iPhone 5 Part Suggests Sliding Cover? (tech, news, leaked, preview, scoop, Auckland)

A 30-pin dock connector cable which claims to be a  prototype part for Apple’s  iPhone 5 has surfaced on the web once again. Along with it come fresh rumors and details of a sliding screen cover that could suggest a hardware keyboard. Which we’ve already had a rumor about before

These latest rumors come fresh from w.apple.pro who posted a photo they claim is from the iPhone 5. What it appears to be is a 30-pin dock connector and the ribbon used to attach it inside of Apple’s handset. It’s labeled 821-1300-02 HF/c1.

You’ll need to translate the page to make any sense of it but it claims that reports of the 4 inch edge-edge screen that we’ve had to date are fake. This would also contradict the iPhone 5 part showing a 4 inch screen we came across

Instead, they claim the iPhone 5 will have a “sliding cover” and will have the same frame shape as the current iPhone 4, but will be “slightly thicker” than the current gen iPhone.

While the translation does not specifically indicate a sliding cover would involve a physical keyboard, it’s hard to see what else it could be.

It’s unlike Apple to want to include more buttons on their devices so I struggle to believe this one.

On the other hand, apple.pro have been accurate in the past with their Apple parts. The correctly had the new screen for the iPod nano before it was announced, along with the iPhone 4 battery, white cover as well as new Macbook bodies, so they could have something here.

Hmm what do you guys think a sliding cover could be? A keyboard?

Let us know below!

Cheaper iPhone In The Works According to Tim Cook

We’ve had rumors of a cheaper iPhone coming along before, and now Apple COO Tim Cook has gone and hinted at the smae thing. After having a little chat with Forbes, he somewhat confirmed rumors of the smaller, weaker and cheaper iPhone 5 that’s in development

Cook claims that Apple was “not ceding any market” and doesn’t want its products to be “just for the rich.” Which would be a wise move by Apple has currently the iPhone is easily one of the most expensive smartphones out there.

In addition to that, the article he “appeared to reaffirm the notion that Apple is likely to develop lower priced offerings.”

Maybe this could be the iPhone Nano we’ve heard whispers about. Or it could be a cheaper lower spec iPhone 5 aimed at the pay as you go market?  But just to reconfirm, Tim Cook doesn’t specifically say that Apple is, but he certainly hints towards saying that it’s Apples “strategy”

Who knows, we’ll just have to wait and see for now.

Whitney Houston’s Daughter is a Fan of Cocaine

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, is featured in the new issue of the National Enquirer. The 18-year-old is allegedly addicted to cocaine, and the pullquote reads,”I’m just like my mother.” Pictures of “Krissi,” as she is known to her friends, show her surrounded by lines of cocaine at two different parties. As you may recall, she was admitted to a psychiatric ward in 2008 after trying to kill herself. The mag claims she “smokes marijuana, guzzles beer and gets smashed on Everclear.” The source on all this, is, of course, a former boyfriend. He claims he’s trying to save her life; we suspect he made a pretty penny off of sharing the pix.

She then went on her twitter to respond:

The pictures_ a former very dear person to me did this. Set me up to make it look exactly what it looks like. God will smite them yes..But it’s really not what it looks like.. People will do anything for money which is extremely sad, and I’m very hurt by this.Thing’s people do these days to hurt others is a shame. All I can do now, is keep my head up high, keep looking towards the lord.All the lord is telling me is be still. That’s all, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. #BeStill.
I love my family so much. My mom just comforted me to the max, and I’m so thankful for her. Thank you so much lord for blessing me with an Phenomenal family and incredibly phenomenal mother. Thank you for giving me the strength to move forward and put things in the past.
And the person that did this was a result of a horrible relationship that went sour. I was in love_ he was in love with money. I’ve learned My lesson. I’m so much greater and blessed for it today, and I believe nothing less. That is the last I will speak of this, let’s praise god And be greatful and thankful for your family, and people that truly love you, strength, courage, and life lessons learned. GodblessUall

Seriously woman, it’s twitter, keep it simple and under 120 characters. This would have sufficed:“OMG YOU GUUUUUUYZZZ!! I dnt do it! shitty ex-BF! #winning #tigerblood”

But she’s not fooling us, she’s the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, of course she does cocaine.
