iPhone 5 and iPad 2 Dual-Core GPU?
We all knew the rumors of a 2048x1536 high resolution screen of the upcoming iPad 2 which floated on the web the last few days, now, it makes sense to ask a question, what graphics processing unit (GPU) can adequately power iPad 2?, according to AppleInsider sources that iPad 2 and iPhone 5 will use a dual-core SGX543 GPU from "Imagination Technologies"

In other words, the SGX543 can have any number of cores from two to sixteen with no change in the driver software or the application. All that complex data/pipeline/thread management is done in hardware. No muss, no fuss.

iPhone 5 Parts on Video?
According to BGR, a firm called GlobalDirectParts claiming to have the Apple's next generation of iPhone (iPhone 5) parts, they prepared a five-plus minutes video showing this.
We get a crystal clear look at the charging-port flex-cable and outer aluminum skeleton of the device. There are several key differences between the iPhone 4 parts and the new parts we are being shown — displayed side by side in the video — including the absence of several of the black, plastic strips on the casing. This new iPhone shell still has a micro-SIM card slot, which could mean several things: it belongs to a global CDMA iPhone, it is a slight retooling of the current GSM iPhone 4 (iPhone 4GS anyone?)Anyway, it's expected to see and hear about such rumors, I can't confirm whether it's fake or real parts, while they are still not confirmed officially from Apple.

iPhone 5 Clone Arrives 6 Months Before iPhone 5 Announcement [VIDEO]
The iPhone 5 is yet to be seen, demoed or even announced by Apple, but this hasn’t stopped a Chinese manufacturer from demoing an iPhone 5 ‘clone’. It’s very likely that the clone is not running iOS and is more likely running Android with a custom iPhone skin on it. As you can see from the picture below there has not been much imagination used, as it looks more like a thinner version of the 3GS than anything else.
Check out the video after the break t0 see iPhone 5 clone in action.

Apple is Working on Verzion-Compatible iPhone 5
iPhone 5 news time! It's our first post here about iPhone 5 and it may be called big news. WSJ reports claims that Apple is planning to start mass production of a new Verzion-compatible iPhone 5 by the end of 2010. If you don't know, Verzion is carrier company, the same as AT&T which sells carrier locked devices.
5-th generation iPhone is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year carrying alternative wireless technology called CDMA and a new key chip by Qualcomm Inc. products.
The new iPhone would be similar in design to the iPhone 4 currently sold by AT&T Inc. but would be based on an alternative wireless technology called CDMA used by Verizon, these people said. The phone, for which Qualcomm Inc. is providing a key chip, is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year, according to the same people.We also has noticed that AppleInsider reports that Apple is working on two new iPhones with larger and smaller screens (got it?). One is as small as the Nano and the other is larger than the current form of iPhone, those two iPhones should be launched as soon as early 2011. We don't know anything more but we are sure that Apple is working on fifth-generation iPhone.

iPhone 5G at least 1.5GHz processor
Even though the iPhone 4G has not yet been officially revealed there is already talk regarding the iPhone 4G’s successor, the iPhone 5G, obviously details regarding this smartphone are completely unknown, despite this NetworkWorld are already predicting this handset’s specifications.
If these predictions are close to the truth the iPhone 5G will be extremely impressive, faster than any smartphone we have ever seen before.
They believe that the iPhone 5G will feature a Qualcomm dual-core Snapdragon processor, NetworkWorld believe that this processor will have two 1.5GHz cores, perhaps faster.
This seems pretty possible as it is expected that Qualcomm will release a similar processor before the end of the year. Apparently two chips are currently underdevelopment, one is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8X50A, this will have a single 1.3GHz core, and a 45nm architecture, which means it should run cooler and more efficient then current chips.
The other chip under-development is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8X72, this is a dual-core chip sporting two 1.5GHz cores, this powerful chip should give smartphones 1080p HD video capabilities (recording and playback).
Apple have a tendency to underclock their iPhone’s processor clock speed, however a dual-core chip with 2 x 1.5Ghz underclocked by 10-20% will still be very impressive.
