iPhone 5 Rumors, Maybe Coming in Summer 2011?

The iPhone/ lifeline have the world in frenzy while continuously revamping itself to appeal to a hungry consumer. Not long after the iPhone 4 made its debut the new iPhone 5 is leaking rumors little and big. The link below will take you to an article with some teasers for what is to come with the eventual release of the new version. Whether it is a new and improved camera or more sensitive touch screen the iPhone will always strike the eye of any consume as it has evolved from a status symbol to not only a smart phone, iPhone has become "the" smart phone. The status symbol effect is still taking place however it who has the newest iPhone that is considered the "elite." I personally disagree with Apple's processes of stringing along a consumer with small updates to an accessory but it is making them millions. Though it may be morally displeasing to me; I cannot argue with the numbers they put up.

Some of the new iPhone 5 features leaked to the public; some of which are pretty ideal. The larger screen could make it appeal to a newer demographic of older consumers. The slide-to-text could make it more versatile to a younger texting market. I know I can not stand trying to work a touch screen effectively and often times look like a monkey trying to crack a coconut. Getting back to a previous point of status symbols, the new iPhone is being showcased in not black, not white, but metal. The pictures of the metal casing make it look cutting edge and classy at the same time. Hopefully the metal casing will make it more durable to drops and other issues that relate to the iPhone breaking.

Only time will tell to see what new features Apple gives to the already acclaimed and cutting edge iPhone 5. For now check out the link below to see pictures of what the soon to come iPhone 5 will look like.

New 64G Apple iPhpne, Lost and Found

This story is hilarious. Recently, March 18th, a 27 year old software engineer from Apple was getting off work and decided to venture to a nearby bar for an after work drink. When stopping in the the bar scene this software engineer misplaced what could have been one of the most important items he has ever been in possession of. He left the unveiled 63Gig iPhone sitting at the bar! This prototype had not leaked out to the market or was really even a topic of discussion in the IT news. I never thought I would say "what a good time to lose your keys, wallet or car;" but WOW! I would rather lose anything I own rather than misplace this unseen prototype that he might not even have permission to bring outside of the building.

This really is one of the funniest stories and a worst nightmare. Check it out!
