Apple has announced the iPhone 5 today at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California. It’s been one of the most boring smartphone announcement events this writer has ever followed live, as most of the things Apple has discussed so far were leaked into the blogosphere weeks and months before the company’s representatives went onstage.
The iPhone 5 packs plenty of new and interesting features, and among them is a significantly improved camera. To some less tech-savvy consumers, a transition from an 8-megapixel snapper to, well, another 8-megapixel camera will mean - in their eyes - the rear-facing shooter is unchanged, although as we know, there are plenty of different aspects of a decent camera, and the number of megapixels is certainly not he bottom line.
Apple has put us all out of our smartphone related misery and finally announced the details of the sixth-generation iPhone, and is dubbed the iPhone 5. After months of intense speculation surrounding the multiple leaked parts and component images that have been flying around the net, Tim Cook and his team have finally lifted the lid on the smartphone that they hope will lead them into the new year in the top spot. Many of the new iPhone's included features are in line with what we expected, although as always Apple have managed to slip in a few little additions.
Whenever new iDevices emerge, an update to Apple's iTunes application is usually released around the same time, and today at the Yerba Buena in San Francisco, the Cupertino company has announced iTunes 10.7.
With the iPhone 5 having just been announced, many of you will be desperate to get your hands on the device, and Apple has just revealed it will be available to preorder from September 14th, which is the coming Friday, while shipping is set for September 21st.
At their special media event, Apple today has announced the final availability iOS 6. Having first been given the once-over at WWDC '12, Apple has presented us with a full-on showcase of its brand-new mobile operating system, known as iOS 6. As well as the features we've already seen, there were other new and exciting implementations on show, and here, we take a moment to sum up some of the most exciting of them.
As with the leaked info post regarding upcoming Apple accessories we brought you earlier, there'll likely be quite a few general reports during the next couple of hours leading up to the beginning of the event, and in our latest roundup of intelligence regarding today's special keynote gathering, it looks as though the iPhone 5 name seems a dead certainty.
The main focus of attention at today's Apple media event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco is, without doubt, the next-generation iPhone. Fans have yearned for months for this day to arrive, and despite the anticipation regarding the fruit company's smartphone, it's by no means the only thing on show at the event.
In about 17 hours from the time I type this, Apple will open the doors at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California where they will be announcing the next iPhone. We have seen plenty of rumors and reports and leaks over the past few weeks and months which give a definite shape to the illusive device’s hardware, but there’s one thing in the air that is still heavily discussed and, so far, inconclusive: the next iPhone’s name.
The iPhone is an extremely powerful piece of kit and comes embedded with a more than capable on-board camera which produces some wonderful images that can then be shared across a variety of social networks or uploaded to popular apps like Instagram for the world to see.
