iPhone Shipping & Pre-Order Date Rumors *Quick Update*

As we get closer to the rumored September 21st release date of the iPhone 5, new rumors are coming out of the potential pre-order date. The rumored date for pre-orders will be September 12th, or the 14th (a week before the release). The orders of course will be made on the Apple website.

It is expected Apple will sell 5-10 million units in the first month alone.

For those outside of the United States, the iPhone will likely ship in early October.

Also a little update, at this point LTE almost seems like a given with all the rumors circulating towards it.

Apple Ditching Google's YouTube App

Apple will apparently be ditching the old YouTube App that has always been apart of the iPhone, as per Apple. This is partly due to Apple and Google's rivalry and war that's going on and about right now, Apple just recently announced the end of the Google Maps & Street-view on iOS devices and instead replacing it with their own map system, which includes 3D maps.

Apples reasoning for the cut of the YouTube app is due to the end of their license with Google to use it. Apple stated this "customers can use YouTube in the Safari browser and Google is working on a new YouTube app to be on the app store."

So really it wont make a huge difference, I personally enjoy using the web version of YouTube, and likely Google will release their own app into the App Store, so not a huge worry.
