Case-Mate shows off iPhone 5 cases, pulls the page shortly after

By Allyson Kazmucha, Thursday, Sep 15, 2011 a 2:55 pm

Case-Mate published a page today featuring iPhone 5 case designs and pulled it just shortly after. If the case designs are the real deal we may be seeing an overhauled design for the iPhone 5 after all.

Case-Mate recently claimed to have inside info regarding the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S. (Which we are still a bit skeptical about.) As we get closer to an announcement we typically see a lot of case leaks but they don't typically come from a manufacturer as reputable as Case-Mate.

BGR: No iPhone OS Updates Recently Because it Would Reveal Tablet Info?

By Rene Ritchie, Wednesday, Jan 13, 2010 a 10:44 am

The Boy Genius claims, based on info from a source who's proven reliable before, that we haven't gotten an iPhone OS update recently (oh, hai still missing iPhone 3.2!) because:

How Should Apple Handle App Store Demos?

By Rene Ritchie, Monday, Feb 9, 2009 a 7:44 am

There are no demos available in the App Store, we know this. No try before you buy, no download now, pay later. According to Erica Sadun at Ars Technica, even mentioning demo in your verbiage, like beta, will get you a swift kick in the rejection button. Free "Lite" versions are the only way to go.

Zach Epstein over on the Boy Genius Report wonders out loud why Apple, in its infinite usability, can't create a mechanism where Apps get downloaded free, and then expire after a short period of time unless you decide to buy and keep them.
