This is just too good to be true. Apple has posted the iPhone 4S, associated images, and an October 14th launch date on its online store.
Apple's Japanese site has been updated with the iPhone 4S running iOS 5 in the image mockup. The image looks identical to the iPhone 4. Apple has also posted an October 14th launch date.
Welcome, Sprint. It's been a long and arduous journey, but you made it to the promise land; you finally scored the iPhone.
This: image from Apple's online store, confirms that Sprint will be the official third US carrier of the next iPhone.
These are the images that are displayed when asked to select a carrier on Apple's website. See the Verzion and AT&T images for comparison.
Just yesterday, the image wasn't there, but we checked today, and sure enough, there it is. What could this mean for Sprint as a carrier?
So, what will it be? Signs are certainly pointing to an iPhone 4S as being the only new iPhone we'll see this afternoon.
Either way, it's highly probably that we will see some new product hit Apple's online store after the media event concludes.
That's because Apple's online store is currently down, which normally means the ability to order a new product, or at least pre-order a new product, is in the cards...
Earlier today, the Dev Team quietly updated the jailbreak tool RedSn0w to version 0.9.9b2. This update doesn't bring much to the table but the usual bug fixes and enhancements.
Among those enhancements, RedSn0w 0.9.9b2 brings better firmware detection for the Verizon iPhone, and improves on recovery, stitching, and blob processing...
Only hours before Apple's actual announcement, the folks over at The Next Web just dropped the bomb on what Apple has planned for the iPhone today.
According to the site's trusted sources inside Apple, the iPhone 4S will be launched today with a 8 megapixel camera, A5 processor, 1 GB of RAM, "improved optics,” and a “more accurate differential GPS stage." The iPhone 5 'teardrop' design that Apple was rumored to unveil won't be released this year.
The world's biggest Apple store in London has been transformed into a live streaming hall for the UK press to watch Apple's iPhone event today. Apple announced yesterday that it will not be streaming its event for the public, but a private video feed of today's event will be streamed to press members across the pond that are gathered in the Covent Garden retail store.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that Apple is holding its "Let's Talk iPhone" event today. Tim Cook and the Apple executive team will be unveiling iCloud, iOS 5, and a new iPhone. We'll probably also see updated iPod hardware, and perhaps another surprise.
Apple announced that it won't be streaming the event today, but that doesn't mean that you can't stay on top of everything that's happening. We at iDB will be brining you breaking news on the event as it happens.
Apple is set to unveil its next iPhone tomorrow, and there's been unending speculation and rumors about what the folks in Cupertino have up their sleeves for the iPhone in 2011.
What about how far we've come? Let's take a look at the first ever iPhone commercial...
Looking to take a break from the onslaught of next-generation iPhone rumors? Robert Scoble may have just the thing. The plugged-in blogger dropped a juicy tidbit on his Google+ page this morning regarding a secret Apple project.
Scoble is highly revered when it comes to insider information. Earlier today, he reported that Steve Jobs won't be attending Apple's iPhone event tomorrow, and it looks like that isn't all that the blogger has been hearing out of Cupertino...
We're so close to tomorrow's iPhone event that we can taste it, and the rumors just keep on flying. The latest comes thanks to Apple's latest iTunes 10.5 beta, with 'The Tech Era' discovering a rogue bit of code that, they believe, could point to Apple's impending announcement of iOS app rentals.
The blog post points out that after the rental period has elapsed, the app in question would automatically be deleted from a user's iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. While that sounds theoretically possible, I'm not convinced that's the plan at all. What if Apple was planning on finally rectifying one of the issues that has plagued the App Store since day one? What if Apple was planning on announcing app trials?
It actually makes a lot of sense, and here's why...
Apple's "Let's Talk iPhone" event is happening tomorrow. It's been 14 months since the iPhone 4 launch, and we've all been itching to hear what Apple has planned next for its incredible smartphone.
The iDB team has given last minute predictions and thoughts about tomorrow's event. Will there be an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or both? What about iOS 5's top secret "Assistant" feature? Will Steve Jobs grace the stage for "One more thing?"
Check inside for our individual thoughts and predictions on all of these topics and more...
In the midst of dozens of last-minute iPhone rumors flying about today, TUAW points to an interesting article from The Wall Street Journal. The Journal recently spoke to Sony Ericsson CEO Bert Nordberg about the company's mobile strategy.
During the conversation, Nordberg mentions Apple's popular smartphone in a comment that seemingly sums up the feelings of all of the other handset manufacturers in the industry: "We should have taken the iPhone more seriously..."
