Best Buy leak hints to an iPhone 5 launch with Sprint in October; pre-orders soon to be available

Posted on Sep 05, 2011 by MG1

Even more good news headed to Sprint customers today, a recent Best Buy leak shows further credible proof that the number three wireless carrier in the country is potentially anticipating an iPhone 5 launch some time in October.
Even though the leak mentions that pre-sales are expected to go live starting in the first week of October, BGR’s source mentions that Best Buy retail stores and Best Buy Mobile standalone stores might start accepting them as soon as this week in fact. Plus, the source goes on to say that the phone might actually arrive in the first week of October.
And for all of those Sprint customers waiting patiently regarding the handset, the leak shows that Sprint will be inclu...

iPhone 5 design possibly leaked in Photo Stream icon

iPhone 5 design possibly leaked in Photo Stream icon

Posted on Sep 02, 2011 by MG1

Hints of the iPhone 5's real design may have come through an unusual source as a sighting in Apple's latest Photo Stream beta has shown an unusual icon. Rather than match the usual iPhone layout, it shows a device with a wide home button and considerably reduced blank spaces above and below the display, alluding to a bigger screen. The 9to5 capture nearly recalls the design of the Galaxy S II.
Although an abstraction with room for it to just be an unintended effect, Apple is known for often being fastidious about the look of device icons, even giving iOS devices and iPods their individual colors when they show in iTunes. As such, the icon may be a strong indication of significant design chan...

Rumors say the next Apple iPhone will have a metal back, small screen

Rumors say the next Apple iPhone will have a metal back, small screen

Posted on Aug 31, 2011 by MG1

By this time next month we’ll know either: 1) The exact specifications of Apple’s next generation iPhone, including pricing information and availability or 2) The date when Apple plans to unveil said iPhone. Until either of those two events happen however, it’s going to be rumor madness until the final moment. The latest iPhone rumor, courtesy of Taiwanese news site Digitimes, who has an above average track record of getting these things right, says that the iPhone 5, or iPhone 4S, whatever it’s going to be called, will have a metal back, replacing the fragile glass that many iPhone 4 users have accidentally destroyed, this writer included. It’s also now been predicted that the next iPhone w...

The next iPhone might feature a screen that is less than 4

The next iPhone might feature a screen that is less than 4", contrary to popular beliefs

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG15

Despite persistent rumors that the screen on the next iPhone will be 4"-4.2", extrapolated from some hearsay, concept renders, or alleged leaked bezels, the almighty "upstream supply chain sources" of Digitimes report that this might turn out to be just the public's opinion on it.

They say that the screen will most likely be 3.5"-3.7", but the thinner bezel surrounding it is making it look bigger. Another nugget of info from the news piece is that the back of the phone will be crafted out of metal, not the easy to shatter and heavy glass it has now. The rest of the rumored specs are regurgitated - A5 dual-core processor, 8MP camera and uber-thin design.

Sprint asks dealers to secretively deny to comment on iPhone 5 rumor

Sprint asks dealers to secretively deny to comment on iPhone 5 rumor

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG15

A Sprint-bound iPhone 5? The Wall Street Journal has been spreading the juicy rumor last week, hence the Now Network expects a flood of questions, so it has issued a how-to guide for dealers facing the issue of a news hungry Sprint customer. Instead of simply rejecting the rumor, as that seems the most obvious thing to do with a false statement, Sprint has asked dealers to answer with a vague “no comment.” If the iPhone news hungry Sprint customer continues to ask questions, dealers should admit they’ve seen the rumors, but finally redirect customers to Sprint’s official news wire.

Carriers worry over Android/iPhone, may return to BlackBerry

Carriers worry over Android/iPhone, may return to BlackBerry

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG3

RIM may see a bounce back in the market simply out of carrier worries of an Apple and Google duopoly, Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu learned on Friday. After talking to carriers, he heard that networks are worried about the "growing dominance" of Android and the iPhone and were sorely looking for a third option to keep competition up. With Nokia not due to ship its first Windows Phones until September, he said, the BlackBerry could benefit simply by being a well-established company with a recently revamped phone line.

Apple patent application imagines iPhones that learn the sweet sound of your voice

Apple patent application imagines iPhones that learn the sweet sound of your voice

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG15

Button-loathing Apple really wants people to stop dirtying its devices with sticky fingerprints. That's why it's applied for a patent that should improve the frustrating experience of using iOS's voice control -- precisely the kind of update we've been awaiting since Apple bought Siri last year. With the help of a technology billed as "User profiling for voice input processing," your device would identify your voice, check against a library of words associated with you without having to trawl through its entire dictionary. We just hope Apple doesn't do away with physical inputs entirely -- we'd hate to broadcast to the world all the guilty pleasures we have loaded on our iPods.

Possible iPhone 5 frame hints new antenna, new inside

Possible iPhone 5 frame hints new antenna, new inside

Posted on Aug 26, 2011 by MG15

A newly spotted frame obtained by iPatchiPods has hinted that either the iPhone 5, the 8GB iPhone 4, or both will have a redesigned antenna structure. Where the AT&T iPhone 4 has the antenna breaks on the steel frame on the bottom of its left side and the top left, and the CDMA iPhone 4 has both at the top of the sides, the model shown to MacRumors has two at the bottom.

On the current CDMA model, the antennas were placed to account for the different behavior of the radio. The frame shown here has a SIM slot, though whether it's dual-mode or not is still uncertain.

Pioneer AppRadio car-interface for iPhone comes crashing in

Posted on Aug 25, 2011 by MG15

Much like Ford's MyFord Touch and SYNC AppLink system we covered a few months back, Pioneer is hoping to jump on the trend of the connected car by introducing a new system that allows iPhone and iPod content to be controlled on the dashboard of your car.

Called the Pioneer AppRadio, it integrates into your dashboard allowing you to use and control your apps such as Google Maps, YouTube and your calendar directly through the screen. This is aided with a hi-res, WVGA 6.1-inch capacitive multi-touch screen.

New report resurrects T-Mobile iPhone 5 rumor

Posted on Aug 25, 2011 by MG15

Will wonders never cease? Just one day after The Wall Street Journal reported Sprint will begin selling Apple’s iPhone 5 in October, a new report resurrects rumors that T-Mobile will also launch Apple’s fifth-generation phone later this fall. Apple blog MacTrast claims T-Mobile will launch the new iPhone in early to mid-October, citing “a contact within T-Mobile who claims to have been briefed on the matter.” BGR exclusively published photos this past April revealing that Apple has indeed been testing an iPhone model compatible with T-Mobile’s 3G network. We also speculated in early July that Apple would launch its iPhone on all major U.S. carriers this fall. Apple’s next-generation smartpho...
