“Google brings forward new Android version because of iPhone 5”

According to rumors, Google wants to accelerate its upcoming Android version. The reason would be that the company can compete better with Apple, which could come up with a new iPhone in the coming month.

That leaves unnamed sources know to Boy Genius Report. The first Android devices with the unreleased Ice Cream Sandwich version should appear in October. With this, Google wants to offer an attractive alternative to the iPhone 5, which is expected in September or October. Due to the accelerated release, the internet giant would mainly like to attract consumers who will take out a new subscription in September or October and can choose a telephone.

Android Ice Cream Sandwich must unite the current smartphone version Gingerbread and tablet version Honeycomb, creating one Android variant for mobile devices. Furthermore, it is not yet known which new features Google will put in Ice Cream Sandwich, because the internet giant has not yet officially announced the new version.

Apple has not yet announced when it will release a new version of its smartphone, but there have been a lot of rumors about a new iPhone in recent times. In addition to an iPhone 5, a cheaper and faster version of the iPhone 4 would also be released.
