Apple Apple Apple Everywhere!

Well, this is not about the fruit Apple, instead it is about the world's most valued (Market Cap wise) company, called Apple Inc.

Its official, Apple's upcoming Sept. 12 event, as events of Apple near their airing date, people start losing their mental stability and probably you as reader of this post are one of those hundreds of thousands of people who have already decided to queue outside Apple stores from Sept. 11 midnight in various parts of the world, without even actually knowing if the new iPhone is going to be made available from Sept 12 onwards, or is Sept. 12 only the date of announcement.

Its crazy how Apple is taking on a ride everyone with so many rumours about upcoming iPhone 5 (so called worst kept secret in the history of Apple so far).

People seem to really get crazy and nitty gritty about the upcoming event and after having had a recent look at CNet's AppleByte, they have made a whole RAP song on Apple's senior executives like Tim Cook, Scott Forstall, Phil schiller, etc.

There are so many alleged iPhone photos and people like Brian Tong of Cnet are busy trying to decode what the flyer for upcoming Apple event showing "12" with some shadow below it that Brian says looks like making a "5" is all about. May be I am getting stupid at it, but what's there to decode in it? there is less than a week to go for the event, don't we have anything else to move on till the event date comes up?

Tons of photos of the repair site iResQ demonstrate that the new iPhone is going to have a two tone design and Apple is going to throw away the rear glass (probably Apple has learnt about the dropping tests of iPhone, the way the glass completely smashes away!)

But then there are also rumours that these all photos are of a chinese phone called GooPhone. Although several reports and google search results claim that GooPhone i5, the so called Chinese iPhone 5 is actually a leaked version of iPhone 5 prototype. And as usual, there may be some more legal suits against Apple or against Chinese phone maker. Who knows whats true? (Heck! why can't we just wait and watch?)

There are also videos on chinese website vgooo.com of the alleged next gen iPhone 5 with same boot screen as current iPhone, however as the phone boots it shows "We are unable to complete you", doesn't that show that someone has forcefully tried to install iOS on a non Apple phone and so the phone actually suffered a failed boot up? Well undoubtedly it does seem a dodgy video completely released with a thought of attracting visitors and making some money along side getting some popularity.

Another feature we humans including Brian Tong of Cnet (mobile phone users actually) are really getting crazy about is the wireless charging feature as shown by recently launched Nokia Lumia 920 a Windows Phone.

Brian says this seems to be a big deal in coming years especially with businesses like Airports, Virgin Atlantic, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and so on… However, who really cares about it? I mean, there are tons of ways to charge a phone without a electricity outlet, every Aircraft these days has a USB port where in you can plug in your USB charger and let your phone and other gadgets charge, and if not Airplanes, I am sure you guys are aware of XPalPower like stuff, that lets to carry electronic charge for your gadgets.

Another thing, again that may be valid if Apple goes for smaller dock connectors is, according to iLounge, Apple is to be the sole maker of the Dock connector Adapters, this may mean, Apple is saying, go My way or the High Way, so we would need to buy only Apple branded dock connectors in case our original dock connector goes bad! Clearly Apple here wants to limit competition, but again, small local manufacturers do end up making duplicate connectors, especially the road side phone repair shops, etc try to invent new cheaper stuff which costs less to make but sells at a good enough price getting them some nice profit. Well everyone, including the roadside mobile repair man wants a share of Apple's success..

On the other hand, this might also upset existing Apple users who are used to those 30-pin dock connectors. And so all there old accessories, portable speakers, etc may not be any more usable on the new iPhone 5 which is like to adopt a smaller 19-pin dock connector.

Anyways, who knows whats exactly going to be true? Apple might just come up with a different type of Micro-USB charger simply to be one of the crowd and get more flexibility when it comes to connecting Apple iPhone to various devices like Laptop, etc.

A report from Apple Insider, also says, Apple's alleged 9-pin dock connector may be of the same size as Micro-USB

So lets simply wait and watch and see what is Apple upto rather than getting hyper about the rumours surrounding Apple.
