uApps Updates and Information
Want the iPhone 5 the first day it comes out? Have T-Mobile USA? Well then you are lucky. Deutsche Telekom are allowing customers to reserve the new iPhone 5 for T-Mobile USA. I don’t know how you can pre-order something that doesn’t really exist yet but if you are willing to take a chance then go head and reserve one.
9to5mac has just posted an interesting story saying that Apple Retail stores are beginning iCloud and iOS 5 training. This somewhat shows or points to a close release of iOS 5 and new iPhone hardware as Apple starts the next major iOS training near the actual iPhone hardware launch meaning if this is true we could see the new iPhone hardware or pre-orders somewhat earlier than the early mid October bit. 9to5mac has this story in detail go check it out.

Well it seems that the SFPD actually did have knowledge of the missing iPhone 5 prototype unlike they have said in the past. The SFPD said they accompanied 2 secret Apple detectives to Calderón’s home where Calderón didn’t have the phone and denied ever having the phone.
The San Francisco Weekly Reports:
“Contradicting past statements that no records exist of police involvement in the search for the lost prototype, San Francisco Police Department spokesman Lt. Troy Dangerfield now tells SF Weekly that “three or four” SFPD officers accompanied two Apple security officials in an unusual search of a Bernal Heights man’s home.
Dangerfield says that, after conferring with Apple and the captain of the Ingleside police station, he has learned that plainclothes SFPD officers went with private Apple detectives to the home of Sergio Calderón, a 22-year-old resident of Bernal Heights. According to Dangerfield, the officers “did not go inside the house,” but stood outside while the Apple employees scoured Calderón’s home, car, and computer files for any trace of the lost iPhone 5. The phone was not found, and Calderón denies that he ever possessed it.”
There you have it. Seems like all of this is confusing right? Well it is. I will continue to update you with all of this as it happens.
Well here we go my first Apple News update! Lets get started!
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.

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.
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.

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 is continuing to push iOS software and Mac software by them today releasing Mac OS X 10.7.2 and iCloud beta 10 to Mac Developers. So go and get it!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Well it seems that there are parts leaking all over the place it seems that new parts of the new iPhone 5 (above)have surfaced also it seems an improved antenna for the iPhone 4S or budget phone have surfaces. According to the rumor the parts supposedly for the iPhone 5 don’t really look like what we have been hearing with a rounded back. It seems to be like a clone of the iPhone 4 parts but it could have a bigger screen. Also there has been parts of a better and improved antenna system for Apple’s rumored budget phone or 4S(below)
If you were to ask me I think all of this isn’t correct at all and what we hear is wrong. Or at least these current rumors are wrong. Both the new antenna and the parts could be for a revised iPhone 4s or the budget phone or there won’t be 2 new phones and it will just be a revised iPhone 4 being the 4s. We will see.
