While the iPhone 5 rumor mill has had its fair share of purported features for the 2011 iPhone, few of the features have been what onlookers would call “novel.” In many ways, wanted features for the iPhone 5 such as NFC, an 8-megapixel camera, voice recognition, and a larger screen already exist in the smartphone marketplace on Android phones. As a result, an underlying current of discontentment and concern continues to rise among iPhone users who feel as though the iPhone 5 could end up being just a “catch-up” device to Android.
Today, however, a new report emerged that suggests the iPhone 5 could indeed include a novel, new feature: a projector. While some Android phones have dabbled in this idea, none have successfully installed an onboard projector for displaying video, photos, and the screen onto any flat surface.

A recently discovered patent reveals that Apple has plans to develop an iPhone from a single piece of metal. Could this new patent comprise the form factor of the iPhone 6?
There’s no denying it: Apple loves to build beautiful things. Ever since the dawn of the iMac, Steve Jobs and the engineers at Cupertino have kept design, aesthetics, and form factor at the forefront of their gadgets, capturing a sense of minimalism and modern art. According to an IGN report, Apple has recently filed a patent that depicts an iPhone that is “manufactured from a single sheet of metal” as well as being ‘lighter and thinner than previous Apple devices.’”
Before we continue, it’s important noting that the patent itself bears no information that show it to be authored by anyone at Apple. Further to that, Apple usually levies its patents in the U.S. first, since Cupertino is where all of its engineers are currently stationed. This caveat in mind, let’s suspend disbelief and imagine for a moment that the patent in question is truly an Apple patent.

In spite of the fact that the iPhone 5 is stated to be released at the end of the summer, tech analysts and bloggers still cannot accept the logic that a September release for the iPhone 6 and beyond may be “the new normal” for iPhone releases.
Take a landmark mobile device like the iPhone and release it every year at the same time, and very quickly you get millions and millions of “iPhone junkies” who rely on the clockwork iPhone release schedule to keep their tech-filled lives in healthy equilibrium.
But Apple’s decision to delay the usual release of the iPhone 5 — extending it months beyond the usual announcement at the WWDC, has left iPhone users and tech pundits feeling angry, frustrated, and lost. It would seem that an entire generation of iPhone 3Gs users, who purposely skipped over the iPhone 4 in hopes that the iPhone 5 would be a groundbreaking device, have had their patience frayed to the max, with some iPhone users even jumping ship for the iPhone 5′s natural rival, the Samsung Galaxy S II.

A faster, more powerful A6 chip will give the iPhone 6 the ability to run exciting new features, like 4G and 3D displays, all while producing less heat than the current A5 chip.
Just as Apple’s A5 chip has come to reign supreme in the smartphone and tablet market in 2011, reports today indicate that the A6 chip is now being tested, and promises to power the iPhone 6 with enough low-heat processing power to enable groundbreaking new smartphone features in 2012. The first report came from Reuters, which stated that “Taiwan’s TSMC has started trial manufacturing of next generation A6 chips for Apple Inc , a source familiar with the matter said.”

Fresh rumors about the iPhone 6 have circulated recently that it could see a Spring 2012 release. But a new leaked document from AT&T shows that the mobile giant’s timeline for implementing 4G on Apple mobile devices may prove the Spring iPhone 6 rumor to be false.
The new logic about apple and its iPhone franchise is that we’ll see increased iPhone iterations more frequently. That has been the logic behind new rumors — from tech pundits and serious analysts alike — who believe that an iPhone 6 could follow the iPhone 5 as soon as 5 months after the iPhone 5′s release in September. But a recently leaked AT&T document paints a rollout of 4G LTE technology for the iPad and smartphones that, through deductive reasoning, woulf prove otherwise. Read More
iPhone users are currently eagerly anticipating the iPhone 5. But recent rumors from top tech and business analysts suggest that the iPhone 6 could debut as soon as March of 2012.
A common conundrum for iPhone users over the past few months — particularly those who own an iPhone 3G or 3Gs, was whether to go ahead and buy an iPhone 4 now, or wait until the iPhone 5 is released. Well, now those of us who are committed to purchasing an iPhone 5 — which is rumored to be due out sometime in September or early October — may want to think again: rumors now suggest that the iPhone 6 could debut as early as March of 2012.
That’s just 5 or 6 months after the purported release of the iPhone 5! Read More
iPad 2 users are raving about the speed and agility of the A5 chip, and iPhone users are excited about the prospects of an A5-equipped iPhone 5. But new rumors suggest that a bigger, better A6 chip is coming to the iPhone 6 in 2012.
Apple has been diligent in continuing to beef up its mobile processing power, rolling out the famed A5 chip in 2011, debuting on the iPad 2. Given the impressive performance of the iPad 2 to date, iPhone users are excited to experience the A5 chip, together with iOS 5, in the new iPhone 5, which is rumored to debut in the Fall of 2011.
