Rumors have been floating around that the iPhone 5′s battery manufacturer is having issues with producing enough batteries that meet Apple’s exacting standards. According to a report from T3, the iPhone Accessories manufacturer has not even completed half of the order request with just a few months to go before the release:
“According to Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White, the unnamed manufacturer has only fulfilled 30 per cent of the orders placed by Apple, which is worryingly low considering the iPhone 5 is expected to land either in September or October, rumours suggest.”The iPhone 5 is rumored to feature a radically revamped design that people are expecting to be longer and thinner to accommodate a bigger screen and be able to compete with other smartphones, specifically the ones running Android OS, that have been steadily grabbing more of the market’s attention. This new design may mean that it will have a new, thinner battery as well that may be more difficult to produce.
The good news though is that these issues involving the battery for the iPhone 5 are not expected to delay the iPhone’s release. According to White, he believes that iPhone Accessories will be able to figure out a solution in time for a September launch. Other analysts have echoed this and Neil Hughes from Apple Insider has shared that the battery manufacturer  is already “working to solve the problem.”
Rumors suggest that eager consumers can expect the iPhone 5 to become available sometime later this year. Analysts can’t seem to agree on a date though, with some saying that White’s prediction of a September release being “too early” and that it would be more realistic to expect Apple to wait at least a year from their last iPhone launch before unveiling a new handset.

While there are some awesome iPhone accessories that make our daily lives easier, some are just the worst, to borrow a saying from Tina Fey.The most recent completely unnecessary iPhone accessory to hit the market is the iPhone bugle horn. The accessory attaches to the bottom of the iPhone and projects music through the bugle-horn-shaped plastic speaker. As seen in the video above, the horn does little to pump up the volume, in comparison with the sound emitted from the iPhone’s built-in speakers. Instead, the accessory, which comes in black or white, appears to be built more for aesthetic purposes than bass-blasting speaker quality.
The bugle horn is merely the latest in a long line of wacky accessory ideas ready-made for the newest version of the iPhone. Last month, we reviewed a “playa case” that can discreetly hide condoms. Another favorite for accessories for iPad suppliers who need to crack a beer on the go: the iPhone bottle opener (alternately, you could just use an iPad charger).Believe it or not, the bugle speaker is not even the first horn accessory for the iPhone — remember the horn stand?

Qualcomm’s whipped out some flipping great wadges of iPhone Accessories in order to snap up Pixtronix for its PerfectLight MEMS-based display tech. It reportedly cost between $175 – $200 million and is expected to be merged into the company’s super-low power Mirasol-based displays. Compared to the Kyobo eReader we played with at CES, PerfectLight has a wider viewing angle (170 degree), supports full speed video playback and much better RGB modulation. Depending on how successful the marriage is, it could spell the end of the final hurdles that have hampered the widespread adoption of the technology.
