0 Apple to Discontinue the Original iPhone

By Admin_AT | At 2:44 PM | Label : apple , iPhone | 0 Comments

The original iPhone was released in 2007. It was both a big surprise and an expected event. Apple had been rumored to be releasing a combination of the iPod and a phone, but we weren't expecting anything like the iPhone. As impressive as it was, all products eventually become obsolete, and in the case of Apple, this is an official designation, and the iPhone will get that on June 11th. After that...

The Samsung Galaxy S4 just can't catch a break. Well, that might be a poor choice of words, considering this is the second test that shows that the Galaxy S4 could break easily. Squaretrade's system rates a phone's durability on a scale from 1-10, with 10 being the worst score. The brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 scored a 7 on that chart. Meanwhile, the S3 from last year got a better score, 6.5. In comparison,...

It looks like iOS 7 will be the first to contain design elements approved by Sir Jony Ive after all. According to a number of anonymous sources who have seen it, the new operating system will feature a brand new look, with flat design elements. Skeuomorphism, glass, and 3D designs will be a thing of the past, replaced instead with very clean, flat design. The app icons will be getting a face lift...

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is out, and reviews for it have been mixed. It's not very tough, and is made of a plastic that David Pierce of The Verge called unpleasant to hold, even saying that it felt slippery and slimy. With the superior looks of the iPhone and HTC One, Samsung has been feeling the pressure of their competitors. Rather than turn to designing better products, Samsung has turned to their...

I've posted numerous stories about this before. Apple seems to top the customer satisfaction surveys in every product category they enter. It's no surprise that the iPad would do the same for tablets. J.D. Power surveyed 1857 tablet users to figure out what customers love their tablets the most. In the categories of performance, design, ease of use, and features, the iPad was on top. It only lost...

The 16GB Samsung Galaxy S4 is $199 with a new contract on AT&T.

That's about 7.2 GB of space already used on the Samsung Galaxy S4. It's a good thing it has an SD card slot, because users are going to need it, big time. Of course, then they have to...

The iPhone 5 was released last September, so it seems logical that Apple would stick to that release schedule. Besides that, the previous rumors that the 7th generation iPhone would be released in the summer were dispelled when Tim Cook announced that Apple would be releasing new products in the Fall.

It's rare that we get a concrete release window for new Apple hardware or software. But, yesterday, during Apple's conference call, Tim Cook answered a question about a comment he made during the meeting. He mentioned fall releases, in fact, he specifically said "I don't want to be more specific. But I'm just saying we've got some really great stuff coming in the fall. And across all of 2014".

The iPhone 5 was an inch taller than every iPhone before it, bringing the screen size up to 4 inches, and giving it a 16:9 ratio. Apple pointed out that while the screen was bigger, it still could be used with one hand comfortably, something that can't be said of most Android phones. Today, Tim Cook listed another reason for the screen size, while offering some hope of a larger screen in the future....

Not long ago, the accepted rumor was that the next iPhone would be released this summer. However, it's looking as though Apple's facing some delays, and the next iPhone may not ship until later in the summer, or the fall. It's been rumored that the next iPhone would have a fingerprint scanner for secure and easy logging in, and maybe more. But, think of any fingerprint scanner you've seen on laptops....

If you're a regular reader, you might be a bit confused. I constantly have articles that praise Apple, and shun Android. So, if I hate Android, then this review must be one of two things, right? Either I've switched to Android or I'm using this as an excuse to write down all the flaws and imperfections of the HTC One, showing how the iPhone is the better phone along the way. Neither is true.
