A fake, but interesting video of the iPhone 5 being unboxed has been posted on Youtube. The video is just a minute or so in length and shows two guys sneaking around an Apple office where they find an iPhone 5 and unbox it. There’s no real reason to believe this is a real iPhone 5 at all for a number of reasons. First, the whole setup just isn’t quite right in that an old Mac with an iPhone 5 screensaver is on the desk. Also, notice the battery icon is showing that the device is currently being charged when there’s clearly no cable attached to it. Either way, a bit of fun and [...]

Not much of interest pops out of build 9A5313E’s release notes, but we’d presume it squashes a fair share of bugs. Hit up settings to begin the roughly 70MB OTA update, or test those browser downloading skills at the dev portal linked below. And while you’re there, don’t forget to snag updated versions of Xcode, iTunes, and an updated firmware for the second-generation AppleTV. Peep a screenshot [...]

An Apple employee reportedly lost an iPhone 5 prototype in a San Francisco bar, one year after the exact same thing happened. CNET is reporting that an “unreleased device” was left in a tequila bar in the Mission district in late July and sparked a mad, yet unsuccessful, dash from Apple to reclaim the handset. The embarrassing revelation, which is almost too bizarre to believe, is a carbon copy of last year’s incident which ended with a pre-release iPhone 4 ending up in the hands of tech blog Gizmodo. The report claims that the device may have been sold on the Craigslist site [...]
