Everyone is so curious about the arrival of an iPhone with a large screen. If the Retina display iPhone with a resolution of 326 pixels per inch, this is not the case of the iPad with Retina display which is limited to a resolution of 264 pixels per inch. Based on this observation, Marco Arment has calculated that Apple could offer an iPhone with a screen of 4.94 inches with a resolution of 264 pixels.
This display would be 4.94 inches while a definition of 1136 x 640 pixels, the same as the iPhone 5, and then developers would do anything to support this new iOS device. In dimensions, the size of the new iPhone would be between a Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note 2.
In any case, Apple will have short or medium term to expand its range of phones, as it did with the iPod, and simply recycle older models, why not come with a mini iPhone, less expensive, and iPhone with larger screen.
Jumping into China market is just a matter of time and now it should be time for Apple to get its hand in this market. Tim Cook CEO of Apple confirmed that iPad 4 and iPad Mini will be first available in China on December 7th and iPhone 5 will appear one week later on December 14th.
However Apple didn’t mention which company will bring these products to China but there are two main candidates including China Unicom and China Telecom. We are trying to check out sources close to the two companies to see if they have already announced any information about iPhone 5 on their network or not.
However we are just one week away from the release date. We will keep it update. Stay tunes.
Secretly Apple has managed to come up with a new design of iPhone 5 but mostly similar to the previous 4S or 4. The iPhone 5 is thinner and taller. Do you know that even with these small changes it requires more skill to assemble?
An unknown Foxconn excutive said, “The iPhone 5 is the most difficult device that has ever assembled. To make it light and thin, the design is very complicated. It takes time to learn how to make this new device. Practice makes perfect. Our productivity has been improving day by day.”
Even more serious the source even reported that some iPhone 5 in the first production line come with scratches. The use of new materials makes it easier to be scratches even from the factory. However Apple claimed that with new Quality Check, the new iPhone 5 in later production line are way perfect.
We can conclude that new iPhone 5 made the company more difficult in term of both assemble and material quality.
If you did miss, some iPhone users have complained about a purple haze on photo or video with iPhone 5’s camera. It appears to be hardware problem and here is the official respond by Apple:
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
Of course Apple acknowledges the problem but seem like there is no solution at all. The company even claimed that this problem happens with all iPhone but so far we only have heard on iPhone 5.
Now the solution to get rid of the purple haze is to get less expose to bright light.
Recently Instagram has updated to version 3.1.0. This update is basically for iPhone 5 with taller screen. The new iPhone 5 has 4-inch display jumping from 3.5 inch. With this new update, you will be able to see the picture as what it will be on the screen of iPhone 5. It won’t overlap anymore.
The iPhone 5 comes with similar design to the iPhone 4 and 4S but with taller body and thinner. Now we have a video on YouTube to share. The title is The iPhone 5 (Parody) Ad: A Taller Change by Satire. It is a very funny video with 4.4 hits in just one week. Check out the video above to see how the iPhone will change in the future.
Apple has done its best to change to design of iPhone but seems like nothing much change only to be taller and thinner for the iPhone 5. But to bring this change the company needs to use anodized aluminum on the back and edges.
It turns to concern of the users if the new hardware is endurable or not. Now the answer is already on our hand. The test has been made and the result can be seen with the picture above. A guy at Overclockers forum used keys and SIM card tray pin the back and edges of iPhone 5 and the result is extremely scratched. You can think about your day by day usage.
iPhone 5 is the most anticipate smartphone of Apple. Since the release of the first iPhone, more and more people turned their interest to this smartphone thank to the many unique features. Now with the release of iPhone 5 and iOS 6 together, it attracts the interest of the fans worldwide.
If you managed to get one iPhone 5, you can find the user guide here to see how the new iPhone 5 can do. It is not totally the same as the iPhone 4S. You can check it out with the user manual. Download link can be found below. The manual is available in PDF format and hosted on official Apple website.
If you want to grab the iPhone 5, you better hurry since now most stores reported that some iPhone 5 models were sold out. Learning from various data, iPhone 5 is available for walk-in-buy but you can’t buy your desired model since some models is not available.
Mostly the 16GB model is not available followed by the top 64GB model and 32GB model. It started from Friday and it should be sold out in the first week. So it is quite clear to say that if you don’t buy now, you need to wait for the next arrival.
Back to the previous story when iPhone 5 went on pre-order page at 12:01AM PST on Friday, I am pretty sure that you might already made your pre-order if you want this device since no one want to sit on the long row queuing for your turn. But now Verizon has confirmed that iPhone 5 can use data to browse internet while taking and Sprint has so has this problem since Apple offers Verizon and Sprint with the same iPhone model. Note that it only happens with LTE network.
But it turns the question to what AT&T has done with their iPhone that allows user to use data while talking. In fact, AT&T uses GSM instead of CDMA.
