Apple Shows Conflicting Views On The White iPhone

admin — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 07:42:40 +0000

Apple has not officially released the white iPhone 4 yet, but that didn’t stop Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, from purchasing one of those popular modding kits from off of the Internet and taking his own iPhone to task. Several sources have confirmed that Wozniak admits to tinkering with his iPhone in order to give it a white case. Apple has repeatedly threatened and in some cases, put people out of business on Ebay if they even hinted at giving consumers the ability to mod their iPhones to create the highly sought after white casing. Wozniak said that his iPhone had numerous issues after modding, so to his credit, perhaps this was all an experiment that was done to show consumers that their stance on modding is justified. Even still, it does show Apple as being a bit hypocritical when it comes to their iPhone modding policies.

The good news is that the white iPhone 4 is coming to a store near you, but consumers won’t be able to pick it up until sometime in the springs of 2011. Slated to be released only a few months before the unveiling of the iPhone 5, most fans will probably still pick it up, but then quickly trade it in. There have been numerous rumors and reports that Apple was going to release a white iPhone 4 since this past summer, but the company said that the phone came with too many glitches to be released to the public. Who know that changing the color of a smart phone would prove to be so difficult?

Processing Power and Storage Space on the iPhone 4

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:06:03 +0000

There are a lot of factors that pull consumers towards the iPhone 4 in terms of getting a smart phone, but Apple rarely wins over the critics based purely on the device’s looks or the ability that the company has to market their products. Instead, the harshest critics want to get a good look at the guts and muscle of the phone to decide whether or not it is a true competitor for the title of this generation’s top smart phone or whether it is just another marketing ploy by a company that could be losing its touch.

It turns out that things are looking great for those who take the time to look under the hood and see what the iPhone 4 is all about. The fact that it is harnessing the power of the same chip that runs in the ever popular Apple iPad, Apple’s A4 chip has certainly won some critics over. This is a chip that is called a system on a chip style chip and it is made of a PowerVR SGX 535 GPU that has been integrated with the standard Cortex A8 CPU so many reviewers fell in love with last year. While the iPad is known to have a top speed for this processor that clocks in at around 1 GHz, Apple is notorious for underclocking their iPhones in order to reduce the amount of heat the device creates and also to appeal to consumers with a longer lasting battery. However, one small detail that may stun many iPhone fans is the fact that this chip the iPhone 4 uses? It’s made by Samsung, the same company that competes with Apple in the smart phone market.

When it comes to storage space there is 512 MB of on board eDRAM in this version of the iPhone and a new format Micro-SIM allows up to 32 GB more of space.

One of the strongest aggregators of tech news online, Techmeme, has gone mobile and is now available on several smart phones, Apple’s iPhone being chief among them. The new site has been designed specifically for readers using a mobile device and is substantially easier to look through than its online cousin. The site will allow users to browse it and choose headlines, expanding them to read each article they choose to, along with the ability to view discussion threads that are related to each article. This goes above and beyond what the actual site itself provides since it does not expand individual stories into their own pages.

After bringing on board an additional three more editors, Techmeme intends to use its expanded staff to bring more of what it is known for to its viewers, that being tech news from all around the web. For many users, the web site was something they checked on a regular basis, multiple times per day, in order to keep abreast of the latest happenings in the swiftly changing digital world that the site covers. The added benefit of being able to browse with convenience while on the go holds high appeal for the site’s core user base, tech enthusiasts and web business people in need of timely news.
