iPhone 5 Announcement on September 12 Appears Rock Solid as Additional Confirmations Roll In

On Monday, iMore said that Apple will announce the iPhone 5, and possibly the iPad mini, during a press event on September 12th. The iPhone 5, the site said, will then land in stores on September 21st. That report was quickly followed-up later in the day by separate stories from AllThingsD andThe Verge, which also confirmed with sources that the date is, indeed, legitimate.

The Loop, which is run by Jim Darylmple and has a solid track record of reporting on Apple news, cited iMore’s story and date and simply said “Yep.” While Apple hasn’t specifically announced a press conference, it’s hard to go against the grain and dispute the date confirmed by all of these reports. Either everyone feels a need to voice an opinion, which is always possible, or September 12th is pretty much a lock at this point.

The date makes perfect sense, too. It’s right on schedule for back-to-school season and just ahead of the holidays. Apple could position itself quite nicely with new gadgets that will top the must-have list of most holiday shoppers, if the products don’t disappoint, that is.

The iPhone 5 is expected to offer a larger 4-inch display, a new 19-pin connector and a complete industrial redesign. For more information on what it might look like, be sure to check out our iPhone 5 mockups and renders.

Alleged iPhone 5 Parts Assembled: Is This the New iPhone?

It's getting to be the time of year when new iPhone rumors are flying with abandon, and grains of salt are needed by the ton. But when industrious repair shop iLab takes a mess of purported new iPhone parts and assembles them into one very convincing device, it's worth paying attention.

Is this what Apple's new iPhone will look like when it's finally released this fall? Impossible to say. But it sure lines up with everything else we've heard. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that it looks absolutely gorgeous.

Apps For Following The Olympics

For more than 100 years, the Olympic Games have highlighted the pinnacle of human performance, but they have also brought people across the world together— much like the Internet. Despite this similarity, the Olympics have always had a somewhat difficult relationship with the Internet: online streaming of events was not permitted for many years, and even today social media use is restricted. The good news is that things have changed enough to allow the Olympics to be be streamed online. The decision to reverse previous policies on online availability shows the growing importance of the Internet in general and, more specifically, the iPad. It sounds crazy, but the first iPad wasn’t even on sale when the 2010 Winter Olympics were held, and now all of the events are watchable in iPad apps. Apple and Olympics enthusiasts should be pleased to see iOS devices receiving several official and unofficial apps to follow the games. Yes, that’s right, you can track your favorite athletes, sports, countries, and even watch live events with your iPhone and iPad. It’s important to note that some of these apps are region-specific, but they should have analogues in your country’s AppStore (e.g., the U.K. AppStore has a BBC Live app, and Canadians can use the CTV app). If you follow our list, you’re guaranteed not to miss a minute of your preferred events!

  London 2012: Official Results App for the Olympic and Paralympic Games

  by The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Limited

  The first place to start your personal Olympics coverage is the official apps, which are all surprisingly good. The London 2012 Official Results app is poorly named, because it includes far more than just results. The ad-supported app has news stories about events currently taking place, a calendar of events, a list of all the sports with descriptions, videos, and other information, a medal count, athlete profiles, and the ability to set favorites and reminders for events. Unfortunately, this information can be difficult to access, as the app’s user interface has too many levels—it often requires multiple clicks to find what you want. Still, if you’re persistent, it likely has what you are looking for.

  NBC Olympics

  by NBC Universal, Inc.

  Another option for basic information is the NBC Olympics app, which has some great content but is extremely sluggish. If you can stand a loading graphic after each touch of an icon, you will find photos, videos, and social media information in addition to the news, athlete profiles, and schedules. The app also includes a “primetime companion,” which could be interesting if NBC adds more than a basic Twitter feed.

  NBC Olympics Live Extra

  by NBC Universal, Inc.

  The jewel in the official app crown is NBC Olympics Live Extra, the app that allows virtually any cable subscriber to watch Olympics events live on their iPhone or iPad. Complaints about the app’s sluggishness or large ads should be tempered with the memory of how long people have clamored for the ability to watch Olympic events live, even in a tiny browser window. Full screen iPad videos, then, are a gift. Unfortunately, if you don’t subscribe to any of the supported cable plans, you’ll have to make do with the other NBC app and the official YouTube channel.

  Reuters Olympics London 2012

  by Thomson Reuters

  If the somewhat garish official apps become overwhelming, you can turn to Reuters London 2012 for a more relaxed, photo-oriented experience. The app is built around real time photos taken by Reuters journalists covering the Games. As might be expected, the photos are beautiful, dynamic, and look great on the iPhone or iPad’s screen, especially in photo stream mode. Reuters London 2012 is very well-designed, with an attractive interface that includes a schedule, results, medal count, notifications, world records, and even articles and social media related to the photo you’re viewing.

  Curly's pocket guide to sports.

  by WilsonFletcher

  When you inevitably find a sport you don't know in one of the apps, don't ignore it, because it could be a hidden gem like curling! Instead, turn to Curly’s Pocket Guide to Sports, an app that breaks down the rules, basics, and gameplay of nearly every Olympic event. Best of all, the text is clearly written, and the app’s bright colors and illustrations almost make reading the rules fun.

  Tweetbot for Twitter (iPhone & iPod touch)

  by Tapbots

  If you decide you want to share your newfound love of dressage or badminton, Twitter seems to be the platform of choice for these Olympics. NBC made the partnership official, and created an "events page" (#Olympics) to collect tweets from athletes, teams, and news organizations. Since Twitter is so intertwined with the Olympics this year, it behooves you to get a better Twitter client than the official app (if you don't have one already). The best Twitter client available for either device is Tweetbot, as it provides the best, most comprehensive Twitter experience.

