All the way across the pond in Vietnam a collection of photos of both of the two tipped imminent iPhone releases have appeared, both the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C in all their (dummy model) glory. These images appear through Tinh te, a publication notorious for such case-maker model leaks, and depict the iPhone […]

Receiptmate: No one save receipts anymore. We buy nearly everything either online or with a credit card, so since we basically have an electronic record of most of our purchases, it’s become too easy to toss any potential paper trail. But some of our payments are still made in cash, and if you really want to track your budget, you need to track it all. Receiptmate makes it easy. [$3]

This afternoon a new set of parts – and therefor clues – have arrived in the upstream iPhone parts market indicating a new color combination for the next-generation iPhone 5S. This device will be delivered with a body and set of specifications very similar to the iPhone 5, coming some time this year with what’s […]

According to a recent report by Chinese website VR-Zone, it has been suggested that Apple is looking to open a R&D center in Taiwan. The report is saying that the reason behind the R&D center’s opening is so that Apple will be able to come up with new ideas and features for its next-gen iPhone amongst other Apple-related products. While Taiwan might seem like an odd choice for some, it is because it would put Apple’s R&D team closer to the manufacturers and suppliers of some of the components that Apple uses in their products, with a good majority of it coming out from Asia.

The report states that Apple will be looking to hire new engineers and managers for its R&D center next month, and positions such as Hardware Development Engineers, Panel Process & Optics Engineers, Product Development Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Program Managers, Test Engineers, Software QA, Reliability Engineers, and more are expected to be filled. We guess it does make sense that Apple might want to be closer to their suppliers and component manufacturers, although somewhat ironic given that one of Apple’s partners, TSMC, has been rumored to open a chip fabrication plant in the US themselves.

T-Mobile was the last of the major carriers in the US to offer the iPhone on their network, which according to recent figures might have saved them 400,000 subscribers from defecting to other carriers which seems to be the case with carriers that do not carry the iPhone. At the moment T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 4, 4S, and the 5, which is pretty similar to the lineup by other carriers, but it looks like T-Mobile expects to carry other Apple products in the future as well thanks to a recent statement made by the carrier’s CEO, John Legere.

Speaking to the folks at AllThingsD, Legere was quoted as saying, “I think there’s a whole array of Apple products that we look forward to carrying […] We will expand what we offer from them.” While it is unclear as to what exactly he means by this, some have taken this to mean that T-Mobile could soon be offering up iPads as well, which is what carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint are doing at the moment, unless of course T-Mobile is hinting at some kind of future secret Apple product related to mobile (which we don’t think that’s the case). What do you guys think? Anyone interested in getting a 3G/4G iPad from T-Mobile?
