A recent report by CNET UK espoused a September 7 media event for the announcement of the iPhone 5. However, as information of Apple's purported media event failed to hit the news wires until Saturday, hopes for the new iPhone launch on the day are fading away.

Here are the reasons why iPhone 5 will be the best selling smartphone.

Attorneys for 22-year-old Brian Hogan and 28-year-old Sage Wallower entered the pleas on Thursday on behalf of the two men, who weren't in the San Mateo County courtroom.

The story about Apple's lost iPhone 5 prototype just keeps growing, with San Francisco police involvement while the company has no comment. Employees are just laughing all the way to the corporate bank, ready to pile more onto the company's $76 billion cash hoard once the iPhone 5 is released to unprecedented global smartphone demand.

Apple, notorious for its corporate secrecy and for releasing industry defining products, could come under government scanner if it turns out to be true that its employees had allegedly impersonated San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) officials while conducting a search in the house of a man, who was at a tequila bar the night an iPhone 5 prototype reportedly got lost.

San Francisco police said on Friday that they helped Apple security hunt for a lost item, without explicitly mentioning what the lost item was.

History typically repeats itself. The finest example of this saying came from Apple whose iPhone 5 prototype is said to be lost in a bar.
