If you happen to be like me and are one of the millions who are walking around with a white iPhone 4S then be prepared to shed some tears as you are no longer the owner of the most popular smartphone on the market, in the UK at least. uSwitch are reporting that after battling past all of the competition, the beautiful white 4S eventually managed to claw its way into the number one position last month only to be toppled by Samsung's Galaxy S III.
The run up to any Apple hardware or software release just wouldn't be the same without the influx of rumors and insane speculation that gets thrown around the world wide web, often quoted as gospel. As you can imagine, with an initial look at iOS 6 set to come sometime during the worldwide Developers Conference and the sixth-generation iPhone expected later on this year, the conjecture train is stopping at every station with sources coming out of every corner to throw their opinions on board.
With just less than two weeks to go until Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco, it seems that people are expecting Apple to announce more than just some information pertaining to iOS 6. It isn't unordinary for this time of year to bring an influx of leaked parts and components that are speculated to be part of the purported next-generation iPhone. It is pretty much accepted that WWDC will bring some kind of iOS 6 announcement, paying particular attention to Apple's expected 3D maps application, but could we also see some hardware related announcements?
Although this week was meant to be all about Samsung with the release of the long-awaited Galaxy S III powerhouse, Apple - as it does - has unwittingly spoiled the party as the tech world becomes engrossed by leaks of the upcoming iPhone device.
It has been a long time, but on the 22nd of June, United States smartphone fans will be able to benefit from America's first prepaid iPhone package thanks to Cricket Wireless. The company, who trade independently but are owned by Leap Wireless will start to offer the deals at the back end of next month with an "unlimited" plan, setting consumers back $55 each month.
If you are keeping up on all your iPhone 5 rumors, then you will no doubt have gotten all hot under the collar about yesterday's leaked images of what appear to be rear plates from an “iPhone 5”. The images were part of a collection which also showed a relocated FaceTime camera and altered unibody design. The new shell, or should we say supposed photos of the supposed shell, caused something of a frenzy across the internet yesterday, with arguments breaking out as to their authenticity.
The previously rampant talk of Apple's purported connected TV effort has died down somewhat of late, but BGR has reignited proceedings - citing a "reliable source" in reporting that the current Apple TV OS is to be overhauled, with all to be revealed at WWDC come June 11th.
While the MacBook Air has garnered a strong following for its ultra-sleek design and form factor, the MacBook Pro remains a beautiful marriage of craftsmanship and high-end hardware. Recently, there's been talk - since quashed - of the Pro following the motif of the Air in bringing a sloped shell, but despite not expecting such a design from Apple any time soon, that hasn't stopped designer Guilherme Schasiepen from spreading his wings and teasing a truly marvelous-looking MacBook Pro concept.
Like most iOS users, I rely heavily on Google Maps to spring to my aid whenever I become lost. The days of preparing a journey turn-by-turn in advanced are long gone, in my opinion, and I usually aim for the vicinity of my goal destination and type in the postal/zip code again to check the exact spot once I'm there.
Many have wondered - given that when watching video, it's used in landscape mode - why the iPad's dock connector isn't located along the length of the device, as opposed the shorter side at the bottom. Even if Apple felt the necessity to keep the dock at the bottom of the tablet, it would surely have made sense to offer a dock for those preferring to plant their device lengthways.
