A new video has been put together with the aim of illustrating how apps may look on a new, taller iPhone display. If you believe everything you read online, then it is almost a certainty that Apple is set to announce an all-new iPhone come September 12th, replacing the current iPhone 4S model with a new, redesigned model.
With only twelve days to go before Apple is rumored to be announcing its next iPhone, it just wouldn't be right if we had a whole day without any coverage of the device, dubbed the iPhone 5, and like so many of the recent leaks, this one arrives courtesy of the French blog Nowhereelse.fr. The source of most next-gen iPhone bits and pieces, today sees a side-by-side comparison of the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S, and even though we were under no illusions the new device was longer than its predecessor, the image certainly puts things into perspective.
I’m sure many of you iOS users are familiar with Instapaper: it is the platform’s most popular paid service for saving webpages for going through them later (also known as read it later services). Now, the app’s developer has reported that he is seeing traffic from new iPad models. Check out the details after jump.
The time is fast approaching for Tim Cook and his cohorts to adorn that Moscone Center stage and introduce the world to the sixth-generation iPhone, which in turn will more than likely bring with it an immediate release of iOS 6, the company's next major revision of their mobile operating system. Registered members of the iOS dev program are now regularly using the fourth beta of iOS 6 in an attempt to familiarize themselves with the new features and improvements which Apple has pushed out, as well as trying to find and report any bugs that may exist.
According to a report over at Reuters, Apple's head honcho Tim Cook and Google CEO Larry Page have been discussing possible ways to resolve patent issues between their two respective companies. The pair (Apple and Google, that is), make up the majority of the mobile OS market, and in light of the recent ruling in favor of Apple over Samsung, the Cupertino outfit and the Android maker are said to be "keeping the lines of communication open."
As we all know, despite constant pleas of innocence, Samsung was judged to have indeed infringed on several Apple patents, and a jury - overseen by Judge Lucy Koh - ordered the South Korean company to compensate its Cupertino rival to the tune of over one billion dollars.
As we edge ever-closer to the announcement of the next-gen Apple smartphone, the shock value and general interest in leaked hardware has naturally died down, since the form factor of the device - dubbed the iPhone 5 - appears to be a done deal. That said, when some high-quality images surface comparing old and new, it's certainly worth taking a look, and Shenzhen-based parts company via NoWhereWlse.fr has some high-quality images which allegedly show the front plate of the sixth-gen device.
We should all be well aware by now that the next-generation iPhone is just around the corner, and if your excitement levels aren't sitting at an unprecedented level, then it's time to dig deep and get that adrenaline flowing in anticipation of what should hopefully be the best iPhone yet from the Cupertino-based technology giants. The word on the cyber street is that we should expect to be able to pre-order the new iPhone immediately after announcement, but may have to wait until September 21st for delivery before it can be physically in our hands.
Although Apple is still floating on a fluffy cloud of victory after the weekend’s verdict in their San Jose trial against Samsung, they will understandably just be wishing that the legal system was simple and straightforward that forced Samsung to pay their dues and allow both companies to move in with minimal fuss. Unfortunately, the world doesn't work that way, and although the nine man jury found in favor of the fruit company in pretty much all of their claims, there are still additional court dates required to determine the next steps for both companies.
The word innovation is something that is being thrown around the mobile computing and smartphone industries at the moment. Although it generally has an extremely positive meaning, it is currently being used in a rather negative context in discussions, or the lack thereof, within Samsung HQ. Not wanting to get bogged down by recent events between Apple and the Korean electronic giants in San Jose, it's probably time to step away from that trial and concentrate on the wonderful things which both companies are attempting to bring to the marketplace.
