**Editor's Note: Click here for our list of June's hottest selling smartphones to see how the iPhone fared against the competition.**
There have been so many new reports of a new iPhone lately, if you hadn't been watching carefully, you might've assumed it was already available.
The blog also says to look for "two new device types," but isn't clear what that means. One can only assume it's predicting the much-rumored "budget iPhone" that Apple has consistently denied; nonetheless, most analysts expect it's going to happen.
That cheaper device was "confirmed" by a recent investigation into working conditions at an Apple factory in China, where staff were supposedly working on plastic casings for a new iPhone. But again, take that one with a grain of salt.
The 5S isn't expect to look a lot different than last year's model, but it might include a fingerprint sensor connected to the home button for added security.

Malaysia?s industry leader BP Healthcare Group and University of Malaya (UM) have signed an agreement to work together in oral and dental research and care as well as community projects to increase dental awareness.
The collaborative initiative pools the expertise and resources of BP Healthcare, which aims to build the country?s largest dental care network, and Malaysia?s premier dental school that has over four decades of history and one of the few overseas training and examination centres recognised by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was sealed by Chevy Beh, BP Healthcare Group executive director, and Professor Dr Rosnah Mohd Zain, dean of the Dentistry Faculty, at the university in Kuala Lumpur today.
?We are privileged to work with the country?s most established institution on dental health. The MoU that we signed today will bring benefit to the two organisations and at the same time, improve the quality of care, research and education in Malaysia,? said Beh.
?Collaborating with UM will allow medical professionals from both sides and dental residents to work closely and identify opportunities on joint research, internship and accelerate the pace of improvement in the field.?
BP Healthcare Group, which is the most diversified healthcare provider in the country, currently has three specialist dental clinics located at the BP Specialist Centres in Glenmarie (Shah Alam), Klang and Ipoh.
The group, through BP Dental Sdn Bhd, will spend RM100 million over the next few years to establish a network of 50 dental clinics and invest in the latest technology to provide comprehensive maintenance, restorative and aesthetic dental care that includes orthodontic treatment, CT scan for treatment planning of dental implants and oral surgery, as well as latest digital imaging system that requires high-end and high cost equipment. - Bernama, July 29, 2013

Having a family history of cancer raises your own risk of the disease -- even if it's not the exact same type, according to a new study.
European researchers found that family history increases the risk of not only concordant cancer -- which is the same cancer -- but also discordant cancer, or a different kind of cancer. The findings, published in the journal Annals of Oncology, held true even after taking into account other potential risk factors, such as alcohol or tobacco use.
"Our results point to several potential cancer syndromes that appear among close relatives and that indicate the presence of genetic factors influencing multiple cancer sites," study researcher Dr. Eva Negri, who is the head of the Laboratory of Epidemiologic Methods at the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Italy, said in a statement. "These findings may help researchers and clinicians to focus on the identification of additional genetic causes of selected cancers and on optimizing screening and diagnosis, particularly in people with a family history of cancer at a young age."
The study is based on data from 12,000 cancer cases that occurred between 1991 and 2009 in 13 different sites, including the kidneys, breast, ovaries, prostate, liver, colorectal, stomach, mouth and esophagus. Researchers compared these cases with 11,000 people who didn't have cancer, and specifically examined family history of cancer and lifestyle risk factors.
Researchers found associations between having a family history of cancer and having a higher risk of cancer yourself, even if the cancer is of a different type. For example, if a woman has a close relative with colorectal cancer, she has a 1.5-fold higher breast cancer risk.
And if a person has a first-degree relative with cancer of the larynx, he or she has a 3.3-fold increased risk of oral or pharyngeal cancer. If a woman had a first-degree relative with breast cancer, she has a 2.3-fold higher ovarian cancer risk.
For people with a first-degree relative with bladder cancer, their own risk of prostate cancer is 3.4-fold higher.
Researchers noted that some of this increased risk of cancer could come from shared environments, such as family smoking or drinking habits. But they also said there's evidence genetics seems to play some sort of role.

I?ve mentioned that food hasn?t been my friend this pregnancy, but at 20 weeks, we?re starting to get friendly again. My palate and appetite still aren?t what they usually are, and probably won?t be until the baby is born.* You know what else hasn?t been my friend? Water.
*Sigh. The sacrifices we make.
I know, I know ? we need water to live, especially in the hot Texas summer, and especially when one is struggling to 1) keep an outdoors-loving (and supervision-needing) kiddo happy and entertained, 2) continue running through the sweltering heat, one very slow step at a time, and 3) gestate a human being. So, yeah, I need to hydrate. I know.
But someone forgot to tell that to my body. When morning sickness was at its roughest, drinking water made me nauseous. Of course, I choked down enough to stay healthy, using various tricks like chilling it (I generally prefer my water room temperature), flavoring it (cucumber slices did the trick there for awhile) and even downing sparkling mineral water, sometimes with a squeeze of lime, as a ?treat.? I know it sounds silly, but nursing a bottle of Topo Chico while everyone else is nursing a beer out in the heat is a lot better than sitting there glumly with a plastic cup of tap water.
But now, in the late July heat, I?m stepping up my game, since I really don?t want dehydration to come creeping in. A friend suggested I try coconut water (blech) or a homemade electrolyte drink, so I did some Googling and found a bunch of recipes. Naturally, I combined recipes this way and that adapted to my own tastes liberally. I didn?t want anything too sweet, since I don?t love drinking my calories (when there is not alcohol involved, that is), and too-sweet drinks seem to increase my thirst, rather than satiate.
Citrus is an important component in an electrolyte drink, since it is high in potassium,* and salt is a must (electrolytes are basically salt). You can use a fancy salt, like Himalayan sea salt, but table salt is okay too. You just need sodium chloride. Unrefined salt contains more trace minerals, so that?s what I used. This version uses honey as a sweetener, which I prefer over refined sugar.
* Oranges especially ? that?s why you so often see stacks and stacks of them, along with bananas, on the food tables after a race.
I let the hubby try my concoction, and he thought it needed more lemon, but he is a sour fiend ? so, play around with it and adjust it to your tastes. I think I may experiment with a lemon-lime version next. Drink up!

