iPhone 5–real or not?

No sooner had the news broken out on Tuesday from Cupertino that the latest release of the now famous “must have” phone, the iPhone 4s is out. 

Wait!  4s!!?? What happened to all the rumors of the iPhone 5?  Where did it go?  Did something go wrong? 

Surely by now, or at least soon enough, you will begin to receive email announcements in regards to the “iPhone 5s”.  Not surprising to find out, that this email appears to be a scam and will no doubt end up infecting your computer.

It looks like the email going around also has an “order now” button.  Seems harmless enough right?  Well, the only thing you will probably end up having is a free dose of malware, at least that is what our friends at Sophos are stating.

As always, pay close attention to what is being sent to your inbox.  Grandma’s old saying “if it sounds to good to be true, then…” seems to still work today.

If you want to get to know the new iPhone 4s then go to the Apple website.  In fact do you want to see the video?  Click here and then click on “Watch the iPhone 4S video” towards the bottom of the screen.

If you have time, watch it.  As always, there is always something new and exciting coming from Apple.  Siri will be your new best friend!
