    Reuters reports that the iPhone 5 will begin production in July and ramp up for a September release. Apple typically holds a fall media event at the beginning of September to showcase its iPods. This would be the perfect place to showcase their new iPhone as well.

    The new smartphone will have a faster processor but will look largely similar to the current iPhone 4, one of the people said. They declined to be identified because the plans were not yet public.

    The companies would begin production either in July or August before shipping components to Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, flagship of Foxconn Technology Group, for assembly, they said.

    The next-generation iPhone is rumored to include the dual-core A5 processor and enhanced graphics as the one found in the iPad 2, possibly 64 GB of storage, a larger screen, a metal back, and new cloud-based functionality through Apple’s upcoming iOS 5. The upcoming WWDC Event Apple will probably be introducing iOS 5.

  • Apple Sues Samsung Over Galaxy Look & Feel

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, Gadgets, iPhone, News, Patents, Rants & Raves, Tech. 3 Responses

    The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has filed a lawsuit against Samsung over the “look and feel” of Samsung’s Galaxy series. The Galaxy series includes the popular Galaxy S smartphone line – Nexus S, Galaxy S 4G, Epic 4G – in addition to the Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet device.

    Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple’s technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products, the lawsuit said.

    Samsung supplies many flash components and the basis of Apple’s A4 and A5 processors, Samsung also manufactures RAM modules and display technology for Apple.

    Mobilized has this comment from Apple:

    “It’s no coincidence that Samsung’s latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad, from the shape of the hardware to the user interface and even the packaging,” an Apple representative told Mobilized. “This kind of blatant copying is wrong, and we need to protect Apple’s intellectual property when companies steal our ideas.”
