Apple’s rumored 7.85″ iPad will feature a “slim bezel display”
Some of you guys might be familiar with the rumors that suggests a launch of a smaller iPad is imminent. This seems to go against how Apple’s late co-founder Steve Jobs felt about smaller sized tablets, but according to a fresh set of rumors courtesy of Digitimes, it seems that Apple has found a workaround to the smaller size by employing a “slim bezel display” which would help maximize the screen space on the smaller tablet.
Unfortunately for those looking forward to seeing Retina display compressed into an even smaller 7.85” form factor, you’d be out of luck as the reports have also suggested that Apple could be using IPS/FFS panels instead, which we’re guessing will also help to keep the costs down. So much how is this rumored iPad mini going to cost? If the rumors are to be believed, anywhere between $249-$299, which is slightly more expensive than the Amazon Kindle Fire, but will be an affordable option to those who have always wanted an iPad.
While it’s not a stretch of the imagination to think that Apple could be interested in exploring the budget tablet territory, we guess we’ll have to take all of this with a grain of salt for now until more concrete evidence can be uncovered!
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.
