The much talked about iPhone6 seven key features that iPhone six will have. Just a few. 1. A bigger iPhone
As phones trend towards "phablet" sizes somewhere between the average smartphone and a tablet, Apple is expected to try and compete with the Galaxy models by releasing an iPhone 6 with a 4.7-inch display and an even larger 5.5-inch display. Different reports, however, suggest the larger model, a full 1.5 inches bigger than the iPhone 5C and 5S, may not be released or even announced until December.

2. A faster processor and "improved" battery life
The iPhone 5C, which replaced the iPhone 5, has an A6 processor, and the iPhone 5S has a twice-as-fast A7 processor. So if history's any indicator, the iPhone 6 will have a faster A8 processor. Apple also claims every model has improved battery life, so similar boasts are expected this year -- though it's hard to imagine happening if the phone is bigger and faster.

3. A better camera
The iPhone 5, 5C and 5S had 8.0 megapixel iSight cameras, but experts predict the iPhone 6 will have a 13.0 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization for taking better photos and video while moving. According to Forbes, Apple has improved its camera lenses in recent models to prepare for the higher resolution, which will likely stick around for the next few models.

4. iOS 8
Pretty much every new iPhone or iPad comes with a new operating system, and Apple unveiled iOS 8 in June with an expected fall release date. The most buzzed-about features include a HealthKit app with users' medical information, vital signs and diet/fitness monitoring; CarPlay, for in-car functionality; a HomeKit app that can be a remote control for "smart" household appliances (like an AppleTV); and "QuickType," a SwiftKey-like text assistant that helps users finish sentences rather than just offer correct spelling.

5. At least one rumored product won't be included
Will the iPhone 6 have a NFC (near field communication) chip that allows users to make purchases with their smartphone, like a credit card? Will a long-rumored "iWatch" actually happen, joining the new craze of smartwatches and wearable devices? Will Sapphire glass displays replace Corning's famed Gorilla Glass design? And are new headphones coming out, replacing its Beats-compatible headphone jacks with a Lightning port? The tech giant could do all of those, but expect at least one of those to be left out.To read more go to.

Also iOS 8′s 

Since this year’s WWDC keynote ended, the focus of any analysis on iOS 8 has been itsfeatures — things like Continuity, Extensions, and iCloud Drive. This is, of course, expected: iOS is the operating system that drives Apple’s most important (and most profitable) products, so it’s natural that the limelight be shone on the new features for the mass market.

Also don't forget the much talked about iWatch

If it feels like the promise of an Apple smartwatch has been looming forever, that's because it has. And its shadow helped birth the army of other smartwatches that we have today. But now, finally, the near mythical iWatch is rumored to arrive very soon. Here's what we think we know.

What's it called?

Colloquially, Apple's upcoming watch has been referred to as an iWatch, though there's not evidence that this might be its name outside of it following Apple naming conventions. Information about the size of its screen and the bevy of health features it will include suggest it might be actually be more of a "health bangle" anyway. Apple has acquired the trademark to "iWatch" in a number of countries, though that's pretty soft evidence.

The Apple iPhone 3

The outlines of the iphone3 can be seen as the partly black and partly white. But the model can also be totally white or black. The iphone3 is much lighter than other phones of its time.

The iphone3 was the most exciting and hyped launch by  Apple. Around 2008. Due to the excellent marketing system and promoting the product apple was able to increase the craze for the iphone3. The iphone3 was the biggest point of discussion during the summer. The camera of the iphone3 was excellent and the iTunes was awesome. There was no noise coming I the new iphone3 as was in the other models of the iphone2. The battery of the iphone3 has a long live and the users can easily enjoy the entraining apparatus of the products. The picture taken by the iphone3 is very clear and is comparable to the taken by the digital cameras at that time . The size of the iphone3 was good for handling and can be easily carried over a long distance. Thus the iphone3 was a good entrainment goody for the long travels. The iphone3 is extremely thin and can be easily kept in the pocket. The thin size of the iphone3 makes it to fit any pocket of your jeans. The iphone3 has eye catching hardware and very easy handling operating system. But sometimes the gadget becomes too slow and very small tasks like message sending takes a long time. But the multi tasking options provided by the iphone3 cannot match the other gadgets.

