Although Apple has now officially confirmed that there will indeed be a media event taking place on September 12th at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, we can all breathe a heavy sigh of relief and get our credit cards ready for whatever the company announces on that day. It's widely expected that Apple will introduce us to the sixth-generation iPhone, but considering the rumor that we will see up to eight new Apple products released between now and the end of October, the possibility still remains that the Cupertino giants could announce a couple of new iPods on Wednesday or even the new iPad Mini that we have all been expecting. The chances for the latter actually happening are extremely low, though.
The iPhone 5's announcement is almost upon us, and although we've seen prototypes of the upcoming smartphone measured up against the current iPhone 4S on numerous occasions, many of the images and videos released hitherto have been far from clear. Now, though, parts and repairs company iResQ has fully assembled an iPhone 5 using various bits and pieces it has received, and offered the anxious tech world a very up-close and personal look at the next-gen Apple smartphone compared with its predecessor.
Although the official unveiling of the iPhone 5 remains a week away, we already have a pretty solid idea of what'll be in store in terms of aesthetics and vital hardware specification. Yerba Buena in San Francisco, California will place Tim Cook and Co. in familiar surroundings come September 12th, and even though we've been treated to a glut of images and videos of the next-generation Apple smartphone, it now appears as though we've gotten our first look at the device in action. Well, sort of.
With Apple sending out media invites today for the official unveiling of the next iPhone - or the iPhone 5 as the subliminal message reveals in the invite image itself - we’re just days away from getting a glimpse of what is going to be yet another game changing smartphone from Apple.
Battery life on smartphones is, for the most part, pretty poor. The old Nokia cellphone of the late 1990's could manage days and days of usage without giving in, and although the current array of handheld phones offer a great deal more than Snake, and.. erm.. the Nokia Tune, the price one has to pay in terms of juice retention is pretty staggering.
With all of the going-ons in the mobile smartphone space in the last few weeks, the GooPhone I5 handset may have managed to slip through the shutters without any of us knowing a great deal about it. For those who may not know, the GooPhone I5 isn't a sticky, congealed mess as the name suggests, but is instead a blatant copy of the new iPhone's design that is being sold in the Chinese market. Fair play to the makers who have actually managed to build a functional device based on Apple's leaked designs and got it on sale before the fruit company themselves, but the rest of the story is borderline laughable.
The battles between Apple and Samsung have taken up a large chunk of blog-space this year, but whilst the Cupertino company may have recently prevailed in the courtroom over its bitter rival, back in the mobile market, it appears the Korean company is making very good headway.
The launch of the next iPhone is almost upon us, and in order to be completely ready for the sixth-generation iPhone device, carriers are beginning to see shipments of the Nano-SIM long-expected to be a requirement for using the device. Apple was among the first to deploy the Micro-SIM with the iPhone 4 back in 2010, and in order to save even more space within the smartphone's interior, the Nano-SIM does away with essentially all unnecessary plastic.
Remember the iPhone 5 Conversion Mod Kit we covered about ten days ago here at Redmond Pie? Well, after being stopped by Apple from selling their kit (for reasons we’ll discuss in a minute), the kit has been re-launched temporarily for people who missed it in the first round.
If you happen to be a big fan of the Hollywood legend Bruce Willis, then I apologize in advance for not bringing you the latest news about his career and when his next blockbuster movie will be hitting the big screen. Best known for his role in some of the greatest action movies ever made such as Die Hard, The Last Boy Scout and the cult classic Pulp Fiction, it looks as though Willis is temporarily putting aside fighting on-screen villains and instead choosing to fight his next battle in the courtroom as he looks to extract some iTunes related privileges out of Apple.
