Why do the holes on the iPad 2 cases keep changing?
The folks over at iLounge have released an extremely interesting article questioning the legitimacy of all the iPad 2 case leaks we’ve been fed so far. In case you haven’t noticed, all the iPad 2 cases have had redesigned backs. Extra holes spotted on the sides and bottom which have led to the speculation of additional ports, larger speakers and so on. But until now, we have yet to see any images of the real device to confirm if any of these extras are what we’ve been thinking about all along. For all we know the iPad 2 will have none of that in the final version, seeing how Apple likes to keep everything sleek and elegant, it wouldn’t be surprising if the next iPad has no SD card slot or USB port.Anyhow, the article proposed a very interesting theory which probably hasn’t crossed a lot of minds before – Apple could be feeding wrong information to these third party case manufacturers just to see what gets leaked out. A tricky way to test how tight lipped a manufacturer can be and judging by what’s been happening over the past few months, it looks like many of them can’t be trusted. This definitely explains all the different cases we’ve been seeing so far but if they’ve been leaking out the wrong information. The details of the correct iPad dimensions and specifications have probably been delivered to some trustworthy manufacturers (probably tested in the same way previously) and they will be the ones who will produce the accessories that will be available at the same time as the iPad 2’s launch. Or there is the (highly unlikely) possibility of the iPad 2 coming in multiple variants, and Apple hasn’t been leaking bad info at all. I guess only time will tell, let’s hope an official announcement will come sooner than later. Any thoughts?
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.
