Disgruntled iPhone 5 owners wasted no time in jumping on the purple flare bandwagon when Apple's latest hardware was released, and the latest report by ConsumerRerpots suggests that the problem does indeed exist and is not limited purely to the iPhone. Feedback that is being received from users is suggesting that the lens flare issue actually occurs on most mobile devices that include an embedded camera.
Apple has built up a reputation over the last few years as a company that cares deeply about the quality of their products and have shown time and time again that internal changes can be made quickly to combat any production or quality issues that are within the company's control. If today's report is anything to go by then it looks as if Apple has thrown in new measures in place to ramp up quality control checks on their iPhone 5 production lines to ensure that the number of sixth-generation iPhones being shipped containing cosmetic damage is kept to an absolute minimum.
Our readers may not remember this as vividly as the iPhone 5 announcement, but Apple announced major revisions to two of their most popular iPods – the iPod touch and iPod nano – at their media event a few weeks ago.
When Tim Cook took to the stage on September 12th in San Francisco to introduce the iPhone 5, they unveiled what was essentially the worst kept secret in smartphone history. Although, we all pretty much knew what was coming with the elongated display of the sixth-generation iPhone, it didn't reduce the excitement that was associated with seeing how Apple would handle the differences in display size between previous iPhone iterations and the new device.
After the iPhone 5, the next Apple product expected to be released is a smaller iPad that will compete with the likes of the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD; we’ve been hearing rumors and reports about the illusive device for a long time now and they appear to be getting stronger and stronger. Today, we’ve come across another report related to the manufacturing of the iPad Mini. Check it out after the jump.
Although, the sweet taste of victory is still in the air in California where Apple was awarded more than $1 billion in damages as a result of the Samsung patent infringement case, it doesn't wipe out the bitter memories which the company has related to patents in the past. A number of corners have often been critical about Apple's approach to submitting patents for pretty much anything and everything, but there is a method behind what may seem like madness, and it apparently stems from a $100 million iPod related loss back in 2006.
Apple introduced a completely overhauled connector in the iPhone 5 called Lightning. The decision isn’t too popular with people who own lots of accessories like speakers, car chargers, docks etc. which were made for the older 30-pin connector. Apple does have a Lightning to 30-pin adapter on sale separately for such people. Now, we’ve received news that these adapters are being shipped out to people who ordered them earlier. Check out the details after the jump.
Tim Cook and the official Apple websites around the world paid their own tribute to Steve Jobs in their own way yesterday, as did many others around the world who have been touched by the passion and inspiring glow that seemed to follow the late Jobs wherever he went. One of the more professional and personal tributes is coming from designer Kyle Buckner, who has not only been inspired by Steve Jobs throughout his whole life, but has also built a company on the back of that inspiration.
Apple today led the tributes as the world remembered Steve Jobs on the first anniversary of his passing away, and if you want to stake a claim to a truly unique piece of Jobs memorabilia, then you might be interested in the creation of MacBook modding firm Unfold.
Apple's Maps app, which, in case you hadn't already heard, was released two weeks ago along with iOS 6, has quite a great deal wrong with it, and one of the key concerns of consumers is its lack of accuracy. Those accustomed to Google Maps may have been able to excuse many of Apple Maps' other flaws and imperfections, but a mapping application strewn with error and falling short on delivering pinpoint results serves as little use to man or beast.
