Rumor: Sony tapped to provide in-cell displays for next iPhone

Posted: 21 May 2012 04:49 PM PDT

AppleInsider points to a new report from the Taipei Times today claiming that Sony has been tapped to manufacturer displays for Apple’s upcoming smartphone, joining Sharp, Toshiba Mobile and LG.

The most interesting part of the report is that these display panels are going to be using in-cell technology, something we touched on a bit last month, as it could have major implications for the handset…(...)

WWDC alternative Indiedevlab announces Saurik and other speakers

Posted: 21 May 2012 03:29 PM PDT

Late last month, Apple finally put the tickets for its highly-anticipated WWDC event up for sale. But within two hours, the tickets were gone, leaving hundreds of developers out to dry. Luckily, there’s another option.

If you’re going to be in the San Francisco area around June 11-14, you might want to check out Indiedevlab. No, Scott Forstall won’t be there giving a rundown of iOS 6 features. But Saurik and others will be attending…(...)

The app should be indispensable to anyone managing their own Pages on Facebook.

Those crazy Taiwanese animators do the bigger iPhone meme

Posted: 21 May 2012 01:45 PM PDT

Those crazy Taiwanese animators are back at it, this time with a take on recent rumors calling for a bigger iPhone. True to their quick and dirty style, the somewhat cheesy animation takes us through the latest from the rumor-mill, both crazy stories and those corroborated by established media outlets.

We couldn’t resist sharing it with you as the clip kinda summarizes major iPhone 5 headlines, even if it’s taking inappropriate to new levels…(...)

Despite Qualcomm chip shortages, analyst says next iPhone will feature LTE

Posted: 21 May 2012 12:31 PM PDT

With all of the recent talk regarding the next-generation iPhone’s display, the LTE rumors seem to have faded to the background. Maybe it’s because folks are assuming that, after the third-gen iPad, the feature is a lock for Apple’s next smartphone.

Gene Munster certainly seems to think so. PiperJaffray’s senior Apple analyst told investors today that even though there has been some speculation that a Qualcomm chip shortage could affect Apple’s upcoming handset, it will still ship with LTE compatibility…(...)

Why carriers put up with high iPhone subsidy

Posted: 21 May 2012 11:45 AM PDT

I already opined on crazypants analysts predicting carriers would put the iPhone in its place because they reason Apple wields far too much power in the wireless industry.

Newsflash: we’ve been hearing for years that disgruntled carriers will drop iPhone subsidies and hurt Apple’s bottom line in the process.

Surprisingly enough, fear of customer-retention rates spiking if they did has so far outweighed concerns of their profits taking a short-term hit because fewer people could afford a non-subsidized iPhone.

The fact of the matter is, it’s never been about Apple or even industry politics for that matter. This is about a sought-after device with the proven ability to bring in new customers.

It’s simple: make the iPhone more pricier and expect customers to flee to another network that offers it subsidized…(...)

Why developers aren’t worried about rumored 4-inch iPhone

Posted: 21 May 2012 11:27 AM PDT

After three major news outlets confirmed that Apple was ordering larger smartphone displays last week, the 4-inch iPhone theory is quickly going from rumor to fact. It seems like everyone is giving into the idea, including developers.

GigaOM recently polled a handful of high-profile iOS app-makers regarding the prospect of a larger-screened iPhone. And the general consensus seems to be that they aren’t too worried about it causing any major headaches…(...)

Reveal allows you to view more text on banner and Lock screen notifications

Posted: 21 May 2012 10:53 AM PDT

Today I was able to go hands-on with Reveal — a jailbreak tweak that allows you to view more text for your banner and Lock screen notifications.

As it stands, stock notifications aren’t nearly as useful as they should be, because you can only view an extremely truncated version of the message contained within the notification.

Reveal aims to change this by allowing you to horizontally scroll on banner notifications, vertically scroll on Lock screen notifications, and more.

Take a look at our hands-on video walkthrough inside…(...)

Even the iPhone charger is a work of art

Posted: 21 May 2012 10:08 AM PDT

Did you ever wonder why Apple’s $29 USB Power Adapter for the iPhone costs so much more compared to, say, Samsung’s cube charger that goes for about $6-$10 (and looks all too familiar).

Alright, everything Apple is more expensive because the company makes integrated products that “just work”, right?

But as tough as it is to argue against Apple pricing its shiny gadgets accordingly, it’s far too easy to criticize Apple accessories that many people think cost more simply because of the official branding.

In the case of the original Apple USB Power Adapter, there is no merit to this argument for there’s more to your iPhone charger than meets the eye…(...)
