by Mike Macias 08.23.2011

It seems every week a new development in the mobile industry dominates tech news headlines. Today the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple will release the iPhone 5 on 3 major US carriers in mid-October. AT&T, Verizon, and surprise player Sprint are on the list to carry the iPhone 5. It comes as a surprise to me that Sprint is included right off the bat but I see it as a good thing for the entire industry.

If you’ve been hesitant to jump on the smartphone bandwagon because of the price of these devices well you might want to check out this deal.

iPad2: An indication of what to expect on the next-gen iPhone?

by Timi Cantisano 03.11.2011

Its rare that The Mobile Fanatics will dive into rumor territory but with the release of the iPad2 I felt that this hardware platform would give us the best insight of what to expect from Apple when the new iPhone is released this summer. Let’s begin with the obvious: A5 Dual-core processor Video Mirroring (HDMI) Larger internal storage up to 64gb Slimmer Simultaneous release on ATT and Verizon Available in white on launch Now for the more trickier things like will they release the iPhone in the same body design?
