Censorship is a major issue in today's society. Whether it's the government, music, advertising or film industry, many things we see, read and hear are changed up, modified and amended in one way or another.
It's rather unfortunate that Apple exercises as much control and as many restrictions as humanly possible throughout iOS, and is one of the main reasons why people wind up jailbreaking the device.
The debate on which is the best mobile operating system is one discussed frequently throughout the tech world. Google has the biggest reach - covering over half of the smartphone market with its various incarnations of Android, whilst many others believe that Apple's iOS is superior, and is only behind due to being closed source and running on arguably overpriced technology.
As Japanese blog Macotakara reports, Chinese manufacturers Foxconn and Pegatron are currently in full flow as they strive to meet the order demands set upon them by Apple. Foxconn is dealing with the vast majority at 85%, whilst Pegatron, which rather ironically sounds like a robot, is taking care of the remaining 15%.
Despite the fact that it has yet to be announced, German Telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom (the parent company of T-Mobile), has begun taking pre-orders of Apple's much-anticipated device.
You may remember the report we covered a few days back of the "N94" prototypes doing the rounds across the internet. The codenamed device, which sounds more like something from the Nokia lineup than Apple, is suspected to become the iPhone 4S if and when it reaches fruition.
There is no doubt that manufacturing cases for a device which hasn't even been announced - let alone seen - is risky business. The case makers have been hard at work, relying on tips from the proverbial "sources familiar with" the design phase of Apple's upcoming smartphone, in order to gain an advantage over competitors and draw first blood from the lucrative market.
Whilst the iOS browsing experience is clean and relatively bug-free, mobile Safari lacks many, many of the features which its superior desktop cousin provides.
Apple's fifth installment in the iPhone series is still surrounded by pockets of mystery. Whilst we have a rough idea of many of the features, there are still contradictory rumors and leaks that suggest otherwise.
