Rumors have emerged this morning that Apple is looking to replace the physical Home Button on the iPhone 5 with a capacitive button on the iPhone 5S.

If Apple’s new job listings are to be believed, a new version of iWork is coming for iOS and OS X. Apple’s website currently has eight job listings related to a new version of iWork, and many deal with quality of the product, meaning that the Cupertino company could be close to testing an early version of iWork. According to one of the…
Last week it was reported that Pegatron was going on a massive job push, attempting to add up to 40,000 new members of staff to its production line this summer.
