Boy Genius Report is a hit and miss when it comes to Apple predictions and today the publication's editor Jonathan Geller posted a story which essentially recycles a bunch of separate rumors concerning the next iPhone. According to the author, final production of the iPhone 5 will start later this summer, which is what both the know-it-all Wall Street Journal and reliable Japanese blog Macotakara heard previously...
CydiaBlog points us to a few purported cases for a sixth-generation iPhone, currently on sale over at TVC-Mall. These look just about right given the rumors calling for a taller iPhone with a two-tone design and a metal backplate that have been piling up recently. These cases also confirm leaked schematics and engineering samples which depict a FaceTime camera at the center and a smaller dock connector at the bottom.
It's been reported this morning that thousands of job seekers are currently lined up outside of Foxconn’s Chengdu, China plant, all vying for a number of summer job openings which could mean that Foxconn is ramping up hiring as it is getting ready to manufacture the iPhone 5, as the Japanese blog Macotakara suggested last week...
A new report is out this morning claiming that thousands of job seekers are currently lined up outside of Foxconn's Chengdu, China plant. Apparently, the applicants are all vying for a number of summer job openings that were recently posted by the manufacturer.
It doesn't take a lot of brain power to guess the nature of these positions. Apple, who just so happens to be Foxconn's largest client, is widely expected to unveil two new major products this fall. One of which, the "iPhone 5," is believed to already be in production...
Since April of this year, Apple has been rumored to be using in-cell display panels in the next iPhone. The panel combines touch sensors and color filters into a single layer, making them much thinner.
Tonight, a major news outlet has added its weight to the theory. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that it has learned that Apple is indeed using the improved display tech in its latest handset...
We told you yesterday that The New York Times joined The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg in backing the rumor calling for a smaller, cheaper iPad, affectionately dubbed by the media the iPad mini. But the smaller $249-$299 iPad wouldn't just give Google's $199 Nexus 7 tablet a run for its money, it might strike a chord with women similarly to how the first iPod mini music player with its five attractive colors (silver, gold, pink, blue and green) had become big with female buyers...
Last month, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (or ETSI) gave Apple's nano-SIM card proposal the green light. The new card offers the same functionality as current SIM cards, but take up significantly less space.
According to a new report this afternoon, European carriers are expecting Apple to utilize the new card in its upcoming smartphone. And they've already begun stocking up on nano-SIMs in anticipation of an early fall release...
Just because the rumor mill is focused on the next iPhone and iPad Mini right now, doesn't mean it's forgotten about the Apple television. The consensus still seems to be that the Cupertino company is working on a TV set.
The latest bit of speculation on the topic comes from DisplayMate's Raymond Soneira. The CEO says that he believes that the rumored Apple television will feature a display with its popular Retina technology...
The Wall Street Journal was the first of big media outlets to report back in April that a new iPad model with a smaller eight-inch display was in the works.
Then, early in July Bloomberg corroborated the story and just a day later the Journal followed up with a new report of suppliers allegedly gearing up to mass-produce the gizmo in time for a presumed September launch.
And now, The New York Times (finally) gets in on the action, becoming a third major news outlet to put its credibility on the line concerning the iPad mini, claiming Apple would announce the smaller iPad later this year, priced "significantly less" than $499...
Craving more information regarding the sixth-generation iPhone? Don't worry, we've got you covered. A new report is out today, claiming that the highly-anticipated handset has just gone into production.
This would make sense considering all of the next-gen iPhone cases and engineering samples we've seen over the past week. But this report claims the device looks different than previously thought...
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...
An alleged iPad mini case mold got leaked out two days ago, showing a smaller dock connector. This morning, a purported schematics depicting an iPad mini has hit the web. According to ThinkiOS (via 9to5Mac), these drawings confirm whispers that the iPad mini will sport a seven-inch display and a brand new 19-pin dock connector instead of the regular 30-pin dock connector.
As a result, all existing peripherals could be potentially rendered obsolete. Another thing to glean from the images: the iPad mini could be really, really thin...
