Over the past few months since the very beginning of the website, we’ve been collecting any rumors associated with the upcoming iPhone 5 (also known as the new iPhone or iPhone 2012) from Apple. Everything from the likely to the ridiculous has been posted. While we have yet to confirm any of these rumors regarding the new iPhone device, we thought it would be fun to add a few more rumors to the mix and at the same time take a walk down memory lane with the old rumors.

Apple unveiled the slightly-improved iPhone 4S in October 2011 instead of the expected — and very different — iPhone 5. We’re fairly certain that the iPhone 5 — the real deal that Apple fans have been waiting for — is on the Apple menu for 2012. In fact, according to a rumor we published on February 20th, the release date for the Apple iPhone 5 looks to be October 2012, one year after its predecessor.

This rumor seemed to clash slightly with the very next article to reach our pages on March 19. the release date was stated as “July-September quarter,” based on new information obtained. Other rumors hinted at gorilla glass housing, ultra-sonic bonding, quad-core processor, 4G LTE, thinner and sleeker design, and of course iOS 6 with Siri.

The worldwide 4G LTE rumor seemed to find solid ground with our March 23 article, which stated that the new iDevice would support 4G LTE roaming. While this may not be a direct benefit to many users, including Tru SIM users, due to the deployment schedule of some countries, it will nevertheless be a long term benefit. Now it awaits to be seen as to whether or not Apple feels it necessary to include this benefit in their next iPhone. very likely, considering the new iPad does.

On March 26, we received news that the iPhone 5 could support a bigger screen, which would mark the first time since the iPhone’s creation that the company would increase the display. this rumor was posted some time after hearing about a rumored iPad Mini, so we couldn’t help but wonder at the time if we had run into a kind of rumor cross-fire and if the screens were for the iPad Mini, not for the next iteration of the iPhone.

The article we posted on April 5 went so far as to suggest yet another release date for the device, one that has obviously come and gone: June 15th. it seems more likely than ever that the device will hit in October as the very first article posted about the device predicted.

New touch panels made their way to the rumor roundtable on April 20, an article which hints at a lighter and brighter iPhone 5. the article detailed in-cell multitouch technology and also drove another nail into the “third quarter 2012″ release coffin.

May 10 marks the article that was dubbed the first actual “news” regarding the new device, when Apple attempted to gain control of the iPhone5.com website domain from fans. this came as important for a variety of reasons, one of which confirmed that Apple was at the very least considering the iPhone 5 name for its next device.

The larger screen rumor taunted us again on May 16, when it was confirmed that Apple was ordering larger screens. again, it’s possible that the iPad Mini could be involved, but the rumor seemed to point to the iPhone 5 as the likely beneficiary, which was all but confirmed on the very next article published on May 23, which confirmed the existence of 4.1-inch touch panels.

Rumors regarding a new chip, 1 GB RAM, and a mystery iOS application blessed our pages on May 31, all of which were regarding the iPhone 5 and were accompanied by some pretty specific details.

Quite possibly the most solid out of all the rumors, though, is the June 8th video that showed the iPhone 5′s alleged backing, which confirmed a unibody approach to the new device, along with other details.

Since WWDC the rumors regarding a bigger iPhone have spread like wildfire. Other rumors, like being able to swap out the camera lens and possibly even remove the back panel persist (odd because Apple has always shipped sealed handsets).

And the rumors will keep on coming at a much faster rate, no doubt leading up to the devices “October launch.” unless of course Apple decides to release it between July and September after all, which, to us, doesn’t seem very likely at all.

(CBS News) Siri, the Apple iPhone 4S’ digital personal assistant, got some heat in a recent lawsuit that claimed the software doesn’t perform as advertised.

Frank M. Fazio accused Apple of false advertising and alleged “that the company’s commercials convey a ‘misleading and deceptive message’ about Siri’s capabilities,” The Wall Street Journal reported in March.

