You can now pre-order the iPhone 4s but is it for you?

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Very exciting day for Sprint customers and Apple fans for that matter as the iPhone 4s is now on pre-order! Now with that one question comes to mind is it actually for you? If so what model should you get? Lets find out!

Have an iphone 4?

If you have an iPhone 4 I would stay away from the 4s as there really isn’t that much of an improvement unless you want AT&T’s HSPA+ but if you don’t need that then stick with your iPhone 4 it looks the same and it will keep you happy for another year.

what network do you have?

If you have an iPhone 4 on Verizon or AT&T and are fine with the speeds then stick with your iPhone 4 as the 4s will bump up too $500! That isn’t worth the speed boost to me so I am staying away from this model but if you are on sprint then go for the iPhone 4S you will love it!

iPhone 3Gs

If you have this phone then yes you should upgrade if you want the newest and greatest phone from Apple. The 3Gs is a great phone but is now 3 years old! Again it is a great phone and if you like it than keep it but if you want an upgrade then hello iPhone 4s.

Memory

If you have a lot of songs or go App crazy like me then you will need more than 16Gb or even 32GB that’s where the iPhone 4S comes into play being the first iPhone to have 64GB.

So as you see the iPhone 4S is a great phone it’s just you might not wanna spend $500 on a phone that looks the same. It is a great great phone I will promise you that but keep those things in mind!

“Lets Talk iPhone” Rumor Roundup

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

I think it is safe to say there will be no more rumors between now and tomorrow so I am going to do a little Apple “Lets talk iPhone” Rumor round up what we will see at the event all the way to the release date all these rumors from the past month combined into 1 awesome post.

iPhone 5

This seems like a near dream to me now. The fact of the matter yes it could come and I wish it will and I am sure a ton of you fanboys are hoping that it does too. The fact of the matter is yes I do think it will come but there is no proof from Apple… Yet anyways. We have seen leaked cases and cases even showing up in inventories along with the device itself! Launch Date is rumored to be October 14th!

iphone 4s

This is the iPhone that is expected to be announced tomorrow. It is supposed to just be a hardware bump to the iPhone 4 with a CDMA iPhone 4 antenna and possibly a metal back? Never know. But this iPhone is the more likely to show up tomorrow. There is evidence of this in Apple’s inventory system and even in iTunes! Launch date is rumored to be October 14th!

iOS 5 

Yes for everyone not picking up the newest iPhone you will be happy to hear that the betas have stopped for iOS 5 we haven’t seen a new one for 4 weeks now I think. The GM will be launched to developers tomorrow I am sure and everyone should get it either by Friday or next Tuesday.

Voice Assistant

This is in iOS 5 no doubt. We have proof of it! No one except the insides at Apple and carriers have been able to use it though tomorrow is the day we might see the voice control come to the world! The co-founder of Siri even said Assistant will change the way we interact. Need any more proof? The question is will Apple surprise us and make this an iPhone 4s/5 only feature.

iCloud

Yes iCloud. A great feature of iOS will be launching to the world sometime this week whenever iOS 5 does. iCloud is amazing and I can’t wait for all of you to try it.

iPods anyone? we can dream right?

This is very very far stretched which is why I made it the last one on our list. There has been no rumors for the iPod touch 5 other than it will have a white front… No rumors of design changes or an announcement date. Some would like to think it is tomorrow but it is a “Lets Talk iPhone” event. As Apple usually announces iPods around this time the order of thing have been messed with a lot this year so I don’t think we will see any iPods tomorrow but hey we can dream and hope for them like the iPhone 5 right?

about tomorrow…

Yes this is going to kill me. The event is during school for me and won’t have a live stream up on Apple’s site but below here is a list of websites that are covering the event that you should check out. This is going to be my first iPhone announcement I wont be able to watch the live feeds for so I am not happy about this and I am not happy saying you should go to another site to see whats new… Don’t worry everything will be covered in my post roundup of the day and yes it will be a giant one! Remember my iOS 5 review is featured and will be on top of the site for some time so make sure to scroll down to see the newest post! Thanks!

Why you shouldn’t be depressed if there is only an iPhone 4s Tomorrow

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

As the current rumor has it there will only be one iPhone tomorrow which is the iPhone 4s. The iPhone 4 design with some better hardware inside it. Some fanboys are calling this crazy but if you think about it it makes some sense and I’ll explain why.

iOS

Apple doesn’t think that the hardware isn’t the most important thing for a phone to sell well. Well they do but they think the operating system iOS is the more important reason why the phone sells well. Why else would the spend so much time on it? Apple thinks that iOS drives the sales of the iPhone the iPad and the iPod touch. So a new design wouldn’t be the top priority for the next iPhone making the hardware a little better but making iOS work better with the updated hardware would be the top priority.

The iPhone 4 design is great

Alright some people are going to call me out as a complete Apple fanboy but that’s fine. I think that the iPhone 4 design is great. The best design I have seen and trust me I have used and seen a TON of phones. The iPhone 4 design makes me just say “Wow this is a beautiful design.” The only way I can see the design of the current iPhone being improved is by adding an aluminum back like they had with the original iPhone which I have been dying to get on a newer phone.

The design will work with all your iPhone 4 cases

One of the great things about having the same iPhone 4 design with the next generation is all your accessories and cases will work with it! YOU WILL SAVE MONEY!

Remember the 3Gs?

