After numerous photos and video leaks, a couple of new photos of the Apple iPhone 5C have surfaced on the web that indicate the phones are ready to be shipped. The photos show off a bunch of box-packaged iPhone 5C units and the packaging material including the manual further fuel the rumors surrounding the iPhone 5C’s anticipated launch on September 10.

The photo displaying packed units of the phone was spotted by 9to5mac on iApps.im. The iPhone 5C units in this photo look pretty similar to what the earlier leaked photos and videos have suggested, and the packaging pattern also resembles Apple’s boxing style seen for the colorful iPod touch. The packaging for iPhone in the photo comes with red wallpaper matching to the red chassis of the iPhone 5C which was exposed as one of the five colors of iPhone 5C in earlier photos as well.

In another set of photos that surfaced on Weibo, the packaging material including the SIM card ejection tool, and other details, and a manual script highlighting the ‘iPhone 5C’ have been shown off. The phone in the manual cards in the image comes with a white back, black front bezels, and a white wallpaper which confirm that iPhone 5C’s default wallpaper cover will be the same as its plastic rear casing.

Rumoured Gold iPhone 5S and plastic iPhone 5C compared in a Video

By Vijay @ 10:10pm

By now you must be more than familiar with how the forthcoming iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S are likely to look, according to several leaks. Adding to the already long list, is a video posted by AppAdvice, which shows the back casings of the gold colored iPhone 5S and the blue variant of the iPhone 5C.

About 4 min  long video shows the gold variant of the iPhone 5S alongside the aforementioned blue variant of the iPhone 5C and the two iPhone 5 colors. The iPhone 5S looks strikingly similar to the iPhone 5, with the only visible difference being an elongated flash unit, which could house the dual LED flash module that was leaked earlier. Additionally, the iPhone 5S is also expected to feature an upgraded camera and a fingerprint scanner.

The iPhone 5C plastic back panel, on the other hand, remains consistent with the previous leaks. It is likely to be offered in two variants—codenamed ‘Zenevo’ and the ‘Zagato/Bertone’. The variants are said to look the same but will feature slight differences on the hardware front. Zenovo is reported to feature a dual-core Samsung H5P processor, 1GB of RAM and Bluetooth 4.0, while the Zegato/Bertone, is said to feature an H6P processor and 1GB of RAM, and Bluetooth 4.0.

Additionally, the phone is also expected to sport an 8-megapixel rear camera.

Both the devices are expected to be announced on September 10.

Apple’s gold colored iPhone 5S confirmed

By Vijay @ 10:37pm

 

We have been hearing rumors about Apple’s plans to offer its forthcoming iPhone 5S in a gold colored variant and even seen alleged photos of the device. Now a report by TechCrunch’s MG Siegler has all but confirmed the existence of this variant.

According to the report, the idea of a gold variant stems from the fact that the color is very popular. Gold colored cases are a huge hit, especially in countries like China and India and Apple wants to tap into this growing market. Another reason could be that Apple is facing another year where their upgrades will be internal rather than external, and by offering a new jazzy color it would be able to please a large section of buyers.

Making a gold colored variant is not difficult either and in fact is much easier to manufacture than the black variant. The process involves a simple chemical reaction, with the possible addition of dye depending on the exact color they want to produce. Siegler further reveals that the device won’t be a gaudy gold color but a more subtle champagne color.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 5S during a press conference on September 10, and the device is said to feature a faster processor, an upgraded camera with a dual-LED flash and an embedded fingerprint scanner. The 5S will also reportedly be accompanied by the cheaper iPhone 5C, which too will be offered in multiple colored variants, ranging from white, red, blue, green and yellow among others.

Now seperate Apple’s Appstore for Kids in advance of IOS 7…

By Vijay @ 05:30pm

 

IOS 7 users can now expect to see a new section in the App Store aimed at children . 9to5Mac reports that iOS developers have started receiving emails stating that they can now submit their apps for the Kids section, which is meant specifically for children 11 years old and younger. Apps can be linked to one of three different age ranges: children five and under, children six to eight, and children nine and above. While all apps will be featured in their usual categories per the current behavior, only those that have been tagged with the selected age ranges will appear in the new Kids section

 It’s just one of several kid-friendly preparations Apple is making in the App Store. Earlier this week, MacRumors reported that Apple had updated its app review guidelines to reflect the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which prevents developers from collecting information like email addresses from children under 13 without the consent of a parent.

 The new language also sates that children under 13 can’t be subjected to customized advertising based upon their behavior within the app, and that they can’t be sent outside an app or purchase anything without consent from a parent.

 As tablets and mobile devices have become increasingly omnipresent, these small considerations have become an increasingly important concern and selling point  with iOS, the latest version of Android, and the Kindle Fire line of products all offering some sort of restricted access profiles for parents now a days in they recent udpates..

A special iPhone device named iECG can help prevent strokes

By Vijay @ 02:04pm

A special iPhone device can be used to quickly detect heart rhythm problems and help prevent strokes, say researchers. Experts from the University of Sydney said the cheap device, known as the AliveCor Heart Monitor for iPhone (iECG), was highly effective and accurate in screening patients with undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF).

The study was revealed at the Australia and New Zealand Cardiac Society conference in Queensland, Xinhua reported: The device was invented by an Australian scientist and a US cardiologist. Ben Freedman, professor at the University of Sydney, and his colleagues tested the device on randomly selected people aged 65 or older at 10 pharmacies in Sydney. He said the device was an exciting breakthrough and can be operated without special skills.

“Atrial Fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm problem and is responsible for almost one third of all strokes,” he said. “AF increases with age, affecting more than 15 percent of people aged 85 years and over.”

Freedman said people with atrial fibrillation face up to a five-fold increased risk of stroke and tend to have more severe and life-threatening strokes. He said the research shows around 50,000 Australians aged over 65 have AF, but people themselves dosen’t know it.

“There are currently a large number of people with unknown AF who are at high risk of stroke, but who are not on any medication,” he said. “The iECG allows us to screen patients for atrial fibrillation in minutes, and treat people early.”
