hey I'm Kareem levy and welcome to rumor has it the show that rounds up the week's biggest tech rumors and you can vote on what you think about the rumors too in the interactive player if you're watching on CNN this week Apple's at it again and it seems that Nokia wants to help you find yourself let's get started first up Lumia smartphone owners will find it easier to find things that they might have misplaced if a new rumor pans out the verge citing anonymous sources reports that Nokia plans to unveil a proximity gadget for its Lumia lineup the sensor that's called a treasure tag could be attached to all sorts of items like your keys your wallet a bike a purse this sounds like similar devices that work with Android and iOS but this would be specific to the Lumia line you'd then be able to track down the location of the item directly from your smartphone using bluetooth 4.0 and NFC once you're close enough the tag would emit a sound to pinpoint the exact spot it's like a game of hot and cold but with your phone I can imagine that this would be useful for lots of people but the problem that I have is that I lose my phone so I guess I'm screwed next up among the millions of iphone rumors one that keeps popping up is that there might be a low-cost addition to the lineup that's being referred to as the iphone 5c maybe c for cheap and as apples fall product reveal approaches alleged images of the new iphone parts are appearing with greater frequency the latest is this photo of packaging for an iphone 5c which appeared on the Chinese way phone discussion forum and reports citing worker abuse at apple supplier pegatron inadvertently mentions an iphone with the plastic cover and even further protective cases for the alleged iphone 5c are already up on Amazon who's going to buy a case for a phone that doesn't even exist yet but I actually do think that Apple will produce a cheaper iPhone that way everybody can have one but how would a cheaper iPhone be any different some might even say that going back to a plastic back would be better no more shattered phones which lead to shattered dreams what do you ice think is Apple working on a cheaper iPhone don't forget to vote and leave a comment and I'll ask the cnet council what it thinks the cnet Council is composed of five editors who cast their votes anonymously their opinions are not an endorsement by Cena or CBS Interactive obviously because these are rumors folks and the cnet council's verdict is yes three out of five cnet editors think that there will be a lower-cost iPhone but that it won't be for the US market interesting that's our show everybody please share your rumors that rumor has it at cnet com or call us at 1 800 750 cnet and tweet us and tune in next week for more tech rumors
