An individual soliciting donations to support the production of a documentary, for example, might give free copies of the finished product to investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new model, companies can register with the SEC as funding portals without having to be a licensed broker-dealer. Broker-dealers are heavily regulated firms that are authorized to sell securities to investors and to give what the SEC considers investment advice.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Equity-based crowdfunding would allow companies to bypass broker-dealers and sell shares to investors who do not meet the $200,000 annual income or $1 million net worth thresholds required under federal law to become an “accredited investor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think there’s a great opportunity to reach a wider crowd,” said Rory Eakin, co-founder of CircleUp, a San Francisco-based startup that raises funds for companies through a partnership with an established broker-dealer. Rather than wait until the rules are finalized, Eakin said the company is in the process of registering as a broker-dealer itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One important issue the SEC faces as it drafts the crowdfunding regulations is how the funding portals will be allowed to solicit investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally, only broker-dealers are allowed to give what the SEC broadly defines as “investment advice,” a caveat included in the Investment Company Act of 1940 to protect investors. But if a funding portal sends out advertisements to average investors notifying them of a new investment opportunity, there is concern that it could constitute giving advice, said Freeman White, co-founder and CEO of the technology company Launcht, which helps set up funding portals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White, who is also a member of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cfira.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Crowdfund Intermediary Regulatory Advocates\u003c/a>, was one of a handful of private industry executives who met with SEC regulators in Washington this month to discuss limits on advertising and soliciting investors. The meeting was the latest in a half-dozen between the group and the SEC, which recently closed the public comment period on its proposed rule changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A portal might send around newsletters that say, ‘You should check this out,’ ” White said. “The concern is that the public will connote that with investment advice. So we’re trying to work out what constitutes advice and how far is too far.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue has the attention of many Bay Area startups looking to use the crowdfunding model to fund specific industries, such as CircleUp, which focuses exclusively on retail companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In these cases, the question is whether soliciting potential investors with two or three cash-strapped startups constitutes advice because of the limited scope of the offers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fear, said David Blass, chief counsel and associate director of the SEC’s Trading and Markets Division, is that portals will cherry-pick specific investment opportunities while ignoring others that could be in the best interest of investors. By narrowing the field of investments, Blass said an offer could be taken as giving advice to invest in a particular company or niche industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The JOBS Act also prohibits portals from using personal information to target ads to investors.

An individual soliciting donations to support the production of a documentary, for example, might give free copies of the finished product to investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new model, companies can register with the SEC as funding portals without having to be a licensed broker-dealer. Broker-dealers are heavily regulated firms that are authorized to sell securities to investors and to give what the SEC considers investment advice.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Equity-based crowdfunding would allow companies to bypass broker-dealers and sell shares to investors who do not meet the $200,000 annual income or $1 million net worth thresholds required under federal law to become an “accredited investor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think there’s a great opportunity to reach a wider crowd,” said Rory Eakin, co-founder of CircleUp, a San Francisco-based startup that raises funds for companies through a partnership with an established broker-dealer. Rather than wait until the rules are finalized, Eakin said the company is in the process of registering as a broker-dealer itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One important issue the SEC faces as it drafts the crowdfunding regulations is how the funding portals will be allowed to solicit investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally, only broker-dealers are allowed to give what the SEC broadly defines as “investment advice,” a caveat included in the Investment Company Act of 1940 to protect investors. But if a funding portal sends out advertisements to average investors notifying them of a new investment opportunity, there is concern that it could constitute giving advice, said Freeman White, co-founder and CEO of the technology company Launcht, which helps set up funding portals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White, who is also a member of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cfira.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Crowdfund Intermediary Regulatory Advocates\u003c/a>, was one of a handful of private industry executives who met with SEC regulators in Washington this month to discuss limits on advertising and soliciting investors. The meeting was the latest in a half-dozen between the group and the SEC, which recently closed the public comment period on its proposed rule changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A portal might send around newsletters that say, ‘You should check this out,’ ” White said. “The concern is that the public will connote that with investment advice. So we’re trying to work out what constitutes advice and how far is too far.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue has the attention of many Bay Area startups looking to use the crowdfunding model to fund specific industries, such as CircleUp, which focuses exclusively on retail companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In these cases, the question is whether soliciting potential investors with two or three cash-strapped startups constitutes advice because of the limited scope of the offers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fear, said David Blass, chief counsel and associate director of the SEC’s Trading and Markets Division, is that portals will cherry-pick specific investment opportunities while ignoring others that could be in the best interest of investors. By narrowing the field of investments, Blass said an offer could be taken as giving advice to invest in a particular company or niche industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The JOBS Act also prohibits portals from using personal information to target ads to investors. If an investor searched a portal for a specific company, for example, it would be illegal for that website to target advertisements for similar companies based on the search terms. The practice is common for online shopping websites like Amazon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SEC has until the end of the year to roll out the final regulations, but many in the industry say it isn’t likely to happen until next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some expect the SEC to give crowdfunding portals very little leeway in advertising investment opportunities.

