Over the last several weeks, retailers have been cutting the price of the iPhone 4 and 4S ahead of the release of a new model. It’s been previously suggested that the next iPhone is expected to be announced in an event on September 12th, to be released in later September, and a report out of…
Yesterday, we heard a rumor that the new iPhone launching later this year will be nearly 2mm thinner than the iPhone 4S. While we were a bit skeptical that Apple would be able to achieve this, another rumor out of 9 to 5 Mac shows alleged images of a thinner, higher-capacity battery that would in part…
If anyone still doubts that tablets are the future, a story out of N4BB may just convince you.
