With the third-gen iPad having released back in March and the next iPhone expected sometime this fall, this year's WWDC is expected to announce a MacBook refresh. Rumors have been constant, with many reports suggesting Apple would implement the famous Retina display to its notebook range, but a screenshot of a purported specs list of a new MacBook Pro suggests otherwise.
When Siri was launched back in October along with iOS 5, many iDevice users - myself included - were a tad bemused that Apple had decided to make its exciting new voice assistant a feature exclusive to the then brand-new iPhone 4S. The Cupertino claims of older devices being unable to facilitate the eloquent (albeit often mishearing) voice-activated sidekick were questioned by many, but with the iPhone 4S frenzy having died down, we all expected March to bring a new iPad inclusive of Siri.
If you happen to be like me and are one of the millions who are walking around with a white iPhone 4S then be prepared to shed some tears as you are no longer the owner of the most popular smartphone on the market, in the UK at least. uSwitch are reporting that after battling past all of the competition, the beautiful white 4S eventually managed to claw its way into the number one position last month only to be toppled by Samsung's Galaxy S III.
The run up to any Apple hardware or software release just wouldn't be the same without the influx of rumors and insane speculation that gets thrown around the world wide web, often quoted as gospel. As you can imagine, with an initial look at iOS 6 set to come sometime during the worldwide Developers Conference and the sixth-generation iPhone expected later on this year, the conjecture train is stopping at every station with sources coming out of every corner to throw their opinions on board.
With just less than two weeks to go until Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco, it seems that people are expecting Apple to announce more than just some information pertaining to iOS 6. It isn't unordinary for this time of year to bring an influx of leaked parts and components that are speculated to be part of the purported next-generation iPhone. It is pretty much accepted that WWDC will bring some kind of iOS 6 announcement, paying particular attention to Apple's expected 3D maps application, but could we also see some hardware related announcements?
Although this week was meant to be all about Samsung with the release of the long-awaited Galaxy S III powerhouse, Apple - as it does - has unwittingly spoiled the party as the tech world becomes engrossed by leaks of the upcoming iPhone device.
It has been a long time, but on the 22nd of June, United States smartphone fans will be able to benefit from America's first prepaid iPhone package thanks to Cricket Wireless. The company, who trade independently but are owned by Leap Wireless will start to offer the deals at the back end of next month with an "unlimited" plan, setting consumers back $55 each month.
If you are keeping up on all your iPhone 5 rumors, then you will no doubt have gotten all hot under the collar about yesterday's leaked images of what appear to be rear plates from an “iPhone 5”. The images were part of a collection which also showed a relocated FaceTime camera and altered unibody design. The new shell, or should we say supposed photos of the supposed shell, caused something of a frenzy across the internet yesterday, with arguments breaking out as to their authenticity.
When the Apple Store went down around the globe this morning, for some seven hours no less, we all hoped that we would see something new and shiny when it reappeared. The much rumored and hotly anticipated new MacBook Pros were high on our wishlist, but alas, when we hit refresh on our web browsers one last time, we were met with much the same store we had seen beforehand.
The previously rampant talk of Apple's purported connected TV effort has died down somewhat of late, but BGR has reignited proceedings - citing a "reliable source" in reporting that the current Apple TV OS is to be overhauled, with all to be revealed at WWDC come June 11th.
