A recent fluctuation in betting odds has suggested that the Apple iPhone 5 could have a September release date and come with a curved screen. The bookmakers sent us an email last week and has since confirmed with us that significant betting has meant they have slashed the odds of the iPhone 5 coming out in September 2011.
Paddy Power explained that prior to this erratic amount of ‘betting activity’ odds for September were set at 9/2, since then they have been changed to 9/4 which is still pretty decent odds.
Ken Roberton, a technology betting expert explained “While little was disclosed about iPhone 5 during last week’s iCloud launch[during Apple’s WWDC keynote], our customers seem to be reading between the lines and now seem certain that a Fall launch is on the cards for Apple.”
The likelihood that the iPhone 5 will come with a curved screen, similar to the HTC Sensation has also caused subtle changes at Paddy Power. Before the WWDC keynote odds were set at 6/4 but after these changed to 4/5 which in betting terms makes it a certainty – I wonder where these people are getting their info from?
These changes just go to show people really can’t wait for the Apple iPhone 5 release date, their betting habits have probably been influenced by the iOS release date which has been announced to for autumn 2011. Many feel that the iPhone 5 will either come out before this event (September) or alongside iOS 5 later in the ‘Fall’.
Have you been tempted to put some money on the iPhone 5 release date and are you eagerly waiting for it?
I wander too were they're getting their info from?? Hopefully there right but I dont wanna get my hopes up so ima just gonna keep thing the iPhone 5 will come out later this fall rather then at the beginning.
Keep up the good work though on keeping us inform.
Wonder what it would look like with curved glass screen