  Office Jerk Summer Games Edition for iPad

  by Fluik

  At some point in your viewing, you’re going to get frustrated with a judge who seems blind, but Office Jerk Summer Games Edition (available for iPhone or iPad) has you covered! The Olympic Games version of the popular app lets you throw paper, hot dogs, and other objects at judges in an Olympic arena. The game can be repetitive, but it’s surprisingly satisfying to throw things at a judge, even a virtual one. I actually laughed out loud at what happens when you throw money at the judge (I won’t spoil it).

  Flipboard: Your Social News Magazine

  by Flipboard Inc.

  The Olypmics are long, and there are many hours of taped events, so it’s impossible to see everything. That’s where Flipboard comes in. The popular content aggregation app has released multiple Olympics-related curated sections, many of which focus on an individual sport. Flipboard’s clean interface is great for viewing visual content, which makes it the perfect way to stay up to date on everything.

Apple Comes Out With Three More ads.!

Pictures of Apples New Store in Barcelona

The unique construction barrier art in place at Apple's forthcoming Passeig de Gràcia retail store in Barcelona, Spain. The art, which consisted of tile mosaics using images of Apple iOS app icons and honoring the style of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, surrounded the store during the final phases of construction leading up to grand opening scheduled for this Saturday, July 28. 

With the grand opening just two days away and Apple making preparations to open the store for the media and then the public, the construction barriers have come down andCult of Mac has been able to shoot some photos through the windows of the new store. 



Despite the Gaudí-influenced signage promoting the store's opening, Apple appears to have maintained its usual style for the store itself, using its typical stone, wood, and metal finishes to create a clean, open feel inside the store. With three levels, the large store offers a full range of Apple products on display, as well as a large Genius Bar and a theater.

On the ground floor of the Barcelona Apple Store, about half of the available floor space is taken up with iPhone and iPad displays, spread across twelve tables in three rows. The other half of the floor is taken up by various models of MacBooks, with only a single table devoted to iMacs. 

Higher up, the glass staircase leads to the Genius Bar, as well as an in-house theater. 

In the basement is where Mac and iOS accessories are stored, which Apple retail employees are now hard at work filling the shelves.

1 Killed, 4 Injured, in Gas Leak at Apple Supplier Catcher Technology

One person has been killed and four others were injured after a gas leak occurred in a plant owned by Catcher Technology, a company that supplies products to Apple. Hydrogen sulfide gas leaked at the factory during “routine work,” The Wall Street Journal said Friday. Catcher Technology builds metal casings and Dell is also one of its customers.

Google beats Apple to the punch with 3D update to iOS Google Earth app today

Image CNET

Update: The Google Earth iOS app has now been updated to version 7.0.0 with the expected 3D imagery and Tour Guide feature.

What’s New in Version 7.0.0

• Tour guide: Explore places you never thought to search for with new tours of your favorite cities, historic landmarks and natural wonders.
• 3D imagery: Take flight above entire cities in 3D. Get started with Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, Geneva or Rome and look for new additions in the coming weeks. Available for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 or later.

About 12 percent of 9to5Mac readers are now on iOS 6 with Apple’s in-house 3D Maps. The larger population of iOS users, however, can only get a fix of 3D maps by heading to Google Earth, which today gets an update to 3D maps, according to CNET. The 3D maps for iOS were formerly announced at Google I/O last month, and it appears the feature will go live today.

Just like iOS Maps, the 3D stuff only works on recent hardware like the iPhone 4S and the second- and third-gen iPads. Meanwhile, 3D was enabled on Android Maps at Google I/O.

iOS users are getting those same 14 regions, including Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston and others. As Google adds more 3D cities to its database, both those platforms will get them at same time.

So just how soon will Google get some more 3D cities in its repertoire? It’s in the works says Peter Birch, a product manager on Google’s geo team.

Apple Launches OS X Mountain Lion via Mac App Store for $19.99

In line with yesterday's brief announcement that OS X Mountain Lion would debut today, Apple has officially launched its next-generation Mac operating system to the public. OS X Mountain Lion [Mac App Store] is priced at $19.99 and is available exclusively through the Mac App Store.

NASA Image Shows the Mayhem That Created Life on Earth

About 4.1 billion years ago, our solar system was a huge cluster of comets bombarding every planet orbiting the Sun and crashing into each other. That period of chaos is known as the Late Heavy Bombardment, and astronomers believe it was key to the formation of life in our planet.

For the first time ever, scientists using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have found a star system in which this is happening right now—just around the corner.

iPhone 4S - TV Ad - Busy Day

Here is another hilarious Tv ad from Apple.! :)

Australian airliner moves to iPhones for business, iPads for pleasure

Australian airline Qantas previously announced it is dropping BlackBerry in favor of Apple’s iPhone and issuing iPads to pilots, but now it is rolling out iPads to passengers to compliment a new in-flight entertainment streaming service.

Qantas is abandoning RIM due to a recently conducted employee survey that indicated airline staffers prefer Apple’s smartphone offering. CIO Paul Jones told The Sydney Morning Herald that the iPhone offers a “user-friendly interface and simple access to emails, contacts and calendars, as well as meeting all Qantas’ security requirements.”

Staff members can also carry Android devices under the airline’s bring-your-own-device policy. The move to Apple’s iPhone will save Qantas millions of dollars, as will transitioning to the iPad to replace costly paper in the cockpit, according to NewStraitTimes. The airline will dole 2,200 iPads to pilots to improve communication and cutback on printed charts and manuals. The 64Gb iPads with 3G will save the airline about $1.5 million annually.
