Apple has just started airing four new TV commercials for the newly launched iPhone 5. They have also been posted on the official Apple site and on their YouTube channel.
Today has definitely been the day of the iPhone 5, and while many tech fans have had a grasp of their new device for hours, Redmond Pie's vlogger Steven Chi has been queuing for hours in Canada to get his new Apple smartphone.
Yes you read that right! iPhone 5 has been jailbroken successfully on the launch day! Popular and respected iPhone developer chpwn tweeted a picture of his iPhone 5’s homescreen with Cydia icon on it in full 1136 x 640 resolution glory (the same res. as iPhone 5).
When a major upgrade of a huge, complex piece of software like iOS is released to be downloaded and used by millions of users, bugs are definitely going to be discovered that weren’t visible when beta testing. It’s essentially inevitable. iOS 5 had a very noticeable battery drain bug that was fixed with iOS 5.0.1, and now iOS 6 – besides having a less than stellar Maps app – has issues with the App Store and Passbook app. Thankfully, there’s a temporary fix for it. Check it out after the jump.
The first drop test videos involving the iPhone 5 have surfaced, with the team testing Apple's sixth-generation smartphone against a variety of different objects, as well as Samsung's current flagship device, Galaxy S3. The test can't exactly be described as scientific, and while it doesn't give users any indication about how they will get on with the two devices or give any insight on their features, it does show whether or not Apple or Samsung has paid the most attention to build quality or product durability.
The release date for the much-lauded iPhone 5 is finally upon us, and for those who've been queuing and waiting patiently for their brand-new smartphone, the past nine days must have seemed like an eternity. Hundreds of iPhone fanatics have congregated outside a number of Apple Stores across the United States and around the world, including the iconic Fifth Avenue branch in Manhattan, New York, and many have now gotten their hands on device they craved so badly.
Everyone must know by now that Apple and Samsung just don't get along very well. In fact, it's safe to say that the two warring technology giants have never been on worse terms than they are today, what with the $1 billion dollar court case and all.
Although iOS 6 didn't exactly pack in a mind-blowing level of new features, quite a few significant alterations were made to what existed with the previous version. For example, the rather awful YouTube app was removed as a stock feature, but iOS users could grab a much-improved iteration over at the App Store, so everything in the garden was rosy.
As you are almost certainly aware by now, the brand-new iPhone 5 is releasing tomorrow, and with consumers already queuing in their droves to be among the first to get their hands on the device, rivaling companies are queuing up to take a pop at Apple's flagship.

Most of us - when shopping for a new mobile device - look for features like a fast processor, decent display resolution, respectable battery life and a reasonable camera. However, two common interests shared by all smartphone and tablet users are privacy and security, since nobody want their private business invaded nor sensitive information such as banking or work to be compromised.
