Due to its cooperation with Apple for iPhone 4, Pegatron, in 2010, significantly expanded its plants, human power and equipment aiming satisfy the orders for 10 million CDMA iPhone 4s; however, since the Apple's CDMA iPhone 4 sales were lower than expected in the first quarter of 2011, Pegatron shipped less than four million CDMA iPhone 4s, causing the company's utilization rate to drop to only 50% with its gross margin also drop to 1.8% in the quarter.

So because of the last part of this article I'm lead to believe that the iPhone 5 is really going to be just a glorified iPhone 4, or as some are saying the iPhone 4S. If apple doesn't do something drastic like some rumors have said it will, android here I come.
