Looking for a way to recover deleted photos on the iPhone? The scenario can be grim when important images are deleted before being backed up or imported to iPhoto. Unfortunately, iOS does not have a trash can or recycling bin that stores deleted files.

This means that when pictures are deleted in the Photos app or elsewhere they are immediately removed from the iPhone. So is there any hope for recovery? Luckily there are several software packages that can be used to recover deleted images on iOS hardware. Leawo iOS Data Recovery is one example, which can be installed on Mac or Windows computers for $59.95.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple has been hiring hundreds of engineers and supply chain managers in China and Taiwan, in an effort to support a faster paced product release schedule. With a pair of new iPhones on the way (supposedly), a new iPad, a new Apple TV and the iWatch among others, Apple now has more new products than ever before. The amount of new products, coupled with an increasingly shorter product cycle and a major push into the Chinese market with the China Mobile deal, warrants the hiring spree. Apple now has over 600 engineers and operations staff in China, and a global total of 80,300 full-time employees, up from 72,800 a year earlier.

A member of the Chinese forum WeiPhone has posted two purported images of an iPhone 6 digitizer. The pictures reveal that the next-generation Apple handset will feature a larger screen due to its lack of side bezels, however, it is unknown how the pictures were obtained and if the images are real.

As you can see above and below, the images seem to show how the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 differ, but the cutout for the Home button on the purported iPhone 6 digitizer seems a little bit off. This could mean the images are fakes, or they were just taken of an early prototype for the next-generation iPhone.
