You can now get a glowing Apple logo for your iPhone 4 [Mod]

September 12, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Ever sense the iPhone has come out the fanboys of the glowing Apple logo of the current MacBook models. Now all of us glowing Apple logo fanboys can get finally have this dream come true with the new mod for the iPhone 4 making it so whenever the screen is on the Apple logo on the back is lit up. The back has no other difference. Here is the official press release.

Chris and Andy, the guys behind iPatch, expect the mod to retail for under £100, and a turnaround time of less than an hour. They claim the iPhone remains fully functional, with the rear glass appearing completely original with no visible alterations. The logo lights up whenever the iPhone’s screen is on.

I would guess this wouldn’t kill the battery any more than if it doesn’t have the logo lit up because the logo is lit up by the screen.

iPhone 5 to only have 16/32GB?

September 10, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ 2 Comments

The UK iPhone carrier vodaphone has leaked that the iPhone 5 might only be a 16/32GB capable device. The image you see above comes from the Vodaphone showing off a sort of MIFi type device and showing the compatible devices showing the current iPhone 4 models. That isn’t the thing though the site states the MIFi like device is compatible with the iPhone 5 white/black and 16/32GB. There is nothing saying there is a higher storage. So at least we will get a white iPhone 5 from the launch but we might have to wait another year for a 64Gb iPhone. Hey maybe Apple will surprise us during the music event with a 64Gb model! Never know.

Need more proof the iPhone is coming to Sprint?

September 9, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Well it seems that Sprint is definitely is going to be getting an iPhone and if not then this is really weird. It seems sprint is having a sort of “blackout” do to a major phone launch between September 30th and October 15th which fits in very nicely with the current iPhone 5 announcement and launch rumors. Now I am going to be completely honest and I have no idea what a “blackout is” but I do know that the current rumor is that the iPhone 5 is supposed to be announced sometime later this month and be on sale on Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and possibly T-Mobile early October which fits in with this schedule. iPhone meet Sprint. Sprint meet iPhone.

September 8, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ 3 Comments

If you use the FaceBook for iPhone app a lot like me you will want to stay away from the new update for the FaceBook for iPhone app. Now you see Facebook for iPhone has a reputation for being one of the buggiest apps in the app store… This update takes it to a new level. You see they say bug fixes but it adds so many more the app can actually crash your phone. I haven’t been able to use it for more than a few seconds before it either freezes or crashes. Now if you are lucky you might be able to downgrade to the old USABLE version. It might be buggy but at least it works and to find out how to do this follow me after the break!

September 5, 2011September 5, 2011 ~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

9to5mac has just posted an interesting story saying that Apple Retail stores are beginning iCloud and iOS 5 training. This somewhat shows or points to a close release of iOS 5 and new iPhone hardware as Apple starts the next major iOS training near the actual iPhone hardware launch meaning if this is true we could see the new iPhone hardware or pre-orders somewhat earlier than the early mid October bit. 9to5mac has this story in detail go check it out.
