We know that there will be a new iPhone released next month. We know that Apple will probably hold its next announcement on October 4th, followed by availability the following week.
But what do we really know about the upcoming iPhone? 9to5Mac has published everything it has learned about the iPhone 5, including the one feature that will make you want to buy it...
Flat glass panels are so 2011! That's at least what smartphone manufacturers are thinking, according to this article from DigiTimes. It appears that the new trend among smartphone makers is going to be curved glass.
As usual, Apple is ahead of its game as the company reportedly invested in glass-cutting machines earlier this year to equip its reluctant assemblers to invest in this new and unproven technology...
For the last few months, a rumor that Apple would release two devices this year went around, and to be honest, it seemed to make lots of sense. Apple would release a full-featured iPhone, selling it at the normal full price. The company would also release a watered down version of the iPhone 4 aimed at taking a stab at the prepaid market.
I thought this to be highly believable. If you've ever been to Asia or Africa (I have), you'll know that the prepaid market there is gigantic. This is an untapped market for Apple.
So the rumor mill went crazy on this rumor, and everyone, at some point or the other, seemed to agree we'd see two iPhones this year. John Paczkowski of AllThingsD now thinks otherwise...
Remember the lost iPhone prototype? No, not the lost iPhone 4 that infamously went missing in a San Francisco bar, but the other one.
The iPhone 5 prototype that apparently took a walkabout in the Cava 22 bar in San Francisco has caused a bit of a stir. First, the San Francisco Police Department said that it didn't know anything about the situation, and then the SFPD came back with a statement that there was police involvement.
Then came reports that Apple's own security personell may have been impersonating police officers, and now it appears the real SFPD has asked for surveillance footage from the aforementioned bar...
It's patent time again, and the latest discovery by those eagle-eyed patent-watchers at AppleInsider have spied a new application that hints at an improved method of charging and syncing our mobile devices.
The patent, originally filed all the way back in 2001 and recently improved upon, suggests Apple's boffins are keen to reduce the number cables and connectors we use for our mobile devices – that's Macbooks, iPhones, iPads and iPod touches. The old-fashioned click wheel iPods should also be able to get in on the action...
QuickSafari is another Activator-based Google search tool, that allows you to perform searches and browse to specific URLs from anywhere on your iPhone.
It's a great tool, and one that I believe should be included as a native iOS feature. Until then, we'll have to rely on the great jailbreak community to meet our needs in this area, and QuickSafari doesn't disappoint...
The anticipation leading up to Apple's next iPhone announcement has reached a fever pitch. Apple geeks everywhere are more excited than ever about what Apple has in store for its beloved smartphone next month.
Will the next iPhone be the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4S? Will Apple announce the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S at once? Do you plan on upgrading from your current iPhone? These are the questions that are being asked...

I consider myself to be fairly savvy when it comes to iPad accessories and peripherals, especially so when it comes to stands and cases.
I've had stands that have acted as cases, cases that have acted as stands, portable stands, stationary stands, and more. In other words, I've see a lot of good, and I've seen a lot of bad.
The UpStand from Just Mobile, is fortunately, one of the good stands to add on the list; dare I say it's even great? Check out my full video review of this beautiful iPad stand after the break...
When it comes to Spotlight on the iPhone, there are two camps. Ones who use it, and others that find it completely worthless.
If you're in the latter camp, perhaps SLShortcuts will change your mind? It's an upcoming jailbreak tweak, which allows you to run custom text commands directly from your Spotlight search...
Instagram has been around for some time now, bringing an interesting concoction of quick snaps and ready-made filters to the crazy world of iOS social networking. The photos created and shared by Instagram both delight and appall, but love or hate it, the world's favorite photographic networking app isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
As if to drive that point home, one group of budding photographers has come together in London, with the goal putting together an art show aimed at highlighting the very best photos to be fiddled with by Instagram's filters...