Donnelley said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The embarrassing mix-up prompted Google CEO Larry Page to preface his review of the quarter with an apology during a conference call with analysts. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>``I am sorry for the scramble earlier today,'' Page said, still sounding hoarse from a mysterious throat ailment. The problem left Page unable to speak during the summer, causing him to skip Google's second-quarter earnings call three months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Page went on to paint a bright picture, not only of the most recent quarter, but for the next few years. ``Every day, I wake up and I am delighted about our opportunities to keep growing,'' he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pep talk didn't immediately resonate with investors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's stock initially plunged more than 9 percent after the early release of the results. Trading was then suspended to allow more time for the information to be digested. After a nearly three-hour break, investors decided the results weren't quite as bad as they initially appeared, and the shares recovered slightly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, the stock wound up dropping $60.49, or 8 percent, to close at $695.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sell-off reflects a reversal of the optimistic sentiment that had propelled Google's stock to an all-time high earlier this month. The stock had surged 27 percent in the three months before Thursday's unsettling developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google earned $2.18 billion, or $6.53 per share, during the three months ending in September. That compared with net income of $2.73 billion, or $8.33 per share, last year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earnings would have been $9.03 per share, if not for Google's accounting costs for employee stock compensation and the Motorola charges. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting $10.63 per share, on average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Revenue climbed 45 percent from last year to $14.1 billion. Excluding compensation for websites that generate traffic for Google's ads, revenue was $11.33 billion. Analysts were expecting $11.86 billion\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the trouble appeared to be concentrated in Motorola Mobility, a troubled cellphone maker that Google bought for $12.4 billion in May. Analysts have been fretting that Motorola Mobility would turn into a financial albatross, and some of those fears appeared to be realized in the latest quarter spanning from July through September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The device maker suffered an operating loss of $527 million, more than tripling from the same time last year when it was still an independent company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google is trying to improve Motorola Mobility's performance by laying off about 20 percent of its workforce -- about 4,000 employees _ and closing one-third of its 90 plants and office. Those cost-cutting measures resulted in $349 million in charges during the quarter. But it still could take a few years for Google to turn around Motorola Mobility, Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette said on the conference call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stronger dollar also hurt Google, just as it has many other U.S. companies that do a lot of business in other countries. That's because overseas sales are now translating into fewer dollars than a year ago, resulting in less revenue. Excluding Motorola Mobility, Google said its revenue for the latest quarter would have been $557 million, or 5 percent higher, if currencies had remained at the same levels as a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there were also some worrisome signs in Google's main business of selling online advertising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's ad revenue rose 16 percent from the same time last year, the slowest pace in three years. The company's ad revenue had climbed by at least 21 percent in each of the previous 10 quarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advertising accounts for 77 percent of Google's revenue. The rest comes from Motorola Mobility and other products, such as Google's recently released Nexus 7 tablet computer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As has been the case for the past year, the average prices companies pay Google for ads appearing alongside search results also fell. The year-over-year decline for advertiser's ``cost-per-click'' on Google's ads declined 15 percent from the same time last year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decelerating growth in ad revenue is likely being driven by the growing use of smartphones and tablet computers to access the Internet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ads are more difficult to see on smartphones, in particular, so marketers aren't willing to pay as much for those commercial messages as they do for ads that are seen by people on personal computers. And people relying on mobile devices tend to use specially designed applications that so far haven't been set up to show as many ads as can be seen in Web browsers. People using mobile apps also have less reason to conduct searches on Google, depriving the company of opportunities to show ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>``I am not at all worried about this because I think we are better position than most companies,'' Page assured analysts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google is reaping more revenue from the rapidly growing mobile market, largely because of its Android software than now powers more than 500 million devices. The company gives away Android to device makers, but the software is fruitful for Google because it's designed to drive up more traffic to its search engine and other services that show ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Page said the mobile market is now generating about $8 billion in annual revenue, including sales of applications, video, books and music in its Play store. Not all of those, sales, though, are recorded in Google's books because most of the money goes to developers, studios and publishers. A year ago, Google said the mobile market was generating about $2.5 billion in annual revenue, but that figure consisted entirely of ads, so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison to the $8 billion.