September 2, 2011September 2, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Well here we go my first Apple News update! Lets get started!

confirmed: naunce speech ios 5 is being tested.

A little bit of an interesting story 9to5mac has confirmed that Apple is testing NAUNCE Speech To Text in iOS 5. It isn’t available for anyone but Apple’s testers but if all goes well then it should make it’s way to us this fall hopefully with the iPhone 5.

iPhone 4 in supposed iPhone 5 case shows big changes.

The image you see above is what is an alleged iPhone 5 case and an iPhone 4 sitting in it and it does look like if thats an accurate case there are some big differences. Now as you can see it seems to be a lot thinner and I mean a lot thinner. It is also wider probably for what is rumored to be the bigger and better 4 inch screen of the upcoming iPhone and if you look to the left you see the whole for the mute switch but nothing for the buttons. Does this add to the rumor of the buttons all going capacitive? We’ll find out.

iPhone 5 investigators could have been Apple employees.

Remember the iPhone 5 story we had about someone leaving the iPhone 5 in a bar? Well it seems that the police who went looking for the prototype might not have been actually police but instead have been Apple employee’s or one of them anyways. Now Calderón the man who found the iPhone reports this to SFWeekly:

Calderón said that at about 6 p.m six people – four men and two women – wearing badges of some kind showed up at his door. “They said, ‘ Hey Sergio we’re from the San Francisco Police Department.'” He said they asked him whether he had been at the Cava 22 over the weekend (He had) and told them they traced an iPhone to his home using GPS.”

After a search of the man’s property with no successful find the intruders allegedly offered $300 for the return of the device and left a phone number when called leaded to Apple Senior investigator who is a former San Jose police officer. Anthony Colon deleted his linkedin profile which is what you see above… So I don’t know about this one but it is very interesting to read. Check out this link for more information.

iPhone 5 now has an fcc number

What you see above is the FCC number for the upcoming iPhone 5. So it seems the FCC has confirmed it and it should be coming to us soon. The number for the device is BCG-E2430A compared to the GSM iPhone 4’s “BCG-E2380A” FCC ID and CDMA iPhone 4’s “BCG-E2422A” FCC ID. Usually Apple devices don’t get a number until they are announced. This just shows that Apple is getting closer to announcing the iPhone 5.

Apple Seeds MAC OS X 10.7.2 to developers iCloud beta 10

So that is all the news that happened when I was in school it took me a little past 4 to do it but there was a lot to do and I think I did well. All new information will be in a new post.

Can we stop losing iPhones in a bar?

August 31, 2011August 31, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

It seems that once again an iPhone 5 prototype has been lost by an Apple employee in a San Francisco bar a different one than an iPhone 4 but it seems like this is getting ridiculous this has happened 2 years and in a bar. The phone was said to be auctioned on Craigslist for around $200 and it is said that Apple is not working with the police to try to really get it back. So all Apple engineer phone prototype users stop bringing your iPhone to the bars.

Sprint raises early termination fee to $350. iPhone 5 coming?

August 31, 2011August 31, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Remember before the iPhone 4 came to Verizon wireless they made their early termination fees higher? Well Spring is doing the same thing which makes me think that the iPhone 5 is coming to sprint when it is first announced hopefully sometime this month. This is somewhat strange given the fact that they have told employees not to mention anything about an iPhone 5 coming to the network. Could Sprint just be toying with us? Or could it mean we will see an iPhone 5 on Sprint this year? We will have to wait and find out.

iPhone 5 image leaked in photo-stream?

August 31, 2011August 31, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ 1 Comment

Well it seems that Apple might have leaked the iPhone 5. In Apples final version of photo-stream they have an image of an iPhone doesn’t look like a past iPhone. It has a larger screen. Here is an enhanced version of the image above.

It shows what could be a gesture area. This seems to be what all the rumors of what the iPhone 5 is going to look like. We will see sometime this month. Also a little side note I start school tomorrow so there will be a rumor roundup every day at 3-4 depending how much news happens during the day.

iPhone “N94” Front Panel Leaked

August 30, 2011August 30, 2011 ~ zachpenny ~ 1 Comment

Monday, August 29 a picture was released by engadget and ubreakifix about the upcoming iPhone “N94”. Sources have said that the picture below looks a lot like the iPhone 4S which is rumored to come out sometime in October. The following picture is supposed to be the front panel of the cheaper version of the iPhone 5.

The picture above looks very similar to some photos of the iPhone 4S which were released last week, but with some minor changes. The only difference the Apple community has yet to find out is a small circular grill that’s positioned just above the earpiece speaker and camera. It’s really emphasized on the right side of the photo. Apple is definitely good at starting rumors and I guess we’ll just have to wait until October to find out what Apple is hiding up their sleeve.

More on this topic will be released as more information comes out. Stay tuned to Apples Genius to find out. ~Kind Regards, Hunter

Sprint might actually not get the iPhone 5

August 29, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Well it seems that all the rumors of sprint getting the iPhone 5 at launch might not be correct at all. Sprint has sent it messages saying that employees should not even mention the possibility of the iPhone launching on their network. It seems weird that they would tell them to deny this rather than tell them to look at the for a new Android 4G phone that they keep trying to push to the world. It doesn’t make sense. I still say the iPhone might launch on the Sprint network. There has been no word about T-Mobile doing this maybe because the iPhone 4 can be unlocked to work on their network. We will see on announcement day.

iOS 5 beta 6 Expires September 29th GM?

August 21, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Well it seems that we might have found out the possible release of iOS 5 or at least the GM for developers. September 19th seems to be the date where the current beta of iOS 5 which is now beta 6 expires. There will of course probably be one more beta before this but this could just tell us the GM or public release which is cool. Also could it have the announcement of the iPhone 5? Anyone? Maybe not but Apple in the past usually has the GM seed alongside the iPhone hardware announcement so we can dream.

Is this the iPhone 5?

August 4, 2011August 4, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

The image above shows what appears to be a very sneaky shot of what appears to be an iPhone 5. Of course this could be fake but it looks just so nice! It does looks the same as an iPhone 4 but a lot thinner and look at the edges you see there is some curved edges.
The iPhone 5 is reported to be the same overall look of the iPhone 4 but thinner and with some curved edges. The photo above supports the theory of this. We have seen cases to support this could be the iPhone 5 as the case does look like it would easily fit in me of them. I would like to see this as the iPhone 5. So real or fake it does look very good.

iPhone 5 could launch in September

August 3, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Well it seems that the rumors of an October launch for the iPhone 5 might not be accurate. A new rumor says that Apple has started giving carriers iPhone 5’s to test them on their network. Also according to DigiTimes Apple has made an order for 10 million iPhone 5’s ahead of launch.

Pegatron Technology has landed orders for 10 million units of iPhone 5 to become the second ODM of the smartphone. Shipments will start in September, according to industry sources.

So it seems like it is going to be a September launch… At least for the U.S anyways.

iPhone 5 launching in October?

August 1, 2011August 1, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

So I guess those September iPhone 5 launch rumors might not be as accurate as we all thought they were. It seems that the iPhone 5 might actually launch in October according to a new report. This is brought to us by AllThingsD which has been right about many iPhone rumors before.

So those rumors claiming the iPhone 5 will debut in late September? They’re wrong. Instead, it’s going to be an October surprise — the month in which Apple will be launching its next generation iPhone.

AT&T has bumped up iPhone insurance last month and the last 2 weeks of September was blocked from employees taking vacations. This also fits nicely with the iPhone 5 international launch which we were told would be launching. We will defiantly have to wait and see.
