iPhone 5C specs Leaked with Siri included

Pictures of the iPhone 5C have been leaked several times on the internet for the past weeks which shows mainly the design, but the specifications are still basically unknown. Today a  new report leaks online which shows the full detailed specification of the iPhone 5C.

Although the American manufacturer has not yet confirmed anything, the name of the device iPhone 5C seems also officially confirmed, where the “C” presumably stands for color.

Specs of the iPhone 5C detailed below:
Dual-core CPU (unknown clock speed)
4,0 inch display
1136 x 640 pixels
1 GB RAM
16/32/64 GB storage
8,0 megapixel camera on the back
1,2 megapixel camera on the front
4.89 x 2.30 x 0.30 inch (124,2 x 58,4 x 7,6 mm)
3.74 oz (106 grams)
iOS 7.0
Siri (English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian and Spanish)

This makes the device slightly larger and narrower than the iPhone 5, but these differences are minimal. The thickness remained unchanged, despite recent leaked cases that showed a slightly thicker design. The weight is 6 grams decreased, which can be explained by the plastic housing.

The predicted retail price of the iPhone 5C is set around $ 400 for the 16 GB version, and the release is set for the end of September.

iOS 7 to be available to the public on September 10th.

An apple developer received an email indicating that iOS 7 would be released to the general public on the 10th, giving non-developers their first peek at the controversial operating system. The email comes from Nuance, which works closely enough with Apple to know the date in advance.

The news could also indicate that the release date of the new iPhones will come much closer to the September 10th event itself. Apple could even opt for a day-of release, a move the company has executed successfully with other products, but never attempted with the iPhone.

Leaked Parts of the Gold iPhone 5S

Today’s emergence of the possibility of a gold colored iPhone 5S is definitely up there with the unexpected speculative topics. It may seem a little unlikely to some, but newly leaked images that show purported parts of the sparkling device add more fuel to the growing fire.

It’s also interesting to note that the source of the images are claiming that they have purposely removed any sign of the Apple branding or iPhone trademark from the back of the device’s shell. It seems rather strange that this would happen, but the lack of any blurring or distortion on the image could suggest that the parts themselves aren’t actually genuine. This however doesn’t mean that the gold or champagne colored device doesn’t exist. A number of well respected and well placed individuals are putting their reputations on the line by stating that this gold variant of the iPhone is indeed going to happen, and happen soon.

With Apple expecting to hold a media event on September 10th we don’t have long to wait to see what they have in store for us and the future of the iPhone.

Siri not included in iPhone 5C

The Apple iPhone 5C is not yet official, but judging by the overwhelming number of leaked images, videos and whispers, the device is coming soon. Latest report suggest the device will not support signature iOS features and capabilities including the Siri voice assistant, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster stated in an investors note released on Monday night.

Munster says that some "software features" like Siri may be excluded from the low cost model. The Wall Street number cruncher forecasts that the iPhone 5C will end up retailing for $300. Apple is then expected to put the Apple iPhone 4S in mothballs and make the iPhone 5C its low end model. The analyst says that eliminating Siri on the low-cost model should be enough to differentiate the iPhone 5C from the iPhone 5S and prevent cannibalization of higher-end sales by the budget version of the phone.

As far as the new full-priced model is concerned, Munster sees a fingerprint scanner coming on the Apple iPhone 5S, but does not believe features like mobile payments will be ready for iOS 7 this year. Instead, he believes that the scanner will offer basic functions such as unlocking the phone. Securing payments using fingerprints won't occur until next year's iOS update, according to Munster.  The long-time Wall Streeter expects a large-screened Apple iPhone and the Apple iWatch to come to market in the middle of next year.

Next-gen iPhone might be called iPhone 5G

The name of the next-gen iPhone might actually be ‘iPhone 5G’, if we were to believe the signage on a box from China allegedly containing the screen of that upcoming iPhone.

Too many ifs, aren’t there? You should definitely take all this with a grain of salt as with everything Apple, but these leaks do look legit.

The leaked front panel and screen look no different than the current iPhone 5, and that falls in line with earlier whispers of changes occurring mostly under the hood with the new Apple device. For now, that’s all there is to it - a simple front panel that is not hooked up to a chip.

The iPhone rumor mill is churning new material every day, though, and it’s heard on the grapevine that Apple is preparing for a September announcement for both an ‘iPhone 5G’ and a plastic iPhone 5C.

