If you were to only pay attention to the leaks coming out of Apple and its suppliers right now you'd think that the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C were the only two phones that we are waiting on announcements for, but you'd be wrong. Samsung is also on the verge of bringing a new smartphone to market, and it's a big one.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Driving comes with enough possible distractions without throwing a smartphone into the equation, but unless you turn the thing off then there's a pretty good possibility that you'll get a few alerts through when you're driving. With Twitter, Facebook and other apps constantly pushing alerts to us alongside good old fashioned text messages and phone calls, there's never any shortage of things trying to grab our attention. When you're behind the wheel though, it's not the kind of thing you want!
Mophie has added a new range of colorful battery extending iPhone 5 cases to its growing collection of gorgeous ways to both protect and improve the longevity of your Apple smartphone.
Apple's decision to make the iPhone into a decidedly closed platform has allowed it to do all kinds of weird and wonderful things throughout its six year lifecycle, but it's also come at the cost of flexibility. Like it or not, there are just some things that devices running iOS simply cannot do when compared with most other smartphones, especially those running Google's rival Android mobile operating system. One of the things it cannot do is send or receive files over Bluetooth. It's also something that phones have been able to do for many, many years.
Apple may be expected to announce the iPhone 5S on September 10th, but at the rate things are being leaked it's very difficult to believe that there will be any surprises left once Tim Cook and Phil Schiller set about unveiling Apple's latest top of the range iPhone. As is becoming the norm on a yearly basis now, Apple's various part suppliers have done a less than stellar job of keeping the new iPhone under wraps, with photos of the production and prototyping process popping up all over the place.
Picking up the latest and greatest iPhone always has one or two difficulties. For starters, you've got to find some place that has one in stock, and when a new handset has just launched that is something far from easy. If you do manage to be in the right store at the right time though, you're still faced with arguably the hardest part of the whole iPhone buying experience; actually having the cash to be able to pay for one.
As the days tick away and we get ever closer to Apple's rumored September 10th iPhone announcement, more and more information is beginning to leak out about what Tim Cook and his band of merry men will be showing off the the world. There are already plenty of rumors doing the rounds, and those are sure to pick up pace in the next week or two.
We're getting closer and closer to the expected September 10th announcement of whatever Apple ends up taking the covers off of, and the rumors and leaks are just beginning to really gather pace. At this point it's difficult to believe that there is a great deal that Apple will be able to spring a surprise with, but that isn't going to stop the leaks from coming.
Oh Nokia, you're so funny. You might not be able to sell smartphones to many people, but you sure know how to make an ad that has us giggling behind our non-Nokia branded devices.
With iOS 7 just weeks away from release, much of the discussion has surrounded what developers will do with their own apps and how they will redesign their interfaces. As all eyes are on the developer community, it was almost forgotten that Apple too would need to update its own iOS apps to reflect the new interface that goes along with iOS 7.
