Following the recent iPhone 5 announcement, Apple fans worldwide found that many, if not all of the leaked rumors preceding its release came true. The 4-inch display, A6 processor, new charging connector: almost every plan, blueprint, patent or rumor recently hitting the internet came true at the September 12 announcement of Apple’s latest smartphone.

Aside from the iPhone 5 rumor mill, Apple fans and critics still expect one more prophecy to come true. For months, rumors have been pointing towards the possibility of not only an iPhone release this fall, but also a miniature version of the iPad. Many believe the anticipated iPad Mini (the most commonly used speculative title) will have the same big-ticket demand as Apple’s other marquee releases this year: the iPad 3, MacBook Pro Retina and recently announced iPhone 5.

Within the super-competitive tablet market, many Android-based tablet manufacturers have found success branching out and marketing cheaper tablets with smaller displays, like Google’s Nexus 7 tablet and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 7.0.

The possibility of a cheaper Apple tablet has market analysts buzzing. Rhonda Alexander from HIS iSuppli told CNET that a smaller price tag could be all that Apple needs to dominate the mini tablet market. The mere idea of a 7-inch iPad has competitors already remarketing their already successful products. Google has heavily invested in advertisements for the $199 Nexus 7 tablet.

The latest Apple rumors have fans, critics and retailers waiting on the edge of their seats for the latest shred of detail in regards to a new product. The rumors and speculation that preceded the iPhone 5 announcement helped create such demand that some accessory manufacturers began taking pre-orders iPhone screen protectors, cases and cell phone skins before the Sept. 12 announcement.

With Apple fans still buzzing about Apple’s latest products, what will October hold? What would a new iPad mini mean for those who sell, manufacture or use tablet accessories and iPad Skins? One can only wait and see.

September 12 has passed and the world has been introduced to the iPhone 5. The announcements are out, the publicity wagon is in full effect, every electronics retailer and apps developer has begun marketing their newest and greatest iPhone products, etc.

The buzz surrounding a new product release as monumental as the latest iPhone has, to no surprise, shaken the entire tech community. But when you strip out the fluff, what will the next generation Apple product actually bring?

Some would argue the most innovative smart phone in history. Others would argue the iPhone is another template Apple release with incrementally improved technology and claims to invent what’s already been invented. Whatever your sentiment towards Apple’s iPhone 5, the phone is a huge commodity and there will no doubt be astronomical demand.

Many of those looking to find an unbiased account of the iPhone 5 are asking one basic question: what’s the big deal? What is the difference between the iPhone 5 and its immediate predecessor, the iPhone 4S?

Guts

It’s what’s on the inside that counts, right? One of Apple’s greatest improvements to the latest iPhone is internal. The A6 chip is claimed to be twice as fast with twice the graphics power as the A5. The latest operating system, Apple iOS 6 will hopefully provide efficient use for even the heaviest app users. And last but certainly not least, Apple’s new 4G LTE capabilities have iPhone users everywhere rejoicing in the name of download speed, while wireless carriers prepare to rake in the dollars from the boosted data usage.

Glamour

Apple is design first - they always have been and they most likely always will be. The user-friendliness is one thing, the innovative technology is another, but Apple’s primary differentiator is in its aesthetics. So much so that one of the first and most popular rumors circulated before its release was its 4-inch display. This was coupled with Apple’s huge mobile push in display resolution, as the iPhone 5 is the latest release with Apple HD Retina Display resolution.

iPhone owners - like most all owners of Apple products – invest heavily in smartphone screen protectors and full-bodied skins to protect their expensive toys. If you’re planning to upgrade, get your iPhone 5 screen protector to ensure your shiny new investment stays looking new for a long time to come.

Samsung attacks iPhone in new ad (from CNET)

Perhaps due to the heat of the election season, tech companies have now jumped on the bandwagon of negative attack advertisements. Samsung and Apple have had a hard time playing nice lately, and in this latest installment of their soap opera relationship, Samsung points out that the newest Apple phone is nothing that they haven’t already done better.
