If there is one thing which iPhone fans out there don't really need is additional confirmation that the new iPhone will be introduced to us next month. Unless it comes from the horse’s mouth of course. Over the last few months, we have been treated to countless leaks of components and parts that form the sixth-generation device and also heard enough speculation about the September 12th announcement date to pretty much convince us all that it's going to happen on that day. All we really need is the official invites from Apple.
We aren't really sure what Apple has in store for us in regards to the naming convention for their next-generation iPhone. It could be the iPhone 5, although that doesn't really make any sense considering it's the sixth-generation of their smartphone. It could follow the route which Apple took with the current iPad model and just called it The New iPad, or it could be something totally different altogether which we aren’t aware of. Regardless of what it's called, the bottom line is the interest in the device is currently at unprecedented levels that have pushed Apple's market capitalization value to the highest of all time, making them the most valuable company in history. Not bad.
One Apple authorized repair company has married two separate iPhone 5 parts leaks, potentially giving us an insight into what we will all be drooling over next month.
It happens every year whenever we get to the point in the iPhone release cycle where Apple is set to announce the next-generation version of the device. Every year, the new iPhone is introduced and it is claimed to be the "best iPhone yet" with a whole host of new features that make the all singing all dancing device which is little bit better than the competition. I'm willing to bet my mortgage that Tim Cook will once again take to the stage next month to introduce the new iPhone in the same way.
Staying permanently connected to the people around us is one of the main benefits which comes associated with owning devices like smartphones and tablets. Being able to store all of our contacts and information about friends and family in once place is an amazingly powerful thing that shouldn't be overlooked, but what if we could head on over to the App Store and download an application which took that functionality to the next level? Maybe we can, thanks to the introduction of the deets iOS app.
I have to be open and honest and say that I truly love iOS. I have Android devices, Windows Phone devices and even the odd BlackBerry lying around, all of which have their benefits but iOS wins hands down. With that said, one thing that I find rather mundane about a stock installation of iOS is the lack of shortcut abilities to get to certain system settings that are repetitively used. I'm all about productivity and getting things done in the shortest amount of time with maximum efficiency, which is one of the reasons why I love jailbreaking. The IconToggles tweak that has just landed in the Cydia store is certainly one that would appeal to others who are like me and hate things being hidden away two or three menus deep.
Being able to have a plethora of powerful features while also having quick and efficient access to music playback is one of the great benefits of smartphone ownership. Once upon a time, mobile phones would have only come with certain limited features meaning you would be lucky if you got the ability to playback MP3s, never mind listening to those songs on the fly while using other apps. Having said that, listening to music can sometimes be intrusive and can detract from the main usage of the phone.
Apart from letting you take total control of the device, jailbreaking is becoming increasingly successful due to the fact that it allows great customization and enhancement of what is already an extremely powerful mobile operating system from the engineers over at Apple. No one is denying the fact that iOS is a phenomenal creation and certainly ticks most of the boxes which most users would need in an OS, but it never hurts if you get the chance to extend that functionality.
Apple maybe riding on a wave of unprecedented pre-release interest in their next-generation iPhone that is due to be announced next month, but it isn't all sunshine and happiness for the Cupertino-based technology giants. Although the next few weeks represents an extremely exciting time for Apple and all those who are involved in the iPhone project, legal representatives of the company are still locked in an ongoing patent battle with Samsung with proceedings set to come to an end at some point next week.
I used to be a big fan of professional wrestling back in the day. I used to spare fours hours a week, every week (no matter if I was having final exams) for SmackDown and RAW. That was until I realized how stupid the idea of men fighting each other in front of a large audience was. Why not fight elsewhere? Why create a fuss in front of the public? I still kept watching, though, because it was so gosh darn fun to see two muscly men beat the living life out of each other.
