We’ve seen lots of the rumored iPhone 5′s body by now, and now the front cover has been acquired and squared up against the iPhone 4S. The new FaceTime camera position lines up just fine with what we were seeing on the chassis, and when put on top of an iPhone we’re all familiar with, we [...]

As most of you guys and gals are well aware of, I’m the type of person that loves keeping things stock, or at least stock looking. My car is stock, my iMac is stock, my iOS devices are jailbroken, but they look close to stock. For that reason, it’s probably no surprise that I continue to [...]
