The iPhone 5S is one name rumors have assigned to Apple's next-gen smartphone. Expected to be announced sometime during the summer of 2013, the 5S may be a hardware refresh of the iPhone 5, keeping the same general dimensions, build, and screen size.

    We apologize for some technical difficulties we had in uploading today's show. Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about the HTC Butterfly s and what this means to a probable revamp of the HTC Droid DNA. We then talk about Nokia and all their tactics to make their July 11th event relevant. Case designers have also leaked the designs of the iPhone 5S and also the affordable iPhone that's also been rumored. iOS 7 for iPad was also revealed on video for those that were curious. We end today's show talking about the hidden menu in iOS 7 that was recently uncovered, and how this menu ...

    We're taking a quick break from the string of leaked component shots that has dominated iPhone 5S news as of late, turning our attention instead to a line rendering that claims to reveal not just the overall look and size of the iPhone 5S, but also of the lower-cost iPhone we've heard rumored, as well. A manufacturer of iOS device cases provided the image, so realize that no one's claiming this to be an official Apple creation. Instead, it's likely a sketch compiled from information obtained through Apple's manufacturing chain, which case manufacturers turn to in order to get a head-start ...

    There have been a bunch of leaks attempting to show off components which will supposedly find homes in the iPhone 5S, but a lot of what we've seen so far has been a little... meh. That is, we've seen buttons, connectors, and other tiny parts, but not so much in the way of more substantial hardware. If you've been craving something more significant, we just might have what you need, as a couple new leaks have revealed what just might be the iPhone 5S's motherboard and its display panel. There have been fakes in the past – especially when it comes to iPhone circuit boards – so what makes ...

    Before we begin, we'd just like to say something to everyone who's going to call us out for click-baiting with that "Galaxy S 5" title: your allegations are completely founded and true. But look here: even though Galaxy S 5 rumors are (to say the least) premature and indicative of a serious problem with our nasty-fast industry -an issue we discuss on the air- they're also important. That's because, as unreliable and, frankly, stupid as they are, they also give us an opportunity to discuss the future of Samsung industrial design. And any opportunity we get to talk about the Galaxy family in ...

    There's plenty of last-minute debate over just what will and won't show up at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference next week, but the one product that hardly anyone's strongly campaigning for is the iPhone 5S. It's not that we don't expect a new iPhone sometime this year, but the rumors have made an announcement at this point sound a bit premature. Some had talked about the idea of a launch in September, but today we get another assessment of when Apple could finally pull the curtain back on the successor to the iPhone 5, as well as looks at a few more components attributed to the ...

    It's about that time for Apple to show us the ropes with their next batch of products. WWDC, or World Wide Developers Conference, happens on June 10th and has always been about software enhancements to current software and services. That said, we've seen Apple launch a couple of iPhones and even Macs at this event, so there's no reason why we shouldn't get excited about this event. The biggest question we have is what'll we get and what'll we miss from this event. We do know that iOS 7 will take the spotlight, as Tim Cook confirmed at D11, but could WWDC be all about software this time ...

    At times when we've got octa-core processors and we carry more RAM on our smartphones than computers could ever carry less than 10 years ago, it's clear that there's a huge fight for supremacy when it comes to which product carries the most revolutionary specs. Sadly, since none of these specs are exclusive to a specific OEM, it seems that all flagship phones do exactly the same thing but with a different brand and UI. When Apple launched the iPhone 4, there's no denying that the company defied many concepts at the time. They sandwiched glass and stainless steel in order to make one of the ...

    Time and time again, I've found myself defending the technology of years past as it catches a second wind and starts to make inroads upon the smartphone landscape: I adore the return of the stylus on devices like the Galaxy Note (except for those big, blunt, generic capacitive styluses which rightly deserve to die in a lake of fire), I think an infrared transceiver is a versatile, inexpensive addition any phone could benefit from, and I wish FM radio tuners were as ubiquitous as Bluetooth support. There's one thing, though, right on the cusp of making a big comeback, that I just can't get ...

    Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about the Mozilla Firefox OS and its probable arrival into the tablet market next week. Then it's all about the iPhone 5S as it seems that the display on this device will have more pixels than the current one. The Samsung Galaxy Note III follows as it could adopt some optical image stabilization as part of the camera technology included. LG is next as the company has released the white variant of the Nexus 4 ahead of the rumored launch. We end today's show talking about the rumors that Google's future Nexus smartphone may not be made by LG. All this ...

    Rumors about Apple's next iPhone have run the gamut from the incredibly vague to the highly specific. The latest to come to our attention is definitely one of the latter, and while it makes for an interesting rumor, it's just a little bit odd: supposedly, the iPhone 5S could have a display with twice the pixels of the iPhone 5. Why is that so odd? Well, we're not talking about doubling the horizontal and vertical pixel counts (like the 3GS-to-4 transition), which would instead lead to a four-fold increase in the total pixel number. Instead, if we're talking about Apple moving from a screen ...

    Are you ready for the latest round of gossip about Apple's upcoming gear? This time we get to hit all the big players, with details showing up that concern the flagship iPhone 5S, the rumored cheaper iPhone, as well as the next iPad. Some if this is minor stuff, like a tweaked shape for the rear microphone near the iPhone 5S's camera. The 5S could also get a bigger dual-LED flash and be available in three or more colors. The idea of new colors continues for the budget iPhone, with white, pink, green, blue, yellow, orange, navy, gold, and gray all mentioned as options Apple will be testing. ...

    Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about LG's demo of a smartphone with no bezel, and the possibilities of it ever happening. We later talk about Samsung, the sales results of the Galaxy S 4 and their future Developer Edition. We later go through how the Facebook phone is now being pulled away from the UK because of the obvious bad results on sales, even though they don't tell you that. We then cover HTC, their results with the sales of the HTC One, and their new HTC Desire 600. We end today's show talking about the iPhone 5S and iPad 5, manufacturing dates and even some changes ...

    ...but rather on the future of iOS. If the past is any indication, we should see an iPhone 5S, an incremental spec-bump, just like the iPhone 4S. Regardless if that will be the case, or a completely new phone, the mobile future of Apple doesn’t really depend on the phone itself. No quad-core, 2GB of RAM, and 13MP camera with X number of lens, in addition to a fingerprint reader and maybe adopting NFC/wireless charging will stop the already ongoing decline. It’s not about hardware anymore, looks, materials, or specs. iOS, just like Windows Phone, does an excellent job at offering an ...

    For all the talk about Apple's plans for its next iPhone (or series of iPhones), all the leaked component shots, and all the rampant speculation, there still really isn't much we actually know. For instance, while we've been discussing theories about next-gen iPhones, budget-priced iPhones, or maybe larger-screen iPhones, we've been guessing a lot when it comes to their names. For instance, we've called the next "regular" iPhone the 5S more than a few times, but when it comes down to it, that name is far from certain. In fact, there's still a chance that Apple might skip the "S" revision ...
