Do you have a rather large pinch of salt handy, perchance? You do? Then let us begin.
According to Chinese-language site Sohu.com, the lack of a new iPhone this year could be down to a manufacturing problem with the handset's fancy new A5 processor.
The problem, according to 9to5Mac, is that Apple's oh-so-clever iPhone engineers are having issues with the A5 CPU getting a tad warm, what with the iPhone being so small and space being at a premium...
Hold on to your hats, 9to5Mac has submitted another piece of evidence that points to an October release of the next iPhone. This time around, the information also suggests that Apple could be launching a prepaid device this Fall.
Virgin announced yesterday that it is going to be making some plan changes to its Sprint-based prepaid network this fall. Unlimited data plans will go up to $35, and users who cross 2.5GB during their bill cycle will see a significant decrease in speed. When does all of this start taking place?
At iDB, we can never get enough of these iPhone 5 concepts. Though they don't provide us with any concrete evidence of what the next iPhone will look like, they do open the door of possibilities.
Up to this point, I think my favorite next-gen iPhone design has been the iPad-based concept by Michal Bonikowski. But these new set of renderings that iPhoneItalia just posted might give Bonikowksi a run for his money...
"Will the next iPhone be 4G capable?" It's a popular question in the ongoing next-gen iPhone debate. Some folks believe that Apple wouldn't sacrifice reliability or design by going with currently available 4G chipsets, and others think it's a necessity for the device to sell.
However, a recent survey by marketing research firm Retrevo suggests that consumers aren't too concerned about 4G compatibility. In fact, 34% of the iPhone users questioned believed their device was already 4G...
If you think iPhone rumors are bad now, just wait until we get into August and September. Until Apple unveils its next smartphone, the entire tech industry is in a game of "guess what and when" for Apple's next announcement.
While the answer to the first question seems to vary depending on who you ask, most folks tend to agree that the device will launch sometime this Fall. Now the exact date is anybody's guess, but 9to5Mac just received an interesting tip that could suggest we'll see the new iPhone launch on October 4th...
With rumors of an 'iPhone 4S' device heating up, it's also developed into a general consensus that Apple will release not one, but two iPhone models in the coming months.
One of these devices is expected to be an incremental design and hardware upgrade from the iPhone 4, and feature an edge-to-edge screen with a slimmer and lighter overall build. Apple is reportedly testing this next gen iPhone model in iPhone 4 enclosures for secrecy, in the same way that the company tested the iPhone 4 in a 3GS casing...
Judging by the latest round of iDevice rumors, Apple could really be looking to shake things up this Fall. Instead of their typical refresh of the stand-alone iPhone model, many folks are expecting the Cupertino company to unveil two new smartphone devices.
One model is expected to be a feature-packed high-end device, and the other, a supplemental "iPhone Nano" model for the low-end market. We've been hearing the iPhone Nano rumors for quite a while now, and have even started a few of our own.
But even with the mounds of evidence suggesting the device is in the works, it still seems inconceivable that Apple would break its tradition of producing high quality, expensive products. Or does it?
This Fall's impending iPhone launch hasn't only been a hotbed for rumors and speculation, it's also attracted a slew of talented designers. Artists have been using their skills to form beautiful concepts of what Apple's next smartphone may look like.
We've already shown you 2 amazing designs by Michal Bonikowski and Antoine Breiux, but both of them seemed a bit farfetched. However, the latest rendering floating around the web seems to be more in line with expectations for the next iPhone...
We actually haven't seen too many "leaked photos" of Apple's next smartphone over the last few weeks. We've seen some really cool concepts of what the device might look like, but nothing claiming to be the actual device.
Today, 9to5Mac passes along this photo, of what appears to be the next iPhone, that has been circling the gadget blogs this morning. Though the photo doesn't offer much information regarding the design of the device, the mysterious gadget does seem to be running a version of iOS...
Over the last 6 months, we've been hearing a lot of speculation that Sprint will be the next carrier to offer Apple's popular smartphone. The gossip really kicked up in January when Verizon and Apple announced a partnership.
Sprint's 3G CDMA network is very similar to Verizon's offering, so an iPhone's appearance on the nation's 3rd largest carrier seemed imminent. Since then, we've heard all kinds of rumors suggesting that the iPhone was Sprint-bound. The latest one even pegs it to launch sometime before Christmas...
We're now well overdue for a new iPhone announcement, which means we're well into rumor territory, and the latest comes courtesy of long time rumor mongers and general guess-work merchants, DigiTimes.
The latest 'news' to come out of the site claims that Apple has placed an order for a massive 15 million iPhone 5 units from manufacturer, Pegatron.
Not only has Apple ordered the handsets, according to DigiTimes, but the site also claims they will be begin shipping the hardware this coming September...
According to a report published this morning by DigiTimes, Apple's suppliers are being told to start preparing materials in order to initiate production of two of their most popular products -- the iPhone, and the iPad.
While it's obvious that after breaking their normal summer release schedule we'll see a new iPhone this fall, the iPad 3 news is interesting to say the least.
Another interesting point of note included in the report, is that Apple will only release one new iPhone instead of the rumored two....
