Between all of the leaked components, engineering samples, and cases we've seen so far, it feels like we have a pretty good idea of what Apple's next smartphone is going to look like. And in case you were having trouble visualizing it, we decided to post this new 'iPhone 5' concept that was drawn-up based on all of the recent rumors...

A new report is out this morning claiming that thousands of job seekers are currently lined up outside of Foxconn's Chengdu, China plant. Apparently, the applicants are all vying for a number of summer job openings that were recently posted by the manufacturer.
It doesn't take a lot of brain power to guess the nature of these positions. Apple, who just so happens to be Foxconn's largest client, is widely expected to unveil two new major products this fall. One of which, the "iPhone 5," is believed to already be in production...

Google pushed out its widely popular Chrome browser to iOS last month to much fanfare. In fact, it took less than 24 hours for the app to reach the #1 spot in the App Store's list of top free offerings.

Twelve South's BookBook for the iPhone is arguably one of the most popular cases on the market today. Not only does it hold the handset, but it has a built-in wallet.

Do you dream of becoming the next Eminem? Well, this won't help you become a world-famous rapper. But it will sure make you sound like one.

Since April of this year, Apple has been rumored to be using in-cell display panels in the next iPhone. The panel combines touch sensors and color filters into a single layer, making them much thinner.
