No huge news this past week, but a few interesting rumors about the next generation iPhone and iPad...

Already in testing, iOS 8 has been spotted again, this time installed on an iPhone 5s. Home screen icons have not been significantly redesigned, however several new apps have been added by Apple. Healthbook, TextEdit, and Preview apps were previously leaked on a Chinese forum and confirmed as authentic by 9to5Mac sources. However, the icons for these apps were from OS X and had not yet been redesigned for iOS.

The latest leaks have been compiled by PhoneArena, showing what appears to be a more refined version.

The same goes for its sequels and spin-offs Where’s My Water 2, Where’s My Perry? and Where’s My Mickey.

Instead of rerouting water to Swampy, XXY must use elements such as fire and oil to defeat the Big Bad Wolf.

Every time a supposed new detail about the iPhone 6 is leaked, mockup renderings depicting the new information quickly appear all over the internet. Now that we are getting closer to the release date, the leaked information is more accurate, comes from legitimate sources and is based on physical evidence rather than wild speculation.

The renderings that surfaced on French site nowhereelse are based on sketches that were obtained by Japanese site Macotakara.

This agrees with the well
