    If Digitimes is to be believed, a new report comes this time to reiterate the story of Apple’s budget iPhone, the new entry-level device is said to feature a plastic chassis, rather than metal or reinforced glass. This comes as a way to cut cost for the hardware pricy parts.

    According to the report, the new iPhone will have its internal components visible due to a “special design.”

    However, other rumors are circulating that the entry-level iPhone will adopt a chassis mixed with plastic and metal, with the internal metal parts being able to be seen from outside through special design, the sources noted.

    Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg recently reported that Apple is working on a cheaper iPhone to launch in 2013 in a retail prices of $99 to $149.

    Scary Movie 5 Official Movie Trailer

    I’m a big fan of the Scary Movie franchise, but this time it seems the fifth installment and a reboot actually didn’t get it right at least without Cindy and Brenda.

    Watch the first trailer below for Scary Movie 5 which spoofs movies like Paranormal Activity, Inception and Black Swan:

    The movie stars Ashley Tisdale, Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen, Molly Shannon, Terry Crews, Heather Locklear, Kate Walsh, Mike Tyson, Katt Williams and more. Here’s the synopsis,

    Snooty, aloof, imperious, and oversexed French dance company director Pierre is putting on a new production. Jody (Tisdale), a Caucasian late-20s mother of two and her late-20s African American friend Kendra (Ash) are both vying for the lead in the production. Jody’s extremely controlling former dancer mother is determined that Jody will have the brilliant career that eluded her. The highly skilled mid-30s Diva veteran dancer with the company, Heather Daltry (Shannon), gets cut from the production and goes berserk.

    Scary Movie 5 hits theaters on April 12th, 2013