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Nate Schierholtz's recent power surge might not be enough to turn the Chicago Cubs season around. It sure is making the year a lot easier for the slugging outfielder to handle.
Getting a game-winning home run against his former club? Well, that's just icing on the cake.
Cheered in every at-bat this series by the crowd at AT&T Park, Schierholtz homered off ex-teammate Sergio Romo with one out in the ninth inning to lift the Cubs to a 1-0 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night.
"I can't really describe it, but it felt good," Schierholtz said. "I always loved playing here. I love the fans here. I couldn't ask for a better reception."
Dropped to sixth in the Cubs' lineup after batting cleanup a night earlier in the club's first game after trading Alfonso Soriano, Schierholtz worked a full count off Romo (3-6) before hitting a towering blast into the right field stands to hand Romo his second loss in as many games.
Schierholtz played with San Francisco from 2007-2012 before getting traded to Philadelphia in exchange for Hunter Pence midway through last season. He signed with Chicago as a free agent in the offseason and had been bothered by shoulder problems earlier in the year before heating up over the past two weeks.
The home run off Romo was Schierholtz's 14th of the season and third on the team's current 10-game road trip. Seven of his 10 hits on the road trip have been for extra bases.
"It's pretty nice to watch," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "It's obviously huge for him to do that to his old team."
Starlin Castro added two hits for Chicago, which is 18-13 in its last 31 games.
Madison Bumgarner pitched eight shutout innings for San Francisco but left without a decision. The World Series champs have lost six of seven and are a season-high 11 games under .500.
Since May 13, the Giants have the worst record in the majors at 23-42.
"We're in a tough rut now and we know it," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "We just have to keep working and trying. We couldn't even get a cheap hit and we got what we deserve."
Pedro Strop (1-0) pitched one inning for the win despite making two mental mistakes that helped the Giants load the bases with no outs in the eighth. Strop twice made late throws on sacrifice bunt attempts but got out of it when Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval grounded into forceouts at home and Hunter Pence struck out.
"That was one of our more exciting innings of the year," Sveum said. "We were going to win it or lose it there."
Kevin Gregg worked the ninth for his 21st save to complete the five-hitter, getting pinch-hitter Tony Abreu to ground into a 3-2-3 double play after San Francisco loaded the bases with one out.
The Cubs won their second straight in this three-game set after dropping three of four to the Giants at Wrigley Field in April. Chicago scored two unearned runs in the ninth inning to beat San Francisco 3-2 on Friday.
This one went down to the wire again.
Chicago only got one runner to second base until Schierholtz's homer.
That was enough to hold off the slumping Giants, who were shut out for the ninth time this season.
Both starters were dominant but left without a decision.
Chicago rookie Chris Rusin needed just 27 pitches to get through the third inning and didn't allow a baserunner until Pence's one-out walk in the fifth. One batter later Joaquin Arias grounded a single to center to end the no-hit bid.
Rusin also worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the sixth and got help in the seventh when first baseman Anthony Rizzo made a leaping stab of Brandon Belt's high liner to strand Pence at third base after he led off the inning with a ground-rule double.
Bumgarner was equally effective until leaving for a pinch hitter in the eighth.
The Giants' most consistent starter this season and an All-Star, Bumgarner overcame a pair of errors behind him and pitched out of a two-on, two-out jam when Andres Torres made a diving catch on Schierholtz's sinking liner in the sixth. He finished with seven strikeouts and two walks.
NOTES: The Giants committed two more errors and lead the majors with 76 this season. ... Giants RHP Ryan Vogelsong threw 45 pitches over 2 2-3 innings in his second rehabilitation outing after going on the disabled list with a fractured right hand. Vogelsong will accompany the big league club on a trip to the White House on Monday before joining Double-A Richmond for his next appearance. ... RHP Tim Lincecum (5-10, 4.73 ERA), who allowed eight runs on Monday in his first start since throwing a no-hitter, pitches for the Giants in the series finale. ... LHP Travis Wood (6-7, 2.95) goes for Chicago and is winless in four career starts against San Francisco. ... Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti rejoined the club after having elbow surgery Wednesday.