The outlines of the iphone3 can be seen as the partly black and partly white. But the model can also be totally white or black. The iphone3 is much lighter than the other gadgets launch by the apple. The iphone3 is lighter and easy to carry. The design of the iphone3 is innovated from the Mac Book air so the arc present on the back of the apparatus makes it look beautiful. The head phone connector which was an irritating problem has been removed by introducing a3.5 mm jack who is universal in nature. The headphone is designed based on the cell phone that makes use of different headphones possible. The network of the iphone3 has been improved. The earlier models of the iphone3 did not support the 3G network but the new I phone3 supports the 3G network thus making it faster and smarter. The iphone3 can support the network of 3.5G and it also supports both the CDMA and HSDPA networks. There are many in built in functions that are incorporates in the new iphone3. This includes the GPS system which helps the mobile navigation and helps to find the location. The GPS provides all the necessary options of any geographical area. The new iphone3 can record all the longitudes and latitudes. The screen of the GPS is god and it is easy to handle.

Apple iPhone 6 release date: 7 things to expect at reported Sept. 9event

Related roundups: iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6When is the Apple iPhone 6 coming out? A release date is expected soon, and a new Re/code report claims the secretive tech company will announce its next-generation iPhone at a Sept. 9 event.
CNET points out Apple has introduced a new iPhone every year since the late Steve Jobs unveiled the first in 2007. New iPhones have launched in September since 2011, despite previous rumors a new device would be unveiled at the WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) in June.
Apple has yet to comment on the rumored event, nor has it said what its next product will be or if it will be named the iPhone 6 (or something else).
But a Sept. 9 press event lines up with a reportedSept. 19 release date, allegedly leaked by employees at German carrier Deutsche Telekom earlier this year. In past years, Apple has announced a new product on a Tuesday (which Sept. 9 is) and then releases it stores the following week on Friday (Sept. 19).
And Forbes notes that Apple's revenue guidance for the quarter ending Sept. 27 is $37 to $40 billion. To reach the higher end, which would be a 7 percent increase from last year's same quarter, the company would need to ship at least one new iPhone model by mid-September.
Either way, something's coming soon, and here are 7 things Apple fans can expect:
1. A bigger iPhone
As phones trend towards "phablet" sizes somewhere between the average smartphone and a tablet, Apple is expected to try and compete with the Galaxy models by releasing an iPhone 6 with a 4.7-inch display and an even larger 5.5-inch display. Different reports, however, suggest the larger model, a full 1.5 inches bigger than the iPhone 5C and 5S, may not be released or even announced until December.
2. A faster processor and "improved" battery life
The iPhone 5C, which replaced the iPhone 5, has an A6 processor, and the iPhone 5S has a twice-as-fast A7 processor. So if history's any indicator, the iPhone 6 will have a faster A8 processor. Apple also claims every model has improved battery life, so similar boasts are expected this year -- though it's hard to imagine happening if the phone is bigger and faster.
3. A better camera

And are new headphones coming out, replacing its Beats-compatible headphone jacks with a Lightning port? The tech giant could do all of those, but expect at least one of those to be left out.
6. Old iPhones will get cheaper
Apple typically keeps the previous iPhone models around for a year with a significant price drop. If the iPhone 5S and the already cheaper iPhone 5C remain available for the next year, upcoming holiday shoppers on a budget could have several options besides the likely pricey iPhone 6.
» Blinged-out iPhone 6 already on sale
7. Gripes from gadget geeks
Yes, the QuickType feature is a facsimile of SwiftKey. Yes, Android and Windows Phone users will point out their smartphones already have better cameras or bigger screens. And no, there's no way Apple can meet all of its fans' wildest hopes and dreams. Criticism is inevitable but, while iPad sales faltered in the last quarter, the iPhone continues to be an industry measuring stick and a top-selling device that inspires large lines on its release dates.
What do you think? Will you get a new iPhone when it comes out?

If it feels like the promise of an Apple smartwatch has been looming forever, that's because it has. And its shadow helped birth the army of other smartwatches that we have today. But now, finally, the near mythical iWatch is rumored to arrive very soon. Here's what we think we know.

What's it called?

Colloquially, Apple's upcoming watch has been referred to as an iWatch, though there's not evidence that this might be its name outside of it following Apple naming conventions. Information about the size of its screen and the bevy of health features it will include suggest it might be actually be more of a "health bangle" anyway. Apple has acquired the trademark to "iWatch" in a number of countries, though that's pretty soft evidence.

