We've been hearing a lot of rumors suggesting Apple might be releasing a low-cost iPhone this fall. Analysts predict the timing is right for the Cupertino company to enter the low-end smartphone market and they love to speculate.
The latest gossip comes from Mike Abramsky of RBC Capital who sees things a little differently. The analyst believes we'll see Apple offer a cheaper iPhone, but it won't be a new model. He thinks the 3GS is the rumored low-priced smartphone...
AT&T's upcoming LTE network has certainly been grabbing headlines lately. AT&T claims that their purported 4G network is capable of real world download speeds in upwards of 28 Mbps. In comparison, Verizon's 4G network averages between 5-12 Mbps.
Thanks to LulzSec, we know that the carrier plans on rolling out their new LTE network in the first week of July. It also appears that another document has been found amongst the hacking group's stolen archives that helps shine some light on the 4G project...
The idea of an iPhone nano has been debated since the device's inception 4 years ago. Apple's conquest of the mp3 player market with multiple iPod models has had many folks wondering if Apple was going to do the same thing with their smartphone line.
While most people scoff at the idea of Apple producing a cheap version of the popular iPhone, Horace Dediu of asymco seems to think otherwise. Apparently, Apple has plenty of reasons to manufacture an iPhone "nano."
Though the App Store is one of the best in the business, it certainly could stand a few changes. One of the refinements users have been calling for is the ability to take apps for a test spin.
The current policy calls for users to pay for applications before they get a chance to try them out. This isn't a huge deal with $0.99 applications, but you could potentially pay $20 or $30 for a program that ends up not working out...
If you've had enough of the next-generation iPhone rumors, you may want to skip over this post. As before any major Apple product launch, the rumor mill is working over time with everyone trying guess Apple's next move.
While most of the gossip aligns with a September launch, the hardware debate seems to ping pong back and forth. Some folks believe we'll see a major update to the iPhone line (iPhone 5), and some think it'll only incur minor changes (4S)...
Last night, the 6-man hacking group known as LulzSec ended their 50 days of chaos with one last act of mischief. The team once again published confidential data recovered from their latest attack. One of the folders in the stolen archives is titled "AT&T."
In digging through the data, the folks over at iFans have come across some interesting information. The internal AT&T documents reveal that the carrier is planning to roll out their new LTE network in the first week of July, but that's not all...
Remember when Skype finally enabled video calling for the iPhone late last year? The iPhone 4 debuted with FaceTime in the summer and it was nearly 6 months before we saw Skype add video calling to its iOS application.
Fast forward to March of this year, and Apple launched the iPad 2 with a front facing camera and FaceTime support. Since then, everyone has wondered if Skype would port its video calling application to the popular tablet.
Well, we are about at the 6 month mark since Apple released its second tablet, and it just so happens that a mysterious Skype promo video is making its way around the internet...
The iPhone receives its fair share of rumors on a daily basis. It can be difficult to make sense of all the conflicting reports and claims that fly around the internet, so sometimes we need a way to get a 10,000 foot view of all the stories out there.
Thanks to Infographic Labs, you can now see most of the rumored features for Apple's iPhone 5 in one place. This graphic gives a percentage of likelihood for each feature, and it adds a sense of renaissance style.
Apple's change in release cycle this year has resulted in the speculation that there will not be an iPod touch refresh this Fall. Because of the iPhone 5's postponed announcement, it was believed that Apple's typical music event in September would take a backseat to new iPhone hardware.
An iFans forum member has done some snooping in the iOS 5 beta and found references to a future generation iPod touch. Will we see an iPod touch 5G after all this Fall?
Still wondering why Apple COO Tim Cook was wandering around China Mobile HQ earlier this week? Well, it may have something to do with the company's upcoming iPhone 5.
A worker for China Mobile allegedly revealed on Weibo.com (China's substitute to Twitter) that Apple's fifth-generation iPhone will indeed launch in September like previous speculation has suggested — possibly even earlier in the U.S. and other key markets.
What's that? You want more information on a possible iPhone 5 sporting dual-LED camera flashes? Well then my friend, you're in luck.
The latest rumor claims to come out of the notoriously 'not entirely accurate' tech site DigiTimes. It points to the next version of Apple's hugely successful smartphone packing not just one, but two LED flashes to aid in the taking of super-bright photographs....
Hot off the heels of yesterday's rumor from BGR that pegged an August announcement for the next iPhone, Bloomberg has decided to enter the rumor mill and back up previous reports that put the next gen iPhone's release at a September date.
Among a September release, Bloomberg corroborates other reports that Apple's next iPhone will not, in fact, be a "radical" redesign of the iPhone 4, but instead a mere hardware boost.
