read more“iPhone HD” Confirmed?! A Blast From The Past?!
Well well well. My mind is officially blown. Remember the picture of the iPad that was leaked the night before the reveal? Well, this picture has helped confirm that the “iPhone HD” isn’t just a Japonese knockoff as previously reported by TUAW or MacRumors.
Well, it seems as though we have had confirmation and pictures of the next iPhone since January 2010! How can this be? By a tiny corner of the leaked iPad image…
If you look at where the arrows are pointed at, of course, there appears to be an iPhone (with a front facing camera) on top of the iPad prototype, but if you look at where the other arrow is, you can clearly see an iPhone. An iPhone that looks exactly the same as the iPhone that was leaked yesterday!
January 2010 (Day before Keynote):
Leak (April 17, 2010):
Well, as for me, I believe this 100% of the way. I believe that Apple took the “denial and discreditation” method of dismissing the rumor by posting the “Japonese Knockoff” pictures, rather than basically confirming it all by sending Engadget a “Cease and Decist”.
Apple is smart, but it seems that the internal picture taken at an Apple testing facility back in 2010 has come back to haunt them further by basically confirming the leaked images from both February 20th and yesterday night.
Take a look at the pictures and tell me that we’re crazy and that it’s not the leaked iPhone that we saw yesterday and February in the leaked picture, inside of Apple HQ the night before the iPad keynote!
Also, on a side note, this iPhone seems to take microSIMs! This is a very weird decision to do in my eyes, but I’m sure there is a reason to their madness, also, a high resolution camera on the front was confirmed, as well as a higher resolution screen!
More info as we get it!
read moreLEAK: iPhone 4G Prototype Discovered At A Bar?! (UPDATED 3X)
UPDATE 1: I have managed to get the numbers from this prototype iPhone. A lot of the numbers are “XXXXX” which is a sure fire way to confirm that this is a prototype and has not been passed through the FCC or anything.
Flash Memory: XX GB
Model Number: XXXXX
FCC: BCGAXXXXX
IC ID: 579C-AKXXX
UPDATE 2: We have another collection of pics for u 
UPDATE 3: It seems as though the pictures (the one with the multiple pictures in one picture) are from a previous leak from way back in February 20th. Now, add to these newer pictures taken earlier today, and we may have even more evidence that this is the next iPhone. Or atleast, this proves that this is a genuine Apple prototype iPhone 4th generation! One that has already been leaked twice.
Now, this could indicate that this is a controlled leak. Most all companies like to leak a little bit of information to the public (or their audience) to keep them interested and to create buzz.
However, this may also mean that the February 20th leak iPhone may be the same iPhone, its just that it was stolen or forgotten at that bar and was once more pictured.
Or lastly, Apple has had the worst possible luck at keeping the 4th generation iPhone’s look a secret with these leaks.
Only time will tell when it comes to rumors and leaks.
Apple Approves Opera Mini!
Well holy sh*#! Apple actually approved Opera Mini! I never thought this would happen! I guess the beef is between Google, Adobe, and Apple. Opera isn’t involved.
Now, your web browsing is about to skyrocket with these ultra fast rendering speeds that Opera Mini provides. It does all of the heavy crunching on the server side and then sends over the relatively small data (page) to your iPhone. It makes pages load incredibly fast even on EDGE.
So why wouldn’t Apple approve Opera? Because it doesn’t use WebKit (Apple’s rendering engine). Also, they have NEVER accepted any browser without webkit. This is a first. Looks like Steve Jobs couldn’t find a single excuse and just said “Oh, fu*# it, approve it”.
Get it soon on the iTunes App Store! Yay! I’m excited for this!
You can watch a video of it in action here.
read moreOS 4.0 Brings Spell Check For iPhone And iPod
The iPad already has the spell check feature and now one of the features I have aways wanted for the iPhone and iPod Touch has made it. When you type something wrong you usually get it fixed with the built in correction software but sometime you may spell something wrong and it does not pick it up. Now in iPhone OS 4.0 your misspelled word will be underlined in red. When you double tap on the underlined word a menu will popup that gives you the options to cut, copy, paste, and replace. If you press replace it will give you the correct spelling of the word or alternative options of what you were trying to spell.
Just sharing a cool new feature I noticed in the beta. Also another cool feature is that you can sync notes with individual mail accounts!