Apple has filed patents for a wearable device with swappable screen modules that makes a reference to something called iTime, so that's a possibility as well, though Apple would probably be wiser than to blow the real name in a patent.

iTime: Smartwatch Patent Shows Apple's Broad Ambitions

This morning the folks over at AppleInsider discovered that Apple was granted a patent today for…Read more

For our purposes, we're going to keep calling it the iWatch and hope that Apple has something more clever up its, er, sleeve.

Design

One of the big (rumored) differentiators for the iWatch is design. That is to say, the iWatch is supposed to look good, unlike most of the other, grosser-looking options that are available right now. (Excluding the Pebble Steel and the Moto 360, of course.)

Evidence of this is backed up by a number of hires that Apple has made in the past few years. Hires like former CEO of Yves Saint Laurent Paul Deneve and Senior VP of Retail Angela Ahrendts, who helped revitalize Burberry as CEO without abandoning its heritage. We're talking legit fashion people, as opposed to tech people with an eye for pretty things.

What will all those expensive salaries come up with though? That's a much bigger question. We've seen concepts left and right, and although some of them look nice, none of them quite has that Apple flair. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of information on what the iWatch will look like. No physical leaks of any sort. In a broader sense that iTime might offer some clues, as it shows a watch-type band with modules that can snap in and out. It's similar to the WIMM One from WIMM Labs, a recent Google acquisition.

These sketches are broad, though, as patent sketches are, and it's meant to cover functionality not design, so it's of little help. Not to mention that patents aren't necessarily indicative of actual products; companies patent things all the time with no intention of ever actually making them. A slightly more substantial and interesting pair of reports came from Reuters and the Wall Street Journal, suggesting respectively that the iWatch could have a 2.5-inch screen, and that it might come in different sizes.

A 2.5-inch screen for a traditionally-shaped watch is nuts. The clunky Galaxy Gear clocked in at a mere 1.63-inches. So if the 2.5 inch screen rumor is true, it suggests something either more like a curved bracelet, or a giant hunk of Apple on your wrist. What does seem like a sure thing is that the iWatch will have an unscratchable sapphire glass watchface, due to recent evidence that Apple is producing "jewelry-grade" slices of the stuff. But other than that, the options are still pretty excitingly open.

Apple IOS 2.0

Apple iOS 2.0

The biggest news about iOS 2.0 was the App Store.  Released on July 11th, 2008, the App Store and iOS 2.0’s support for third-party apps gave users access to thousands of apps created by developers. Supported by iTunes and Apple’s carefully crafted ecosystem, the App Store pushed the iPhone years ahead of the competition by providing limitless possibilities on the iPhone. Pretty soon everyone was hearing the catch phrase, “There’s an App for that.”

 To make room for all the new app icons on the Springboard, Apple introduced homescreen pages. Other notable features that appeared in iOS 2.0 were the ability to open MS Office docs, a Contacts icon, ability to take screen captures, ability to save photos in Safari to the Photos app, parental controls, Genius playlist creation, and the addition of emoji. Push email was also brought to the iPhone via iOS 2.0.

Apple has released firmware OS software update version 2.0 for original first generation of iPhone (iPhone 3G has firmware v2.0 by default) and iPod Touch (unfortunately iPod Touch users will have to buy the iPhone OS 2.0 via iTunes). TheiPhone 2.0 software main feature is to enable the access to App Store with lots of native applications and games from the Apple cellphone or portable multimedia mobile device via Wi-Fi or cellular network.

The iPhone OS 2.0 also has tons of other improvements and enhancements. Some of the highlighted features are support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to provide over-the-air push email, contact and calendar syncing as well as remote wipe and Cisco IPsec VPN for encrypted access to corporate networks. Other features include real-time mapping, GPS tracking, geotagging, mass move mails, mass delete multiple email messages, search for contacts, access a new scientific calculator, turn on parental control restrictions for specified content, PowerPoint format viewing support, iWork format viewing support, direct screenshot capturing, MobileMe support, save images directly from a web page or email them to youriPhone and easily transfer them back to your photo library on your Mac or PC.

To apply and upgrade to iPhone OS 2.0 firmware, user are required to download and install iTunes 7.7or newer from Apple.com.

