Image Shows Bigger Battery For iPhone 5

iPhone 5

If reports on the larger display and 4G LTE network connectivity for the iPhone 5 are accurate, it may be necessary to increase the battery of the next-generation iPhone. And it appears that the upcoming device will feature a comparatively higher capacity battery if a recently-leaked image is proven to be authentic.

A supposed image of the battery for the iPhone 5 of Apple recently came out which would increase the battery capacity of the device by around 10mAh compared to the current model of the device.

Earlier reports hinted of the possibility that the still-unreleased iPhone 5 will feature a bigger display screen, which may affect the battery life of the device. In addition to the bigger screen displays, Speculations have emerged on the possibility that the iPhone 5 will feature 4G LTE network connectivity, which will also drain much of the battery life of the device.

But it should be taken into account that Apple has not given the official confirmation of the existence of the iPhone 5 let alone the bigger display and the 4G LTE network connectivity. If these features will be integrated into the upcoming smartphone, the company may also have other methods in coping with the battery-draining aspect of these new features. It may even use different components for the iPhone 5 in order to enhance the battery life of the device.

If the supposed leaked image of the battery of the iPhone 5 is proven to be authentic, it may also be possible for the company to increase the voltage of the device to 3.8 volts from 3.7 volts.

The leaked image is the latest in a string of leaked images for the iPhone 5, which was not even officially confirmed by Apple. In addition to a bigger display and 4G LTE network support, previous reports had hinted of a new dock connector for the iPhone 5. Additional evidence of a bigger display for the iPhone 5 supposedly emerged through the iOS simulator app of Apple, which showed the iOS 6 running with a 640 x 1136 resolution.

All of these reports on the iPhone 5 will remain speculations until the device is finally released by the company, which is also speculated to happen sometime nextmonth.

Earlier reports had hinted that an Android-powered camera was being developed by Nikon. According to Nikonrumours, this Android-powered camera is the Nikon Coolpix S800.

The Nikon Coolpix S800 will supposedly come with a 25 to 250mm lens, 3.5-inch OLED display, integrated GPS, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The reported Android-powered camera will use the Gingerbread Android 2.3, which is way behind the current version of the mobile OS, the Jelly Bean Android 4.1.

Access to the Google Play store may add to the appeal of the Nikon Coolpix S800, which may allow users to download apps into the device. This may give users something to do while waiting for the perfect ‘Nikon’ moment that they can capture with the supposed Android-powered camera from Nikon.

It remains uncertain whether the report on the Nikon Coolpix S800 is authentic or not since the site has not revealed its sources. However it did indicate that the reported Nikon Coolpix S800 may be unveiled by August 22, which gives potential buyers some time to save up for the device.

A number of reports had also hinted at the possibility that Samsung will be releasing its own Android-powered camera although nothing much was heard about these reports. Although some industry watchers are looking forward to the release of the reported Nikon S800, the performance of the product itself remains up in the air following the hands-on experience on the Polaroid SC1630, which also featured an Android OS.

Whether the Nikon Coolpix S800 will perform well in the market or not remains to be seen although it will be an interesting addition to the Android-powered devices that are already in the market.

Black is beautiful, as an old saying goes, and it appears that the latest flagship smartphone of Samsung will soon become available in black. An image of a black Samsung Galaxy S3 was uploaded recently into the Facebook page of the South Korean company.

The image showing black Samsung Galaxy S3 as had the white-colored version beside the new device. The caption on the image made a reference to the S Beam of the device, which allows the transmission of content from one smartphone to another.

However it remains uncertain if the image does indeed herald the coming of a black Samsung Galaxy S3, the device on the image does not match any of the devices that are currently available in the market. Another image, which used the Olympics as its theme, showed a similar black Samsung Galaxy S3 being used in taking images of a tube train.

The matte look of the black Samsung Galaxy S3 may allow it to be differentiated from the other versions of the device. However some industry watchers are speculating on the possibility that the image of the black Samsung Galaxy S3 may not be entirely authentic or it may even be a prototype of the device that has somehow found its way to the official photographers of the company.

The latest Samsung flagship smartphone is currently available in pebble blue and white although some issues in production may have affected the pebble blue model.

However it should also be taken into account that Samsung does have a knack for offering new color options for its popular devices so it is still quite possible that the black Samsung Galaxy S3 may already be in the works.

Xbox

A new Xbox by 2014? This was hinted recently in a job posting on the Careers Website of Microsoft before it was removed. The job posting reportedly showed that the company was looking for a marketing professional who will work on new versions of some significant products of the company.

The job posting reportedly included the Xbox in addition to Windows, Office and Microsoft Surface.

Reports on a new Xbox have emerged in recent months with some calling it as the Xbox 720 and will reportedly be released in the coming year. The marketing professional will reportedly work on the new versions of the products of the company including the new Xbox over the next eighteen months. This gives indications that the new Xbox may see the light of day near the end of 2013 or the early part of 2014.

The job posting of Microsoft did not give any indications on the specific timeframe of the release of the products, which means that the new Xbox may become available within the eighteen-month timeframe.

The latest indications of the possible release of the next-generation Xbox follows a confidential MS PowerPoint file that was leaked into the net last June. The leaked file supposedly showed the future plans of the software giant for its game console. However the file was quickly removed through the efforts of the lawyers of the company.

In connection to the recent job posting linked to the new Xbox the company indicated that it is constantly looking for individuals with the talent to make innovations for its products although it has remained mum on the recently removed job posting on its Careers Website.

Survey Shows iPhone 5 More Popular Than iPad Mini

iPhone 5

CouponCodes4u conducted a survey recently to find out which of the two still-unannounced Apple products is more popular. The results may not surprise some industry watchers since the upcoming iPhone 5 was the more desirable device compared to the iPad Mini.

The survey showed that the iPhone 5 will become the foremost product of Apple in terms of sales despite the fact that the company has not yet officially confirmed their existence. The margin between the iPhone 5 and the iPad Mini was reportedly wide in the survey that included 1,900 individuals.

Around 78 percent of the participants opted for the iPhone 5 with a number of the respondents indicating that the smartphone will be more useful for them. Some of the respondents even raised some questions on the usefulness of the upcoming iPad Mini.

Although the iPhone has being considered as a luxury item, it has been a rather successful product offering of Apple. This is due to the fact that a smartphone is a rather useful device for most if not all owners of the device. It is without a doubt that the iPhone 5 and the iPad Mini will become successful after they are finally released into the market in the coming month as what recent reports have hinted.

However it should be taken into consideration that the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini survey is not a true cross-section of all consumers in the market since over 75 percent of the survey participants already own a product from Apple while 64 percent reportedly own an iPhone. Around 40 percent of the respondents of the survey already have an iPad.

Although the iPhone 5 was considered to be the most desirable Apple product in the recent survey around 21 percent have indicated that they are thinking of giving their children an iPad Mini.
