Adidst speculations surrounding Apple's new offering, the US technology giant appears to be ready to take the covers off the next model of iphone, or iPhone 5.
According to reports, Apple is expected to make the official announcement on September 12 with pre-orders going live the same day and a release on September 21. Despite rumours about the new device, Apple has remained tight-lipped, allowing the rumor mill to heat up.
Meanwhile, Apple has scored a huge victory as a federal jury in California found rival Samsung guilty of "wilful" violations of a number of Apple's patents and awarded it more than $1 billion in damages.
"The mountain of evidence presented during the trial showed that Samsung's copying went far deeper than even we knew," Apple said in a statement.
Apple had asked for $2.7 billion in damages , claiming that Samsung "ripped off" its iPad and iPhone designs and software for scores of Samsung devices, including the Nexus S 4G and S II.
Samsung countersued Apple for infringing on five of its patents and asked for $519 million.
As a result of the ruling, Apple could request an injunction against the Samsung devices that were found to have infringed on its patents. That means Samsung could be forced to take those gadgets off the market until they are changed, a report said.
Armed with loads of significant patents now deemed valid in court, Apple could go on to sue other companies -- namely, Android maker Google and its hardware partners, the report said.
