The lion's share of information we've collated over the past few weeks has indicated an early October release of the fifth-gen iPhone. Although, there's still no word from Cupertino to report, a fruit company of the Orange variety, or moreover its CEO, has dropped a clinger by appearing to reveal a specific release for the highly-anticipated smartphone.
"Something's in the air"; that's the sentence Apple coined a few years ago and applies here as well. Over the last few weeks, we've heard tidbits regarding a possible release timeline for iOS 5, including today, when a report claimed that the system will reach Golden Master status on or around September 23rd. If this wasn't enough evidence, it now turns out that AppleCare employees were told to brace themselves for an increased flux of calls around October 10th.
WhatsApp is a vastly popular cross-platform instant messaging app, used by many to replace SMS, yeonly t it supports the iPhone by default, leaving iPad and iPod touch users out in the cold. A few months ago, we reported on a method that forces WhatsApp to run on the iPad, yet we found that the exact same method can be used to install and use WhatsApp on the iPod touch.
Love or hate MacBooks, I'm sure most can agree that - cosmetically at least - they do make a statement. Apple has always strived to keep its notebook range as thin, light, and fresh as possible, and that unmistakable glowing Apple situated behind the screen finishes off the MacBook range nicely.
If we brought 100 iPhone owners into a room and asked them how satisfied they were with their device, we're pretty sure that the vast majority of them would answer positively. According to an accredited market researcher, that would indeed likely be the case.
What, more iPhone 5 news? Indeed, with a launch right around the corner, carriers are likely already have all the common details about Apple's next smartphone. Vodafone, a popular carrier in Europe, has accidentally revealed the existence of a white and black iPhone 5 on it's UK website including the memory capacities it will be available in.
Apple is really getting the hang of losing iPhone prototypes before launch, and we’re sure by now you're likely aware that an iPhone 5 prototype was spotted at a San Francisco bar earlier this month, causing Apple to begin an ambitious investigation to locate the lost product, in coordination with the San Francisco police, deeming the device "priceless". Conan O'Brien felt like he could contribute to Apple's narrative with a comedy sketch.
Earlier today, we reported on the possibility that Sprint, one of the major cellphone carriers in the United States, might be getting the next-generation iPhone with an unlimited data plan. If you weren't happy with that and needed more evidence, consider this: Sprint is keeping all of its employees for taking time off in the first half of October ahead of "a major phone launch".
Unless you haven't watched TV or haven't used the Internet in the last few months, you're probably looking forward to the iPhone 5, which is expected to be announced any day now. According to several previous reports, the next-generation iPhone will find its way to all major four US carriers, including Sprint. In order to lure customers into the network, it's now being reported that Sprint will provide an unlimited data plan.
Apple's clever code-monkeys in Cupertino have managed to make their mobile operating system, iOS, a relatively stable one. Apple's own apps tend to behave themselves, running when they're asked to, and quitting only when told to. It's how the world of software is supposed to work, and for the most part, iOS does.
