Apple's iTunes Festival has increased in popularity since first launching in 2007, and has just released details of some of this year's featured acts, including popular artists such as Usher and Norah Jones.
Five months before Apple is expected to bring the next iPhone to market, rumors are already swirling like a tornado waiting to rip out the hearts of fanboys the world over. We've had plenty of claims and counter claims already, and that shows no sign of changing before an Apple executive puts foot to stage in order to announce just what the next iPhone will be like.
One of the things I personally found most fascinating about the late, great Steve Jobs was his dogmatic approach to everything that he did. Unfazed by skepticism, he took visions and ideas, remained vigorously dedicated to them, and while some were relatively hit-and-miss, the company he co-founded with Steve Wozniak has produced some of the most iconic and era-defining devices and innovations ever seen.
All the talk may currently be surrounding the unannounced iPhone 5, but there is still plenty of life in the two models that are currently on the market. Apple's iPhone 4S is arguably the best smartphone out there right now, especially if you don't want to go the Android route, and the iPhone 4 is becoming a killer budget smartphone in its own right.
With all eyes set towards WWDC next month for any news pertaining to the next version of Apple's iOS, it is easy to put out of our minds the persistent rumor about Apple releasing a miniature version of the iPad. However, that rumor is indeed still persisting, and the latest information to come from Taiwan seems to suggest that the rumor could soon become a mini reality.
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion may be in the hands of developers, but there is another group of people that get software releases often even before those with paid developer accounts.
With Apple looking likely to follow the launch pattern they set in 2011 with the iPhone 4S, users can expect to see an announcement and launch of the sixth-generation iPhone around October time. As the expected release date draws closer, the inevitable speculation and conjecture about the possible aesthetics of the device have started to surface.
Ever since the release of iOS 5 alongside the iPhone 4S, Apple has been struggling to bring the battery life up to par. At first the belief was that perhaps the issue was hardware related, rather than the software that it shipped with. Soon though, it was clear that owners of the iPhone 4 and other hardware were also suffering from less than stellar battery life. Problems indeed.
Although it is highly likely that it will take another five months or so until Apple decides to introduce the world to their sixth-generation iPhone, the company thankfully never leaves technology fans waiting too long before it gives us something to get excited about. Apple has only recently pushed out iOS 5.1.1 to the public, but with their annual Worldwide Developer Conference looming, recent findings are adding to the speculation that we will see iOS 6 introduced at the event in San Francisco.
With Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference being just a few weeks away, we have reached that point in the year again when speculation and conjecture surrounding the launch of the next-generation iPhone increases dramatically. Historically, Apple have used their developer conference in San Francisco to showcase new iPhone releases, but that trend was broken last year when the Cupertino company decided to launch the current model, the iPhone 4S, in October rather than June.
