The guys over at Patently Apple have been busy in the archives again and this time their findings could possibly relate to the iPhone 5. The patent has given finer detail to the smart bezel which surfaced earlier in the year. The technology could mean that future iPhones or iPads could do away with buttons and be controlled by gestures and touch instead. The patent shows...

News, gossip, leaks and downright lies about the new iPhone 5 are sure to abound in the weeks to come. But what are we to make of the suggestion that it is going to have its own laptop dock included? The idea is that the iPhone will be placed into the laptop where a trackpad would usually be used. You could then use it as a mouse and integrated part of the computer, using...
Sony CEO, Sir Howard Stringer has seemingly let the cat out of the bag on behalf of Apple. He has revealed that the Apple iPhone 5 will sport a hugely improved camera, a piece of news that will be music to iPhone users ears but at the same time will have iPad 2 owners asking why a better camera couldn’t be used earlier. The report was published first on the WSJ; Walt...
Yesterday a report suggested that this years Apple WWDC may not include any hardware, in other words no iPhone 5. Today the California based company has opened registration for this years WWDC with strong mentions of iOS and OSx developments but no mention of hardware. The conference will bring together creative minds between 6th June 2011 and 9th June at the Moscone...
A recent report by Techcrunch has speculated that Apple will not role out the iPhone 5 until summer and when they do it probably won’t come with the hotly anticipated iOS 5 but a variant of iOS 4, perhaps 4.4. The latest rumours actually suggest that iOS 5 will not be released until Autumn 2011 although it will probably be unveiled during Apples annual WWDC conference...
The last couple of weeks have been filled with speculation and leaks surrounding the Apple iPhone 5. First we heard it would include NFC, then Apple denied this and finally another ‘expert close to the matter’ confirmed that it would indeed come with the wave and pay technology. A new report by The China Times has also suggested NFC, a new antenna and a 4 inch display...
The on-again, off-again rumours surrounding near field communication and the iPhone 5 seems to be pointing back towards the tech being included on the upcoming Smartphone despite clear denials by Apple to various newspapers and network providers at the beginning of this week. Apple was hotly tipped to include NFC payment technology on both the iPad 2 and iPhone 5; obviously...
It seems the Apple iPhone 5 will not come with wireless payment technology despite strong signals to suggest it would come equipped with Near Field Communication. Apple has taken the decision to hold off using the technology because they feel there is ‘a lack of clear standard across the industry’. They told The Independent Newspaper that the iPhone 5 will not include...
A couple of days ago we brought news of a new iPhone 5 ‘mold drawing’ which seemed to depict the upcoming Smartphone as having an edge to edge screen. At the time we were a little sceptical of the drawings as they looked very much like an iPhone 4 in design and didn’t conclusively show an edgeless screen (there was still a thin bezel). Then the same source revealed...
Another day and another set of drawings reveal a little more about the up and coming Apple iPhone 5, this time described as ‘mold engineering drawings’ which are commonly used by case and accessory manufacturers to design their products. These types of drawings are also used by Apple engineers and manufacturing plants to create components – think of them as simplified...
