That big anti-Apple advertising campaign that has been going on in Australia we were telling you about the other day? You know, the one that Samsung was quick to deny was its own doing? The same one that Macworld began pointing fingers at RIM about? Turns out it was the Canadian BlackBerry maker all along.
Depending on whether or not you believe the rumors lurking about, the next iPhone device will be encased in Liquidmetal - a concoction of durable elements creating a sleek yet robust outer shell for Apple's flagship smartphone.
With the next-generation iPhone set to launch sometime in the next few months - many credible rumors suggest October - concepts of what the device could possibly look like are being produced by designers already. ADR Studio, a common source of such art has outed yet another concept mockup of what they call the "iPhone Plus". It depicts an extremely thin iPhone with a 4.3" screen and an aluminum back, similar to the iPad, or even the first-generation iPhone in some regards.
Although shrewdness can often strike you a tasty deal in the consumer electronics market, Apple is one company that just doesn't haggle, and trying to find the latest Apple gadget cheaper than the fruit company's RRP can often be more difficult than trying to secrete blood from a stone.
Ever since Apple introduced the original iPhone in 2007, it has been praised not only for its advanced abilities and revolutionizing the smartphone industry, but also for being a champion of design and bringing beautiful aesthetics to the market. However, according to an Ex-Apple executive, things could have been so different if the company had chosen to go with one of their other prototypes.
For many of us, the launch of Apple's new iPad device seems like an age away. The early adopters have spent the last six weeks enjoying the Retina display, quad-core GPU, LTE connectivity and the iSight camera which collectively equate to a pretty substantial upgrade.
We find this very difficult to believe, and very easy to believe in equal measures, so let's just get this out of the way and see what everyone else thinks. With Samsung's focus very much on the Galaxy S III these days, it is full steam ahead for the company's various P.R. departments, and it is one of those departments which is being accused of putting together a rather elaborate advertising campaign.
If Apple gave every individual the chance to design their own hardware that catered for their own needs perfectly and fulfilled their aesthetic desires, then I am pretty sure we would see a collection of weird and wonderfully bizarre Macs knocking around the world. Fortunately for our sanity, they don't offer such a bespoke design service, meaning we will just have to live with the excellence that they currently provide, but that doesn't stop designers from producing their own unique concept designs.
With all eyes and ears waiting eagerly for Apple to announce their earnings for the second financial quarter of 2012, we are all wondering whether or not the company would continue to rack up record sales and profits. The information has filtered through from California, only moments before they officially held their earnings call with company investors.
Following a report earlier this month claiming that production has already began on the next-generation iPhone, a new rumor suggests that it will be receiving a slightly redesigned Home button. If you were anticipating a redesigned oval-shaped capacitive touch Home button, then prepare to be disappointed (again, bearing in mind just how often this rumor has been regurgitated time and time again). The new rumored home button seems to have little aesthetic difference from the existing home button on the 4S.
