The latest scoop from the Center City-based technology journalist is causing a lot of buzz among Apple fans who just can't wait until the company makes it official next month.

How does the Venture Beat reporter get the big gets he's been getting since 2011? Blass says this leak comes from a company that does a lot of business making iPhone cases -- they need to know device specs so their products are ready to go on release day. And even though Apple is obsessed with secrecy, they'd be hard-pressed to claim they don't benefit from the attention.

"People who are fans of Apple are hungry. They're really anticipating any information about this particular handset," said Blass.
