    iphone-5s-champagne-03

    Or champagne if you want to get technical.

    I could go through the rundown of all the new bells and whistles that come with the next model in the iPhone family, but you already know if you are getting one or not if you are an Apple supporter. I will give you the easy Fisher-Price rundown:

    -New camera. Pretty pictures.

    -Fingerprint scanner.

    -Faster processor.

    -iOS 7 included. Duh.

    -Silver, black and champagne colors.

    -$199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB and $399 for 64GB.

    -Releases on September 20th.

    -Makes a great stocking stuffer.

    -I may or may not want one.

    -Will be used by every sorority chick by years end.

    -Just wanted another footnote.

    The rumored iPhone 5C became real today as Apple announced that it would replace the iPhone 5 starting on September 20th. The new model will come with polycarbonate plastic covers in multiple colors and will retail for $99 for the 16GB and $199 for 32GB.

    Along with this, it was announced that the 4S would be free with a two year contract.

    The phone will come already loaded with iOS 7 and will be available for pre-order on Friday, September 13th.

  • iPhone 5S To Launch With Different Colors, 6 In 2014 With Larger Screen?

    An analyst for Jeffries has stated that he believes that the iPhone 6 will launch in 2014 with an even larger screen than its predecessor, the iPhone 5. He also went on to say the iPhone 5S will launch this summer with the 4″ screen that is standard on the 5’s now, but that Apple will try to woo new users with a better camera, faster processor and larger choice of colors beyond just black and white.

    The iPhone’s chief rival, the Galaxy S series, is gaining steam on the king of smartphones and as much as we would like to say that this is just one analyst’s best guess, I can easily seeing things shake down just like he said.

    At PAX East it was announced that XCOM: Enemy Unknown would be released for the Mac on April 25th, but an even bigger surprise was in store for fans of the strategy series. It will also be making its way onto the iPhone and iPad and that it will be the full version of the game not some watered down version.

    “It is a straight port. We have not made any gameplay exceptions. You play the exact same game as on PC or consoles, it’s just now fully playable on an iPhone or an iPad”, says lead designer Jake Solomon.

  • He-Man: The Most Powerful Game In The Universe Coming To iOS

    Touch Teela All You Want To.

    Did you grow up watching He-Man as a child? Do you have an iPhone? Then get ready to be able to control the most powerful man in the universe in a side-scrolling beat em up coming soon on the Apple app store.

    Here is the trailer for the new game which shows all sorts of Eternia goodness including fighting as He-Man, Man-At-Arms and more as they fight the good fight against Skeletor, Hordak and all of their minions. The only gripe I have is that I want the voice to be Dolph Lundgren and every time you kill a boss he says, “Good journey”.

  • Did You Get Your iPhone 5 Reserved? Don’t Worry A Lot Of Others Didn’t Either.

    2 Week Waits Now Reported By Apple

    I really hope you were able to get that iPhone 5 pre-order in fast. Apple is now saying that there is now a two week wait for a lot of people who got online last night and pre-ordered the new iteration of the iPhone. That means that even if you did get your order in last night that you are not guaranteed an iPhone 5 on September 21st but sometime within a two week window.

    Add that to a lot of problems people were having with not being able to change their addresses when ordering the phones and Apple is not exactly having the smoothest beginning to a launch. It is possibly a minor problem….or the beginning of the end without Steve Jobs!!!!

    I’m guessing a minor problem.

  • iPhone 5 Officially Announced

    Releasing on September 21st for $199.

    As expected, today Apple announced the iPhone 5. And in today’s age of leaked content and footage there really is no surprise on the look of it. It it a two toned back and 4″ elongated screen like the leaked photos over the past few days. The phone will come loaded with iOS 6 straight out of box and the new, smaller A6 chip which is twice as fast as the A5 and allow for 2X better graphics.

    The camera will be the same as the 4S with a few improvements including 40% faster shutter speed and a built in panoramic mode as well as having facial detection for up to ten people. The back camera will be able to shoot 1080p video and the front will get to shoot our ugly mugs in 720p.

    Battery life has been improved with 225 hours of standby time and can even run 8 hours on 4G LTE.

    Size Matters

    Like I said before the phone is getting a bump in screen size to 4″ but it will be longer and not wider. Also the iPhone 5 will be 20% lighter and 18% thinner than the 4S. Apple said that they did this because they believe you should be able to handle everything on your phone with one hand (maybe a dig at such phones as the Galaxy Note).

    The new power connector is also going smaller and is called Lightning. It is 80% smaller and digital. Apple has an adapter ready to sell if you want to use your stockpile of old iPhone or iPod cords with the new phones as well.

    Siri update my status…wait wait!

    Don’t worry Siri users, the digital chick is getting a few upgrades to. First off you will now be able to update your Facebook using the service which I can already tell is going to be so much fun to watch certain people’s drunken Siri talks accidentally go up for all to see. For the sports fan you can now ask Siri about your favorite team and get live score updates on the screen.

    Apple said that the iPhone 5 will be available for pre-order on September 14th and released on September 21st. The prices are the same as when the 4S released last year so $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB and $399 for 64GB. The 4S will drop to $99 and the 4 will become free with a two year contract.

    What say all of you? Is it a big enough jump to get rid of your 4 or even your 4S?
