We know. You've heard this already. In fact, it would be downright crazy for Apple to not hold an iPhone announcement in the next few weeks.
The difference this time around is that two Apple employees in Cupertino have told The New York Times that a "fairly different" iPhone 5 is "just weeks away" from launch. Now we're getting somewhere...
With the dozens of iPhone 5 rumors that get pumped out every week, it can be easy to get lost in the mess of contradicting reports and claims from different sources.
Sometimes it's helpful to take a step back and see what all of the rumors are collectively saying about Apple's next smartphone. A new infographic aims to paint you a picture of what the iPhone 5 will be like...
Turntable.fm has released its official iPhone app. Like we told you about last week, Turntable.fm has been working on an iPhone app that lets users access its hugely popular music social network.
Since the app's release in the App Store a couple days ago, Turntable.fm for iPhone has been receiving mixed responses of criticism and praise. All of the aspects that you love about Turntable.fm on the desktop have been ported to the iPhone, so start DJing!
As we near the public launch of iOS 5, many jailbreakers are wondering what the future holds. It was originally thought that Apple was out to kill jailbreaking in iOS 5, and many became even more worried when famed hacker Comex announced that he had been hired by Apple. Was the end drawing near?
We can all rest assured that jailbreaking is alive and well. And after months of there being no untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 or the last two releases of iOS 4, the Chronic-Dev Team has said that it is "actively working" on an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5...
No Mario for you! That's what Nintendo president Satoru Iwata is saying to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. Why? Because Nintendo refuses to make games for anything other than its own hardware. How lame.
After being pressured to hop on the iOS bandwagon by investors, Nintendo has said that development for the App Store is "absolutely not under consideration."
With Apple's next iPhone announcement approaching fast, we're all more eager than ever to see what stunning creation Apple unveils next.
Until then, our appetites can be temporarily satisfied with beautiful artist renders of potential iPhone 5 designs. This one is no different, expect that it depicts what looks to be more like an iPhone Nano than iPhone 5...
China's third largest wireless provider has initiated a $234.5 million iPhone 5 promotion called the "Dragon Plan." China Telecom is already training employees and setting up in-store advertising. One store has even set up a large LCD panel promoting the unreleased iPhone 5.
More interestingly, the carrier has already announced that it will begin selling the device in October. This report follows the comment of France Telecom CEO Stéphane Richard yesterday saying that the next gen iPhone would be available to customers on October 15...
Florida Police are looking for three men that stole $60,000 in iPads from a local Best Buy in 60 seconds. The trio of culprits broke into a Best Buy early in the morning Monday and made away with 60-90 iPads.
That's one way to avoid Apple's online shipping dates. The cast of Oceans 11 would be proud.
Another day, another random telecom CEO saying things that shouldn't be said. France Telecom CEO Stéphane Richard has suggested that Apple will release the iPhone 5 on October 15th.
This particular CEO has a history of speaking on Apple-related matters, so take this claim with a grain of salt. It is worth noting that Richard's projected date does match up with rumors that have pegged Apple's iPhone announcement to take place in late-September, with carrier availability in early to mid-October...
BGR has dropped the news that Apple is releasing iOS 5 beta 8 this Friday, with the final Gold Master build of iOS 5 set to drop on September 23.
Apple released iOS 5 beta 7 on August 31, and a previous report already pegged beta 8 to drop on September 23. Apple has been releasing its beta software on Fridays. When the GM build hits, that means that Apple has put the finishing touches on iOS 5 for its public release.
We're getting close, folks!
Following NBC and TNT, TBS has updated its iPad app with the ability to stream full-length TV shows. The iPad is increasingly becoming the hub for online content distribution, and the studios allowing TV and movie mobile streaming is one more step towards the future of media playback — a future that could already be considered a reality, depending on how you look at it.
Who's ready for Conan on the iPad?
Apple has been building up to a climactic event set to take place in the next 4 weeks. In the past, new iPhone hardware had always been introduced during the summer at Apple's WWDC conference, but 2011 has proved to be a totally different year in terms of Apple's product cycle.
The Verizon iPhone 4 in February helped to throw everything off, and more factors seem to be at play. Apple is up to something different this year, and the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 5 alongside a second model this Fall.
With all of the rumors and heated speculation, average consumers are still perfectly content with the iPhone 4. In fact, last year's iPhone model is still selling better than ever...