Apple did the same thing with the 3Gs keeping the design from the iPhone 3G around for another year and it did great! It is still one of the best selling phones of all time! So even though all you fanboys want the iPhone 5 and a new design don’t be to bummed if you don’t get it.

iPhone 4S 16-32-64GB shows up in vodka phone store.

Something very interesting showed up today on the German carrier Vodaphones site today. Despite rumors of the iPhone 5 might be coming Vodaphone has posted the iPhone 4s in 16/32/64gb models. Of course this means nothing till the actual event tomorrow so all you fanboys can have hope. Vodaphone like every carrier reads rumor sites and sort of basis everything on that. They know as much as we do. All of these rumors will be put to rest tomorrow thankfully when we see what Apple is bringing to the market.

What to expect from Tuesdays event

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

All of these things are making me completely insane. iPhone 5 or not? Well up to this point anyways I had believed there would be a new iPhone 5 that would be completely redesigned. Now it seems those chances are slimming day by day. I still believe Apple is messing with all of our heads like they did with the original iPhone before it was announced. After all this has been the longest time between iPhone models but that doesn’t mean they have spent the time redesigning the iPhone. Remember the iPhone 3Gs looked EXACTLY like the iPhone 3G just with bumped internals. Remember the iPhone 4 has a great design one that I personally love and it wouldn’t be the worst thing to keep the same design. Yes we have seen some proof of the iPhone 5 leaked cases, leaked websites with it, and even inventory and case arrivals at AT&T but nothing in iTunes. I honestly thing Apple is messing with us and we will see an iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4s is just a place holder in iTunes with the CDMA iPhone look to keep people from knowing the truth and the iPhone 4 will be the low budget model. Either way don’t expect the iPhone 5 on tuesday because if it doesn’t happen… You’ll be disappointed.

Facebook iPad app to be announced at Apple iPhone Event?

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Mashable is reporting that Facebook’s long awaited iPad app will be announced at Apple’s upcoming event which is rumored to be october 4th. Also Facebook is reportedly revamping the iPhone app to be faster and usable and a new HTML 5 version of the mobile site. The iPad app was leaked earlier this Summer with it being in the iPhone 3.4 app and then being blocked by Facebook itself. According from a former Facebook engineer Jeff Verkoeyen says the app is ready, and Facebook is waiting to release it. The companies don’t have the best history but launching a revamped iPhone and the iPad app alongside iOS 5 and the new iPhone’s seems logical. So what is the rumored stuff for October 4th? The Next iPhone(s),iOS 5, and if the reports are true a Facebook iPad App. October will be an exciting month!

iPhone event to be held at Apple Campus?

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Yes I know I am late with this one but I had a ton of homework. So John Paczkowski of All Things D the original man who reported October 4th as the iPhone announcement date is saying that instead of the event booked somewhere else like the San Francisco center Apple will be holding the iPhone event at their own campus.
Why? That’s not entirely clear. Perhaps the release date was too much of a moving target to risk booking a large space like Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA), which has hosted a number of big product unveils in the past. Perhaps, the company felt a more intimate venue was best for newly installed CEO Tim Cook’s first media event. Perhaps YBCA was simply already booked. Whatever the reason, the world will get it’s first look at the next iPhone at Apple’s Town Hall Auditorium in early October.
The Cupertino campus is where Apple had the free iPhone bumper press conference last year. Never before has an iPhone ben announced on the California campus. Then again nothing this year is like before.

LTE iPhone Coming in 2012 with “Materially improved user interface”

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Well here is something that can make people dream. A new report from Wedbush securities said the next gen iPhone will land in October alongside “an iPhone targeting emerging markets and an LTE iPhone in 2012 with a “materially improved user interface.”” While I just reported here that there is defiantly a possibility of 2 iPhones the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5 coming October 4th it looks like. The LTE iPhone 5 would be a great thing to take control of faster 4G speeds and opening all new things for the iPhone that was not possible for 3G like FaceTime over cellular data. It makes me hope when my contract is up I can run out and get a LTE iPhone and that improved user interface would be great for iOS 6.

Former Vice President (And Apple Board Member) Al Gore confirms “New iPhones” in October

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ 1 Comment

Yes we have said that October 5th would be the date the announcement would be and everyone is now set on October 4th but before that we were all speculating this month. When is it going to be? Well new iPhones yes iPhones are coming next month. Don’t believe me? Ok but do you believe former Vice President Al Gore who is also an Apple board member? Gore who is an every efficiency and environmental awareness driver in Cupertino said in an uncharacteristic plug “Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month” This is the first time anyone at Apple has directly confirmed the launch of a new iPhone for next month. Also it is the first time someone from Apple has hinted at not one but 2 iPhones coming out next month which of course is the iPhone 4s, and iPhone 5. This doesn’t really prove anything until we see Tim Cook come on stage and tell us everything we want to know but it is better than all the crazy rumors floating around!

Sorry T-Mobile no iPhone 5 for you

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Today T-Mobile has confirmed the rumor they would be the only major U.S wireless carrier that will not be getting the iPhone 5 unless of course Apple pulls a stunt and doesn’t give it to Sprint but I doubt that will happen. Of course you will probably still be able to get an unlocked GSM iPhone 5 and then stick a T-Mobile SIM in their and get EDGE but it seems T-Mobile customers. You have to deal a little bit longer without the iPhone 5 being cheap and 3G network compatible.
