Could retina-display apps for new iPad bury the 16GB model
The new wave of retina-display optimized apps does not bode well for the enthusiastic buyers of the 16GB new iPad. The up and coming apps designed to accommodate the 2048 x 1526 Retina display will be gigantic in size and will most definitely take up much of free space that is given. After deducting the space that is taken up by the OS and the stock apps provided, the user will only be left with 14GB for additional apps.
Not only that, but as far as the stock apps go, even they have become larger exponentially to ensure a blessed experience when using this beautiful device. However if you own the 16GB model, it would be good to know that apps that come loaded with the new iPad have doubled and in some cases like the iMovie video editing suite have become more than 5 times bigger in space.
If we go along the same line of logic, the stock apps, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, iMovie and the OS itself, your 16GB which has become 13-14GB which can be filled up instantly with one or two 1080p movies and you have yourself a very expensive albeit beautiful movie experience with nothing else to enjoy.
As far as our friends over at T3 go, the 16GB new iPad is only really suitable for simple applications such as an e-book or web browsing for the majority of users. However should a person not mind rotating the contents of their device based on their needs at that point in time, the new iPad might prove to be more useful although it might be a bit of a hassle. We can only offer a conclusion that the more people are aware about this predicament, the more people will be aiming to purchase the top-end 64GB model simply for the sake of convenience which is what technology is about anway.
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.
