It is rumored that Apple CEO Tim Cook will take the stage on October 4th to introduce the new iphone as well as the possibility of other next-generation hardware. The Hardware will run iOS 5, an updated mobile operating system. This includes combatability with Twitter, a new feature called Newsstand which brings together e-news subscriptions, a reminder app as well as other featers.Apple is also launching its icloud service, which will sync user information and send it to various devices via the cloud.
Apple has been able to dominate most of the general conversation about smartphones, although Android has successfuly taken a portion of the market over the past two years. Rumors show that a possible iOS maye appear on sprint which will increase the iPhone overall sales by 6 million units. A sprint iphone would leave T-mobil as the only U.S carrier without the iphone.
