Apple’s next iPhone to feature brand new design according to leak

After the flurry of rumors that swept blogs and the media ahead of Apple’s iPhone 4S unveiling last year, reports have slowed significantly as the world awaits Apple’s sixth-generation iPhone launch. The pace is likely to pick up as production nears, however, and a leaked part said to be destined for inclusion in Apple’s next-generation iPhone again points to a redesign. Described as a “Earphone Jack/ Ear Speaker/ WIFI Cable For iPhone 5,” sw-box.com recently added a new iPhone component to its site that is unlike anything included in a previous-generation iPhone model. While the presence of reworked internal components increase the likelihood of a redesigned case for Apple’s next iPhone, nothing conclusive regarding the new model’s external design can be ascertained. Numerous reports have suggested that the next iPhone will feature a unibody aluminum case, 4G LTE compatibility and a larger display, though some suggest the sixth iPhone will retain the 3.5-inch panel used in the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. BGR reported late last year that Apple will launch a completely redesigned iPhone with a new antenna system this fall.

Baidu introducing new Cloud OS next week, purported device pictures leak

Purported Baidu Cloud device leak

Last year Chinese search engine Baidu announced its own fork of Android called Yi, and the company is now readying the next iteration of the mobile operating system, called simply Baidu Cloud. Reuters spoke with the company’s head of mobile, Wang Jing, who stated that the company has “a few partnerships coming up and will announce it in a week.” Adding fuel to the fire, Sina Tech reports that several images of an unidentified smartphone briefly appeared on the Sina Weibo account of the company’s mobile director Yue Guofeng before being pulled. The images show a phone that looks like a colorful, four-button riff on Nokia’s Lumia line, which Sina Tech says will feature a 3.5-inch screen, 100GB of cloud storage, and a Siri-like voice…

Twitter investigating giant password leak, suggests it may be much ado about nothing

It looked like a massive breach: yesterday, a tremendous list of over 56,000 Twitter IDs and passwords were set loose on the internet. Today, Twitter has confirmed a leak and says it’s actively investigating, but a company spokesperson says the impact may not be as big as you’d expect. According to Twitter, a huge number of those IDs appear to be duplicates of one another, others are accounts that were already suspended for spamming, and many of the passwords seem to be wholly incorrect. That statement seems to line up with what we’re seeing, too.

While that’s small comfort if your account was among those whose password was leaked, and doesn’t actually explain the apparent breach, we haven’t seen or heard proof that active users have had…

Ubisoft: Rayman Legends leak is real, ‘purely internal demonstrative video’

It would be hard to believe the Rayman Legends video leaked this morning was anything but real, but Ubisoft removed any lingering doubt today. The company issued a statement (excerpted by VG247) confirming the existence of the game. Of course, it’s not final.

The leaked video was “intended as a purely internal demonstrative video, and in NO way represents the final game, the final console or their features,” Ubisoft said, referring to the game as “Rayman Origins’ sequel.” The video was meant for “internal production teams who often create game prototypes with work in progress development kits.” In other words, it was a demonstration for the people working on the game, not a demonstration of the game.

The upside of this leak is that we can now issue feedback to the team working on the actual game, in the form of this open statement: Hey, that footage looked great. Make the game look like that.

Redesigned next-generation iPhone parts leak to Chinese vendor

To start off what will undoubtedly be a long series of part leaks ahead of Apple’s next-generation iPhone launch, China-based parts retailer TVC-Mall has made what it claims to be “iPhone 5″ home buttons available for purchase on its site. “Are you interested in the iPhone 5 which will come out soon?” the company wrote on its website. “Different from iPhone 4S 4, the iPhone 5 home button is round in the centre and square outside as the pictures show.” The home buttons are available for purchase in both black and white, and no other information regarding the next-generation iPhone was made available. TVC-Mall has sold authentic iPhone parts ahead of official Apple launches in the past. BGR reported last December that Apple plans to launch a redesigned iPhone this coming fall.

Canon plays down 5D Mark III light leak issue, will provide free camera ‘inspections’

Gallery Photo: Canon EOS 5D Mark III hands-on photos

Canon has completed its promised investigation into the light leak issue reportedly plaguing the new 5D Mark III. Some users have complained that keeping the top LCD panel’s backlight on can affect the automatic exposure in low light situations, but the company has found that while the displayed exposure value may indeed be affected, the actual captured image itself will not. In short, your camera should still be exposing pictures correctly, but you might need to be confident of your settings — the screen may not be giving you trustworthy information.

We’re not convinced that this will prove satisfactory to Canon’s customers, however, and if you’re convinced that your hardware is faulty the company is offering to perform inspections…

Galaxy S III: latest alleged leak not accurate, name still unconfirmed; tightest security ‘ever’ for a Samsung launch

samsung next galaxy invite

The Verge has learned from a source familiar with Samsung’s plans that the latest images claiming to be of the long-rumored Galaxy S III — first posted by Gizmodo Brasil — are not correct. They are on the right track, though: Samsung is using what are described as “generic test boxes” to put the next Galaxy model’s internals through quality checks, presumably to allow employees to use the phones off of company premises without being spotted. We’re being told that Gizmodo‘s images are of one of those dummy boxes. “That’s not even close to the final design,” we’re told. “No leaks of the final design have been accurate.”

“No leaks of the final design have been accurate.”

Our source tells us that security surrounding the preparation and…

HTC Incredible 4G images and details purportedly leak: ICS and Verizon LTE

HTC Incredible 4G leaked images from Android Police

Verizon tried to spice up the HTC Droid Incredible 2 with a splash of color last November, but information about the phone’s proper successor, the Incredible 4G, may have made its way online. Android Police has a set of pictures and alleged details on the Android device, which is said to feature a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera, and support for Verizon’s LTE network. The site’s tipster was not able to measure the screen, though it’s estimated to be a 4-inch display with qHD resolution. NFC, MHL, and Ice Cream Sandwich with Sense 4 are also said to be onboard, and though the device will feature Beats support, it will reportedly not ship with a pair of Beats-branded headphones — matching recent…

Best Buy leak shows ICS delay for Droid RAZR, RAZR Maxx; April 6th update for HTC Rezound

Gallery Photo: Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx review pictures

Last week an alleged Best Buy leak indicated that Ice Cream Sandwich would be coming to three Verizon phones this week: the Droid RAZR and RAZR Maxx on April 4th, and the HTC Rezound on April 6th. Obviously, the first date has come and gone with no update for either Droid device, and Android Police has a new purported leak from the retailer that indicates the update has indeed been delayed. April 6th is still listed as the planned release date for the Rezound over-the-air update, but we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to know for sure. Unfortunately for owners of the RAZR devices, no updated release date is provided.

Best Buy leak shows Droid RAZR, RAZR Maxx and HTC Rezound getting Android 4.0 next week

htc rezound

Is Ice Cream Sandwich out yet? Well, it might be available for your Verizon Droid RAZR, RAZR Maxx or Rezound next week, according to a leaked document obtained by Android Police. You can see a picture of a Best Buy Mobile terminal in the picture below, and those dates are as clear as can be: April 4th is when the mobile phone retailer believes the Motorola RAZR and RAZR Maxx will get an over-the-air Android 4.0 update, and the HTC Rezound is allegedly scheduled for that update on April 6th. If true, that’s great news for Rezound owners, who weren’t sure when they might get their tasty frozen treat after last month’s delay, but probably no comfort to Droid Bionic users, who were promised an update five months ago and still have no idea…
