Yesterday we heard a rumor that Apple may have been looking to announce a new iPhone not at its annual September event—one the company has traditionally used to announce new iPods—but that an event to launch the new iPhone may be held “in the beginning or middle of August” instead, according to Boy Genius Report.
The rumor also …
We tech journalists love our silly jargon, even if it’s gibberish to the average user. So if you heard the rumor that Apple will start selling an unlocked iPhone 4 on Wednesday, allow me to explain what that means.
If you buy an iPhone in the United States today, you must pledge allegiance to a single wireless carrier and never go …
Here we go again. A new rumor suggests that Apple is working on a third-generation iPad, with a better display and support for 4G LTE networks — and that it’ll be ready by Christmas.
The report by Asian research firm CLSA, mentioned in the Wall Street Journal‘s MarketBeat blog, cites “checks,” which usually refers to sources in the …
Apple just pre-announced the iCloud for next week’s Worldwide Developers Conference, but what the company didn’t say — specifically, that it’ll bring the iPhone 5 or other new hardware to the event — is just as important.
It’s unusual for Apple to tease news ahead of time, so I can only imagine that this press release was intended …
In case you hadn’t noticed, this whole online music thing is heating up. First Amazon rolled out its Cloud Player, then Google Music came along, and now Apple is expected to announce its own online music service—the big money’s on something called “iCloud” that’ll be unveiled on June 6th.
The difference between Apple’s offering and …
Something weird’s supposedly going down at Apple Stores ahead of their 10th anniversary.
Employees are planning an overnight shift on Saturday, an unnamed tipster told Boy Genius Report, during which cell phones will be confiscated and 10 or 15 individuals will have to work through mid-Sunday. The staff have reportedly received …
I should know better than to report on analyst predictions about the next iPhone — they’re often wrong — but the latest from Jefferies & Company analyst Peter Misek is irresistible.
Misek said in a research note that the iPhone 5 will actually be called the iPhone 4S, suggesting that it’ll be a minor upgrade similar to the iPhone …
As Apple gets set to reveal details of the next major overhaul to the iOS software used on the iPhone and iPad, there’s been some speculation that future incremental updates to the operating system may be pushed out directly to devices instead of having to be downloaded into iTunes first.
That’d be a relatively trivial feature to add, …
MacRumors.com is reporting that an AT&T customer service rep apparently told a customer the following regarding the next iPhone:
“Apple has informed us that they do not plan to release the iPhone in the June to July timeframe, though there will be a newer version in the future. Unfortunately, we have not been given a release time for

Note to self: Purchase domain names with the letter “I” followed by an actual word, just in case. GigaOM.com is reporting that a company in Sweden named Xcerion that owns the iCloud.com domain has recently purchased CloudMe.com and renamed its iCloud service to CloudMe.
But why?
Apparently Apple bought iCloud.com from Xcerion to …
BGR.com has what it claims to be photos of a prototype iPhone running on T-Mobile’s network. It looks like a standard—albeit white—iPhone 4 model, which BGR asserts may just be for “testing the new T-Mobile-friendly radio with its current iPhone 4 hardware, possibly in preparation for integration in a future device.”
It’d be odd …
Another day, another iPhone 5 rumor: according to Reuters, the iPhone 5 will ship in September.
Surprising a total of zero people, the new phone is said to have a “faster processor” (hands up who thought Apple might be dropping to a slower one?), three anonymous sources told Reuters staff.
Production starts in July and completed …
