iOS 7 Logo Confirmed As WWDC 2013 Banners Go Up At Moscone Center [IMAGE]
We’ve been heavily reliant on the WWDC logo to offer some kind of indication as to the changes to be made with iOS 7, and with just a weekend now to go before Apple’s WWDC 2013 kicks off in Moscone West, the Cupertino company has confirmed the logo of the forthcoming software.
As we’ve come to assume from the reports and rumors of late, the next version of iOS will be very much a clean-up job, and this demonstrated rather emphatically by the new logo. Take a look after the break!
A few days before any big tech event, the company or companies involved cannot help but to leave tell-tale signs lying around, and so it has proved as Apple begins dressing up Moscone West ready for the big WWDC 2013 kick-off this coming Monday.
Rumor Roundup: Pre-WWDC jitters
The Rumor Roundup comes early this week in anticipation of Apple’s forthcoming WWDC keynote, AKA Christmas in June for Apple geeks, AKA the cue for thousands of idiot pundits to hit “publish” on their pre-drafted “Apple is DOOMED” drivel.

Is This New Apple’s Low-Cost iPhone? [IMAGES]
The notion of Apple bringing out a low-cost iPhone has always been suggested.
With such a popular brand at a sky-high price, perhaps it was always going to be an idea teased by the masses. But this year, there’s a really strong consensus that there will indeed be a cheaper model to help corner markets like India and China, as well as allowing those with less disposable cash to still rock an iPhone.
Today, images purporting to depict the device have been discovered on Weibo, the ‘Chinese Twitter,’ and although the bumper case, lack of a snap of the front of the device and a lot of blurriness make for a rather suspect leak, we have to check out all possible avenues in our quest to discover this elusive budget iPhone.
