Although at this stage, some three-and-a-half weeks prior to the alleged announcement of the low-cost iPhone 5C, we haven't seen a working version of the device in action, the outer shell has been leaked through numerous outlets, and today, a hands-on comparing the current available components with the iPhone 5 has emerged, once again.

The seemingly endless possibilities mean there's always something out there to keep us occupied when wielding our handhelds, and in the case of the Sphero robotic ball, that something is directing a glowing, robotic ball in all kinds of different directions.

Apple's Messages app, save a little occasional downtime to iMessage, provides a fairly solid and secure overall service, but customization is extremely limited. Your chat bubbles remain two colors, the background has the aura of the sky on a dull, wintry day and aside from the aesthetics, options regarding functionality are few and far between. Luckily for the jailbreakers, there are plenty of tweaks out there to rectify this, and one, which goes by the name of MessageRenamer, allows you to change the name of a conversation to anything you like.

With September 10th looking more and more like the day the next-gen iPhone will be unveiled, you can expect plenty of rumor and speculation throughout the blogosphere over the course of the next month.
