Here are the latest Apple-related rumors from the blog-o-sphere:
“As rumors of an inexpensive iPhone model bound for a 2013 release gain momentum, fresh reports from upstream supply chain sources claim the purported handset’s enclosure will be made of plastic by a company based in the U.S.” — “AppleInsider” (www.appleinsider.com)
“Apple is currently testing two prototype iPhones, claims Jefferies analyst Peter Misek. One of these is said to be Apple’s next flagship model, nicknamed the iPhone 5S. The nature of the other phone is unclear, but could possibly be the rumored low-end iPhone. In any case Misek expects the 5S to be an incremental upgrade over the 5, and debut in June or July, even though the 5 and 4S were both fall releases.” — “MacNN” (www.macnn.com)
“Struggling PC maker Dell is reportedly in talks with at least two private-equity firms to take the company private.” — “AppleInsider” (www.appleinsider.com)
