We know, you get it, the man resigned. But what you may not see are all of the ramifications of his early exit. There's a lot of people in the world with a lot riding on Apple's success, and their world just got a whole lot scarrier.
Sure, Tim Cook has the business-sense to keep Apple afloat. But he seems to lack Jobs' creativity and showmanship. Can you imagine him unveiling a new product?
Numerous purported iPhone 5 cases have surfaced from suppliers and sources overseas in the last couple months, with the most recent finding pointing towards an iPhone '4S' device with a modified antenna design.
Instead of a totally redesigned iPhone 5, this case leak suggests that Apple will unveil a more evolutionary iPhone 4S device with slight design changes...
iPhones for everyone! Yesterday, we told you about the report that Sprint would offer the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4 to its customer base this Fall, and now a new rumor has surfaced that T-Mobile will also carry the iPhone 5 when it launches in the coming months.
The new device from Apple will allegedly run on T-Mobile's 3G network, and the iPhone 5 is expected to be a global phone capable of running on both CDMA and GSM networks...
As of right now, the iPhone is only available on two major wireless carriers here in the United States. AT&T, which was originally the sole carrier of the iPhone, and now Verizon both offer the device.
Rumors have been circulating over the past several months suggesting that Apple will finally extend the iPhone to both T-Mobile and Sprint this Fall, but so far there has been no official announcement.
Now, The Wall Street Journal has decided to chime in on the matter, and is reporting that a Sprint-branded iPhone is a lock for this October...
When Steve Jobs and company first announced the original iPhone, they said that they were going after 1% of the smartphone market. At the time, there were around 100 million smartphone sales globally, so 1% would have been one million units.
As most of you know by now, Apple has far exceded that goal. In the last quarter alone it shipped over 20 million smartphones. Not bad for only 4 years and 4 handsets into the market. But what's next?
A while ago, we reported that purported iPhone 5 cases have gone on sale. Today, the same thing has happened.. again.

A new report from Reuters states that Apple is planning a cheaper 8GB version of the iPhone 4 to unveil alongside an iPhone 5 flagship device at the end of September. The iPhone 5 will look "largely identical" to the updated iPhone 4, but it will have a larger screen, better antenna and 8 megapixel camera.
Previous rumors were that Apple wouldn't launch a new iPhone until early October, with a possible announcement at the end of September. There have been whispers of two new iPhone models coming this Fall, and this "cheaper" 8GB iPhone 4 will clearly be targeted towards the cheaper mobile market.
TechCrunch's Robin Wauters reports what we have been assuming for quite some time now: the iPhone 5 will be a global world phone, by essentially enabling you to roam on any network worldwide.
The report lists the mounting evidence, which backs up this earlier claim by Verizon CFO Fran Shammo, that the next iPhone would indeed have the ability to roam globally.
This is very good news for travelers, who won't have to worry about the hassle of no coverage in areas where only one type of service (CDMA or GSM) is available...
As we get closer to the iPhone 5's release in September/October, expect part leaks to start flying off supply chains overseas. This report is no exception, with an overseas iPhone parts supplier called TVC Mall leaking several alleged components of the iPhone 5.
A total of 5 parts have been leaked, including the iPhone 5's battery, rear camera lens and headphone/earphone audio flex cable...

Now do you ever wonder what would keep the iPhone 5 up at night if it was a person? This cartoon has the answer.
Up until the last few weeks, the entire tech industry was having problems agreeing on an iPhone 5 launch date. With no official word from Apple, analysts and tech pundits have been forced to rely on rumors and speculation as sources of information.
We've heard everything from August to October as possible launch dates for Apple's next smartphone, but more recently the reports seem to be agreeing on a timeframe. It's looking more and more likely that the next iPhone will be available in early October...
Even though it's been an underdog in the growing list of expected iPhone 5 features, LTE has been a hot topic as of late. It started with BGR reporting that they had proof that carriers were testing LTE-capable iPhones a few days ago, and the speculation has yet to stop.
