard time for the financial sector. Now, I’ll show you one more that should solidify my point as to why, if I was Apple, I wouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to release this new phone.
