iPhone 5 cases for real in AT&T stores

iPhone 5 cases for real in AT&T stores Sure, we’ve seen AT&T’s inventory system point towards Case-Mate cases for the upcoming iPhone 5 (which will definitely stop all traffic when October 4th rolls around), but those are just words on a computer display – what about those who want to see the real deal?

It seems that cases for a teardrop-shaped iPhone 5 have also been spotted in the flesh in where else but AT&T retail stores, and this might prove that there is also another handset being announced alongside the iPhone 5 – that is, a far more affordable version of the iPhone 4 known as the iPhone 4S (they should call it the iPhone 4B with “B” for “Budget”).

Do you think that Apple will release a single iPhone when next Tuesday rolls around, or would they introduce two models instead? I guess this weekend is going to see some folks actually start lining up outside Apple Stores in order to be one of the first few folks who will bring home an iPhone 5…and perhaps the iPhone 4S to boot.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

iPhone: iPhone: The iPhone is Apple's line of smartphones. That was also the original name of the first iPhone, which was announced on January 9th 2007 by Steve Jobs during the Macworld Keynote. The iPhone was released to the public in June of the same year. The development of the iPhone started in 2004, was internally called "project purple" and was the fruit of a collaboration between Apple and AT&T. Since then, Apple has released new iPhone models every year, with the iPhone 3G in July 2008, the iPhone 3GS in June 2009, the iPhone 4 in June 2010, the iPhone 4S in October 2011 and the iPhone 5 in September 2012. The iPhone represented more than half of Apple's revenues in 2012.

iPhone 5: The iPhone 5 (read our iPhone 5 review) is a smartphone from Apple. It was launched on Sept 12 2012 and features a 4" display, 4G LTE, a thinner chassis and a faster A6 processor. At the time of its launch, it was obviously the best iPhone yet, but a large number of customers and observers came out very divided about its feature set. The lack of large screen was a main point of friction and many wished that there was a larger iPhone 5. FB Survey: are you impressed by the iPhone 5? Tell the world.
