Looking for a ridiculously extravagant case to go with your newly-ordered iPhone 5? You might be interested in this new jewel-encrusted iPhone 5 cover from the Natural Sapphire Company.
Made up of white gold, rubies and thousands of sapphires, the case is one of the most lavish we've ever seen for Apple's handset. And, at $100,000, it's probably one of the most expensive...
As usual, Apple didn't give us many details regarding the internals of the iPhone 5 outside of what it lists on the handset's Features page. We know it has an A6 processor, but that's about it.
Luckily, some smart folks have done some digging and have uncovered some interesting information about Apple's new smartphone. For instance, they've confirmed it has 1GB of RAM...
Designing and developing a new iPhone every year has to be one of the most difficult things Apple does. Essentially, it has to take the world's most popular smartphone, not to mention its biggest money-maker, and make it different enough so people will buy it, but not so different that it messes up the obviously-winning formula.
That's a tall order. And it was probably even tougher this year due to seemingly higher expectations and stiff competition from Samsung, and others.
So was Apple able to pull it off?
The iControlPad was one of the first iPhone-compatible game controllers to hit the market. It was a bit bulky, and didn't garner much developer support. But nevertheless, it was a pioneer.
Well it looks like the folks behind the accessory, Product 3 LLC, haven't been resting on their laurels. They just announced the new iControlPad 2, and it comes with a host of new features...

We've gathered the top 10+ most popular stories from iDB last week for you to check out. As always, make sure that you're friends with us on Facebook, Google+, and that you are following us on Twitter...
The iPhone 5 pre-order kickoff yesterday morning was fairly reminiscent of last year's launch. Apple's website, despite having months to prepare, quickly buckled under the influx of traffic, and more than half an hour passed before some folks could logon.
The real story though is how fast the initial pre-order stock of iPhone 5s ran out. Shipping times slipped from one to two weeks in less than an hour. Some people even saw their ship dates drop a week during the time it took them to place their order...
"It doesn't take a genius," according to Samsung's new ad, to see that the Samsung Galaxy S III is a better handset than Apple's new iPhone 5. "The next big thing is already here," it says.
The ad, which Samsung will start running in national and regional newspapers tomorrow, does a side-by-side comparison of the two phones, with the Galaxy S III appearing superior...
There's tons of accessories on the market today that will bail you out in the event your iPhone dies while you're on the go. There's battery powered cases, chargers and more.
But we're willing to bet that you've never seen an accessory like the Everpurse. The handbag attempts to combine tech with fashion, with a built-in iPhone 5 charger...
We cover all sorts of things in this iPhoneography series. Everything from creativity and photographic principles to apps and gear. I had planned on carrying on with the theme of our previous two lessons about composition (the rule of thirds and the golden ratio) but then I saw this deer, and my entire lesson changed.
I have been meaning to write something like this for a while, so I figured there is no time like the present. It will be a short lesson.
If you are a long-time iDB reader, you'll likely recognize the name Charlie Miller. The iOS hacker has broken through the security of everything from the iPhone to the App Store.
Well it looks like Miller's iOS hacking days are over, at least for now. The systems expert announced on Friday that he will be joining Twitter's security team, starting next week...
This is pretty interesting. It looks like Apple has posted up the full schematics for the iPhone 5 on its developer website. Even if you're not a dev, you can find them in the Resources section.
Essentially, these are the blueprints for Apple's new smartphone. And they give accessory and case makers dimensions for everything from the ringer switch to the home button...
The iPhone 5, though some will argue that it looks similar, is a major departure from its predecessor. It has a larger screen, upgraded internals, and a new unibody design.
And as it turns out, that design could spell trouble for aftermarket back panels. Because instead of a single piece of glass — like on the iPhone 4 and 4S, you have this part-aluminum, part-glass back panel directly attached to internal components....
