  • Apple Won’t Be Launching The iPhone 5 In September Afterall, New Report Suggest October Release

    There has been a lot of contradiction as far as the iPhone 5′s (4S, 4GS or whatever it’s gonna be called) release date is concerned. We’ve narrowed it down to the months of September or October.

    AllThingD quoted a source which knows highly about Apple’s plans.

    “I don’t know why AT&T’s calling for all hands on deck those weeks, but it’s not for an iPhone launch,” a source familiar with Apple’s plans said.

    So when can we expect the company to uncrate the iPhone 5?

    “October,” the source said, while declining to offer a hard-launch date. Other sources said it will be later in the month, rather than earlier.

    The source failed to provide any details about the next iPhone’s design or internals but we’ve come to know from the supply chain that the phone will feature the iPad’s dual core A5 processor, a dual GSM/CDMA baseband radio and a 8MP camera will supposedly 1080p video recording.

  • New Features Of iOS 5

    So the highly anticipated iOS 5 announcement is here. Here is an overview of the new features of the iOS 5 introduced at the WWDC. Keep in mind that these are just a few of the features and there are other less important ones which weren’t announced at the WWDC.

    Notification Center

    The first feature, which is also the most expected one, is the all new notifications system. At first look, it bears a striking resemblance to the one used in android. Apple has finally gotten rid of those annoying push notifications which plagued the iPhone.Now, the notifications can be accessed by pulling the top bar down, like in android devices. They can then be viewed individually by sliding across to reveal the notification. The notifications can be closed by tapping on the cross. Click here for more information

    Deep Twitter Integration

    The second feature is native twitter integration of the iOS devices. Twitter applications can now be integrated with other applications.The setup for twitter has been simplified and now it can also automatically update contacts if they have twitter handles. Overall, the Twitter user interface is made smoother and now is much more pleasant to use. Click here for more information

    News Stand

    The third feature is the news stand. It is more like a virtual newspaper, with magazine and news subscriptions being sent to you virtually on your iOS device. Subscriptions were introduced by Apple a while back, but now the latest editions can be downloaded automatically. They can then be read offline.

     

    Enhanced Safari

    Apple has introduced a lot of new changes to the native Safari browser. First and foremost is the Safari reader, which is placed near the address bar. It aligns text together,and is a handy convenience when reading an all text page, such as a story. Then there is the reading list, which basically lets you read pages off line by saving them. Apple also introduced tabbed browsing on the iOS devices. As said before, twitter integration makes its presence here as tweets can be made using the tweet button, which pops up the tweet sheet.

     

    Camera Updates

    The native camera application has been upgraded drastically. A camera button has been placed on the lockscreen so the camera application can be accessed directly from there without unlocking the phone.Pictures can be taken by using the volume up button, so it acts like a physical camera shutter key. The pictures can be pinched to zoom like in the previous iOS versions, but now the exposure settings can be adjusted automatically by holding onto the touch. Options for editing to some extent are also present such as red-eye reduction, cropping and one click enhancement.

     

    Enhanced Mail Client

    Some features have also been added to the native mail client. These include; Rich-text formatting, indentation control, S-mime, draggable addresses (from To: to Cc: or Bcc:). You can now also search entire contents of messages.

     

    iMessage

    iMessage is a new messaging client available on all iOS 5 devices. Messages,receipts,pictures and videos can be sent amongst all iOS 5 devices using WiFi or 3G. One thing to note is that typing notifications are present here, so the receiver gets noted when the sender is typing a message. Click here for more information

    PC-Free

    With the iOS 5, the iOS devices wouldn’t need to be synced with a PC/Mac to set them up on first start up. The setup is done on the device itself, and software updates are downloaded Over the air, unlike the previous iOS versions wherea computer with itunes was needed to update to the latest iOS version. iTunes library on the device can be synced wirelessly over wifi. Airplay mirroring also lets you display the iPad on a TV wirelessly. Click here for more information.

     

     

    Reminders

    Other features of the iOS 5 include reminders, which can be assigned for any time or location. The dictionary can now be used for all applications downloaded from the app store. It can be accessed by selecting the text and using the define option.

  • New iPhone 5 Image Surfaces, People Can’t Seem To Take Proper Images Anymore

    Time to add another rumor to the rumor mill, iPhone-Release have gotten their hands on a VERY blurry image which they say is of the iPhone 5. The screen size is quite bigger, we guess around 4.3-inches. The screen looks to even have a different aspect ratio which makes us think that this image is a fake since all iOS devices have a 4:3 aspect ratio.

    The phone in the image above also has an “edge to edge” display which has been rumored for quite some time. The sides are just like the iPhone 4. There’s also a front facing camera on the top. We can also part of the box which we guess seem to say iPhone 5.

    So what do you think guys? Real or fake?

  • Apple Proposes Plan for an Even Smaller SIM Card Standard

    Last year, with the advent of the iPad and the iPhone 4, Apple introduced a new SIM-Card standard – the Micro-SIM. Reuters reports that this time around Apple has submitted a new requirement to (European telecoms standards body) ETSI for a smaller SIM form factor, even smaller than the current micro-SIM used in the iPad 1, iPad 2 and iPhone 4.

    “They have done that through the standardization route, through ETSI, with the sponsorship of some major mobile operators, Orange being one of them,” said Anne Bouverot, Orange’s head of mobile services. She further went on to say that the process would take time but the devices supporting this new format could be out as early as next year.
