Following Verizon Wireless CEO, Dan Mead's remarks regarding the short lines on Verizon's iPhone 4 launch day, Mead also indicated that Apple will eventually offer mobile products that can use Verizon's Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G network.
This lines up perfectly with the speculation earlier this month that Apple was working on an LTE iPhone...
Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that's it's very likely that the iPhone 5 will be bigger, faster, stronger.
Right on the heels of rumors that the iPhone 5 will feature a bigger screen, what appears to be the digitizer for Apple's next generation phone has leaked into the wild.
The leaked part showcases what is obviously a slimmed down bezel that would allow for increased screen size. Earlier rumors suggested that the screen size would increase by half-an-inch to 4 inches, and this new leaked part certainly lends evidence to that...
Apple recently introduced a new connection technology dubbed "Thunderbolt." In Apple's MacBook Pro refresh, the Thunderbolt port has been added as a new wired connection architecture that Apple hopes will unify its connection technologies.
The key feature for the Thunderbolt architecture is speed. Thunderbolt promises to be lighting fast (pardon the pun) and offer incredible speeds for data transfers. The need for Thunderbolt is evident for the desktop, but it's not a stretch to imagine that Thunderbolt could eventually make its way to iOS devices.
In the latest random news, the Girl Scouts are going tech-savvy. The Girl Scouts of Northeast Ohio will now be swooning you out of your money with Intuit's GoPayment app for iPhone and Android.
Credit cards and cookies seem to be the winning recipe for the Girl Scouts. The next time a scout knocks on your front door, hide your credit card. There's no telling how much one would be willing to pay for some Thin Mints when the credit card is an option for payment.
If you’ve been keeping your ear to the street, you've probably heard about all the ramblings concerning Apple's new MacBook Pro refresh.
That refresh is due tomorrow, so I wasn't surprised to see some of the official box shots leak out.
Contained on the box of Apple's latest mobile swag is a new "FaceTime HD" option; presumable 720p video via the MacBook's built in webcam.
Considering that the iPhone 4, and to a lesser extent, the iPhone 3GS, are technically capable of handling HD video, does this mean that we should expect FaceTime HD on our iPhones?
Apple will be holding a press event next week at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Fransisco. The event is supposed to be focused on the iPad 2.
There have been reports that Apple's iPad announcement would be delayed, but multiple sources (including Apple) have recently confirmed that Apple will in fact hold an event next Wednesday.
Not much information has been leaked about the approaching Apple event besides specs for the next version of the iPad. Apple might update iOS as well, but there is no hard evidence to support that claim.
Rumors regarding the next iteration of the iPhone have been flying left and right. If you've been following the rumor mill, you know that there's a lot of potential innovations to be implemented into Apple's next iPhone.
Will Apple release several different iPhone models at once? Will the next iPhone be considerably smaller than its predecessors? Will Apple release the iPhone 5 on all carriers with a universal baseband?
These, among others, are all questions being asked about the next iPhone. Let's examine the rumors and try and make sense of it all...
Earlier today we reported there were rumors going around the web claiming that the iPhone 5 might come with a 4-inch screen, increasing from the current 3.5-inch display. When I first read about that, I really wondered what it could look like. Then the fine folks at 9to5Mac came up with a mockup of a 4-inch display applied to the iPhone 4 hardware.
The result as you can see is not very pretty. The screen goes all the way to the edge and the size of the home button has to be reduced to fit. Following rumors from last month, Apple could even go as far as removing the home button altogether...
Just when you thought there were enough iPhone 5 rumors for the day, another rumor drops. The latest rumor comes courtesy of Digitimes.
According to Digitimes, Apple's next generation iPhone 5 will sport a 4-inch display, increasing from the current 3.5-inch display. Digitimes claims that the change comes to better compete with current Google Android handsets from HTC, Samsung, and Motorola...
tw.Apple.pro, a Taiwanese website that has a pretty good track record of publishing leaked information about Apple products, claims today that Cupertino has been evaluating 3 different hardware prototypes of the iPhone 5, one of them including a slideout keyboard.
A second prototype apparently would be what the iPhone 3GS was to the iPhone 3G: a similar-looking but improved model. This version of the iPhone 5 would be the same as the iPhone 4, but would have a bigger battery and an improved camera lens...
It's hard to believe, but it was almost a month ago when Steve Jobs announced he was taking a leave of absence from Apple due to undisclosed medical issues.
What has he been doing? Does this spell doom for the next iPad and iPhone release dates?
These were some of questions that everyone was anxious to know; exactly how would Steve's leave impact Apple's ability to maintain their status quo?
Well if a recent Wall Street Journal report is anything to go by, the impact has been minimal, if any. That's because throughout his leave, Steve Jobs has been maintaining his storied work ethic...
Will Apple announce the iPhone 5 - or whatever its name will be - on June 5? That's what this screenshot taken from the Moscone Center website reveals with the usual "Corporate Meeting" placeholder. Historically, Apple has always held its iPhone announcement in early June, so there is no reason for that to change.
The only oddity is that the event supposedly would start on a Sunday, whereas iPhone announcements happened on Mondays in the past...
