Apple iPhone 5 ready to blast the international market

Apple has introduce the new iPhone technology which is called as a iphone 5 which is ready to blast the international market.Apple fan are anticipating and desperately waiting for the announcement of the Apple iPhone 5 release date, which is now expected to happen in Summer 2012.Apple has add many new features to the new iPhone 5 which is waiting by the many fans and current Apple iPhone consumers.

The most recent rumors indicate that the iPhone 5 will have a 4+ inch display, possibly made by Korean giant LG. However rumors of a teardrop-shaped device have been shelved after a Foxconn employee in China revealed that samples so far are symmetrical in thickness. (Foxconn is the company that currently manufactures the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 for Apple.) The same source reveals that neither of the samples have the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S forms, and that neither of the devices seen so far are the final versions. This employee has however failed to indicate any concrete features that are set to appear in this next generation of iPhone.

Apple iPhone 5 Features

Although Apple does not reveal the exact specifications and features until the device is officially unveiled, we could dictate some of the main features that are expected. However, rumor of the new iPhone 5 features, in terms of both hardware and software upgrades, will definitely entice any smartphone buyer.
The upcoming phone is expected to sport the Apple’s latest and greatest A5 processor chip, iCloud service, higher-resolution camera, and a 4+ inch screen size. Here are some of the most anticipated iPhone 5 features.

iOS 5

Apple announced iOS 5.0 and its features during the WWDC 2011 keynote address on June 6, 2011. The user interface is based on the concept of direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures. It is expected to come with more than 200 new features that will include improved Notification System, News Stand and iMessage.
iMessage is an application that is developed to compete with Blackberry Messenger. The app will allow iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad users to communicate (much like a chat service) with each other. The iMessage feature has been integrated into the SMS/MMS application used originally on the iPhone models.

iCloud

The iPhone5 is expected to have the iCloud service.
Apple’s iPhone 5 is expected to feature the new iCloud service for wireless remote access of music from all computers and mobile devices.
The iPhone5 will automatically sync with the iCloud which will allow users to store photos, apps, calendars and documents without having them to store in the phone’s memory. Apple is also looking to tie up with top music label companies to license songs for the iCloud service.
However, rumors state that Apple might release a low-cost “iCloud iPhone” alongside the iPhone 5. It could be named the “iPhone Mini”.

A5 Processor to power the iPhone5

iPhone 5 will house the A5 as the main processor, which technically is the same chip that currently powers the iPad 2. The A5 contains a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU with NEON SIMD accelerator and a dual core PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU, which means that the iPhone5 can do twice the work at once. The processor speed will be somewhere between 1.2 to 1.5 GHz, with probably a 1GB RAM.

The processor upgrade is done not just to increase the processing speed of the phone, but also to compete with the newly launched Samsung Galaxy S II.

The A5 chip might effectively increase the power use, however, it is said that the chip has “got a dynamic power management”, which can lower the [speed] depending on the workload, and thus efficiently make use of the power.

iPhone 5 to Sport a Better Camera

The iPhone 4 sports a 5 megapixel camera, so I’m expecting that the iPhone 5 will have a rear-facing 8MP dual-LED flash camera. However, this isn’t really “awesome”, since most of the high-end Android smartphones come with an 8MP camera. Along with that, the iPhone 5 is expected to have a front-facing camera for video chatting.

According to sources, Apple has filed several patent applications relating to 3D picture capturing to the US Patent and Trademark Office later in March. This indicates that the iPhone 5 might feature a 3D camera. The filing indicates that the device will be capable of capturing, processing and rendering 3D images with dual-camera hardware.

Another interesting feature is that the iPhone 5 will be capable of taking pictures in Panorama. It will work similarly to the ’360 Panorama’ application in the App Store. It will let you take pictures in a sequence as you move the camera from one side to another, which in the end will effortlessly stitch the images together to create a panorama.

Additionally, if Apple really wants to keep up with the competition to Android, then it might consider improving upon the video resolution to a full 1080p HD recording. Currently iPhone 4 has a 720p video capture at 30 frames per second.

