iOS 5 beta 6 Expires September 29th GM?

August 21, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Well it seems that we might have found out the possible release of iOS 5 or at least the GM for developers. September 19th seems to be the date where the current beta of iOS 5 which is now beta 6 expires. There will of course probably be one more beta before this but this could just tell us the GM or public release which is cool. Also could it have the announcement of the iPhone 5? Anyone? Maybe not but Apple in the past usually has the GM seed alongside the iPhone hardware announcement so we can dream.

Is this the iPhone 5?

The image above shows what appears to be a very sneaky shot of what appears to be an iPhone 5. Of course this could be fake but it looks just so nice! It does looks the same as an iPhone 4 but a lot thinner and look at the edges you see there is some curved edges.
The iPhone 5 is reported to be the same overall look of the iPhone 4 but thinner and with some curved edges. The photo above supports the theory of this. We have seen cases to support this could be the iPhone 5 as the case does look like it would easily fit in me of them. I would like to see this as the iPhone 5. So real or fake it does look very good.

iPhone 5 could launch in September

August 3, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

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

August 2, 2011 ~ 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.

iPhone 5 launching in October?

August 1, 2011August 1, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

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

July 30, 2011 ~ 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.

Proposed iPhone 5 case shows bigger screen, curved back, thinner

July 27, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Today 9to5 mac got hold of images of a proposed iPhone 5 case that actually exist compared to the mockups below. The image does show a bigger screen, a thinner design than the iPhone 4, no volume buttons, and a curved back. Now there is room for a bigger home button but I don’t think they would have a bigger home button they would have the touch panel that we told you about yesterday. The design of the back seems to be very similar to the one of the iPhone 3G(s) just thinner.

Image above point to what the iPhone 5 could look like. Of course there will be some tweaks to the design but it looks really close because it looks like it will fit in the case and the mockups of the phone itself below. We’ll just have to wait till September.

New iPhone 5 reported case shows Design changes

July 26, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

I had to kind of find out more about this before I made a post not knowing what I was talking about but this is what is the new rumored iPhone 5 design. As you can see it takes back to the iPhone 3G design with a curved back which I am hoping to be aluminum and that seems to be a rumor out there as well. Also you can see that the screen size has been increased to 4 inches instead of the 3.7 inches of the current design. The home button seems to be replaced by a touch sensitive pad that reads gestures and acts accordingly like a gesture to play music perhaps or something in that nature. Also the ringer switch has been moved to the opposite side of the device and the volume up and down will be the touch sensitive buttons along with the home button. Remember all of this is rumors and might not be the real thing but personally I like the idea. The home button on my iPhone is getting worn down along with the volume buttons. I don’t think the screen is necessary but it might be nice!

iPhone Nano?

July 18, 2011July 18, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

With the upcoming release there has also been some reports of an iPhone nano or a budget phone going along with the next generation of iPhone. The phone would be a cheap alternative to the main iPhone 5 or 4S. BGR posted this article of what a source tells them.

“According to our source, Apple will indeed be launching a prepaid / lower cost iPhone this year.
We are told the handset will retail for no more than $350 without contract. Ready for the really interesting part? It’s entirely possible that the low-cost iPhone will in fact be the iPhone 3GS. Via BGR:http://www.bgr.com/2011/07/18/apple-to-launch-low-priced-iphone-for-350-iphone-4s5-end-of-summer/”
Seems expensive for a budget phone? Not really as it doesn’t require a contract with AT&T or Verizon. Of course there might be the option of buying the iPhone 4 with contract for $50 or by having the 3Gs by having the 3Gs a free phone with signing up with a new 2 year contract. Or they could have all of this together which might not be the worst idea they have ever done. The question would be what doesn’t the iPhone nano have that the iPhone 5(4S) has??

Is this the next iPhone? I say No!

July 18, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

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.
