Latest Apple rumor community Stories

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Last year’s iPhone 5 release didn’t really surprise anyone. Countless leaks, photos, videos and rumor mongers quickly centered on one general idea: A redesigned case with a 4-inch screen, LTE and a new connector. One of the main rumor mongers leading the charge was Rene Ritchie of iMore who has apparently recently acquired some reliable sources inside One Infinite Loop, Apple's HQ in Cupertino, California. Today, Ritchie is...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Somehow it only seems fitting for a Samsung rumor to make its way into a stream of Apple rumors, especially concerning a new product line. Tech pundit and news sites have been abuzz with rumors of Apple’s new iWatch following two recent reports from the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. As the Internet divides itself into the “will they” or “won’t they” camps, SlashGear has discovered some screenshots of what...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online It’s been said that the mark of a good craftsman is being able to make their work appear effortless. With this metric in mind, I’d like to make the following statement: DigiTimes makes their job look incredibly difficult. Earlier this month, DigiTimes claimed that Apple would release a larger, 5-inch iPhone this year made of cheaper parts and aimed towards emerging markets. More 5-inch iPhone rumors came in from the East...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Earlier last month, a publication with a very mixed record when it comes to Apple rumors announced we could see a new iPhone as early as Q1 2013. According to DigiTimes, Apple will begin testing these new iPhones this month (perhaps they’ve already begun) and will release them in a matter of months. Last week, French site Nowhereelse.fr posted pictures from a forum called iPhone5Parts in which they claim they are the back panel...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Well, isn’t this interesting...Apple has finally sent out press invitations to an event where they’ll almost certainly announce the new version of iTunes 11. Oh, and that rumored iPad Mini thing too, I suppose. It’s likely many did a double take when they saw these invites land in their inboxes, as many in the press have been burned once before when it comes to the rumored unveiling of the rumored iPad Mini. After Phillip...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online When Apple announced new iPod Touch and iPod Nano models last month during the combined iPhone 5 / iPod event, they began taking pre-orders straight away, with a promised ship date of “October.” That’s it, October. The entire month. This is par for the course with Apple announcements. Whenever a product is set to be shipped more than 2 weeks away from their announcement, they get vague, using months and sometimes even entire...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online As September 12, 10AM PST draws closer, the final few Apple rumors are flying fast and furious. One developer has even thrown his hat into the ring, taking to Twitter (as one does) to more or less confirm several rumors. Not about the iPhone 5, but the iPod line. With Apple expected to hold 2 press events, one tomorrow for iPhone and one next month for the rumored iPad Mini, many were left wondering where the iPod line would fit...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online 9to5Mac.com is at it again, leading the charge in this year’s iPhone rumor cycle. Already, the site has given us an advanced look at many of the suspected new parts and components of Apple’s next smartphone, including screens, cases, and dock connectors. This morning, they’re showing off even more iPhoney parts from Nowhereelse.fr and a video from Sinocent which seem to further confirm that, yes, the next iPhone will have a...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Ever since the rumors for Apple’s newest iPad began to circulate, it’s been referred to by one name. Either for simplicity’s sake or just taking a stab in the dark — and taking cues from the iPod days of yore — this new rumored tablet has been widely called the iPad Mini. Last week, loved and loathed Apple pundit John Gruber once again pondered the possibility of Apple holding 2 separate events in the coming months: One...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online Remember those Apple TV rumors? Earlier this year, it seemed all we in the Apple press could talk about was Apple’s inevitable entrance to the television box market, Steve Jobs’ famous “I cracked it” comments, and by how much Apple would crush any competitors that might stand in between Cupertino and total domination. It’s not entirely clear what happened to our collective excitement about this fantasy box. As rumors of...
