We have been hearing about this one aren't we? but what we have now is final confirmation.

The developer behind Infiniboard, Infinidock, ProSwitcher, ProSwitcher HD and the UI designer of Spirit untethered jailbreak tool for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has posted a video showing “pulldown refresh” for the native Mail app in iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

According to the sources at BGR, there is high chance that the next Apple iPhone will go on sale nationwide on Friday, June 18th 2010.

The following series of mockups have been rendered by a French site named Nowhere which shows how the new iPhone OS 4 is going to look like, running on the next iPhone. These mockups are based on the now confirmed “real” lost/stolen iPhone prototype which was lost in a bar in April this year.
If you were not lucky enough to have been at D: All Things Digital Conference (aka D8 Conference) and missed out on the live updates from the official blog, here is a short summary video, along with complete transcript to catch up on all the bits that happened during Jobs’ interview on stage.
We are now really losing the count of how many of these prototypes have Apple lost aren't we? After those leaked metal frame shots of the new iPhone, now a Portuguese site has grabbed the metal frame which Apple has used to house the main interior components of the new iPhone. This is basically that middle unibody piece which will have glass (or plastic) top on each side.
Remember what Steve Jobs said about how “Magical” the iPad was? Well a young Japanese magician Shinya has performed a series of tricks right outside an Apple Store to prove just that.
