Some impressive battery life statistics coming out of the iPhone 5 keynote right now. Battery life hasn't decreased with the addition of LTE, as some might image. In fact, it hasn't even stayed the same. No, Apple has exceeded the battery life levels present in the non-LTE enabled iPhone 4S.
With the iPhone 5, there's 8 hours of browsing or talk on either LTE or 3G, and 10 hours on WiFi browsing.
As expected, the iPhone 5 will be mated with a new A6 processor featuring 2X faster CPU and 2x graphics, when compared to the A5 processor featured in the iPhone 4S.
On top of the performance increases, the processor 22% smaller for more energy efficiency.
Apple's Senior VP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller is now on stage at the iPhone 5 event, and is starting to run down the specifics of the new handset.
Just as we expected, the phone features a 4-inch 1136 x 640 display, is extremely thin and is made of aluminum and glass. Oh, and it also supports LTE...

French website nowhereelse.fr appears to be at it again, this time leaking what is purportedly the final design for the iPhone 5.
The new updated design looks very similar to leaks we've seen in the past, except this version features a white band wrapping around the exterior of the device to fill in the gap between the screen, and the outer edges of the device's frame.
As you know, iOS 6 comes with an improved stock Phone app which enables some interesting new call management features. For example, you can choose to reply to an incoming calls with a message or be reminded about it later.
When a call comes in that you can’t answer right away, users can just swipe up to reveal options. Surprisingly, the Wall Street Journal claimed yesterday that iOS 6 also, among other things, includes new features that allow people to block unwanted calls...
Conspicuously timed ahead of today's massive iPhone 5 event, Android boss Andy Rubin this morning wrote on Twitter that there are now half a billion Android devices activated around the world.

We're less than three hours away from Apple's big presser and, conveniently, a new high-quality photo surfaced alleging to represent the iPhone 5 logic board. From what can be gleaned, the board clearly shows an Apple-designed chip labeled "A6", in addition to other chips that indicate LTE world-phone functionality, also proving that Apple could indeed be reducing its dependency on fellow smartphone maker and frenemy Samsung, which supplies Cupertino with more than one-third of components that go inside the current-generation iPhone...
Not all of today's news centers on Apple's much-awaited next-gen iPhone. The iPod touch, seen as the 'gateway drug' for the iPhone, is also expected to debut with a wider palette of colors, global positioning and a better camera. Indeed, one analyst is calling the 2012 iPod touch the "biggest upgrade ever."
According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the most noticeable change will be an expanded choice of colors beyond the current black or white.
iTunes, Apple's more than a decade old jukebox and digital content management software, could be updated today alongside the iPhone, iPod and possibly iMac and the AirPort wireless base station lineup.
This comes by way of search engine queries that also revealed the iPhone 5 name earlier today alongside LTE, new iPod touches and revamped nanos.
This information aligns nicely with a Bloomberg report earlier in the summer which claimed iTunes would receive a substantial makeover by year's end...
A well-known iOS developer with a strong track record of Apple reporting took to Twitter this morning to argue that prototypes of Apple's next iPhone do contain a Near-Field Communication (NFC) sensor inside. This shouldn't be deciphered as the definite proof of an NFC-enabled iPhone 5 as Apple and other handset makers often test several device prototypes before settling on one model.
Furthermore, even if the iPhone 5 has NFC, this should not be confused with an NFC-driven mobile payment system. We also know from Apple's marketing boss Phil Schiller's interview with the Wall Street Journal (Apple's unofficial mouthpiece) that digital wallet mobile-payment services are “all fighting over their piece of the pie", adding that "we aren’t doing that"...
