![iPhone Latest: Two Models, Production Delays [RUMOR]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/01RDaYU15tI56SweTTL4DLF/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647020248.jpg)
The iPhone 5 is likely to make its debut in the next few weeks, but could production and design issues make it a difficult device to find?
Apple is expected to hold a press event to unveil its next-generation smartphone in the next few weeks, The New York Times is reporting. This isn't news -- Sprint pretty much gave the date away, canceling store employee vacation for the first two weeks of October.
Meanwhile, 9to5mac's sources say that two Apple phones will be launching in the near future. This fits with the rumor that Apple intends to launch a cheaper iCloud-based iPhone that will include prepaid plans and look similar to the iPhone 4.
The second phone, the iPhone 5, is apparently "a sight to behold" because it is "impossibly light, yet much firmer than Samsung Galaxy phones." We've heard that the new iPhone will sport a wider screen and a curved aluminum back, much like the iPad 2.
