Report: iPhone 5 to be a dual-mode 'world phone'

Apple's upcoming iPhone 5 will support access to both CDMA and GSM networks, allowing it to operate in most countries around the world, a source tells TechCrunch.

An unidentified app developer reportedly pulled information from registration logs that show two distinct mobile network codes (MNC) / mobile country codes (MCC). These codes, which are believed to have been entered by testers of a single device using Apple's upcoming mobile operating system iOS 5, are unique mobile network identifiers belonging to Verizon and AT&T, TechCrunch said.

Apple now caters to both companies, but the devices are not designed to operate on each other's networks; Verizon's works on the CDMA standard, while AT&T's iPhone 4 operates on a GSM network, the dominant global wireless technology and the standard in Europe.

While the iPhone 5 has been long rumored to be a CDMA/GSM world phone, Verizon's iPhone has always had this capability, although it's not activated. Teardowns of the device showed that it sports the Qualcomm MDM6600 chip, the same chip that's used in the Droid Pro world phone.

TechCrunch concluded that a dual-mode phone would suggest that the iPhone 5 would not support LTE. However, Apple's latest developer builds for iOS 5 contain a snippet of code that mentions LTE, according to enthusiast site MacRumors, prompting speculation that the company may be testing 4G internally.

The hotly anticipated next edition of Apple's smartphone is expected to be released in October.

Study: Android users sad hicks, iPhone users rich girls

Today, Google bought Motorola Mobility and the world stopped.

While it did, I had time to open an e-mail from the folks at Hunch, a Web site that tries to take decisions out of your hands (and your head).

The e-mail contained an interesting infographic that offered some of the most graphic (if not always the most informational) illustration of the difference between Android users and those who prefer iPhones.

Firstly, and perhaps most stunningly, Android users are 86 percent more likely than iPhone users to live in the countryside. What can this possibly mean? Possibly nothing, but wait. Those who prefer the little green robot are also 80 percent more likely to have only a high school diploma. They're also 71 percent more likely to say they follow rather than lead.

Surely one of those nice illustrators in Central Park could draw a perfect picture of these people without even having one sit in front of them.

What a contrast with iPhone users. They are 67 percent more likely to have a household income of more than $200,000. They are 39 percent more likely to declare themselves high-maintenance. And they are 18 percent more likely to be women.

Please, I haven't made any of this up. This is, allegedly all based on responses from 15,818 Hunchers.

The infographic is so full of joyous nuggets that mere words can barely do it justice. Androiders are 71 percent more likely never to have traveled beyond the borders of the United States. They are more than 100 percent more likely to be PC users. And they adore "How I Met Your Mother."

iPhone users, world travelers that they are, loved "Midnight in Paris" and are 67 percent more likely to back up their laptops constantly. Oh, and they're 13 percent more likely to play a musical instrument.

I know the infographic will offer hours and endless mirth, laughter, and solemn shaking of heads all around the world. If it's begun turning yet, that is.

Apple iPhone shipments to hit 95 million in 2011?

Apple's production partners could ship as many as 95 million iPhones this year, a report from DigiTimes claims.

According to the Taiwan-based publication, those shipments are made up of the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and the much-rumored iPhone 5. Citing anonymous sources, DigiTimes reported today that Apple has upped its iPhone orders for the second half of 2011 from 50 million to 56 million.

Out of that, 20 million devices in the third quarter and about 8 million in the fourth quarter will be iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 units. DigiTimes' sources say Apple will be shipping about 6 million iPhone 5 units during the third quarter, and then ramp up production of the iPhone 5 to 20 million in the fourth quarter.

DigiTimes' latest report doesn't appear to line up with earlier claims from the publication. Earlier this month, DigiTimes reported that manufacturing company Pegatron would produce 10 million iPhone 5 units for shipment in September.
Even so, the report further intensifies rumors surrounding the iPhone 5. Over the last several months, a host of rumors have cropped up, claiming the device could be released in September or October. There is also debate over what the device might offer, ranging from an edge-to-edge screen to near-field communication.
Apple hasn't commented on the iPhone 5 so far and likely won't until it hosts an event to detail the upcoming smartphone. Last week, Japanese tech news site Kodawarisan reported that Apple would be holding an event on September 7 to unveil the iPhone 5. So far, Apple hasn't sent out invites to any event.
All the speculation surrounding the iPhone 5 has prompted some folks to chime in on other moves Apple should be making. Jean-Louis Gassee, general partner for Allegis Capital, wrote a blog post yesterday in which he first offered a fanciful vision of Apple acquiring a carrier like T-Mobile. But Gassee quickly went on to refute such a scenario, citing a host of issues, including regulatory problems and the negative reactions of other carriers toward Apple and any such deal.
Although Apple likely won't be buying a carrier anytime soon, Google today made the surprising announcement that it has agreed to acquire Motorola Mobility for a whopping $12.5 billion in cash. That deal is expected to close by year's end or early 2012.

iPhone 5 copycat 'HiPhone 5' available in China

Although you might be waiting for the iPhone 5, some folks in China have already gotten their hands on a wannabe copycat.

The country's top online-retail company, Taobao, is selling the "HiPhone 5" to customers for 210 yuan ($33). The device seems to feature a design similar to that of both the black and the white iPhone 4, but it also comes in red and pink.

That option, however, is apparently the "cheap" version of the device. According to Reuters, citing a report in China's Metro Express paper, some shop owners are selling "genuine" HiPhone 5 devices that reflect the rumored features of Apple's upcoming iPhone 5, including a slimmed-down design and rounded edges. The more-expensive versions can retail for as much as 850 yuan ($132).

China has long been criticized as a home for faked electronics. The HiPhone, for example, has been around for years now. In 2008, a version of the device was made available that closely resembled Apple's iPhone 3G. The packaging for the devices also mimicked that of Apple's.

In this case, the HiPhone 5 has beaten the actual iPhone 5 to store shelves. Over the last several months, there's been a constant rumbling of rumors suggesting that the purported next version of Apple's smartphone could launch in September or October. Some rumors claim that the new smartphone will come with major updates, including an edge-to-edge display. But as in the past, Apple has not given any indication of what any new device might offer or when it might launch.

The HiPhone 5's arrival follows last month's reports of fake Apple Stores cropping up in China. The stores featured Apple logos, products, and a layout that matched the iPhone maker's real retail outlets. Just yesterday, however, China Daily reported that Beijing was cracking down on the stores by banning the unauthorized retailers from using Apple's logos or products for advertising purposes.

Apple did not immediately respond to request for comment.
