More iPhone Rumors Over Announcement of WWDC
It seems there is never a shortage of rumors flying around geared towards the new iPhone. With the WWDC recently announced, rumors have begun to swing in full force.
According to some sources, the iPhone will be longer and thinner than any of the previous iPhone models.
"Approximate measurements are 125 mm by 58.5 mm by 7.4 mm - a 10 mm jump in height, nearly 2 mm reduction in thickness, and virtually identical width," an anonymous source told iLounge.
It is also said that the new iPhone will use Gorilla Class 2 which is thinner than the original Gorilla class. The screen size is also rumor to be increasing from 3.5 inches to 4.
Timing over the launch also remains much of a mystery. Some have suggested that Apple will return to its regular iPhone schedule - most of the smartphones have been announced at WWDC in the summer. Others feel like it's too soon, as the iPhone 4S was only launched in October 2011.

Apple Announces The iPad 3 Dubbed “The new iPad”
Apple announced it's new iPad, the 3rd generation Apple tablet that has sparked many interests. While almost an entirely new device the pricing will remain the same. The pricing still starts at $499 for a 16GB Wi-Fi model, with 4G starting at $629.
Additionally, Apple has announced that there will be an increase the iPad's screen resolution to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels that exceeds any current tablet or laptop. The tablet's glass and aluminum construction is still 9.5 inches tall and 7.31 inches wide. Thickness is now 0.37 inch, weighing in at 1.5 pounds. You get the same home button on the bottom of the screen, and a volume rocker on the right side along with the mute switch/rotation lock. Up top you have the sleep/wake button and headphone output, and the bottom edge retains the 30-pin port.
The iPad's processor has been upgraded to an A5X. While the CPU remains dual-core, the graphics processor has been beefed up to quad-core.
This seems to be a necessary measure for juggling four times the pixels of the previous model.
As expected, the new iPad is Apple's first 4G device, delivering faster loading speeds and making email with large attachments sent and received easily. The new tablet can also be used as personal hotspot to share its network connection with up to five other devices using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB.
Customers can begin pre-ordering the new iPads starting from Wednesday. According to Apple, the new models will be available on March 16 in the United States, as well as in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, China's Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Switzerland, Britain and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
