iOS 5 Allows For “Related People” Contacts Linking
It looks like in another iOS 5 discovery, you can now link contacts with each other by who they are related to. Back in the day you could create groups for your contacts and pretty much everyone was grouped in “Friends” or “Family” or “Work”, not exactly the most creative but it was a way to organize your contacts.
iOS 5 has taken it a couple of steps further and seems to be following in the footsteps of Facebook by allowing you to add related people to contacts, much like how on Facebook you can add your contacts into Parents, Cousins, Siblings, etc. Basically you select the “Related People” button and then from there you can choose from a list such as mother, father, parent, brother, sister, child, friend, spouse, partner, assistant, manager and etc, and it looks like custom labels are also allowed, so if you can further relate your contacts to each other.
However if you’re paranoid of having too much information about you floating on the web then perhaps this is not a feature for you. It could be possible that all this information will be floating up in Apple’s iCloud when you synch your device with it, and if ever iCloud got hacked like Sony’s PSN then everyone will know who’s your brother, your uncle, your boss, etc.
Let’s hope that this feature will be used for good, allowing for easier emailing by allowing to send mass emails to “Family” or “Work” and etc. As it stands the “Related People” button is not compulsory when adding a contact so if you’re not comfortable sharing such information, you don’t have to.
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
