As we close in on the release of the highly-sought iPhone 5, many consumers will be keeping a vigil by their front doors, anticipating the arrival of their mail and packages; but once the outer envelope is torn away in a frenzied rush of excitement, what can they expect to see in terms of packaging?

Apple's Jony Ive was once described by the late Steve Jobs as the guy with "the most power" within the Cupertino company besides, of course, himself, and having been responsible for designing some of Apple's most iconic products throughout the years, it's little surprise he's garnered himself something of a cult following.
Prior to the home straight of the rumor-fest leading up to the announcement of the iPhone 5, some pretty outlandish specs and concepts were thrown up. Some we would liked to have seen, others seemed less impressive, but some concept designs blew our minds, offering features and technologies we could only but wish were arriving.
Although the iPhone 5 has now been unveiled by Apple, attentions will still focus on the Cupertino company's smartphone for the time being - at least until the release date is finally upon us. Once that's done and dusted though, talk of the so-called "iPad Mini" should re-ignite once more, and last about a month until its purported release.
No matter how advanced technology becomes in the future, it's unlikely they'll be able to change the weather, but with the right application on tow, one might be able to prepare themselves adequately for what might be ahead.
Mobile devices are not just great for calling, SMSing, browsing the web, sending e-mails and increasing productivity, but are also more commonly being used as high-spec gaming machines. With even your average smartphone or tablet device packing in multiple cores, one can immerse oneself in console-standards of gaming, and year by year, we're seeing many of the big publishers embracing mobile.
The iPhone 5 is here, and while some have pre-ordered it in a dizzy state of excitement and anticipation, some - few - despise it, and while others are thinking about purchasing it, there're likely hundreds of millions out there that simply cannot afford it.
The iPhone 5 will begin selling to consumers from the early morning hours of September 21st, and with the Cupertino's latest and greatest smartphone retailing at hundreds of dollars ($199 minimum, and that's on contract), it's always intriguing to see just how much the individual parts cost each.
With the announcement having already been and gone with respect to the iPhone 5, it's now time for prospective buyers to brace themselves for the usual frenzy. The Cupertino company's most prized of assets is available to pre-order right now in 9 launch countries including United States, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore. It will be available in more countries starting September 28th. By December this year, iPhone 5 will be available in more than 100 countries around the world.
Earlier, we brought you the ultimate battle of the two most popular smartphone vendors and their flagship devices. Having assessed the iPhone 5 of Apple and Samsung's Galaxy S III, we found both to be technically advanced, and the differences between the two - such as screen and device size - are only important if one prefers a large display, or a smaller one.
