The report came from John Paczkowski of All Things D and he stated that according to his sources the next iPhone whether it be the iPhone 4S or the iPhone 5 will launch sometime in October of this year and not September as was previously thought. On the website All Things D you can read all about it and why the date has been changed from September to October.

With so many different reports circulating and rumored dates of September and October it really is getting very hard to predict when Apple will unveil the next generation iPhone and like most people out there I guess we really going to have to wait and that wait could be an additional 30 days if these new reports are to be believed.

We don’t even know for sure about the design of the next model as there are contradicting reports surrounding this too. Some say that the next iPhone will have an iPhone 4 like design whilst others suggest that the next generation iPhone will have a tapered curved design.

Again it is all really just speculation and until Apple decides to put us all out of our misery and unveil the product no one can be certain for sure. So whether it will be a September launch or an October launch no one really can say for sure all we can say is that the next generation iPhone will be launched sometime this year. If there are any further developments on this story we will be sure to let you know.

Whitmore also went on to state that Apple may actually be trying to capitalize on struggling smartphone platfors such as Blackberry, Nokia and RIMM in a bid to win over a different range of customers.

The iPhone 5 is set to be the direct successor to the iPhone 4 with the iPhone 4S meeting the needs of the lower end customers. It is thought that the iPhone 4S will be a prepaid cell phone priced at $350 with plans that are similar to the ones found on the iPad today. This will allow users to pay for the data or calls that they require when they need them.

We really have no way of verifying what Whitmore is reporting and this is just more speculation to add to the speculation that we have already seen about Apple’s next generation iPhone.

Over the last few months we have seen numerous reports about the new iPhone so I guess we really will have to wait and see whether Apple do release two new iPhone models in September. What do you think of having a pre-pay iPhone? Would you be interested in purchasing a commitment free iPhone?

According to an industry source, supplier have seen disappointing orders from Apple and this has nothing to do with iPhone 4 sales because this iDevice is still a hot seller. Instead it is being reported that Apple is likely preparing the release of a next generation iPhone which is expected to be announced in September. The new model many are claiming will be the iPhone 5 and will probably look similar to the current generation iPhone.

iPad orders are still really great and they are expected to grow 70% next quarter to 8 million units since no new model is in sight at the moment.

Rumors of a future iPhone have been doing the round for months now and this is what happened with previous iPhone releases too. Reports initially pointed to a major upgrade but this seems less likely thanks to model images that have been leaked. It is expected that the new model will have similar features but more RAM and a faster processor are expected as is a larger 8 megapixel camera.

Like all the rumors and reports we really do have to take them all with a pinch of salt because until Apple actually release their next generation iPhone we really won’t know exactly what to expect.

Apple has just released its long awaited iCloud, a multimedia backup and streaming service. And indeed, it offers all you will ever want from such a service in a always recognizable Apple way. It will offer you web apps like what we see with Google apps and more like: Calendar, Mail, Contacts, iWork and so on. FindMyiPhone becomes a web app too!

In it’s starter edition, iCloud is free for users but it has only a limited amount of storage: 5GB. You can get more if you need it: 10 GB larger storage space for $20 annually. 20GB will cost you forty bucks and 50 GB will come at a price of $100 for every year. Interestingly you will be able to purchase more storage through your iPhones or iPads iOS 5 Settings app!

Other online companies like Amazon And Google are already offering their cloud services, and currently it seems that Amazon has a better deal for users, but of course one thing they don’t have is seaming less integration with iOS on iPhone and iPad. Besides Apple probably rightfully expects that the free 5GB of storage will be more than enough for most of the users. MobileMe users will be happy to learn that they don’t have to worry: Apple will relocate their accounts into iCloud!

iCloud is a completely new step for Apple and it was clearly demonstrated as Steve Job himself took on himself to present the iCloud on the last WWDC conference held last month in San Francisco. One of the most innovative option available with iCloud is iMatch. This app will compare music on your devices with millions of songs which are available in iTunes and it will upgrade them to better AAC format without bothersome DRM features!

iCloud should become officially available for all iOS users after the release of iOS 5 which is expected to be in September.

Apple has recently succeed in getting attention from International Trade Commission with their patent infringement law suit versus South Korean consumer electronics manufacturer Samsung. International Trade Commission can easily deny importation of consumer products which were judged to be connected with patent rights violations. But despite being capable of stopping imports of disputable products, ITC in the past didn’t act too often on this ground. Usually the threat of sanctions alone was sufficient to pressure companies into negotiations and this was in many cases followed by million s of dollars in patent fees payments.

Interestingly it seems that Samsung isn’t at this moment shipping their new product the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to Australia although Samsung’s representatives claim that this isn’t connected with the fact that Apple has initiated a lawsuit against Samsung in Australian Federal Court.

Apple’s complaints are based on their claim that Samsung is copying Apple’s devices iPhone and iPad, especially the exterior design and the “feeling“ of the device. And to anyone who has ever seen both devices, iPad and Samsung’s latest 10.1 Tab the similarities will be more than obvious. But it is true that both devices use somewhat different hardware and they use different operative systems: Apple is using exclusively iOS for all their mobile devices and Samsung uses Google backed Android OS. It will be interesting to see Google’s position on this latest clash between Apple and Samsung.