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The problem left Page unable to speak during the summer, causing him to skip Google's second-quarter earnings call three months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Page went on to paint a bright picture, not only of the most recent quarter, but for the next few years. ``Every day, I wake up and I am delighted about our opportunities to keep growing,'' he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pep talk didn't immediately resonate with investors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's stock initially plunged more than 9 percent after the early release of the results. Trading was then suspended to allow more time for the information to be digested. After a nearly three-hour break, investors decided the results weren't quite as bad as they initially appeared, and the shares recovered slightly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, the stock wound up dropping $60.49, or 8 percent, to close at $695.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sell-off reflects a reversal of the optimistic sentiment that had propelled Google's stock to an all-time high earlier this month. The stock had surged 27 percent in the three months before Thursday's unsettling developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google earned $2.18 billion, or $6.53 per share, during the three months ending in September. That compared with net income of $2.73 billion, or $8.33 per share, last year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earnings would have been $9.03 per share, if not for Google's accounting costs for employee stock compensation and the Motorola charges. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting $10.63 per share, on average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Revenue climbed 45 percent from last year to $14.1 billion. Excluding compensation for websites that generate traffic for Google's ads, revenue was $11.33 billion. Analysts were expecting $11.86 billion\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the trouble appeared to be concentrated in Motorola Mobility, a troubled cellphone maker that Google bought for $12.4 billion in May. Analysts have been fretting that Motorola Mobility would turn into a financial albatross, and some of those fears appeared to be realized in the latest quarter spanning from July through September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The device maker suffered an operating loss of $527 million, more than tripling from the same time last year when it was still an independent company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google is trying to improve Motorola Mobility's performance by laying off about 20 percent of its workforce -- about 4,000 employees _ and closing one-third of its 90 plants and office. Those cost-cutting measures resulted in $349 million in charges during the quarter. But it still could take a few years for Google to turn around Motorola Mobility, Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette said on the conference call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stronger dollar also hurt Google, just as it has many other U.S. companies that do a lot of business in other countries. That's because overseas sales are now translating into fewer dollars than a year ago, resulting in less revenue. Excluding Motorola Mobility, Google said its revenue for the latest quarter would have been $557 million, or 5 percent higher, if currencies had remained at the same levels as a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there were also some worrisome signs in Google's main business of selling online advertising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's ad revenue rose 16 percent from the same time last year, the slowest pace in three years. The company's ad revenue had climbed by at least 21 percent in each of the previous 10 quarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advertising accounts for 77 percent of Google's revenue. The rest comes from Motorola Mobility and other products, such as Google's recently released Nexus 7 tablet computer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As has been the case for the past year, the average prices companies pay Google for ads appearing alongside search results also fell. The year-over-year decline for advertiser's ``cost-per-click'' on Google's ads declined 15 percent from the same time last year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decelerating growth in ad revenue is likely being driven by the growing use of smartphones and tablet computers to access the Internet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ads are more difficult to see on smartphones, in particular, so marketers aren't willing to pay as much for those commercial messages as they do for ads that are seen by people on personal computers. And people relying on mobile devices tend to use specially designed applications that so far haven't been set up to show as many ads as can be seen in Web browsers. People using mobile apps also have less reason to conduct searches on Google, depriving the company of opportunities to show ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>``I am not at all worried about this because I think we are better position than most companies,'' Page assured analysts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google is reaping