Is this the next iPhone? I say No!

Apple.pro has told users that a user has given them images of the next iPhone. If the phone pictured above is a prototype than it has the same design of the iPhone 4 I can’t really tell the difference. The software running on the phone is is what apple uses to test the hardware of the phone. Some phones back when the iPhone and the iPod touch first launched some devices shipped with that screen.

The image above is when the device is connected to iTunes. It appears to be a first generation iPod touch. I think this is fake. A little Photoshop magic because if you connect an iPhone with that screen than what’s the chance that iTunes would connect to it like the one gizmodo had. Also why would iTunes have it as a first generation iPod touch hint iPod touch be the image for the device. So I am calling fake on this.

What Apple Should Do With iMessage

With apple rolling out the betas of iOS 5 there is one thing that is great about the operating system yes notifications but iMessage. It is really a great service that makes things easier but what if You want to message someone from your iPad but they either don’t have a newer iPod, aren’t in wifi, or don’t even have an iOS device with iMessage yes I could use my phone to message them but I want to leave my phone say upstairs and bring my iPad downstairs. That’s where there is a problem. Even right now as I am writing this I have my iPhone next to me so I can answer text messages. I think apple should make it so you can set up your iPhone to sync all your text message to your iPad and you can use your iPhones number to text people you need to from your iPad and get the messages from your iPhone to your iPad. It would make it easier. Just be able to text your contacts using your iPhone number and having conversations synced over iMessage. It makes sense right? Maybe we will see this in future iOS 5 updates or maybe apple has this in mind and is waiting for iOS 6?
