Apple is going to introduce three new iPhone models this fall at its traditional September event, according to a new report.

A new rumor today 'confirms' (as much as any rumor can) some specs and reveals others. Let's dive...
Apple inches closer to acquiring Intel's smartphone modem business, report claims

But a rumor has been going around claiming that Apple is in talks with Intel and wants to buy the modem chip business to reduce its reliance on Qualcomm in the future. And according to reliable inside sources familiar with the matter, this is exactly what Apple is aiming at here. Moreover, the two American firms are in advanced talks. In fact, they are really close to reaching a deal, which could be happening as early as next week. Reportedly, it will be at...