more revenue from the rapidly growing mobile market, largely because of its Android software than now powers more than 500 million devices. The company gives away Android to device makers, but the software is fruitful for Google because it's designed to drive up more traffic to its search engine and other services that show ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Inc to clarify an evident misinterpretation of fact in our recent statement responding to the San Francisco Chronicle's flare monitoring article. As we correctly stated, the pipe at issue was part of a safety system installed in 2003 -- prior to BAAMQD's (sic) flare monitoring regulations. In 2009 we advised BAAMQD that we did not recognize the need for a meter on this line and that the resulting by-pass -- properly characterized by BAAMQD as ‘fairly small’ -- was inadvertent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We did not intend to convey that we initially brought this matter to the attention of BAAMQD. The reported statement by BAAMQD Manager Wayne Kino is absolutely correct in this regard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BAAQMD personnel working on site at the refinery first identified the problem, then we worked cooperatively with them to gather the necessary information to find out what happened and why and how to take appropriate action to fix it. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this point.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So...if we interpret this correctly, when Chevron officials wrote to the Chron that \"we advised BAAQMD of this issue three years ago,\" they did not mean that they proactively reported the infraction, as Mr. Comey acknowledges above. The \"issue\" they \"advised BAAQMD\" of, as cited in the Chron letter, was the issue of them \"not recognizing the need for a meter on this line.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Got it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We wanted to clarify the clarification with Mr. Comey, but he said Chevron had nothing to add to the posted comment.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And that contradicted what BAAQMD manager Wayne Kino told both the Chronicle and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/09/24/chevron-disputes-report-on-criminal-investigation/\">KQED\u003c/a>: He said it was district inspectors who uncovered the issue and brought it to the attention of Chevron.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Chevron spokesperson Sean Comey clarified this discrepancy, writing in a comment on this blog that \"We did not intend to convey that we initially brought this matter to the attention of BAAQMD.\" Here’s the rest of what he posted:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I write on behalf of Chevron U.S.A. Inc to clarify an evident misinterpretation of fact in our recent statement responding to the San Francisco Chronicle's flare monitoring article. As we correctly stated, the pipe at issue was part of a safety system installed in 2003 -- prior to BAAMQD's (sic) flare monitoring regulations. In 2009 we advised BAAMQD that we did not recognize the need for a meter on this line and that the resulting by-pass -- properly characterized by BAAMQD as ‘fairly small’ -- was inadvertent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We did not intend to convey that we initially brought this matter to the attention of BAAMQD. The reported statement by BAAMQD Manager Wayne Kino is absolutely correct in this regard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BAAQMD personnel working on site at the refinery first identified the problem, then we worked cooperatively with them to gather the necessary information to find out what happened and why and how to take appropriate action to fix it. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this point.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So...if we interpret this correctly, when Chevron officials wrote to the Chron that \"we advised BAAQMD of this issue three years ago,\" they did not mean that they proactively reported the infraction, as Mr. Comey acknowledges above. The \"issue\" they \"advised BAAQMD\" of, as cited in the Chron letter, was the issue of them \"not recognizing the need for a meter on this line.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Got it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We wanted to clarify the clarification with Mr. Comey, but he said Chevron had nothing to add to the posted comment.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This amount is so small that even if it were metered, a causal report would not be required by BAAQMD, and it presented no public health risk.

Kino confirmed that the pipe in question pre-dated the regulations that required monitoring of emissions. \"Prior to 2004, any flow through that pipe [would have been] legal.

They did notice there was some flare activity, they went to the flow monitors for the flare, and discovered the monitor showed zero flow. So their visual of seeing some flaring and the monitoring recording equipment not recording the flow, there was something wrong there and they investigated further.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When asked directly whether Chevron was trying to deceive regulators, he would only say, \"they failed to notify us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the magnitude of the health risk, Kino said, \"We found they had used it 27 times from 2005 to 2009.

That's another feature that was widely expected. Some competing phones in the U.S. have had this ability for a year and an half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger screen moves Apple somewhat closer to competing smartphones, but the iPhone is still small compared to its main rivals. Samsung Electronics Co., Apple's biggest competitor, has increased the screen size of its flagship phone line every year, and it's now 4.8 inches on the diagonal, about 45 percent larger than the one on the new iPhone.

