iPhone 5 To Have A Major Redesign?
Ever since iOS 5 was released to developers the rumor mill regarding iPhone 4S/5 rumors have been churning like crazy and have done a 180. Prior to iOS 5 a lot people believed that the next generation iPhone would look more or less like the iPhone 4 in terms of design except that it would be featuring a newer processor and a 8MP camera, which some took to mean that the next generation iPhone would be a rehash of the iPhone 4.
Typically every generation of iPhone was massively improved upon, from the first generation which leaped into a brand new design with the iPhone 3G, then came the 3GS which offered a huge speed boost over the 3G, then came the iPhone 4 with it’s brand new design, new display and new camera with LED flash. The iPhone 4 was a pretty big update in terms of the differences between it and the 3GS and now the rumors are saying that the next iPhone will be a major redesign, which like I said earlier, is a total 180 from the previous speculations.
The above photo is just a concept but it’s a concept design that some people are starting to buy into and we have to admit that it does look pretty slick, although it is too thin for our tastes, could be tricky trying to hold it and type, let alone hold it steady enough to take photos. So what do you guys think? Rehash or major redesign, and why?
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.