Then connect the iPhone or iPod Touch to the computer, and then in iTunes, and click on Check for Updates button. If updates available (in this case it sure does), then click the Update button to upgrade to firmware v2.0.

However, unlike previous upgrade where settings and media are maintained, do note that upgrade from version 1.x of iPhone software to version 2.0 or later, all data will be deleted and erased in order to install the new software, as pointed out in Apple article. However, iTunes will offer to create a one-time media backup of the device depending on what content is on the device and what content is stored in the iTunes Library the device are connected to. User should ensure that enough free space is available on Mac or PC to accommodate a backup that matches the capacity of the iPhone or iPod touch (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB).

Apple Expected to Announce iPhone 6 in Early September, With Launch Later in the Month

Rumors and past release date info have thus far pointed towards a September launch date for the iPhone 6, which has now been confirmed by a reliable source that spoke to MacRumors. 
Mass shipments of the iPhone 6 from China to the United States are expected to occur during the last two weeks of August and it is likely that Apple will announce the iPhone 6 during the first or second weeks of September. The first deliveries of the device will come later in the month on a corresponding Friday, roughly a week and a half after the event. 


iPhone 6 render by Tomas Moyano and Nicolas Aichino
An early September event is in line with previous rumors and with the event dates of the last two iPhone generations. The iPhone 5 was announced on Wednesday, September 12 with availability occurring on September 21 and the iPhone 5s/5c was announced onTuesday, September 10 with availability starting on September 20. 

It remains unknown if the September iPhone 6 event will include just the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 or both the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch variations. Early rumors pointed towards production issues that might delay the launch of the larger phone, but those problems appear to be solved and a recent rumor from Bloomberg has suggested both devices could launch at the same time. 

A report from earlier today pointed towards a September 25 launch date for the iPhone 6, but Apple typically releases the iPhone on a Friday, making this prediction unlikely. September 12, 19, and 26 are all probable launch dates for the iPhone 6, based on production speed and available inventory. 

Apple's iPhone 6 is expected to include a larger display size along with a thinner iPod-touch style design, an A8 processor, and camera improvements. The 5.5-inch iPhone has thus far been positioned as the premium version and may include upgrades like optical image stabilization and a larger storage capacity, with a $100 price premium.

The Apple iPhone 2G

The Apple iPhone 2G

 So back on January 9th 2007 Steve Jobs announced the very first Apple iPhone to which a 4GB would cost $499 (£312) and 8GB for $599 (£374). These went on sale in the US on June 29 2007 then to the rest of the world a few months later. It was to become the start of a new era of mobile phones. Funnily enough I had to look up the actual official name given to this phone as I thought it was just called the iPhone Original. The iPhone2G is one of the first (if not the first) cell phone to fully incorporate most of its functions using a multi-touch screen. It only carries one main external button, and advanced motion features, including an 3-axis accelerometer, and changes according to its position. Having a very slim figure, it has the access to install games and other apps through iTunes, and incorporates an iPod. 
Background Info / Highlights

• Release Date: June 29, 2007
• Features many advanced features, such as a touchscreen, iPod, web browser, and apps.
• Can be synced through iTunes, which gives very easy access to constant updates and bug fixes, as well as the convience to sync music, podcasts, movies, and apps.
• It was ranked a revolutionary phone
• It is only offered by AT&T 
• With the latest iPhone and iTunes update, you now have access to the iTunes app store. Apps can be any type of applications for your iPhone, including games.

Though a lot of the apps on iTunes are free, the rest cost money. There isn’t much to review in the category, as each app has its own reviews on iTunes, however I must say that I think the iPhone runs games and apps very well, and they load up almost instantly. A lot of people are claiming that the iPhone is as good as a Nintendo DS or PSP, if not better, which I agree on. You can also download them directly from your iPhone.

Other than that, there is not another official way to download apps on to your iPhone, however you can ‘Jailbreak’ it. Jailbreaking an iPhone basically allows it to be exploited for unofficial third-party games, or other modifications. Although it may sound tempting, as it can even unlock your iPhone for another wireless service, I don’t see any reason to use it other than that.

The Apple iPhone 2G was a great phone. But was not ready for those who are blind or visually impaired.At the top goodnufyou can see the stylish (at the time) Apple iPhone 2G in all its glory.
