Iphone 5 blog

OTTAWA – The bill of materials for Apple’s new IPhone 5 comes in at an estimated $167.50 for the 16-Gb version, or about $35 higher than a comparable version of the IPhone 4S, according to a preliminary estimate by the tear down specialists at TechInsights.

Not to be outdone by a refreshed iPod touch (and, let’s face it, a new iPhone), Apple also shot out a 5.4mm-thick iPod nano today — that’s 38 percent thinner than the one it replaces.

The new iPod nano has a 2.5-inch Multi-Touch display that’s great for browsing album art, photos, videos and more. You can wirelessly connect to speakers, headphones, your car stereo, and other Bluetooth-friendly devices.

With Apple finally announcing that next Wednesday, September 12th, will be the day we all see the brand new iPhone 5 all those market watchers and predictions are ramping up. After Apple made their announcement this morning researchers have already started predicting Apple’s sales this quarter could go way beyond previous predictions with the arrival of the iPhone 5.

Apple has officially announced its September 12 2012 event, where the company is expected to unveil the new iPhone 5. As before, the much-anticipated event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, with the show kicking off at 10:00am American time; the iPhone 5 seems a certainty, given the “5″ shadow conspicuously placed in the invite and the tagline “It’s almost here.”September 12th doesnt comes as a surprise, that date having been rumored for some time now. Some speculation had tipped a simultaneous iPhone 5 and iPad mini launch, though the latter is now believed to be coming later in Q4.

Yesterday at WWDC 2012, Apple has unveiled the most advanced mobile OS in the world. iOS 6 gives you more features to make the things you do every day even better. It’s coming this fall, but a first beta was already released to developers. Jump over the break to check out what’s new in iOS 6.

As Apple company makes pretty strict limitations on who can install iOS betas. So the only legal way for you to install iOS betas is to get your  Unique Device Identifier or UDID registered as an iOS developer. UDIDead tool frees you from need to obtain the official iOS developer account (which costs $99/year) by simply adding a custom bundle from redsn0w.

Didn’t make it to WWDC 2012? No big deal, you saved yourself a whole grip of cash and you can watch the Apple keynote anyway from the comfort of your own home. The keynote covers everything launched and announced at WWDC this year, ranging from the MacBook Air refresh, MacBook Pro refresh, the all new retina MacBook Pro, iOS 6, OS X Mountain Lion, and lots of details of everything in between.
 

The first developer beta of iOS 6 is now available to download for anyone registered with Apple’s Developer program. Arriving as beta build 10A5316k, it represents the first time developers outside of Apple will have a look at the new iOS version, which includes over 200 new features. A few of the most anticipated components of iOS 6 are the new Maps app with turn-by-turn directions, Siri for iPad 3, and FaceTime over 3G.

iOS 6 beta 1 is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch 4th gen, iPad 2, and iPad 3. There is a separate version available for Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3 as well. Installing any of the beta builds requires iTunes 10.6.3, and Xcode 4.5 developer preview is also available for developers to download.
Registered developers can get the updates now from Apple’s Dev Center, joining Apple’s developer program costs $99 per yearly membership.Or install ios6 beta Without Developer Account HERE.

This is not very surprising at all because that’s how Apple works. As long as there’s a new unlocking method, Apple will find a way to stop it. While this is usually done through software and baseband update, Apple might also do drastic measures such as replacing the hardware.

BGR has learned a number of details surrounding Apple’s next-generation iPhone from a close source. For starters, we can now confidently say that Apple’s next iPhone will launch in the fall next year, around the same time that this year’s iPhone 4S launched. We have also learned that Apple is planning to use a rubber or plastic material — similar to the material used in the company’s bumper cases — that will be built into the new iPhone case. In all likelihood, this material will be used as a bezel surrounding the front edge of the phone (like the iPhone 3GS bezel) and it will serve two purposes. First, it will join the glass iPhone face with a new aluminum back plate. It will also cover a redesigned antenna system that surrounds the device, allowing Apple to build the rear case out of aluminum without having to use a large plastic insert above the antennas as the company does on its iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G. Earlier reports suggested that Apple’s next-generation iPhone will feature an aluminum case similar to the one found on the iPad 2, as well as a larger display around 4 inches.
