Alleged iPad 3 component shows slightly modified home button
2012 is almost upon us, which means that based on Apple’s yearly refresh of their pdocuts, we can expect to see a refresh of their iPad tablet come Q1 of 2012, and thanks to alleged iPad 3 parts surfacing, it seems like production might be starting to ramp up, or at least in the stages of planning.
The photo you’re looking at above is that of the iPad’s home button, and as you can see, as far as design goes, Apple does not appear to have deviated from their original design nor have they succumbed to capacitive buttons that many had originally thought they would.
Its internal structuring also appears to be smaller than that of the iPad 2’s which might suggest that Apple may be looking at a minor redesign of the tablet to make room for something else. Rumors are saying that the iPad 3 could be sporting a new display with a whopping resolution of 2048×1536 which would add to the thickness of the device, and a smaller home button could help with overall thickness of the device.
Of course none of this can be confirmed and it may just be parts of a possible iPad 3 that Apple was testing, which may or may not make its way into the final design. Either way take this with a grain of salt for now until we actually see something for ourselves!

OnePlus Has iPhone 6S Case Now
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!

iPhone 6S Prepares For September 18th Release Date
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.

iPad Air 3 Not Coming This Year According To Rumors
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.
