Currently there are three mystical Apple products that have hold of the Internet's attention: iPhone 6, iPad 3, and iTV.

Before you get too excited, realize one thing - this is a rumor. It comes from one of our sources who has been correct in the past. Thanks to him we knew when the white iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S were going to be launched. In both instances, he was correct. That being said, he informs me of the latest whisperings with a side of caution. The source is... Read more » Macs shouldn’t have touch screens
A new Apple patent was published today, and it's been making headlines because it hints at the possible inclusion of a touch-enabled display in future Mac computers. Now, the patent doesn't actually mention a computer specifically, instead it focuses on the the implications of optimizing the Mac OS X software for a touch-based input method. According to Patently... Read more » Rumor: iPhone 5 will be unveiled at WWDC in June
A short, sharp and precise speculative post was published today over at Commercial Times, a Chinese news site (via DigiTimes). Apple is expected to unveil its iPhone 5 smartphone at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) to be held in June 2012, the Chinese-language Commercial Times quoted Daiwa Securities as indicating.

Macotakara, a Japanese Apple blog with sources "near the supply chain" adds a little more detail to its speculation last month regarding an iPad 3 launch. Last we heard from the site, Apple was planning a launch event for the iPad 3 in February - perhaps to celebrate Steve Jobs' birthday. It seems now that the information was incorrect. The site now reports... Read more » New Apple patent for universal remote suggests iTV may not be far off
A new Apple patent has surfaced with details on a new universal remote concept.

Someone in possession of an iPad 3 prototype has sent some information to BGR about what we can expect from the next-gen tablet... well, allegedly. The photos in question aren't actually pics of the device, but up-close picture of the screen displaying information about the device in a development and debug tool called iBoot. What information is in these... Read more » The new iPod Nano might have a camera… again
I think it's safe to say that, on the whole, Apple creates some pretty awesome products. But that doesn't mean the company is perfect... take, for example, the current generation iPod Nano. I will never understand who thought it was a good idea to remove the camera, the click wheel and the iconic look of the iPod Nano in favor of a touch-enabled square that,...

There is a new rumor floating around about Foxconn today, and for a change it is some good news. Allegedly, they plan to open five more factories, each employing 1000 workers, in Brazil. This not only means jobs, but it also means that iPad production is ramping up. Officials from Foxconn and the Brazilian government will reportedly meet following the Chinese... Read more » Rumor: iPhone 5 to have mobile wallet, Apple “heavy into NFC”
An interesting story popped up over at 9to5Mac today regarding the future of mobile wallets and contact-less payment systems. NFC itself has almost become a non-entity, in that, it hasn't become a huge success on mobile phones to date. The Nexus S showboated it as a huge feature, but the lack of merchant support made it almost redundant. As of yet, it's not made a... Read more »
