An iPhone 5 rumor of a summer 2012 release by Apple has circulated over the internet, according to reports by several international news sites.

Reports say that the iPhone 5 rumor was started by a blog site who claimed to have gotten the information from an anonymous insider at Foxconn in China. Based on a published article by Apple Intelligence at 9to5mac.com, a blog about Apple products, iPhone 5 “is now gearing for production.”
