Singaporean carrier offering “non camera” iPhone 4S
While camera phones have been praised by consumers, there are some government divisions that probably aren’t too pleased with the invention of the camera phone, and Singapore’s military would be one such example. In the past, military personnel with camera phones had to get their devices modified in order to disable the camera so it cannot be used on site.
This included practices such as pasting a black/silver plastic screen over the camera lens to ensure that photos cannot be taken. Military personnel will also need to submit a certificate from a local carrier to prove that it has been modified. Well the good/bad news is that if you are in the Singapore military and you want to get your hands on the iPhone 4S, Singaporean carrier, M1, is now offering a “non camera” version of the device.
This is apparently not an official modification sanctioned by Apple, which means that the device will basically have its warranty voided (hopefully it will be covered by the carrier at the very least) and will see its price raised to premium levels. What do you guys think? Given how one of the key features about the iPhone 4S is its camera and 1080p Full HD video recording, it does feel like it is being crippled, but then again that’s the price military personnel will have to pay to enjoy the iPhone 4S while on base.
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.
