Multiple obstacles have folks believing that we won't see a 4G product from Apple until next year. Is it still possible that Apple will unveil a 4G iPhone this Fall?
As we get closer to the iPhone 5's release in September/October, expect part leaks to start flying off supply chains overseas. This report is no exception, with an overseas iPhone parts supplier called TVC Mall leaking several alleged components of the iPhone 5.
A total of 5 parts have been leaked, including the iPhone 5's battery, rear camera lens and headphone/earphone audio flex cable...

If you've had an iPhone (or any smartphone) over the last few years, chances are you've seen Caller ID spoofing. Basically, it's an app that will change your outbound Caller ID information when making a phone call.
But most of the apps for the iPhone are sketchy, and usually require money after the first few calls. Luckily, infamous jailbreak developer moeseth has created a similar tweak to help feed your inner prankster...

We love taking photos with our iPhones here at iDB. Like just about everyone else, we're already addicted to photo-sharing apps like Instagram and Photovine.
Even though iOS 5 will bring the ability to take photos using the iPhone's volume up button, we're still of the age where we remember the good old polaroids with their huge shutter button, and we have to admit, we do miss it.
