Phil Schiller is still on stage at Apple's iPhone event and is going over new feature after new feature of the handset. It's got a 4-inch display, built-in LTE support, an A6 processor and a better battery.
And it also has a new and improved audio system. Apple upgraded both the microphones and the speakers in the iPhone 5, giving it new noise canceling features and "wideband" audio...

Apple started prepping for its highly-anticipated iPhone event last week, hanging colorful banners outside of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
The company's venue decorations are typically more interesting than they are insightful. But this time, they may contain clues to its upcoming announcement...
Earlier this week, Apple sent out media invitations to an event to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on September 12. It's widely expected to unveil a new iPhone.

Samsung took the stage today at the annual IFA show in Berlin, Germany to unveil a slew of new devices. The keynote was the first in a long line of scheduled product announcements leading up to Apple's September 12 iPhone event.
Among the new gadgets Samsung debuted this morning was the long-rumored Galaxy Note II. The device follows up a fairly successful Galaxy Note, which had the internals of a smartphone and the form factor of a mini tablet.

Apple has yet to make any kind of official announcement regarding when the next iPhone will be unveiled and become available, but we're almost positive we know the dates. Apple is expected to debut the handset on September 12, and launch it in stores on September 21.

Up to this point, we've been assuming that Apple would unveil the iPad mini alongside the new iPhone at its September 12 event. Why? Because the often-accurate Rene Ritchie said so, and his report, at least the date, has been confirmed by a number of news outlets.
But today, John Gruber of Daring Fireball contests the information, making a pretty strong case for why Apple would hold two separate events. He opines that since the iPhone is Apple's single most important product, it's unlikely that it would share the spotlight...
Reports of the September 12 iPhone event started circling late last month. And although several publications have confirmed the date, Apple itself has yet to make any kind of announcement.

While the September unveil and launch date for the new iPhone has been all-but-confirmed by a number of news outlets, Apple has still yet to officially make the call. And it may not for another two weeks.

Thanks to leaked components and industry sources, it feels like we know just about everything there is to know about Apple's new smartphone. We [think we] know what it looks like, and what new features it will have. But we haven't heard much about its release date, until now.
A new report is out this evening claiming that Apple is planning to unveil the sixth-generation iPhone at a "special event" on Wednesday, September 12, and it's expected to release the handset the following week. But that's not all the Cupertino company has in store...
