As the brouhaha over Apple Maps failures reached fever pitch, rumors spiked about a new app in the works. Made by Google, it would run natively on the iPhone, bringing all of the previous features of the Google-powered Maps together with free navigation, the one thing it had been missing all these years. It seemed like a dream. Today, it is real.

The Wall Street Jounal reports that Google is nearly ready to submit its Maps app to Apple for approval on iOS devices. The new app would compete directly with Apple’s poorly-received Maps. Though you can’t delete Apple native apps, the Google version would likely replace it, at least in use, for millions of iPhone owners.

I love virtual Easter eggs. They’re little hidden messages or jokes which are lurking inside your favorite apps, websites, games, movies, and so on. Apple even slipped some into iOS 6, the latest version of its mobile operating system, by teaching Siri to say exactly what she thinks about some movies.

After a week filled with complaints about the new Maps app found in iOS 6, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system, the company’s CEO, Tim Cook, has issued an apology to customers along with a list of alternative apps.
A link to the apology appears on the Apple website, plainly labeled as “[a] letter to our customers regarding Maps.”

NBC News photographer Jim Seida spent a day shooting stills with the iPhone 5, along with the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, the new Samsung Galaxy S III and a high-end point-and-shoot from Nikon, the P7000. The results? While the iPhone 5’s 8-megapixel camera performed well, it did not noticeably outperform its most recent forebear. But there was one way that the iPhone 5 clearly bested the 4S.

The iPhone 5 started shipping (and hitting store shelves) on Friday, Sept. 21. According to Apple, the company has sold more than five million of the new iPhone model in the three days since its debut.
“We are working hard to get an iPhone 5 into the hands of every customer who wants one as quickly as possible,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a press release from the Cupertino-based company. “While we have sold out of our initial supply, stores continue to receive iPhone 5 shipments regularly and customers can continue to order online and receive an estimated delivery date. We appreciate everyone’s patience and are working hard to build enough iPhone 5s for everyone.”

We’re here at San Francisco’s Moscone Center to witness Apple unveil a new iPhone — what we expect to be the first new design for the iPhone in nearly two and a half years. Will it be called the iPhone 5? Will it be a slightly elongated version of the current iPhone 4S? Or will it look completely different? We’ll soon find out who wins in this epic battle of leaks vs. Apple secrecy.

On Wednesday, Apple is holding a special media event in San Francisco, and we’ll be there to report live on all the latest news. For now, we’re mulling over all the rumors and gossip to figure out what we can expect to hear from Apple.
What do you hope Apple will reveal at their event?

As expected, Apple is holding an event at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET, Wednesday, Sept. 12, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
The Cupertino-based company has just invited members of the press to the event, where they will likely be the first to hear about the next-generation iPhone — which, if you’re reading things into the shadow on the invitation, may be called the iPhone 5.

The Facebook for iOS just got updated, and odds are that you’ll be quite happy with it. While things barely look different, everything is faster.

New versions of the Twitter app are available for iPhone and Android phones, with the short-messaging blog noting that they offer “several updates to bring you closer to everything you care about.”
That includes expanded tweets, something that Twitter began offering on its desktop version last month.
