Yesterday we reported that thanks to @evleaks, the codenames of several devices were revealed, one of them being the HTC Z4. Unfortunately codenames being what they are, it doesn’t exactly tell us what sort of device to expect – could […]

One of the ways Apple markets its iPhone devices is not by placing the emphasis on its hardware specs, but rather its features. However with Android manufacturers aggressively marketing hardware specs, we’re sure many are curious as to how iPhones […]

We’ve been hearing that Google will release a new version of the Nexus 7 in July for some time now
| |
It appears that the rumored sequel to the Nexus 7 is close at hand, according to internal documents sent to us by an anonymous tipster. Apparently, the new device will be sold in stores alongside the current iteration (at first, at least, though we can’t be certain if this will only be until existing stock runs out). The docs indicate that stores will receive the tablet as early as the 20th, though we wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t see it until the 24th or later, given Google’s product event on that date. This particular model being discussed is the 32GB version, but we’re not certain if it will be available in 16GB as well or if it’s just not going to be offered at this specific outlet. We’ll update you as we learn more about it, but it’s pretty clear that next week’s announcement will be rather significant.
Update: According to a shot of an inventory screen sent in by our tipster, the retail price for the 32GB model is set at $269.99.
Update 2: A tipster sent in photos of the alleged device to Android Central. While we can’t know for sure that this is the exact same tablet that we expect to see next week — it could simply be a prototype, for instance — it at least looks quite feasible. There’s a pair of pictures after the break.
iPhone 5S rumors are beginning to swell up as news that production is starting this month has been making the rounds. Unconfirmed leaked shots of iPhone 5S components have made their way online, as has the specs of the new device. Essentially, the phone won’t look any different from the iPhone 5 from what we see of the leaked photos, but there’s going to be quite a bit of new features in the new phone.
It’s said that the iPhone 5S will be rocking a 4-inch 1136×640 IGZO display, made by either Sharp or LG. The phone will also be equipped with NFC and a fingerprint scanner for security and privacy purposes. We also may be seeing a 12-megapixel rear camera on the iPhone 5S, complete with a dual LED flash.
As for the performance hardware, it’s rumored that we’ll see the same A6 chip that is in the iPhone 5, but at a higher clock with improved quad-core technology, as well as improved LTE. There’s also said to be 2GB of RAM and a larger battery this time around. Hopefully the power-savings of the IGZO display and the larger battery will give users a much longer battery life than the previous generation.
None of this sounds too far-fetched (except maybe for the fingerprint scanner), but we’re taking all this with a grain of salt. Of course, we would love to see the iPhone 5S come with these upgrades, and from what we’ve heard, the iPhone 5S will be the biggest jump taken with an iPhone that has an “S” on the end, so it seems there’s a lot to look forward to.
It was rumored earlier this week that production of the iPhone 5S is starting this month, with an official launch coming later in the fall in either September or October. This wouldn’t be too surprising if true, but the prediction comes from Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Misek, who hasn’t been too accurate with his predictions in the past.

Yesterday we reported that according to rumors, the iPhone 5S could face supply constraints at the beginning due to poor fingerprint scanner yields, although now a new report has suggested that the iPhone 5S could instead be pushed to 2014 […]