That means Apple is still the holdout in an industry where other manufacturers have settled on a standard connector for charging and computer backups.\n\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>There will be adapters available so that the new phone will be able to connect to sound docks and other accessories designed for the old phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thanks to new technology that eliminates a separate touch-sensing layer in the screen, the phone is 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter, said Apple marketing head Phil Schiller. He spoke at an Apple event in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The camera on the back of the iPhone 5 has the same resolution as the one on the iPhone 4S, but takes pictures faster and works better in low light, Apple said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The front-facing camera is getting an upgrade to high-definition, letting users take advantage of the faster data networks for videoconferencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The iPhone 5 will arrive with a new version of Apple's operating system, iOS. It will be available for download to older phones on Sept. 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One feature missing from the new phone is a chip for near-field communications, or NFC. Other top-of-the-line phones are incorporating such chips, which let phones work as credit cards at some store payment terminals. They also enable phones to share data when \"bumped\" into each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple also announced a new iPod Touch model that brings over the changes applied to the iPhone 5, including the bigger screen and smaller connection port. For the first time, Apple's voice-controlled personal assistant software, Siri, will be available on the iPod.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple is also updating its iTunes software for the Mac and PC, with what is says is a \"dramatically simpler and cleaner interface.\" It will be available as a free download in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another audio-related update, the white earbuds that ship with all of Apple's portable devices are getting an update. Now called \"earpods,\" they're tube-shaped, which Apple says will help meld them to the shape of your ear. The earpods took three years to design, Apple said. They'll go on sale Wednesday as a stand-alone accessory, but will be included free with new devices out in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple's main announcements were largely in line with investor expectations, and their response was tepid. Apple shares fell $1.64, or 0.3 percent, to $658.95 in afternoon trading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shares have been on a tear as expectations rose for the iPhone 5, rallying 16 percent since Apple's latest earnings report, in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update\u003c/strong>: Apple has put up its \u003ca href=\"http://www.apple.com/iphone/\">iPhone 5 page\u003c/a>. \"The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone\" is the tagline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"analysis\">\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>Update 2\u003c/strong>: We talked to tech analyst/consultant/\u003ca href=\"http://www.pcmag.com/category2/0,2806,2079052,00.asp\">columnist\u003c/a> Tim Bajarin, who has been checking the phone out. Here's what he has to say about it:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The iPhone 5 is the best-engineered smartphone I've ever seen. When you touch it, it feels like a piece of jewelry. Apple has actually completely rearchitected components. Faster processor yet smaller. The 4-inch screen makes a huge difference from the standpoint of more surface space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This will sell in huge quantities because there are a lot of people who have not upgraded yet and their contracts are up, so there will be pent-up demand there. And then there will be consistent demand by individuals drawn to the new industrial design.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the engineering level, it's by far superior to anything I've seen in the Android or Windows 8 camp. From that standpoint, there will be more people looking at this as the best-designed smartphone. So competitors will be playing catch-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a much better designed phone than the last time.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/383394/20120912/apple-iphone-5-release-event-live-coverage.htm\">Live blogs\u003c/a> of today's announcement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20120912/coming-up-live-apples-iphone-event/\">AllThingsD\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://mashable.com/2012/09/12/apple-iphone-5-launch-live/\">Mashable\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57509632-37/apples-iphone-event-join-us-wednesday-live-blog/\">CNET\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://live.gizmodo.com/\">Gizmodo\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2409547,00.asp\">PCMag\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://gigaom.com/2012/09/12/live-blog-apple-iphone-5-event/\">GigaOm\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/09/live-blog-apple-iphone-2012/\">Wired\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/12/apple-iphone-5-liveblog/\">Engadget\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

