Best Buy Trade-in Deal

Best Buy seems to be Apple’s Best Friend nowadays.  The national chain is offering a 50% discount on old iPhones when you step up to the iPhone 5.  It’s all part of Apple’s bigger strategy to clear the decks potentially for two new rumored models: iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C.  The first will be the next generation of iPhone technology that will include the new iOS7, possibly a fingerprint reader but not change to the physical phone.  The 5C is supposed to be a less expensive, multi-colored entry level iPhone that will be used to break into international markets.

Sept. 10, Apple will answer all the questions but right now you have a golden opportunity to step up to a better iPhone at a much lower cost.

Lightning Strikes Twice: iPhone 5 Prototype Lost in SF Bar

It’s like a bad remake of Ground Hog Day and Apple can’t wake up to make this nightmare go away.  Unbelievably another Apple employee left a prototype of the top secret iPhone 5 in a San Francisco watering hole. The owner of the Cava22 bar in San Francisco jokingly said that he might have to start watering down his drinks, or at least those served to Apple engineers.  Maybe they should reinstitute Prohibition for all Apple employees!
