Apple going to soon launch iTunes Replay

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

It seems Apple letting us stream TV shows and download them again is just the beginning. It is said that Apple will now let us stream and maybe even download Movies again for no charge. Now there is a downside to this though. You may be only able to download the movies 5 times for some content anyways.

In a nutshell, iTunes Replay is an extension to what Apple is already doing with iCloud and free re-downloads of previously purchased content. As Apple secures the remaining rights, TV Shows as well as Movies in iTunes will be given little arrow indicating whether they’re “iTunes Replay eligible”, that is, available to be downloaded subsequent times. Note that some content will unfortunately only be available to download five times and we don’t know how streaming will count towards that limit.

I think this would be a good feature to have with iCloud. It would be very helpful.

iPhone 5 could launch in September

Well it seems that the rumors of an October launch for the iPhone 5 might not be accurate. A new rumor says that Apple has started giving carriers iPhone 5’s to test them on their network. Also according to DigiTimes Apple has made an order for 10 million iPhone 5’s ahead of launch.

Pegatron Technology has landed orders for 10 million units of iPhone 5 to become the second ODM of the smartphone. Shipments will start in September, according to industry sources.

So it seems like it is going to be a September launch… At least for the U.S anyways.

What to remember about iPhone Prototype Images and Videos

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

With images and now even videos going around of what people say is the next iPhone I want to say a few things about this. Personally I don’t think any of them are real. The video that has been going around today has been fooling a lot of people. It is a knockoff. The reason I say this is because last year when Gizmodo got hold of an actual iPhone 4 apple was going nuts having it deactivated and people even going to get it. You couldn’t even get the phone to a lock screen and in the video he did so that’s why I say fake. Apple would be all over this. It is a knockoff of the OS as well if you look it looks likes jail broken iPhone and you wouldn’t be able to do that with a prototype. So look it is fake. A knockoff like those fake Apple stores in China. The design might be similar but I don’t think it is a prototype because it is still working and it looks like a jail broken iOS which again is impossible to get on an unreleased product. I mean it took forever for an iPad 2 jailbreak so there ya go. Sorry everyone.

This afternoon with apple opening up iCloud.com they also released iWork to iOS developers with access to iCloud. Users just have to tell iWork they wanna use iCloud and it uploads it automatically and pushes it to all your devices including iCloud.com and you can even upload documents to the site and it will push them to your iCloud enabled iWork devices. So if your part of the iOS developer system get downloading!

Well it seems after a long waited time skype for the iPad is finally here. Now we are just going to have to wait for Facebook for iPad… So far the app works great for me and doesnt have any problems. Video calling requires iOS 4 or later. Video chats can be over wifi or 3G. iPad 1 can receive video calls just yu can’t broadcast video. I haven’t been able to find it in the App Store without a link so here it is! [App Store]
[Update] Skype said the app was released prematurely so they have pulledmit when it will be back is anyone’s guess so if you were lucky enough to get it than great. Sorry for those who didn’t get it in time.

iPhone 5 launching in October?

So I guess those September iPhone 5 launch rumors might not be as accurate as we all thought they were. It seems that the iPhone 5 might actually launch in October according to a new report. This is brought to us by AllThingsD which has been right about many iPhone rumors before.

So those rumors claiming the iPhone 5 will debut in late September? They’re wrong. Instead, it’s going to be an October surprise — the month in which Apple will be launching its next generation iPhone.

AT&T has bumped up iPhone insurance last month and the last 2 weeks of September was blocked from employees taking vacations. This also fits nicely with the iPhone 5 international launch which we were told would be launching. We will defiantly have to wait and see.

iPhone 5 cases everywhere… In China

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment


It seems that the iPhone 5 cases that are all over the place are being distributed in China.

What we are hearing now is the Chinese case makers are distributing their iPhone 5 cases.

We won’t know if they are going to be losing a lot of money until Apple officially announces what the iPhone 5 will look like. I kind of like the rumors of the curved back and no buttons but we won’t know until later.
