Rumors of a next-gen iPhone have been ongoing. Now, at the beginning of September, we can stand here and say with almost full certainty that an iPhone 5 release is imminent.

As Japanese blog Macotakara reports, Chinese manufacturers Foxconn and Pegatron are currently in full flow as they strive to meet the order demands set upon them by Apple.