That's another feature that was widely expected. Some competing phones in the U.S. have had this ability for a year and an half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger screen moves Apple somewhat closer to competing smartphones, but the iPhone is still small compared to its main rivals. Samsung Electronics Co., Apple's biggest competitor, has increased the screen size of its flagship phone line every year, and it's now 4.8 inches on the diagonal, about 45 percent larger than the one on the new iPhone. The new iPhone is lighter than Samsung's new Galaxy S III.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$199 for 16GB of storage, $399 for 64GB.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Pre-orders Sept. 14, in stores Sept. 21.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>18% thinner than 4S.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>20% lighter than 4S.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>With the new model, Apple is ditching the connection port it's used for iPods, iPhones and iPads for nearly a decade in favor of a smaller, narrower one. That means Apple is still the holdout in an industry where other manufacturers have settled on a standard connector for charging and computer backups.\n\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>There will be adapters available so that the new phone will be able to connect to sound docks and other accessories designed for the old phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thanks to new technology that eliminates a separate touch-sensing layer in the screen, the phone is 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter, said Apple marketing head Phil Schiller. He spoke at an Apple event in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The camera on the back of the iPhone 5 has the same resolution as the one on the iPhone 4S, but takes pictures faster and works better in low light, Apple said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The front-facing camera is getting an upgrade to high-definition, letting users take advantage of the faster data networks for videoconferencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The iPhone 5 will arrive with a new version of Apple's operating system, iOS. It will be available for download to older phones on Sept. 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One feature missing from the new phone is a chip for near-field communications, or NFC. Other top-of-the-line phones are incorporating such chips, which let phones work as credit cards at some store payment terminals. They also enable phones to share data when \"bumped\" into each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple also announced a new iPod Touch model that brings over the changes applied to the iPhone 5, including the bigger screen and smaller connection port. For the first time, Apple's voice-controlled personal assistant software, Siri, will be available on the iPod.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple is also updating its iTunes software for the Mac and PC, with what is says is a \"dramatically simpler and cleaner interface.\" It will be available as a free download in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another audio-related update, the white earbuds that ship with all of Apple's portable devices are getting an update. Now called \"earpods,\" they're tube-shaped, which Apple says will help meld them to the shape of your ear. The earpods took three years to design, Apple said. They'll go on sale Wednesday as a stand-alone accessory, but will be included free with new devices out in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple's main announcements were largely in line with investor expectations, and their response was tepid. Apple shares fell $1.64, or 0.3 percent, to $658.95 in afternoon trading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shares have been on a tear as expectations rose for the iPhone 5, rallying 16 percent since Apple's latest earnings report, in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update\u003c/strong>: Apple has put up its \u003ca href=\"http://www.apple.com/iphone/\">iPhone 5 page\u003c/a>. \"The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone\" is the tagline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"analysis\">\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>Update 2\u003c/strong>: We talked to tech analyst/consultant/\u003ca href=\"http://www.pcmag.com/category2/0,2806,2079052,00.asp\">columnist\u003c/a> Tim Bajarin, who has been checking the phone out. Here's what he has to say about it:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The iPhone 5 is the best-engineered smartphone I've ever seen. When you touch it, it feels like a piece of jewelry. Apple has actually completely rearchitected components. Faster processor yet smaller. The 4-inch screen makes a huge difference from the standpoint of more surface space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This will sell in huge quantities because there are a lot of people who have not upgraded yet and their contracts are up, so there will be pent-up demand there. And then there will be consistent demand by individuals drawn to the new industrial design.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the engineering level, it's by far superior to anything I've seen in the Android or Windows 8 camp. From that standpoint, there will be more people looking at this as the best-designed smartphone. So competitors will be playing catch-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a much better designed phone than the last time.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/383394/20120912/apple-iphone-5-release-event-live-coverage.htm\">Live blogs\u003c/a> of today's announcement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20120912/coming-up-live-apples-iphone-event/\">AllThingsD\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://mashable.com/2012/09/12/apple-iphone-5-launch-live/\">Mashable\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57509632-37/apples-iphone-event-join-us-wednesday-live-blog/\">CNET\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://live.gizmodo.com/\">Gizmodo\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2409547,00.asp\">PCMag\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://gigaom.com/2012/09/12/live-blog-apple-iphone-5-event/\">GigaOm\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/09/live-blog-apple-iphone-2012/\">Wired\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/12/apple-iphone-5-liveblog/\">Engadget\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
