Apple Inc took the wraps off a new iPhone on Tuesday, but may have left some fans wishing for more than an updated version of last year's smartphone.

Straight from the live blogs of Apple's Cupertino Let's talk iPhone event, Apple has some exciting announcements. The technology giant has taken the wraps off iPhone 4S, which will come pre-installed with the new mobile operating system iOS 5.

iPhone 4S comes with Retina Display, faster processor and iOS 5. First images trickle out of press conference.

Apple's new application Cards allows users to send and mail 100% cotton paper cards directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Rumors around the iPhone 5 have been overheated as Apple's Let's talk iPhone event kicked off at 1 p.m. (EDT) on Tuesday. All eyes are on whether Tim Cook will unveil the next-generation iPhone 5 and when its much-speculated release date is.

Apple has begun loading pictures of a new iPhone to its Web site. The first photos appear to be a slightly upgraded iPhone 4 with iOS 5 already pre-loaded.

With Apple getting ready to take the wraps off the next generation iPhone, dubbed iPhone 5, on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at its Cupertino headquarters, iPhone fans can't help but guess what features the latest iteration of the world's single most popular smartphone will boast of.

As Let's talk iPhone event approaches, one can’t help but get the sense that Apple is getting a kick out of the unprecedented degree of anticipation surrounding the announcement of their newest iPhone.

On the day that Apple launches the fifth generation of its ubiquitous iPhone, the once mighty Nokia is still weeks away from mounting a fightback.

Anticipation of Apple's Tuesday unveiling of the iPhone 5 has reached fever pitch, with speculation on everything from form to features running rampant. Chinese state-run carrier China Unicom added to the frenzy this week at the Macworld Asia expo in Beijing by presenting a slideshow that included a segment documenting the evolution of the iPhone.

Anticipation is building as Apple is expected to debut its long awaited next-generation smartphone, the iPhone 5, but what it will feature doesn't have to be a mystery.

iPhone 5 could see the adoption of iOS 5, Apple's latest operating system for mobile devices. iPad 2 has it, and because it's widely believed iPhone 5 will get a few of the same performance specs, it's a good bet it'll have iOS 5 as well. Here's a look at the top 10 features of Apple's new iOS 5.

iPhone watchers cannot wait to attend the Let's talk iPhone event Apple has scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 4, at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. Most tech sites believe that Apple’s new CEO Tim Cook will announce the release information of iPhone 5 at this event, although the press invite cryptically provides three simple words “Let’s talk iPhone”.

Sprint stock fell 10 percent to $2.73 Monday after the Wall Street Journal reported that the wireless carrier has committed to ordering at least 30.5 million iPhones, costing $20 billion, in preparation for the new phone's launch. On Tuesday, the stock fell an additional 12 percent to $2.40 by 11 a.m.

Recent heat over the iPhone 5 is spiraling out of control as the Oct. 4 press conference draws closer. But why is iPhone 5 the most desired smartphone? Taking a closer look at two major reasons, the iOS 5 upgrade and iCloud features, may help us understand what the craze is about.

After clamming up for months about the release of the most anticipated smartphone - iPhone 5 - this year, Apple has finally decided to sing. But it's not singing aloud - with a three word cryptic invitation, “Let’s talk iPhone” send out to the media, Apple has indicated that it will announce the launch of iPhone 5 on Oct. 4. And, nothing more.

Although Apple has sent out Let's talk iPhone invitations to the press and it is highly likely that it will announce the release information of iPhone 5 at the Oct. 4 event, people can hardly wait to catch a glimpse of the next generation iPhone.

As noted earlier, if Sprint (S) snares Apple’s iPhone 5 this autumn, it could give the cell phone service provider a fighting chance versus AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ). And that would bode well for Sprint's stock.

Only a couple of hours left for Apple Inc.'s Let's talk iPhone event where the company is expected to launch its most awaited iPhone 5 and a cheaper version of iPhone 4 (iPhone 4S). But it doesn't appear to be a smooth sail for iPhone 5 in Korea since Samsung is getting ready with all the legal weapons it has got to block iPhone 5 sales in that country.

The new iPhone is about to be unveiled.
