iPhone, iPad and iPod. With these and many more on the list, Apple has undoubtedly made phenomenal successes and built its avid fans. However, Apple is not exactly Maidus and not everything it touched turn into gold. Here are some of the rotten apples that Apple has discovered in its basket since the launch of the company in the mid-seventies:

Apple Inc. is expected to cut iPhone 3GS price to $0 (on contract, $399 unsubsidized) in conjunction with iPhone 5 launch, which is expected in September.

Apple iPhone has been ruling the smartphone jungle for quite some time and the launch of the next generation iPhone (dubbed iPhone 5) is expected to consolidate its position but could a slew of new Android smartphones set for launch later this year upset its dominance?

As the rumors swirl surrounding the iPhone 5's release date, it is worth asking whether one should buy an Android superphone or wait for the elusive iPhone 5. After all, most of the iPhone 5's rumored features are already available in a spate of Android devices.

Not a single day passes without a new rumor regarding the launch date of Apple's next generation iPhone. Apple fans are not exactly pleased at the long silence from Apple, but apparently the company is only safe-guarding its business interests. Since the sales of their existing iPhone isn't slowing down, it is logical to think that Apple would want to wait and get the most out of iPhone 4.

The smartphone competition for Apple iPhone 5 is getting thicker by the day as T-Mobile announced the launch of its latest 4G phone, the myTouch 4G Slide, which is an HTC product.

Information on the next Apple iPhone is still dubious and only rumors are growing as to when it is going to be released, what is it going to be called and what features will it boast of.

The exploding popularity of Android has been a force to reckon. Google reported that its daily activations have reached 500,000. Google's vice president of mobile tweeted that this rate is increasing 4.4% each week. The increased number of smartphones that are running the Android OS have placed Google at the top of the Smartphone market over its reigning competitor the Apple iPhone.

Apple is poised to launch two new iPhones, a cheaper iPhone 4S and the all new iPhone 5 in rather quick succession, if industry buzz is to be believed. The theory suggests that Apple as a company is at an inflection point with regard to its smartphone strategy and is willing to take daring new steps in the backdrop of a surging challenge from Android OS-based devices.

Tuesday, T-Mobile USA unveiled their latest smartphone MyTouch 4G Slide, which will sport high-end camera features, touted as the most advanced among of all smartphones, undoubtedly challenging the much-rumored but yet-to-come iPhone 5.

The craze to own an Apple product in China gathered steam this week as one Chinese girl allegedly has offered to sell her virginity in exchange for an iPhone 4, barely days after news surfaced that a Chinese boy sold his kidney in exchange for an iPad 2.
