Truth to be told, when Apple released iPhone 4S last year, many people didn’t feel the need to upgrade due to no difference in the form factor. However, those people who needed an iPhone with a better camera, faster processor and a voice assistant called Siri upgraded from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S. On Bloomberg, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster told that the next iPhone or iPhone 5 would be the mother of ‘all hardware upgrades’.
Undoubtedly, Apple has a record to make products with the top-notch hardware available in the market. Sometimes, they start a trend which is being followed by other mobile players. According to Piper, the next iPhone would bring tremendous change in the hardware which includes a bigger screen, a tad different form factor, LTE capability and speed. Also, he says that there would be lines around shopping malls to buy the next iPhone, but it would happen a little later than people had actually hoped. [click to continue…]

When Apple is yet to announce WWDC 2012, a Korean site called ETNews.com reports that the next iPhone would be made of Liquid Metal alloy. It is the same source which earlier inquired from their sources that Galaxy S 3 which is set to be announced in May would be made of Ceramic material. According to the site, both devices of the respective materials would be thin, light and would have no impact to external impacts.
However, same sources earlier claimed that the iPhone 4S would debut in June 2011, instead of October. Hence, they have already been proved wrong. Although they once told that Sharp is short of the supply chain for the display of the new iPad which eventually happened. Sharp faced difficulties in order to meet Apple’s quality control and now ramping up production to meet demand. We are really not sure if the source should be trusted for now. Also, they haven’t provided us with any concrete proof to strengthen their claim. [click to continue…]

Yeah, you heard it right. Google drive for Mac OS X exists. Folks at Techcrunch have been able to download the .DMG file from a link which was provided by a tipster. However, they have no clue when the company has plans to release it for everyone in the world. While Apple has launched its iCloud service, dropbox continues to work for almost every platform whether mobile or PC/Mac, Microsoft has its Skydrive embedded in Windows Phone and upcoming Windows 8, Google seems to have pull the trigger for its much awaited drive.
Those people who have downloaded the application haven’t surpassed the login page yet. Whenever they try to login, it throws them with an error which says – “Google drive is not yet enabled for your account”. After digging out into the files, Techcrunch was successful in confirming the fact that the drive includes a native support for Google docs and GDraw. The version which they have downloaded is -Â 1.0.2891. Even though the version seems free of bugs, the functionality couldn’t be accessed until Google activate it from their end. [click to continue…]

There has always been rumors that Apple could come up with a 7 inch tablet in future. As per the recent report from Kotaku, a chinese portal called NetEase claims that Apple has plans to launch an iPad mini which would cost from $249 to $299. The attempt for a low cost tablet is to rival with the upcoming windows tablet that would appear in the same interval. Also, the site notes that there would be around 6 millions units ready for the initial launch.
For us, it sounds a bit skeptical because even after the launch of iPad 3, Apple has not discontinued its previous generation tablet. Instead, they have reduced its prices so that more people could afford the tablet and experience the post-pc era. However, John Gruber in a blog post earlier said that Apple has an iPad with smaller screen size in their labs. Although he was not sure whether the company has plans to launch it anytime soon or not. [click to continue…]

There has always been rumors that the new iPad from Apple is experiencing some issues with Wifi signal reception. Recently, TabletPCReviews conducted a test where they figured out that the drop down in signals actually exists in iPad 3. According to them, they used a Cisco WRT310N 802.11a/b/g/n single wireless point for all of the iDevices. These iDevices constituted a new iPad, iPad first generation, iPhone 4S and an iPhone 3GS.
As you can see, it covers almost all of the devices from old to new. And the test were performed using the SpeedTest.app which can be installed from the App Store for free. Though the test was done on the same floor, the distance was incremented after each test to know the problems with Wifi reception. In addition to the distance, they had several walls in between the iDevice and the access point. However, two servers were used in the test. One belonged to Los Angeles which was 32 Miles and another one at Ft. Worth, Texas was 1,175 miles away. [click to continue…]

When the iPad 3 is announced, the predictions for the next iPhone have already begun. There is no doubt that WWDC 2012 would happen in the interval of June-July. Similar to last year, Apple could revise its schedule and launch iPhone 5 in October itself. Precisely, WWDC might be software centric for this year as well. There’s a whole lot to be demoed and announced such as the much awaited Mountain Lion and features of upcoming major software update, iOS 6.0. [click to continue…]

Whenever the next generation iPad is announced from Apple, speculations on the features of next iPhone starts. After the introduction of 4G LTE on iPad 3, it is pretty much expected that iPhone 5 would also include the same facility. Recently, an Indian Hacker, Krishna Sagar found reference of 4G LTE on iPhone 4 running on an iOS 5.1. Moreover, similar references were present for the FaceTime on 4G network as well.
Currently, neither iPhone 4 nor iPhone 4S or any of the iOS device supports FaceTime on 3G/4G LTE. The exact reason for this problem is still unknown. But we suppose that Apple didn’t want to degrade user experience of their users on 3G network. Hence, the support was discontinued. Now, 4G/LTE has brought a tremendous change and people can transfer data even at more faster speeds. So the probability for the support increases. [click to continue…]

Few months ago, we heard that Apple could come up with Siri for the iPad. In fact, we found the evidence of it in iOS 5.1 beta where the  Dictation and Privacy info revealed about the possibility. Also, it is expected to be one of the most prominent feature in the next generation tablet from Apple which would be unveiled today. However, we have our own reasons why Siri for iPad may not be released anytime soon.
We all know about the fact that Siri has its own set of commands which are dependent on some of the applications on iPhone 4S. These applications include Clock, Weather, Stocks, etc. When you couldn’t set an alarm on an iPad, ask for weather or checkout the stock, it wouldn’t make sense for the company to bring Siri into the tablet. Interestingly, Apple doesn’t even use Stock and Weather widget in the notification center of the iPad due to the same reason. If there’s no inbuilt application, there’s no way to get any of those widgets on the notification center. Perhaps, Apple could have figure out a way to resolve it through their server, but we are really skeptical about it. [click to continue…]

With iPad 3 nearing its debut the rumor mill is running on full throttle. With just a day left to make speculations before  they are all put to rest by Apple, The Verge says it has some new info regarding specs and configurations.
As per the reports iPad 3 will be sporting 1 Gigabytes of RAM which is pretty much a reality given the higher number of pixels the device has to handle on the Retina Display. There have been rumors flying that the iPad 3 would be LTE capable, and that it will definitely be announced for both the Verizon and AT&T networks. To be clear, that would mean two distinct, separate versions of the LTE tablet (one for each network). In addition, there’s a third international model which does double duty on 3G; a CDMA / GSM model using a similar radio chipset to the iPhone 4S (a Qualcomm Gobi chip). [click to continue…]

Despite the fact that we are only one day away from the official announcement, we speculate why there could be a delay than usual between the announcement and launch of iPad 3. It is pretty much expected that Apple would embed a Retina Display into the next generation iPad which would feature twice the resolution of iPad 2. Last to last year, Apple did the same with the iPhone 4 and the outcome has been simply amazing and praise worthy. Perhaps, this is the only reason why the iPad 3 could be named ‘iPad HD’.