YouTube For iOS Updated With Live Streaming Support

Google, the search giants has been spending a lot of time on its YouTube app for iOS. It isn’t too surprising, as the search giant was more or less forced to release their own when Apple dropped it from iOS 6. This time around, the app comes with the ability to access live streams right from the iOS app, letting you tune into live events while on the go.

Aside from the live streaming, there’s a new My Subscriptions feed, which gives you quick access to new uploads, as well as support for video queuing for TV playback.

Beyond that, there are a couple of minor additions along with a new performance and stability improvements. 

Why don't you heard over to the app store and download the new and updated version of Youtube for iOS.

Google Reported to Acquire WhatsApp For $1 Billion

WhatsApp Messenger, the cross-platform instant messaging app serving iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Symbian and Windows Phone, is a life-saver to those looking for a hassle-free mode of communication, and according to a new report, the search giant is very interested in buying it.

According to the report from Gizmodo, WhatsApp founded by former Yahoo pioneers Brian Acton and Jan Koum, is said to be holding out for the $1 billion.

The news, if true, would be pretty significant, but also rather surprising. Google’s mobile messaging department could certainly do with bolstering, and drafting in WhatsApp would certainly be an easy way for the Mountain View-based company to achieve this. However, it has long since been reckoned that Google’s ‘Babel’ chat will be an all-encompassing communications service, and with GTalk already being a popular, strong feature of the GApps (at least, on Android), the immediate benefit would seem to be in the user base WhatsApp has amassed in its four years of existence.

Google has, on numerous occasions, acknowledged that the quality of its messaging services have fallen below par, and buying WhatsApp would be a big statement of intent. It would also, as many perceived as motive to Facebook’s Instagram purchase, eliminate one of the main competitors in this field, helping Google quickly place itself among the likes of Facebook Messenger and Apple iMessage.

Unless Google Babel is, contrary to reports, not culminating into the great service Google needs to make its presence known in the IM market, then this could also go a way to explaining why the company is rumored to be considering WhatsApp. After all, the service, which was founded only in 2009, handles tens of billions of messages a day, and if it were to provide the engine for the upcoming Babel service, Google would have one hell of a beast to unleash.

Apple To Release 4.5-inch iPhone In 2014

A new report from Macotakara claims that Apple will release a polycarbonate 4.5-inch iPhone in 2014. The report went on to suggest the handset will be made of polycarbonate; a glossy, robust type of plastic used by many other smartphone vendors, as well as the famed entry-level MacBook.

For the very enticing price tag, the entry-level iPhone will also pack in a 4.5-inch display, which would be noticeably, if not exceptionally larger than that of the current iPhone 5. Although the iPhone 5 is revered for its thin form factor and sleek aluminum finish, those purchasing the entry-level model should not expect such niceties. Apparently, it will be thicker than the current flagship thanks to the polycarbonate body, although the alternative design may also render it more durable than its high-end counterpart.

The report concludes by briefly touching on the subject of the iPhone 5′s successor. The device, which Macotakara is calling the "iPhone 5S", is reckoned to include a dual-flash LED module to help improve the long-standing low-lighting issues, while two flash exposures will allegedly be stacked atop each other on the right-hand side of the camera lens.

Apple releases iOS 6.1 beta 2 to developers

Apple has released the second beta of iOS 6.1 to developers, with Map Kit enhancements and Passbook improvements, alongside a new Apple TV software beta and a new preview of Xcode 4.6.

The iOS 6.1 beta 2 is known as build 10B510c, and is compatible with all iPads except the original, the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S and iPhone 3GS, and the 4th and 5th generations of the iPod touch.

The second beta arrived little more than a week after Apple released the first iOS 6.1 beta to developers, and an iOS 6.0.1 update to the public, bringing bug fixes and minor improvements to Apple's latest mobile operating system.

Apple Insider reports that "developers have said that the first beta of iOS 6.1 was relatively stable, but there some crashing issues did occur when using the camera's panorama mode".

The latest build of iOS 6.1 adds further improvements to the Map Kit framework that allows third-party developers to use Apple's Maps service to search for map-based addresses and points of interest.

Apple has also added a note to help beginners get to grips with Passbook, the virtual wallet that was introduced with iOS 6 in September. While Passbook is largely redundant in the UK at present, it looks set to be making its way into our lives, and British Airways has said that it wants to join Apple's e-ticketing scheme "as soon as we can".