Display and Resolution

There hasn’t been a better screen resolution since the release of the iPhone 4. Currently the iPhone 4 has a 3.5 inches screen size, and sources indicate that Apple might stay locked with the current size. But a few other sources (including a recent rumor from a Foxconn employee in China) say that Apple is planning to increase the screen size to 4+ inch with higher screen resolution.
However, the iPhone 5 could be slightly wider and thinner. The dimensions are calculated to be: 4.33″ x 2.36″ and .27″ thickness at the top and .21″ at the bottom, whereas the dimensions of iPhone 4 are: 4.5″ x 2.31″ x .37″.

Other iPhone5 Features

Here are some of the other features that we can expect from the iPhone 5:

 1.  Face Recognition Security 
 2.  4G/LTE support *
 3.  A new, sleeker body design
 4.  OLED screen
 5.  Scratch proof and shatter proof screen
 6.  Wireless sync with iTunes
 7.  Extended battery life
 8.  Flash support
 9.  SIM-less phone **
10.  Physical keyboard
11.  Increased RAM (from 512MB to 1GB)
12.  New multi-tasking look
13.  HD audio
14.  Built-in GPS

iPad Repair: Apple Is Telling Who Makes Their Parts (What Is An OEM Part And Why Do You Care?)

After decades of secrecy, Apple is spilling some information about who makes components for them. Some of the companies named for the majority of what is made for Apple: Intel Corp., Broadcom Corp., Amphenol Corp. and Sanyo Electric Co. Why is this important or not important for you? Before we go there, what has Apple really told the world - probably not a lot of information.
What is OEM?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. In the case of the repair of your iPad, that would be the company that made the glass (for example) for your iPad in the first place.
Just because Apple named some names, the game still remains.
China has a population about four times the USA. As you can imagine, there are manufacturers everywhere in that population. Intel Corporation (for example) may be one of Apple's suppliers, but the bigger question is, who are Intel's subcontractors in China? It could be a very long list.
Add to that: China is famous for making good copies and bad copies of nearly everything. In other words, if you hold a replacement glass for the iPad in your hand, and it has the Apple logo on it, you have no way on this earth of knowing if it is OEM or not. All you CAN know is - does it fit properly and work properly?
Is it important to use OEM parts?
You may have seen the insurance company ads. Usually, it is an ad by an insurance company suggesting you use them because they insist your car be repaired using only OEM and not "after market" parts. They might show you a car repaired with a poorly made after market fender, and the same model repaired with the correctly fitting OEM fender. Why do they do this?
The insurance company wants you to believe that they have superior standards, and therefore it is worth paying their superior premiums.
What can you do if you can't tell if a part is OEM?
If you have your Apple device repaired by Apple, the parts will be OEM. If you have your Apple device repaired by an independent Apple device repair shop, they won't know if what the parts they use are OEM. They may tell you they are OEM. They may believe they are OEM, but there is no way for them or you to know for sure.
Here's what to do:
As in anything, there are good, great and so-so iPhone, iPad and iPod repair shops. The good independent shops use parts which fit well and work well. Those same shops offer a real warranty that covers parts and labor.
Your job is to let them know (before they work on your iPad) that you expect a part which fits perfectly, and operates perfectly - up to the standard of the original.
WARNING:
Take a few minutes while deciding where to have your iPhone, iPad or iPod fixed, to go to the review websites, and see if you can check out the repair shop you're thinking of using.
Look, yelp, Google, Yahoo and others are not perfect, by far.
A small business can be a 5 Star one day, and fall to 3 Star with a few bad reviews. We were 5 Star on yelp. One day, a very happy customer wrote a perfect review, but for whatever reason, didn't rate us as 5 Star, but did rate us as 4 Star. That great review lowered our yelp rating to 4.5 Star.
However, that doesn't mean that review websites don't matter, they do. Do your best to a feel of the flavor of the place from the reviews. Once you get to the shop, remember to make a big deal about how critical you're going to be about the repair - you'll be looking at the fit, finish, and function of the repair. Remember to make it a big deal before they do the repair.
