What I Would Like to See Apple Introduce in 2012

2012 is said to be a "Big year" for technology, especially Apple. There are certainly lot's of rumors floating around the web. In this article, I am going to have my say on what I'd like to see Apple introduce this year (2012).

1. - Apple HDTV:

One of the biggest rumors of this year is that Apple is to announce an all new Apple HDTV. Some sources say that it will be exceptionally thin, come in at least 3 different sizes which I think will be 32", 46" and 55" displays. I also think that it will come with many feature's that the Apple TV box set has.

2. - iPad 3:

It is very likely Apple will introduce the much-hyped iPad 3 in the next 2 or so months ahead. There are rumors floating about, claiming that the iPad 3 will have an all new Retina Display, better cameras, A6 Processor and for the tablet to be both thinner and lighter.  

3. - iPhone 5:


 The world was expecting to see the iPhone 5 in 2011, but sadly that wasn't to be. So, surely there must be an iPhone 5 this year, right? Many sources claim that the iPhone 5 will have a larger 4.0" screen, which will be greatly welcomed. Others say the Apple A6 Processor will be packed into iPhone 5. People also say the iPhone 5 be significantly thinner and lighter. Fingers crossed we will see an all new redesigned Apple iPhone 5 this year.

4. - 15" MacBook Air:

To accompany the 11" and the 13" MacBook Air, sources say that Apple is at testing stage with a brand-new 15" MacBook Air, which is said to have an Ivy bridge Processor packed inside. Personally, I would like to see a higher resolution FaceTime HD Camera on the front as the current FaceTime Camera on the MacBook Air is horrible. I think the price for the 15" MacBook Air will be around the £1500 mark, but that is just a guess. I think if Apple were to introduce this machine into the Mac family, it would be one of their best selling products.

So, that's what I would like to see Apple introduce this year, what do you think Apple will introduce this year? Leave them in the comments section below.

Enable iOS 5 Hidden Autocorrection Keyboard

Sonny Dickson uncovered a way to enable a hidden auto correction bar for your keyboard similar to many Android phones. It's super easy if you are jailbroken and have iFile, but it can also be done fairly simply with iBackupBot. As you can see in the video, it's pretty nice, but it changes the way the spacebar works somewhat which might make your typing slower. This is an iOS 5 hidden feature and will work with iPhones, iPads and iPods. The video shows how it works and how to turn this on with iFile. If you aren't jailbroken download iBackupBot here. Backup your iPhone, iPad or iPod in iTunes. Open iBackupBot and load the backup you just made. Navigate to var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboard.plist and open the file (just hit cancel and it will open). Add these two HTML tags right above the </dict> tag.

<key>KeyboardAutocorrectionLists</key><string>YES</string>

Save and use iBackupBot to restore from backup. Anyone thinking they might use this?

iOS 5 Semi Tethered Jailbreak

Quick state of the jailbreak. There is no iOS 5 jailbreak for the iPad 2 or iPhone 4S. However, for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G you can use Redsn0w. This is a tethered jailbreak which I don't recommned, but once done you can add Semi Tether from the Big Boss source to make it semi tethered. This means if your iPhone reboots the only items that will not work are Cydia and Safari. This isn't a huge deal to live without until you can get to a computer and re-jailbreak with Redsn0w to make everything work again. I decided to take my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3.1 to 5.0 and jailbreak this afternoon.
