The iPhone 5 could be coming out at a good time for Apple, which has faced increasing pressure from Samsung and other smartphone manufacturer rivals. The Samsung Galaxy S2 phone came out in late April and since then, Samsung says they have sold three million of them.
The S2 has become Samsung's main weapon in attempting to gain share from Apple in the smartphone war. It is a dual-core smartphone with a Super AMOLED Plus screen with the Google Android 2.3 operating system. The phone has done well despite not launching in the U.S., which it is rumored to do this upcoming summer.
Samsung may get an additional boost in the U.S. according to a recent rumor, which states the Galaxy S2 may be coming to Windows Phone 7 on top of Android.
Apple and Samsung have been getting into battles on and off the smartphone playing field. On top of their usual smartphone competition, the two companies have recently been dealing with each other in court over patents and lawsuits.
