Apple’s new iPad has officially launched!

Published

on

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s here – Apple’s next-generation iPad has officially been announced, and it seems that unlike the iPhone 4S rumors of last year, safe to say pretty much all the speculation and rumors surrounding the next-generation iPad have turned out to be true! 

Yup, this means that we can expect a 2048×1536 Retina display, an A5X dual-core processor under the hood with quad-core graphics, and 4G LTE connectivity that will work on both AT&T and Verizon’s network! 4G LTE will also be extended to other countries capable of a 4G LTE connection, but if not it will revert to the fastest speed possibly available, i.e. HSPA+ or maybe even 3G in certain cases.

It will also see an improvement in its camera, with a 5MP backside illuminated 5-element lens, an IR filter and ISP built into the A5X chip, face detection, along with the ability to record 1080p Full HD video. You could even think of it as the same camera for the iPhone 4S, just with a lower megapixel count. The new iPad will also come with a VGA face time camera, voice dictation capabilities, hotspot capabilities, and Apple has claimed it will sport 10 hours of battery life, and an amazing 9 hours even with 4G enabled. It will measure 9.4mm thin, which is slightly thicker than its predecessor, and will weigh 1.4lbs.

The pricing scheme of the new iPad will remain the same as the previous iPad, which means that those rumors that suggested a price hike were dead wrong. If anything, it seems that the iPad 2 has since seen a price cut of $100, so for those who are looking to save some money, perhaps the $100-cheaper iPad 2 might be worth considering.

Interestingly it seems that Apple has yet to name this iPad, other than referring to it as the “new iPad”. Interested in getting your hands on the new iPad? Well if you are, expect it to be made available come 16th of March in most major markets. So, who’s getting themselves the new iPad? [Product page]

OnePlus-iPhone-CaseNow 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!

iPhone 6S Prepares For September 18th Release Date

Published

on

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

on

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.
