Rumor 3: iPhone 5 is very much a possibility at launch as well. Looking at iPhone 5 cases and estimating the next iPhone’s hardware through the case design, there’s a good chance that we will see a bigger, faster iPhone 5 during Apple event.

Rumor 4: There are couple of rumors regarding the possibility of contract-free iPhone, that is, iPhone with pre-paid plans, which is quite prevalent in Asian countries. This rumor stands in strong support of early rumor of cheaper iPhone as cheaper, contract-free iPhone is what Apple might be aiming to sell in developing markets.

Rumor 5: The latest of the rumors is the weirdest of all. According to some sources, the next iPhone is going to be an exclusive phone to Sprint customers. In other words, the next iPhone will be exclusively sold at a subsidized price with a binding contract with Sprint. For this exclusivity deal, Sprint will be shelling out a sum of $20 Billion and make Apple richer than the richest, which it already is.
