For the two largest wireless carriers in the US, unlimited plans are out. Verizon introduced its new shared data plans back in June of this year, and AT&T has quickly followed suit.
The removal of unlimited plans have left some power mobile users looking for alternative solutions. After all, Verizon's shared data plans only go up to 10GB per month. Or do they?
The high-profile court battle between Apple and Samsung has already yielded several interesting documents and secrets from both companies, and another morsel just surfaced.

With billions of dollars hanging in the balance, and both companies' reputations at stake, the Samsung-Apple trial is one of the most high-profile in history.

It's widely believed that the new iPhone will, for the first time, feature a larger screen. It seems like it's been all but confirmed with reports from major news outlets and leaked next-gen iPhone parts.
But if you're still skeptical about Apple enlarging the screen on its smartphone, you might want to check this out. iOS 6 has been discovered to be completely scaleable to fit a taller, 640 x 1136 display...
