Last year, Apple changed the refresh cycle of its most popular product, the iPhone. Instead of introducing a new model in the summer, like it had done in previous years, it waited all the way until October to unveil the 4S.
The consensus of the tech world, along with common sense, says that we can expect a similar schedule this time around. But a new report is out today, claiming that Apple will reveal its next smartphone on August 7th...
The rumor mill has been pretty active this week, coughing up more information regarding Apple's next smartphone. In the last few days, we've seen not one, but two sets of pictures of purported engineering samples for the unreleased handset.
With that, it seems like the evidence is really piling up in favor of the taller, two-tone iPhone design that first surfaced back in May. And apparently that's enough for accessory-makers, who are already churning out large batches of next-gen iPhone cases...
Following claimed iPhone 5 engineering samples unearthed yesterday by GottaBeMobile, KitGuru today followed up with a new set of purported images of, you guessed right, another iPhone 5 engineering sample. Obtained from a "Far East source", the images look fairly consistent to a rumored taller iPhone believed to be coming around October...
The next-generation iPhone is one of the year's most highly-anticipated smartphone releases. The handset is expected to be one of the line's biggest updates since it was introduced, 5 years ago.
According to a new report, consumer demand for the unreleased device is already bubbling. And some Chinese resellers are taking advantage of the hype, by taking pre-orders for the phone...
Samsung's Galaxy S III and Apple's next-generation iPhone are arguably the two most highly-anticipated smartphone releases of 2012. The S III just recently starting hitting retail stores, and Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone later this fall.
Choosing between the two will end up being a tough choice for some consumers, as both handsets will obviously have their benefits. But what if you didn't have to? What if you could have the best of both worlds? Enter the iSung Galaxy V...
It seems like it's been a while since we've heard any new information regarding the next-generation iPhone. The rumor mill has been chock-full of iPad Mini talk, but nothing regarding the highly-anticipated handset.
That changed this afternoon, as purported photos of "iPhone 5 engineering samples" surfaced on the web. The metal mockups depict a device in line with previous speculation, with a slightly taller, thinner case design...
A new report is out this morning regarding the current state of the smartphone market in mainland China. With three providers on the world's 20 largest carriers list, and more than a billion cell phone users, the country is quickly become a battleground for smartphone-makers.
The new data comes from Needham & Company's Charlie Wolf. The analyst issued his quarterly report on the smartphone industry today, and it contains both good news and bad news for Apple's handset business...
AT&T has added LTE coverage to six new areas today, bringing its grand total of LTE-covered markets to 47. The carrier flipped the switch for its new 4G service in Buffalo, New York, Wichita, Kansas and more. Keep reading for a full list of the new markets...
The iPhone is widely expected to get a major upgrade this fall. Not only is the handset's current form factor more than two years old, but the competition is really heating up with handsets like Samsung's Galaxy S III.
Some of the upcoming smartphone's rumored features include a larger, 4-inch display, a redesigned casing, and LTE compatibility. But what about the processor? According to a new report, it's going to be quad-core...
Information regarding the next iPhone has been fairly scarce over the past few weeks. Which is kind of odd, considering that the handset is believed to already be in full production.
But there is a new report out this morning on the upcoming smartphone. And it adds weight to previous rumors that the next iPhone will feature all new in-cell touch panels...
A report from China claims Apple is facing a battery challenge in the development of the next iPhone. It's unclear whether this affects the planned October release, but apparently one of Apple's Taiwanese suppliers is having issues meeting requirements for the iPhone 5 battery.
Power-consuming 4G radios, a speedier processor and graphics and a taller display packing in more pixels will all require more juice so it remains to be seen if the next iPhone will be able to maintain decent battery life, especially given the iPhone 4S's disappointing battery performance...
Even though Sprint finally became an iPhone partner last fall, the carrier was snubbed this year when Apple unveiled its LTE iPad for Verizon and AT&T. The move made sense though, considering Sprint doesn't have an LTE network.
But the company is looking to change that in the near future. Earlier today, Sprint announced that it is finally prepared to flip the switch on its 4G LTE network, starting with five cities, on July 15th...
