iPhone Case Can Stop a 0.50 Caliber Bullet

Published

While looking for an iPhone case, the two contributing factors to your final purchase will probably be protection and comfort of use. If you find yourself under fire by one bullet (up to 0.50 caliber) everyday though and if you’re also willing to sacrifice a bit of the comfort and form factor, Japanese company Marudai Corp has the perfect product for you. Its latest case for the iPhone 4/4S which is allegedly so heavily armored that it can supposedly stop a direct hit from a 0.50 caliber bullet and keep your smartphone intact.

The solid steel embedded in the back of the device will keep it safe but the screen in front has been left exposed for obvious reasons. The cover literally has to be bolted in place with an Allen Key. As anyone would expect with a case like that, it comes with a few disadvantages. With the cover, your iPhone will weigh 4.5 pounds and will be 1.5 inches thick but on the bright side, if you’re getting shot at that often, this can serve as a dumbbell while you’re on the go for training you will probably need if push turns to shove and shooting commences. Another disadvantage that this $650 case has is that the thick plating at the back reduces the viewfinder for your camera to make everything look like it was shot through a peephole. Given that exorbitant price tag, it might be better to back up your data on the cloud regularly, get some insurance and buy a proper Kevlar vest for yourself, nonetheless, this is interesting to note.

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.
