OK, I called it [URL=http://forums.appleinsider.com/t/181908/purported-iphone-6-render-shows-sub-1mm-rear-camera-lens-protrusion#post_2581961]here[/URL]. It's obvious now that the small strips at the top and bottom are recessed, so that the protrudi…

The lens may protrude slightly from the surface it emerges from, but it's not obvious to me that that surface (the upper strip above the plastic radio-window band) isn't recessed by the same amount from the rest of the back. Would this allow signals…

Apple pays 3 Gigabucks for the most successful headphone business in the world, and everybody bitches and moans about what a stupid idea it is. Ballmer pays 2 Gb for the losingest team in basketball...yawn!

Wrong tab—sorry!

So anybody else have the attention span to remember, back in the rounded-plastic-back days of the iPhone 3G and 3GS, how everybody was all hot and bothered about the sintered alumina they were going to replace that with? Now it's crystalline alumina…

Even after all these years, you still get these morons who compare the latest egregious ads from Samsung or whoever with the "I'm a Mac; I'm a PC" ads. Since I cannot understand how anyone's brain could be wired so differently from that of a normal …

And now that I wrote that, I'm not so sure. Introducing the "2015 model" when it's still 2014 just seems to clash with Apple's style. Well we'll soon know.

Relic has been earning her pay pretty well for a while now, but she's dropping the ball lately. For a purported expert on all the tech that's better than Apple, (which is all of it) and what's wrong with every Apple product, (everything) to say she…

As TheOtherGeoff pointed out in post 19, Apple could, technically, offer voice service over VOIP at any time—the only holdup would be not wanting to anger the carriers or possibly non-compete clauses (which will expire sometime). What if the 5.5"…

^^^ None of that means I think the iPhone will have a sapphire display anytime soon, if ever.

I will respect Andysol's request and not quote the idiot upstairs, but I have to say again that this stuff about a display not being sapphire because it was scratched by sandpaper is totally ridiculous. First, sharp grains of any material will ha…

I don't personally believe that the iPhone will have a "sapphire" display—not this year at least. However: that panel being scratched by sandpaper is by no means proof that it's not. It's quite possible for sharp grains of material to scratch smoot…
