Crazy rumor suggests Apple will announce new iPhone on August 7th

Posted: 13 Jul 2012 03:25 PM PDT

Last year, Apple changed the refresh cycle of its most popular product, the iPhone. Instead of introducing a new model in the summer, like it had done in previous years, it waited all the way until October to unveil the 4S.

The consensus of the tech world, along with common sense, says that we can expect a similar schedule this time around. But a new report is out today, claiming that Apple will reveal its next smartphone on August 7th…(...)

Posted: 13 Jul 2012 01:15 PM PDT

The rumor mill has been pretty active this week, coughing up more information regarding Apple’s next smartphone. In the last few days, we’ve seen not one, but two sets of pictures of purported engineering samples for the unreleased handset.

With that, it seems like the evidence is really piling up in favor of the taller, two-tone iPhone design that first surfaced back in May. And apparently that’s enough for accessory-makers, who are already churning out large batches of next-gen iPhone cases…(...)

Russian hacker cracks iOS in-app purchasing, no jailbreak required

Posted: 13 Jul 2012 07:00 AM PDT

iOS in-app purchasing mechanism which lets you buy digital items in games, upgrade to full versions of apps and purchase additional content, has been cracked by a savvy Russian hacker who posted a proof of concept video, embedded below.

First noticed by Russian blog i-ekb.ru (via 9to5Mac), the hack is credited to Russian developer ZonD80 who runs the conveniently named In-AppStore.com website where he collects donations to support development of the project.

What’s special about this method – and potentially devastating to the development community - is that it doesn’t require a jailbreak and can be completed in a few simple steps by even the most inexperienced users.
