Claimed photo of next-gen iPhone sync cable surfaces

Over the past few weeks, we've seen an increase in iPhone 5 part leaks — specifically the dock connector/headphone jack assembly. The components have echoed previous reports that the next-gen iPhone would have a smaller dock connector.

AT&T: FaceTime fears are ‘wrong’

AT&T Wednesday tried to clarify its position on limiting the iOS 6 FaceTime over Cellular feature to its Mobile Share data plan customers. The carrier called concerns that last week's move might require subscribers change data plans "wrong" and "another knee jerk reaction" about net neutrality.

The cell provider said subscribers can download a number of video chat apps that compete with AT&T's service, a requirement of net neutrality laws...
