New Proof for A Cheaper iPhone

Under the pressure of Samsung and other android smartphones, Apple needs to sell more iPhones. Despite posting a record-breaking quarter, investors still want more.
After the rumors about cheaper iPhone may be released later 2013 and lower price iPhone will have brand new design with a 4-inch Retina Display, a new proof for a cheaper iPhone is here.
Tom’s Hardware has revealed a patent for a plastic iPhone with no home button.
The patent is specifically for,

        A light isolating protective cover for small form factor electronic device…that has a rear facing camera assembly and a front facing   display assembly that includes at least a protective cover layer…

The patent was filed in February 2012 but was awarded just last month.
Apple has denied releasing a cheaper iPhone so this is just a rumor now but it falls right in line with other news we’ve been hearing.

The irony of the Apple-Google battle: They’re rivals despite having entirely different goals

From BGR.com

By now you’ve probably heard about the mini-backlash that’s ensued over Apple’s botched Maps implementation on iOS 6 after it decided to ditch Google Maps earlier this year. But anyone paying attention to the Apple-Google rivalry shouldn’t be surprised that Apple would flop in its first attempt at creating a maps application that’s traditionally been Google’s bread and butter. After all, Apple and Google have two entirely different business models and strategies, and the two companies find themselves competing despite, not because of, those models.

Let’s start with Apple’s strategy because it’s relatively straightforward. Apple basically wants consumers to fall in love with every aspect of Apple hardware and software, and it wants people to make Apple computers, smartphones, tablets and music players central to their everyday lives. In case you haven’t noticed, the company is extremely good at this, as its hardware is consistently lighter, thinner and more attractive than its rivals and its operating systems are amazingly smooth and pain-free, especially when compared with Windows-based devices.

Google is a different animal entirely. Its goal is not to peddle hardware or to even software per se, but to instead focus relentlessly on improving the Internet, both from a performance and an access perspective. Google’s revenue model is simple: The more clicks its sites and its partner sites get, the more money it makes from advertisements. And the best way to ensure that its sites keep getting clicks is to make sure more people have access to high-speed Internet service that delivers content quickly and efficiently.

This is why Google pushed out Android as an open-source operating system: It wanted to expand access to the mobile web so consumers have more opportunities to click on Google sites, and the millions of sites that run Google’s ads, even when they weren’t sitting at their desktops. Similarly, Google decided to build out Google Fiber as a way to spur incumbent ISPs to build out faster networks that would result in more use of Google products. And yes, it’s the same story with Chrome: Google figured out that more people would use its sites if they had access to a high-performance Web browser.

What to expect from the iPhone 5

The worst-kept secret in the consumer electronics industry is finally about to become the biggest smartphone launch of the year — Apple is unveiling the iPhone 5 on Wednesday. We’ve seen it in photos, we’ve seen it on video, and now we’ll finally see the full picture painted on stage in San Francisco later this week. Estimates suggest Apple could sell 5.5 million or more iPhone 5 handsets during its debut weekend, and everyone seems to agree it will be the biggest consumer electronics launch of all time. There are plenty of things Apple’s next-generation iPhone won’t fix, but let’s take a look at what we can expect from the iPhone 5.

A brand new design. The iPhone 5 might resemble the iPhone 4 and 4S in terms of broad-stroke design and styling, but compressing the iPhone’s guts into a 7.6-millimeter case was no easy task. The entire iPhone 5 will be reworked and will feature a sleek new unibody aluminum case, a modified antenna design and a variety of new internal components.

A bigger display. As the line between smartphones and flat-panel televisions continues to blur, Apple conceded to an extent this year and the new iPhone will sport a larger 4-inch display panel. Will the new bigger display actually have a positive impact on the user experience? We’re not so sure.

New mini dock connector. Apple has been widely criticized for using a proprietary dock connector and the company is finally ready to make a change — to a new proprietary dock connector. The iPhone 5′s slim profile would have been impossible to achieve with the old connector, so get ready to toss the docks and stands from your old iPhone into the trash. Chargers and some other access should continue to work thanks to an adapter from Apple, however.

4G LTE. It looks like the latest generation of LTE components are finally in a place where Apple can implement them without sacrificing too much in terms of battery life. As BGR reported this past July and The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, the iPhone 5 will include LTE connectivity.

More RAM. More memory means better performance and as we reported in July, Apple will finally double the RAM in its next-generation iPhone to 1GB.

Better processor. As is only logical, Apple’s next iPhone will include a more powerful processor. It is unclear if it will be the rumored quad-core A6 chipset or some modified version of Apple’s dual-core A5X SoC from the iPad, but it should be a solid upgrade either way.

Nano-SIM support. Apple’s influence on the global mobile industry will again be illustrated when it launches the iPhone 5 with nano-SIM support. The industry will proceed to adopt the new nano-SIMs, and it will be the second time in as many years that Apple forced a radical shift in the SIM card standard after it remained unchanged for nearly 20 years.

NFC? Near-field Communication in the next-generation iPhone seemed all but certain a few weeks ago but recent rumors suggest we might have to wait until next year for Apple’s iPhone to get NFC.

Launch timing. Rumors have varied but the most solid reports to date suggest that iPhone 5 preorder availability will begin on Wednesday this week, the same day Apple unveils the new iPhone, and we can reportedly expect the iPhone 5 to launch on September 21st.

What else can we look forward to on Wednesday? Recent rumors point to new iPods and although it seems odd that Apple would clutter up its mobile event with new PCs, rumors point to a September or October launch for new iMacs and a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with a Retina display. As such, we may see them announced this week as well.

Be sure to tune in at 1:00 p.m. EDT, 10:00 a.m. PDT this Wednesday for all the news as it breaks. Now, is everyone ready for some iPhone 5S rumors?
