Ah, the humble white iPhone. When Apple first announced it way back in 2010 nobody could foresee the headline making chaos that would ensue and certainly nobody could have predicted we'd still be debating the handset all these months later. Even more amazing is what we're all getting so hot under the collar about - is the white iPhone thicker than the black one? Well, kinda, yeah.
If there is one area where Apple's iOS still lags behind Google's Android, it's in the software updating process. As things stand today, eager updaters must first be informed that an update is available and then run off to plug their iDevice into a computer for iTunes to work its magic. Contrast this with the painless over-the-air nature of Android's updates and it's clear to see where Apple needs to be focusing its energy right now.
Still holding out hope that Apple is keeping the iPhone 5 under raps with an eye on releasing it in the usual June/July timeframe? If that's the case then we're afraid one AT&T customer services rep. might just have ruined your day after they claimed Apple has told them there will be no new iPhone. Yet.
iOS 4.3.3 has been released today by Apple for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPod touch 4G/3G to fix the much talked about location tracking bug found on devices running iOS 4.x.
Apple has just released iOS 4.3.3 update for iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2.8 for Verizon iPhone 4), iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, and iPod touch 4G/3G. This is just a minor update to mainly fix the location tracking bug which was found in iOS 4.x.
One thing we never tire of at Redmond Pie is hacks that use Microsoft's Kinect in new and interesting ways. If an iPhone is involved then you get double points, and that's exactly what Singaporean developer Rockmoon did.
Folks at BGR have got their hands-on the the upcoming iOS 4.3.3 for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 2 & 1, iPod touch, and it is said to contain fix for the much talked about iOS location tracking bug.
iOS 5 is expected to bring with it some juicy new features, not least a new notification system and application developers are starting to see the next iOS version show up in the stats they receive from Apple. Proof the company is ramping up testing, perhaps?
While we've had rumors on top of rumors surrounding the iPhone 5, but ever since the iPad 2 announcement, many of them have been contradictory. Will the next iPhone be a complete redesign of the handset or are we in for a more iterative approach, similar to that of the iPhone 3G/3GS release? What if we're in for a surprise and both are true?
With the recent release of the white iPhone 4, we had hoped we could finally, officially put the whole story to bed - you can only write so many words on a different color of a phone that's been out nearly a year after all. But alas, it seems this particular phone just won't go away and the latest story is of the odd difference in thickness between the white and black iPhone 4s.
