Published

on

Antennagate

Apple has decided to settle a class action product liability lawsuit that which claimed the company iPhone 4 had a poor antenna design which caused not only dropped calls but also poor signals. According to a legal statement sent to users of the iPhone  4, the company will reimburse the owners (or previous owners) with either $15 or a free black bumper case (worth $29) which is said to remedy the problem of the antennagate.

Here’s the twist, a statement from Apple in February said that that only a ‘small number’ of people will qualify for the settlement. They say that in order to ‘qualify’ for reimbursement, iPhone 4 owners or past owners much meet all of the qualifying factors in the list. They are as follows:

1)      Be a U.S Resident or have owned a iPhone 4 before February 17 2012

2)      Have experienced the antenna issue or bad reception

3)      Have been unable to return the phone without incurring costs

4)      Have completed troubleshooting steps

5)      Did not want case or bumper for the phone

Published

iphone6-diamond-ecstasy-goldIf 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.

iPad Air 3 Not Coming This Year According To Rumors

Published

apple-logo2It 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.