Fazio claimed that in Apple commercials, Siri can easily “make appointments, find restaurants, and even learn the guitar chords to classic rock songs.” The plaintiff goes on to claim in court documents that the false advertisement caused “consumers to purchase the iPhone 4S over other smartphones because its Siri feature.”

Now Apple is firing back at Fazio and three others who have joined the class action lawsuit, pointing out that the plaintiffs did not immediately attempt the return the iPhone 4S and could not give specific reasons behind their complaints.

Apple’s response to the allegations:

Plaintiffs do not tell the Court how Siri’s operation allegedly differs from any particular representation they relied on in purchasing their iPhones. They offer only general descriptions of Apple’s advertisements, incomplete summaries of Apple’s website materials, and vague descriptions of their alleged – and highly individualized – disappointment with Siri.

Tellingly, although Plaintiffs claim they became dissatisfied with Siri’s performance “soon after” purchasing their iPhones, they made no attempt to avail themselves of Apple’s 30-day return policy or one-year warranty – which remains in effect. Instead, they seek to take an alleged personal grievance about the purported performance of a popular product and turn it into a nationwide class action under California’s consumer protection statutes. The Complaint does not come close to meeting the heavy burden necessary to sustain such claims.

Apple defends Siri against class action lawsuit

Adorkable actress Zooey Deschanel shines in “New Girl,” one of the best comedies on network TV. But in the latest Apple iPhone 4S ad, not so much. Comedy Web site Funny or Die takes aim and skewers her in its latest parody.

Unfortunately, Deschanel comes across more as a dork than adorkable in the Apple video promoting the Apple iPhone 4S, and that’s what the comedy geniuses at Funny or Die have parodied: faux-brother “Jooey Deschanel” wanders around a trailer, wondering what his sister is doing, and dancing to music even Siri doesn’t want to play.

Unfortunately for Apple, the real Zooey Deschanel looks out the window in the authentic Apple commercial and wonders if it’s raining – when, of course, it’s clearly raining. asking an obvious question of Apple’s “magical” assistant doesn’t exactly set the bar too high. So it’s not surprising that writer/director/actor Scott Gairdner and his partner, Danny Jelinek, essentially reproduce the opening scene. In a sense, it’s a nod to Tina Fey’s interpretations of Sarah Palin, where she simply rewords answers Palin already gave in real life.

the southern twang that Gairdner gives the character is a bit odd, given that Deschanel doesn’t really affect an accent in “New Girl,” but the gist is basically that Siri belongs in the hands of geeks, not those who don’t know what to do with her.

below, check out the video for yourself, as well as Zooey’s effort, below. Now, we have to ask, is Funny or Die planning a parody of the Samuel L. Jackson commercial, as well? because Jooey probably doesn’t even know what risotto actually is.

Apple iPhone 5 vs HTC One X And Samsung Galaxy S3: Get Ready For Fierce Smartphone Encounter

Like us on Facebook

There are different notions about iPhone 5. The rumor mill has a lot of buzz about different iPhone screen sizes. Apple is unlikely to change the screen size in the upcoming iPhone. But, in the unlikely event it does, the possibility of iPhone 5 packing a 4-inch screen is higher than Apple equipping its next smartphone with a 4.6-inch screen. Even some reports say that it will have 4.3-inch screen like Galaxy S2 but improved 720p resolution.

Apple iPhone has always been admired for its ease of use. on a bigger screen, however, single-hand operations cannot be performed with ease. Pocket-fitting phones with decent screen size, design and specs are always a massive hit in market. The concept of iPhone with a bigger screen voids Apple's ease-of-use offering.

Similar to the iPhone 5 with 4.6-inch screen, the iPad Mini rumors are complete nonsense. The main tablet war is between Apple iPad and Android tablet with 10-inch screen like Asus Transformer and Samsung Galaxy tablets. Seven inch tablets are successful only when they have a budget price tag, around $200, like Amazon Kindle fire, Blackberry Playbook and Barnes & Noble Nook tablet. However, the features of these tablets cannot be compared to the iPad. And, Apple will never downgrade its iPad specs and make it that much cheap.
