    Originally rumors had stated that the iPhone 5 had already started production back in March

    But these new rumors are definitely accurate!

    When the hipsters start buying sleeping bags and everyone in the art department at work applies for leave, it's nearing shipping date.

    iPhone slogans:

    Original: a "revolutionary mobile phone" (actually just what Jobs said, not a slogan)
    3G: Twice the speed, half the price.
    3GS: The most powerful iPhone yet.
    4: This changes everything. Again.


    Based on this we extrapolate a few plausible slogans:
    5: This changes everything. Again. Again.
    5: Twice the cores, twice the price.
    5: We don't even need a slogan, you will buy it anyway.
    5: Obsolete in three weeks!
    5: Three hundred ways to hold it, and they all drop calls!

    I wish Richard Stallman could turn up and defend my corner on this one...

    You probably have a rounded corner. If he showed up, you could be both be sued for violating Apple's design patents. Try using a perfect, 90 degree corner.

    Then say "Linux" three times and he'll show up to correct you that it should be "GNU/Linux." That's how you summon him, right?
