iPhone 5 Prototype

We actually haven’t seen too many “leaked photos” of Apple’s next smartphone over the last few weeks. We’ve seen some really cool concepts of what the device might look like, but nothing claiming to be the actual device.

Today, 9to5Mac passes along this photo, of what appears to be the next iPhone, that has been circling the gadget blogs this morning. Though the photo doesn’t offer much information regarding the design of the device, the mysterious gadget does seem to be running a version of iOS…

Prototype iPhone 5

Apple has to wonder if it's really hiring the cream of the crop when another of its employees manages to leave a another prototype iPhone in a bar.

Yes, in a story we've all heard before, some hipster from Apple went out on the town with the prototype, presumably under the guise of some sort of testing, and then accidentally left it behind, CNET reported.

iPhone 5? iOS 5?

At 1pm EST today, Apple will hold a press event that, if Apple’s soaring, unalloyed performance is anything to go by, and in the words of the master himself, will change everything. The problem is, no one really knows what will be announced today; we know it’s iPhone-related, we know that it will be Tim Cook’s first keynote delivery since Steve Jobs’ departure… and that’s it.

Android, iPhone top BlackBerry

Question: I'm a longtime BlackBerry user, but I'm not thrilled with how the service is going. I want to replace my BlackBerry. Can you tell me what other smartphones are close to it?
Answer: Most other smartphones are well ahead of their BlackBerry counterparts. Really, your options come down to two alternatives. You can get an iPhone, which is easy to use and runs more apps than a BlackBerry. The only potential drawback is the lack of a physical keyboard. I know that's a must-have for many BlackBerry users. In that case, you'll need to go with an Android phone. Android phones come in all hardware shapes and sizes. Some, like the Droid 3, have physical keyboards.

5 iPhone and iPad Apps That Make Great Gifts

Did you wait until the last minute again this year? If you need to find a present fast, just gift an iPhone or iPad app. There's an app for everyone on the Apple App Store. Of course, you don't want to give someone a cheap $.99 app.

So here are some ideas for quality-and pricey-apps:

iPhone 5 Display Rumors

Guess what? Those rumors about the iPhone 5 having a 4-inch display: they’re still around, despite the surprise of the iPhone 4S. And with that latest advance unveiled, attention is turning to Apple’s next generation iPad.

Redesigned iPhone 5

Gene Munster expects a redesigned iPhone 5 to totally drive Apple’s growth, according to a new research note from the Piper Jaffray analyst who believes an "iPhone 5" in 2012 will set the stage for outperformance in 2013.

Quoted in an AppleInsider piece, Munster reportedly said he believes significant changes will arrive in 2012 because Apple did not introduce a major iPhone redesign this year.

iphone 5 Release Date Sprint

AT&T’s CEO seems confident that Sprint gaining the iPhone 5 will not change much when it comes to the company's place in the competitive market.

“Anytime there’s another competitor launching Apple’s hit device, the expectations for what would happen to the carrier that had it before is overblown,” said Randall Stephenson AT&T’s CEO at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference. “The competitive dynamic will be no different than last time.”

iPhone 5 Release in USA

The rumors on iPhone 5 have been around for a while, but the most important thing is iphone 5 price in USA. USA is the major target market of iPhone and all people will definitely want a unit of iPhone 5, but of course, iphone 5 price in USA becomes the major consideration. From the history, Apple has an experience on serving cheaper price for the newer iPhone generation, but even though there is no announcement from Apple yet, but it is impossible for iPhone 5 to get cheaper price than iPhone 4. With all the rumored brand new high-end features, the price of iPhone 5 might even be more expensive than iPhone 3 and 4 on their first release, but of course, it is just a prediction, we’ll never know what Apple serves us on the launching date on October.

Apple iPhone 5 Launch

Apple last week officially invited members of the media to the event on October 4 when the iPhone 5 announcement is expected. The invite simply says "Let's talk iPhone", along with four iOS icons depicting the date, time and location of the venue.

We're also expecting Apple to announce the iOS 5 operating system, which includes several improvements to Mail and Safari, a notification centre similar to Android's, Twitter integration and iMessage, an instant messaging platform for iOS devices. iCloud, Apple's cloud storage solution is also integrated in iOS 5, so you can re-download purchased music, apps or books to any of your devices or computer, while the master copy resides with Apple. 

When Will iphone 5 Release

Now that apple has finally released iphone 4 after about six months delay all attention should now focus on the proposed delivery of white iphone 5 to make sure that it did not encounter the same technical hitches which the predecessor iphone 4 encountered. The delay in the release of iphone six months after it was launched in the market does reflect the status of the apple phone which we know for quality and prompt service delivery. It is understandable their desire to put things in order by releasing the white iphone 5 to make for the observed shortcoming of the latest release.

iPhone 5 Steve Jobs

As far as Smartphone rumors go, the world has really seen very few that can compare with the ferocity or tenacity of those regarding the iPhone 5 from Apple. Speculation and educated guesswork is one thing, but what makes the iPhone 5 rumor-mill so incredibly captivating is the suggestion that the fabled device has in fact existed for quite some time, but for one reason or another has yet to be unleashed upon the world.

According to key sources, plans regarding the iPhone 5 were shelved just a few short weeks before it was due to launch, following intervention from Steve Jobs himself. Apparently, Jobs was not happy with the way the new, larger screen somewhat fragmented the iPhone line.

Shame, as the other specs were said to be truly staggering – including a colored aluminum case housing a faster processor, larger storage capacity and an epic 10 megapixel camera.

Needless to say, with talk of a 4 inch screen toting 4G LTE iPhone 5, an iPad Mini and the iPad 3 all arriving in 2012, those with the patience to hold out a little longer look set to be rewarded richly indeed.

iPhone 5 Release Date News

This might not sound like a new piece of information, but the reason we decided to pick this news up was because of the source: The New York Times, according to which a “fairly different” iPhone 5 is “just weeks away” from release.

    We’re just weeks away from the announcement of the new Apple iPhone 5, according to an Apple employee who asked not to be named because he was not allowed to speak publicly for the company.

    .. an engineer familiar with the new iPhone said it would be fairly different from the iPhone 4 — including on the inside.

    The new iPhone will come with an eight-megapixel camera, this person said, an upgrade from the five-megapixel camera in the iPhone 4.

Another report from 9to5Mac claims that there are indeed going to be two different iPhones launched next month. There will be an “iPhone 4 look-alike” which is expected to, well, look like the iPhone 4, but potentially have dumbed down specs to keep the price low. This low-end iPhone is in full production and Apple is reportedly going to launch it on October 7th with 10+ million units in hand. It will be aggressively priced and “be everywhere”.
