iPhone 5 Lost

Ever wish the latest piece of technology that hadn??t yet hit the shelves was suddenly dropped upon your lap to play with as you see fit? If you hang out in San Francisco bars around Apple??s office, you may not have to wish long. It seems as though a particularly slippery-fingered Apple employee lost track of the newest iPhone prototype ?V the extremely high-status and coveted iPhone 5.

Apple hasn??t confirmed that it was officially lost, but let??s look at the supporting facts and history. Those well-versed in their internet drama will remember fondly this same situation happening when the iPhone 4 was just about to hit.

Apple employee walked into a bar last holding the most sought after piece of electronic device at that time. He left without it, and drama ensued. A writer from Gizmodo found himself suddenly in possession of the misplaced iPhone. What did an unreleased prototype of the iPhone go for those days? The writer reportedly paid $5000 in cash for the phone.

Apple didn??t take kindly to the news; fearing that their not-yet-released iPhone 4 was about to be dismantled and recorded on video for all the world to see, they denied everything publicly. Meanwhile, they hunted down and searched the home of one of his house, seizing property and searching his possessions for any sign of the iPhone. The iPhone was returned right away.

Will it be that easy for Apple to get the iPhone 5 back? Maybe. Apparently, someone hawked it on Craigslist for around $200 bucks. It??s possible they didn??t know it was the new iPhone 5 as the new phone looks identical to the iPhone 4. You??d have to boot it up and compare the software to the iPhone 4 to notice a difference.

While Apple did manage to track down the phone, they got no answers to where it led them. Reportedly, the young man linked to the Craigslist post had no idea what Apple was talking about when they demanded their prototype back. Even after they offered the confused guy money to fess up, he still plead ignorance.

There has been no word on whether or not this prototype has been found. Not to worry, the rumors of the release date of the new iPhone 5 is still October 7th.

Two iPhone Models: iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S?

According to recent news, two different models of the new iPhone will be available with the release date both set for the beginning of October.

According to an analysis by Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 4S (N94 iPhone) will be released early next month. He believes that the iOS 5 will be sent to the official Apple assembling partners in the September 23 ?V September 30 time frame, making October a plausible launch month for the new products. After analyzing the Apple supply chain, Ming-Chi Kuo did not manage to identify any clues which could indicate a significant redesign.

While it is true that some analysts consider the N94 iPhone a decoy model and nothing more, there is no tangible evidence in the form of leaked parts at this point. There are indeed certain leaked documents which might make Apple enthusiasts believe that the iPhone 5 is close.

Here are some details that Ming-Chi Kuo has shared about the N94 iPhone:

RAM: 512 MB. This should come as no surprise given the fact that the iPad 2 (which uses the same A5 chip that will be present in the N94 iPhone) also has 512 MB RAM.Display: 3.5-inch. It seems that Apple will not increase the display size despite earlier rumors which indicated the opposite. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the screen size will not be changed.Thickness: similar to the iPhone 4. Kuo??s sources indicate that the thickness of the camera will not be altered and since camera thickness is the most important factor that affects the thickness of the iPhone, it seems that the specs will be similar.Glass front/back. Once again, the N94 iPhone and the iPhone 4 will be similar in this regard. Glass will be present on the back as well as on the front of the new device, just like with the iPhone 4.

All in all, the iPhone 5 features will be better than the iPhone 4S of course. The iPhone 4S will be a minor upgrade from the iPhone 4. The two iPhone models should both launch in October. No official announcement has been made about this news although we will hear official news soon which will inform us whether all these rumors are true or not.

iPhone 5 Coming To Sprint

Apple, shocking nearly everyone with their decision to root for the underdog, has hinted to the fact that the new iPhone 5 will be coming to America??s smallest major cell phone network, Sprint. While people may have never given Sprint a second glance before, consumers must now carefully reconsider Sprint as a viable option for their mobile phone service.

Sprint is gearing up for the release by putting all their efforts into ramping up their 4G service. The iPhone 5 will most likely come with the ability to connect to 4G technology. If that is the case, the iPhone 5 will feel right at home on the Sprint network.

Another interesting perk of Sprint is their reluctance to move away from unlimited data plans. With Verizon??s feet planted firmly in their Pay-Per-Use data tiers, Sprint still offers its users unlimited data and has made no attempt to move away from it. (We hope this stays the norm). The possibility of an unlimited data plan for the new iPhone 5 will be the greatest perk for those customers changing contracts ?V one that will be tough for other providers to beat.

Is Sprint ready for all this attention? As consumers, we can hope Sprint to offer attractive pricing and terms to convert as many cell phone users as possible to their network.

Speaking of price, the iPhone 4 will become much more affordable when the new model hits. If you??ve been on the fence waiting to upgrade to the iPhone 4, you may be thinking it??s a great time with prices dropping. Although some won??t even consider getting an iPhone 4 knowing a newer and better model will come out soon. Some think it is worth the wait and cost to get their hands on the iPhone 5. Those looking for a good deal might do well to wait and see what Sprint offers for new customers.

The iPhone 5 dresses to impress. Fitted with an incredible display, it stands to be a huge upgrade from the previous model of iPhone. No longer will fingers feel cramped or screen space feel busy ?V a truly expansive edge-to-edge bright display sprawls across the screen giving users the ability to take space for granted. The crisp, clean graphics will impress as usual. You??ll want as much screen space as possible to ogle all of your now-uncluttered apps.

Another reason to consider skipping over upgrading to the the iPhone 4 now? The new OS, Apple iOS 5. It hasn??t even been released, which leads many to believe it will hit around the same time Sprint offers the incredible new model.

The new iPhone 5, rumored to be named the iPhone 4S, has the trappings of a truly heroic phone. From what we know this far, its vastly improved power overhaul and beautiful, side-to-side screen display will raise our bar for smartphones once again. Enjoy more space to play with your favorite apps on a crystal clear display, now being brought to you by America??s favorite 4G Network ?V Sprint.
