In what is a rather strong indicator that Apple is indeed set to unveil its next-generation iPhone in September, European carrier Deutsche Telekom, parent company of T-Mobile, is now offering pre-order tickets for the so-called “iPhone 5″ smartphone. Deutsche Telekom is located in Germany and appears to be the first European carrier to offer this pre-order process, although many other providers such as Vodafone usually follow pace soon after.
The sixth-generation iPhone is rumored to feature an aluminum unibody chassis, smaller 8-pin, 9-pin or 19-pin dock connector, centered FaceTime camera, redesigned speaker grills and a headphone jack relocated to the bottom of the handset. Moreover, it is also widely expected that Apple’s next iPhone will be compatible with LTE networks and could feature NFC for mobile payments.
