So... What's the new iPhone going to be called?

This March, Apple introduced what people were expecting to call "iPad 3". Unfortunately, that never happened and we needed to stop our force of habit to call it "iPad 3". As most people know, Apple's 2012 iPad is called "The new iPad". What happens when the iPad 4 or whatever Apple chooses to call it comes out? They'll call their so-called "New iPad" "iPad (3rd generation)". We think, Apple thinks that iPad is "so popular" and everything, that they don't need to give iPads a last name.

So what does this mean for the iPhone? We're not sure wether Apple chooses to keep the name "iPhone 5". Although, I could already envision Steve Jobs saying that if he were still alive, Apple might choose to call their new iPhone "The new iPhone". Several sources have picked up on this discussion as well. By the way, while we're still picking up on potential features for the "New iPhone" or "iPhone 5", the image above, from Google images, was featured on CNET, displays the most likely new features. We're still working on the rest of the features but we think that the "no home button" feature won't be found in Apple's new phone, because the feature was highly expected in the iPad 3 (now "the New iPad"), and it still wasn't present. Apple might think of the home button on its' mobile devices as a signature that screams "Hi, I'm an Apple product".

For now, feel free to browse our previous posts and rumors while we gather more on everything tech.

Apple gains ownership of iPhone5.com domain

Apple has been battling with the iPhone5.com domain and hosted "a small discussion form" (according to MacRumors) for the past year and a half.  As of now, several chain sources (including MacRumors and The Next Web), that the case that Apple filed to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has been terminated. According to the MacRumors website "The domain is now under the control of brand protection firm Corporation Service Company, presumably on Apple's behalf, and simply displays a blank page."

We think Apple's choice to to terminate the domain was for the public not to be mislead by what the site was writing about. This means that the site may seem too official, with the name of the product being the main URL. for example, we post about product info/rumors/news from our URL www.rainbowposts.blogspot.com, which unlike the iPhone 5 URL, gives away all of the site's secrets. Of course, this is just a suggestion and doesn't mean it's actually what we think (though it could be).

As we also noted, the domain "www.iphone4s.com" redirects you to "http://www.apple.com/iphone/?cid=oas-us-domains-iphone4s.com" which is the shortcut to the iPhone 4S section on Apple's website.

This is all we know for now. Stay tuned for future updates, more on the iPhone and iPad, and everything else. We'll be here!
