iPhone 5: AT&T - Check, Verizon - Check, Sprint - Check, T-mobile - ???

It looks like all the major mobile carriers will be receiving the iPhone 5 shortly, all but one. T-Mobile will not be getting Apple in their line up... well not this year at least.

“We are not going to get the iPhone 5 this year,” T-Mobile’s chief marketing officer Cole Brodman said in a town hall meeting on Monday.

Obviously the iPhone could be released next year for T-Mobile. But then others say that Apple is holding off due to AT&T take over (if the paperwork ever files..). Obviously T-Mobile doesn't want to dwell on not getting the next best thing since the VCR by statting they are focusing on their 4G phone lineup.

Sneak Peak of the iPhone 5 features!

There are many rumors going around, and with less than two weeks from when the iPhone 5 press conference will be held, here are some of the dirtiest features the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S could have.








Leaked Parts
A numerous number of leaked images of the partly disassembled guts of an updated iPhone have surfaced online.A few that stand out is the new A5 ARM CPU along with a different battery that was different from the iPhone 4. People swear its the new iPhone, but whether or not it is, only time will tell.


iPhone 4S
The iPhone 4S, a iPhone 4 on steroids, have been floating around the internet. It is believe to quickly be an alternative of the iPhone 5 at a price of $199.99 (because we all know us consumers are willing to pay that) and a $249.99 or $299.99 price range for the iPhone 5. Another way for Apple to such in a huge fan pool that just seems to keep on growing. JP Morgan confirmed the release of two new phone products upon release.
The iPhone 4S will probably have an upgraded antenna and world-phone capabilities. Due to the cheaper price, it might be used to target the pre-pay group while still being widely available.

Cases
The iPhone 5 case designs have leaked into the wild, having a fatter but thinner front to back chassis with a tapered profile and rumor, a 4 inch screen.

Of course, only time will tell for all of these leaks. But as the release quickly approaches, they look even more promising. Keep here for further updates.
