iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S - Shutdown & Bootup

In this video, I compare the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 4S in terms of shutdown and bootup speeds. The iPhone 5 is, not surprisingly, faster in both of these tests, but not tremendously.

Earpods?

In line with the launch of the iPhone 5, Apple introduces a new uniquely designed earphones, called Earpods.

Same as the previous Apple Earphones, the Apple Earpods have a built-in microphone. 

I believe they'll be including this earphones with the next iPhones to come. And as always, Apple will allow you to buy this seperately by a cost, I'm guessing, still $29 or more.

I personally love the design itself, but the performance? Though it's looks are looking awesome, Apple won't let the audio quality out of mind of course.

To talk more about the design, I personally think it looks.. "futuristic" looking. I love it actually.

In the pictures, you'll observe that Apple still keeps the clean and sexy look of the earphones, but you'll see that the hole, where the sound comes out to your ears, are smaller, and vertical. I don't know why, but It makes the earphone more unique and better looking.. and different.

This is Apple's Official Line of the product: 

The Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic are designed to rest comfortably inside -- and stay inside -- a variety of ear types. The audio quality is so superior, they rival high-end headphones that cost hundreds of dollars more. And you can use the improved remote to adjust volume, control music and video playback, and answer or end calls on your iPhone.

For more information about the Earpods, you can check out Apple's website itself.

New Kindle Fire, iPad Mini & Sept 12th Event

It's no secret that I've been a fan of 7" tablets for quite some time. With the introduction of the Kindle Fire 2 & Kindle Fire HD yesterday, I think it is time for Apple to accept the competition and release an iPad Mini. Will this happen on Sept. 12th?



What are your thoughts on this subject? I think that with the Nexus 7, especially, Apple has some serious competition at nearly $300 cheaper. An inexpensive, shrunken iPad would do extremely well. Countless customers at Best Buy come to me saying they want an iPad but they don't want to pay $499 for a larger screen. An ultraportable tablet is just what Apple needs!

Thanks for watching/subscribing/rating/commenting! You guys just ROCK!

My iPhone 5 Predictions

About 5 or 6 months before every iPhone release, there is always a ton of iPhone rumors and leaks going around, most of which are bogus. But just because most of them are bogus, doesn't mean we can't have a bit of fun, right? In this article I'll share what upgrades I think will be put on the next generation iPhone coming later this year.

#1. 4G LTE

I think it is incredibly obvious that the next iPhone will include 4G LTE compatibilities considering the 3rd generation iPad has 4G LTE capabilities built in. I'm not even going to explain myself on this one, it's just too obvious, but then again you never know with Apple. One thing is for sure though, the battery is definitely going to need to be upgraded.

#2. Upgraded Processor

I also think it is quite obvious that the processor in the next generation iPhone will be updated. However I still can't decide whether I think the next iPhone processor will be the Apple A5X or a new A6 processor. Oh the possibilities...

#3. Bigger Screen

I really hope there is a bigger screen coming to the iPhone. It would improve the experience so much! Sadly, I don't know if Apple is up to the hassle of rebuilding all of there apps and iOS, as well as getting all of the developers to redevelop their apps.

#4. Better Battery

The iPhone needs a new battery. Period.

#5. A Redesign

If Apple follows their usual upgrade pattern, the next iPhone should look different. I usually predict the redesign closer tot he estimated announce date, but all I can say is, curvy edge unibody design.

Well ,that's it for this article. I hope you enjoyed it! Please leave a comment of drop me a line on YouTube or Tweet me on Twitter to tell me how I did.
