It would seem like the iPhone 5 rumor mill has been in full swing over the past few days. We've seen everything from cases to concepts. Now, 9to5Mac is claiming they have pictures of the real thing.
The same blog that brought us the leaked photos of the purported iPhone 5 case has just published a photo of what they believe to be Apple's next smartphone. It certainly fits the typical "leaked photo" criteria, as it's extremely blurry and hard to make out. Could this really be the iPhone 5?
As the iPhone 5 launch inches closer, it seems everyone wants to know what the device is going to look like. We've heard leaked information from "sources," and we've even seen purported cases for the gadget, but we still don't really have much to go on.
This is one of the reasons that concepts are so interesting. Artists take the rumors and the speculation, and create visual representations. This is exactly what the folks over at Ciccarese Design have done with their latest creation, the iPhone Air...
According to China Times, the iPhone 5 is set to be released in the second week of September with an opening order of 4 million units. This speculation lines up with current predictions.
According to suppliers, 400,000 trial units are currently being prepared. The news report goes on to say that the next generation iPad may be delayed until Thanksgiving due to component shortages...
While Apple's smartphone line consists of only one model, the iPhone, Google's Android products are harder to keep track of. It seems like every week a new Android phone is launched by a different company with a catchy name and a set of "killer" specs.
With so many models touting top features, it's been difficult to name a front runner to match head to head with the iPhone— that is, until now. DroidMatters is reporting that Samsung's new Galaxy S II has reached the 5 million sales mark, and it hasn't even launched in the U.S. or China yet...
Yesterday, we showed you some renderings of a purported iPhone 5 case, leaked by a Chinese accessory manufacturer. Today, we don't just have drawings- we have an actual product.
9to5Mac just published photos of what they believe to be an actual iPhone 5 case. The accessory matches previous reports that Apple's next smartphone will sport a thinner design, with a curved back and a larger display...
We're not sure whether the iPhone featured in this Target ad is the work of a smart jokester in the retailer's art department, or whether someone has inadvertently leaked an image of the iPhone 5, but either way, this is interesting — especially because it seems to tie in with those iPhone 5 case designs we published earlier.
As you can see from the picture above, the iPhone in this image shares some resemblance with the iPhone 4, however, in some ways it's different. Most notably because of those curved edges and curved back, which seems to taper towards the bottom.
A recent survey carried out by shopping website PriceGrabber revealed that 35% of the people who took part in the survey said they would buy an iPhone 5, even though they haven't seen it or don't even know what features the device will have.
Additionally, 51% of the people who took the survey said they would buy the iPhone 5 within the first year, no matter what...
A new prototype case for the alleged iPhone 5 has leaked via a Chinese accessory manufacturer working in conjunction with Foxconn. This case design comes from MobileFun, a UK-based site that claims to have received this information through its supply chain sources overseas.
If this alleged case design for the upcoming iPhone 5 is representative of the rumored device's design, there will be several major aesthetic changes made to Apple's next iPhone— a curved back, larger screen, and possibly even a totally buttonless design...
As we inch closer to August and then September, expect an influx of iPhone 5-related rumors. Not only is the gossip common for online tech blogs, but hoards of stock holders and consumers with eligible upgrades want to know when Apple's next smartphone will arrive.
Well, folks placing their bets on the new device dropping in September may want to double down. We've already heard today that Apple is readying themselves for a September launch, and now BGR has just confirmed the same thing with AT&T stores...
We're all waiting for the next iPhone announcement, with the smart money on a release date of late August to late September, depending on which rumor you subscribe to. The latest information coming out of the Apple rumor mill points to the same release window, with news that Verizon is beginning to clear out inventory to make way for the new handset.
We're always skeptical about trusted tipsters, but the guys at Phone Arena seem to think this one is legit, and if it is, Verizon obviously knows something that we don't....
Hot on the heels of reports that Apple Retail UK has been recruiting new staff for an unknown event in the next couple months, new claims have surfaced that Apple is undergoing a similar recruitment drive in the United States.
According to MacRumors, Apple has, in the past, turned to ex-employees to fill the gaps created by staff holidays, and it isn't unknown for them to be used during big product launches, too. Now, one such ex-employee says they have been asked to do just that for what is believed to be the launch of the next iPhone...
NFC has been a popular topic of discussion in the tech world over the last several months. Near Field Communications technology has already been introduced in several Android devices, and has been rumored to appear in the next iPhone.
While imbedding an NFC chip in Apple's next smartphone would help standardize the technology, ItProPortal thinks Apple has a different plan in mind for the iPhone. Have you ever heard of Bluetooth 4.0?
