What we're seeing here is an information source that points us toward a launch of the next iPhone well within the bounds of predictability with Apple's past launches and suggests a couple extra doozies we can just as easily dismiss as believe outright. The report seems to have been delivered to TechCrunch where their source says they've got information so specific, it's like nothing a source of their caliber has had before. Read The Full Story
