What Would the New Apple iPhone 5 Be Like?

By Unknown
apple iphone 5 the new design
Apple has become the most valued company in the history of business with a valuation of 624 billion US dollars. At this time, its most prestigious and most revenue-generating product, the Apple iPhone is also expected to get a new facelift. Reports and tweets are flying all around us with comments and speculations about the new iPhone.

There are leaked photos of iPhone 5 that show a screen much larger than the current 3.5 inch belonging to 4S. The new phones that are expected to be released within a month’s time include the new iPhone as well as Samsung’s highly popular Galaxy Note’s second version, Galaxy Note 2 (expected release date: Aug 29). iPhone is expected to be released in September (most of the rumors indicate possible unveiling on or before 21st).

In terms of device hardware, iPhone 5 will have excellent features. Expected ones include larger, thinner display with immensely higher resolution; possible support for NFC (Near Field Communication technology); support for 4G LTE; possible support for nano-SIM technology; quad-core processor among others.

The presence of NFC, however, is not confirmed. UK’s the Independent daily reported that the iPhone 5 probably won’t be released with NFC capability. The newspaper tells that Apple is concerned about the lack of a common standard in the industry about NFC. And they are planning to release a mobile payment system of their own (probably a standard for Apple devices alone).

Anyway, all of these are rumors, and we will get to know the truth only when the actual device gets released within a few days.

Let’s look at some of the leaked photos and concept designs of the new iPhone found in various websites out there…

10 Worst Android Antivirus Apps You Can Get

By VJ
Are you careful about the security of your smartphone? For your Android device, Google Play store offers a number of antivirus apps. There are paid and free apps from professional companies like Avast!, Kaspersky, and Lookout, as well as free antivirus apps that install and work relatively faster. Among the security apps found on the Play Store, there are a number of free, lightweight ones, most of which enjoy a great number of downloads and high ratings. Most of the ratings are done by people who find the interface easy to use, but have no idea whether the app actually works or not. Many of us feel the app is great if the interface is cool, don’t we? It is painful to note that most of these free apps not only fail at most antivirus tests, but experts regard them to be incapable of detecting any threat. Last year, the latest mobile antivirus test report was published by AV-Test.org , in which they tested and rated the best and the worst antivirus programs among multiple platforms. ...

Why Apple’s Retina Display No Longer Matters?

By VJ
Apple trademarked Retina Display in Nov, 2012. Retina Display is one of the major attractions of Apple’s top products. Introduced with the iPhone 4, during Steve Jobs’s reign, it sure sold quite a number of iPhones in two years. At this time, however, is Retina Display still relevant? Should Apple be actively marketing this feature at all? Let’s see. What Exactly Is It? Retina Display or any display at that matter has a particular ppi ratio (Pixels Per Inch). [ Learn about pixels ]. If, on a display panel, there are more than a fixed number of pixels in every inch, that display will be rich enough to avoid the pixelation issue given by older, low pixel-density devices. If you can see individual pixels, such a display looks rather dull. Look at this image below. One of half of the Apple logo is pixelated, and you can see the difference. Creating too many pixels and cramming them up within a display is a very expensive job. This is the reason why mainstream smartphone manufacture...
