by Stephen Schenck | January 28, 2013 1:15 PMRead OnOK, so maybe those supposed next-gen iPhone components don't really help us that much with what to expect from the hardware as a whole. For a more complete sense of the phones, rumors could still be our best options, and now some new ones have arrived to attempt to describe the low-cost iPhone in quite a bit of detail. The guys at iLounge have heard from their "reliable sources" that this budget iPhone will be largely constructed out of plastic, just like had been rumored before, and will resemble an odd mix of design elements from the iPhone 5, latest iPod touch, and an iPod classic, of ...

by Stephen Schenck | January 25, 2013 1:15 PMRead OnFor all the rumors we've heard about the possibility of Apple releasing a new iPhone model later this year that's specifically designed to be a very low-cost model for developing markets, very little has been said about just what changes Apple might make to drive the price down. Sure, we heard that a plastic construction was one option, saving on materials and fabrication expenses related to working with glass or metal, but what about the guts of the phone – the silicon? A new analyst report champions the idea that Apple could turn to Qualcomm for this new iPhone's chips, and build the ...

by Stephen Schenck | January 22, 2013 11:37 AMRead OnAll the different variations on the rumors for Apple's iPhone lineup this year can be enough to drive you crazy. First there's word of a new iPhone by this summer, then talk about a new low-cost version of the iPhone, and yesterday we heard about rumors of a 4.8-inch oversized iPhone – not instead of one of those other models, but in addition to them. Now the rumor mill that is DigiTimes is back with its latest take on the situation, offering an attempt to straighten things out, but introducing a new wave of uncertainty in the process. From the sound of things yesterday, Apple would have ...

by Stephen Schenck | January 21, 2013 3:53 PMRead OnIt's not just Sony that we're looking to for a larger-than normal smartphone, and a new rumor suggests that Apple could be looking to follow up the growth spurt that brought the iPhone 5 a four-inch screen with another leap, this time moving up to a 4.8-inch display. According to this theory, presented by the China Times, Apple isn't just planning an iPhone 5S and some budget-priced version of the iPhone, but will also be introducing a third iPhone model this year. Supposedly, the 5S would arrive this June alongside a 4.8-inch iPhone, which the paper is calling the iPhone Math. Presumably ...

The rumors of the Galaxy Note 8.0 make the scene next as we get some details on specs and a probable release date.

by Stephen Schenck | January 15, 2013 12:22 PMRead OnThere have been a number of rumors over the course of the past week looking to the production of a lower-priced version of the iPad, to be released later this year in addition to Apple's next flagship iPhone. One of those claims looked to the idea that this new iPhone would feature a construction substantially made out of polycarbonate. Now a pair of new rumors arrive to revisit that idea, one supporting it, and on suggesting a slightly different route. Digitimes cites supply chain sources as indicating that this cheap iPhone would use a plastic chassis manufactured by an unnamed US-based ...

by Stephen Schenck | January 11, 2013 10:51 AMRead OnYesterday, we told you about an interview given by Apple's Phil Schiller where his comments made it seem like the low-price iPhone we've been hearing rumored lately most definitely was not in the company's plans. Today, though, questions are arriving as to the accuracy of the initial reporting, causing us to wonder what Schiller's real message may have been. Unlike the Nokia story from earlier this week, where translation issues were blamed on a Steven Elop quote being misinterpreted, this time it doesn't appear that the language barrier is at fault; instead, Reuters has withdrawn its ...

by Stephen Schenck | January 10, 2013 2:53 PMRead OnOver the past couple days, we've brought you a number of reports on rumors that Apple will release a new lower-priced version iPhone sometime towards the end of the year. While that sentiment has been backed-up by a number of sources, Apple's Phil Schiller seems to think there's no weight to the rumors, and insists that low-priced gear isn't the direction Apple's headed. Speaking with the Shanghai Evening News, the Senior VP addressed a question specifically about all these rumors we've heard, and while he acknowledges that budget hardware is a road plenty of other smartphone manufacturers ...

by Stephen Schenck | January 10, 2013 1:27 PMRead OnFor as much there's to love about Apple hardware, and how easy-to-use and functional its software can be, it's hard to deny that a big part of the iPhone's appeal is social; we desire the phone to some extent because having the latest iPhone model is the "cool" thing to do. As time goes on, though, Android is seeming less like a budget-priced iPhone knock-off, and models like the Galaxy S III have developed some devoted fans in their own right. Now some analysts are saying that today's teens are viewing the iPhone as less and less desirable, setting their sights on Android, and even ...

by Stephen Schenck | January 9, 2013 7:18 PMRead OnWe've heard a lot about the idea of a lower-end, cheaper iPhone over the last couple days, and already have moved from analyst speculation to reports made by anonymous sources supposedly privy to such info. Now one more source is speaking up, continuing to add credence to these claims. After the Wall Street Journal made its own report, Bloomberg has followed up with a source of its own, unnamed but reportedly exposed to Apple's plans. Specifically, this source adds that we'd likely be looking at a release date that's solidly later in the year, far after the rumored summer launch of Apple's ...

Where there's smoke there must be fire too and, whenever The Wall Street Journal chimes in on the rumors chances are that there's a rather big amount of credibility to them, especially if they involve Apple. We've recently heard analysts foresee a lower-end iPhone and the publication seems to agree. The lower-end iPhone is in the works, according to "people briefed on the matter", and it could be launched later this year, despite being a rather old project. While we've previously heard of a new outer aspect, today's report claims a standard iPhone look but with a cheaper construction. ...

Read OnThere are two types of people in the world: those who follow closely what analysts say and those who couldn't care less. There has been a lot of speculation regarding the next iPhone, whether it will be the iPhone 5S or the iPhone 6, will it be in summer or will it be in autumn, will it come in black and white or will it be multicolored? Canaccord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley believes Apple will move away from its Q3/Q4 launch cycle and adopt a summer announcement policy. Furthermore, he foresees that Cupertino will unveil a “higher-end iPhone” sometime in the June quarter ...
