Tech website AppleInsider reported that's a Foxconn recruiter said that Apple's iPhone 5 will be released in June.

Foxconn is the largest manufacturing partner of Apple that is based in China. According to the report, the source said the probable release of the upcoming generation of iPhone during a program on TV Tokyo's "World Business Satellite" show. There is a footage taken from the Foxconn's recruitment office where the interview was conducted.

Foxconn is looking to hire more employees this month to work on the production line including some of the parts that will be used in the new iPhone. The interviewer asked the Foxconn recruiter how many employees the factory is looking to hire. The recruiter answered that Foxconn is looking for 18,000 more employees to work on the fifth generation of iPhone. This is followed with a statement that the factory is in need of more employees due to the overwhelming demand for iPhone 5 and because it will come out in June.

The recruiter used the terms "iPhone 5" and "fifth generation iPhone" during the courses of the interview. However, technically, iPhone 5 is the sixth generation iPhone. But just the fact that the recruiter said that it will be coming out in June highly suggests that the recruiter means the sixth generation iPhone.

The new iPhone and iPhone 5 are some of the monikers that are prevalent as to the namesake for the new iOS device. However, a lot of people are skeptical that the Cupertino-based company will be launching another version of iPhone less than a year since the release of iPhone 4S, which is still making immense sales. Moreover, the source is not that credible.

According to the rumors, iPhone 5 will be released in the fall of 2012, which will sport the same screen size; support 4G LTE like the new iPad 3 and will come with a new micro dock connector.

As usual, there is no confirmation from Apple as to when they plan to release the highly-anticipated iPhone 5.
