Another year, another new iPhone arrives from Apple, and even though we should be used to it by now, the amount of hype, rumor and speculation always seems to increase with every new release. With only five days to go until the event at the Yerba Buena Center, we have a relatively good idea of what to expect, although quite a few features still remain up in the air.
Apple showcased many new and intriguing features with the grand unveiling of iOS 6, the sixth edition of the company's famed mobile operating system, and one of the ones we're looking forward to the most is the Passbook feature. Apple et al have done a stellar job in reducing general pocket fodder over the years, and Passbook will only aid the progression further by allowing vouchers, boarding passes, loyalty cards, coupons and the like to be stored away digitally, and utilized with minimal fuss.
With the well documented patent infringement court case between two mobile industry titans - Apple and Samsung - it's easy to forget amongst the bickering and finger-pointing, that the two companies share a pretty rich business relationship.
Three days ago, after months upon months of rumors and reports, Apple sent out official invites for the media event where they will be announcing the next-gen iPhone. The event is set to kick off at 10:00 AM in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts which, according to the photos we’ve across online, is being prepared for the mega unveiling.

It seems like only yesterday when the original iPhone was announced to the world by the late Steve Jobs, a revolutionary device that was going to turn the industry on its head and be the new benchmark for what manufacturers would need to live up to. Although it seems that Samsung took the challenge a lot more literally than others, the race for the top of the smartphone charts is still going strong, and it's only a matter of days until Apple introduces the world to their sixth-generation iPhone. We can't wait.
British newspaper TheTelegraph believes Apple is about to cease the sale of the iPhone 3GS when the iPhone 5 is introduced to the fray, instead retailing an 8GB version of the iPhone 4S, which is currently sold in 16, 32 and 64GB configurations.
Despite having not released any new material for quite a while now, the wacky pop star Lady Gaga remains a press reporter's dream. Famed for her unusual outfits and antics as well as her chart-smashing success, she has a legion of fans she affectionately refers to as "little monsters," and on a social network created especially for her superfans, Gaga has announced her next album will be released as an app for Apple's iPhone and iPad.
If you like your comic books, 2012 will have, by all accounts, been a pretty decent year for you entertainment-wise. The recent release of the Dark Knight Rises was a box office smash, and the accompanying title for mobile devices certainly wasn't too shabby, either.
Although the official unveiling of the iPhone 5 remains a week away, we already have a pretty solid idea of what'll be in store in terms of aesthetics and vital hardware specification. Yerba Buena in San Francisco, California will place Tim Cook and Co. in familiar surroundings come September 12th, and even though we've been treated to a glut of images and videos of the next-generation Apple smartphone, it now appears as though we've gotten our first look at the device in action. Well, sort of.
With Apple sending out media invites today for the official unveiling of the next iPhone - or the iPhone 5 as the subliminal message reveals in the invite image itself - we’re just days away from getting a glimpse of what is going to be yet another game changing smartphone from Apple.
