What’s not hard to believe is today’s WSJ report that Sprint is basically “betting the company” on tomorrow’s expected iPhone 5/4S launch. What is hard to believe is today’s BGR report claiming that in exchange for committing to buy $20 Billion worth of smartphones from Apple, Sprint will be getting a three month plus exclusive in the form of a WiMax iPhone 5. According to the Wall...
In what could be the most solid leak yet, Cincinnati Bell may have just spilled a huge amount of information about both the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. No, you didn’t read that wrong, Cincinnati Bell, a regional carrier, listed both the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 for a split second today.  Two eagle-eyed readers of TUAW snapped screenshots of the listings (Cory L. for the iPhone 5 and Randy K...
Rumors spawning from supposed cases for the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 have been about the only thing close to evidence to appear in the days leading up to the October 4 announcement date for the new phone.  We’ve seen ones in packaging clearly labeled for iPhone 4S show up in retail stores, and we’ve seen others come and go from websites that say they’re for the iPhone 5.  If it’s going to...
What a long, strange trip it’s been. Apple delays its iPhone announcement until the Fall. Steve Jobs steps down from his CEO throne and knights Tim Cook to don the black turtleneck.

In fact,...

Despite a torrent of speculation recently that has claimed Apple will announce two new iPhones this October, a research note from Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair says otherwise. That fancy new iPhone 5 you’ve been dreaming about? That won’t be coming, according to Blair — only the iPhone 4S will. Blair agrees with a number of other analysts who have seen no signs of a redesigned...
With the iPhone 5 mere weeks away from announcement, I’ve decided to put on my prognostication cap and try my hand at predicting the features and omissions of the new iPhone. Some of the new features have already been predicted and perhaps seem inevitable, nevertheless, I’ll be including them in my predictions, and examining the possible rationals of why Apple will choose to go with...
The first-generation iPhone was indubitably the most efficacious portable communication device ever to hit the mobile market back in 2007. No other phone, let alone gadget, has ever achieved a comparable level of fanfare since the touchdown of original iPhone upon the consumer electronics landing strip. The iPhone’s radical approach to mobile communication not only triggered a domino...
This wait for the iPhone 5 seems to be taking forever. We initially expected Apple to announce the new device at WWDC back in June, and three months on we still don’t have a fifth-generation iPhone.
