IOS 8.0.2 is out

IOS_8_logo

Apple released an update for IOS 8 that was supposed to fix some issues, instead two new serious problems were created. Not long after, Apple released another update to fix the first update’s problems including Finger scan and mobile network problems. Now while I agree that Apple made a huge disappointment, the problem was handled fast and I can confirm that it is indeed fixed as I personally tested it on my iPhone 5S. Reports allover the web confirm the same thing as well.

I really hope that Apple take testing more seriously as another major screw u like this will send the company backwards. Never the less, this is not the first time that a big corp release a faulty update, nor will this be the last time. At least the problem was fixed quickly and everything should now be in the correct working order.

I understand the disappointment of people who do business by phone as they are effected the most but like I said, at least IOS 8.0.2 came out quickly.

IOS 7 Jailbreak is here, BUT

evasi0n

The not so long awaited IOS 7 jailbreak is here, but reports all over the web are pointing out that it may be sending user data to some site. The full story can be found on http://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/1th41e/evasi0n7_update_thread_answers_to_what_the_heck/

I personal will hold off for a few days until the storm blows and everything will be visible. The need for Jailbreak is becoming less with every IOS update but not completely out as there are tons of addons that not only enhance the visuals but make the life of an iPhone owner easier.

Using iPhone without cover

The recent IOS7 redesign made me remove the much needed cover exposing my iPhone 4s to danger but damn, the design is beautiful and with the new them it looks sweeter than ever. Of course the this may also be due that my phone upgrade is soon so I’m not that worried about it although I will likely get HTC One.

IOS 7 impressions

 IOS 7 finally arrived and while it took some time to download and install due to servers overload I must say the wait was worth it. First of all, the design while in some areas not so great is amazing. The IOS needed change and what better way than a full makeover? Now I know pretty colors don’t make a great OS but the new IOS got some important under the hood improvements. The best thing is the new multitask preview as you can now go to the app switcher and it will show whats going on in each app. Beware, this drains the battery faster than anything you ever seen, thankfully an option to turn this off is there.

The new OS runs slower on old hardware, in my case the iPhone 4s but still usable and while not all new features are available on old hardware it is still enough to upgrade. One last thing, please keep in mind that IOS 7 while great is still no Android so don’t expect extreme freedom as Apple is still unlocking things, step by step.

A Jailbreak may or may not come but so far things are looking good and hopefully soon we wont need to Jailbreak.

iPhone 5s

 

iphone 5s

The updated version of last years iPhone 5 is here. As always, faster, new Camera app, a new Gold color in addition to the Black and White and the first iPhone to carry the 64 bit processor. From outside, the model remains unchanged from iPhone 5. The upgrades are mostly under the hood and via features.

But the most awaited feature was the Fingerprint scanning ID. The iPhone now unlocks via scanning your fingerprint although I’m not sure if this new method is faster than the simple pass code but that remains to be tested.

The new camera  app adds some interesting features such as Burst mode where you take up to 10 shot per second, better flash handling (works hand in hand with the new improved flash sensor) and a slow motion video playback to name a few. Of course the possibilities for 3rd party apps are endless.

Of course its IOS 7 read, and three casings available from apple although they are not as good as the iPhone 5c ones.

This is the updated version of iPhone’s 5, and it dose a good job at updating unlikely last years model which didn’t bring anything new to the table. I know I will be upgrading soon.

iPhone 5c is here!

iPhone 5cThe wait is over, the long rumored cheaper plastic model also known as iPhone 5c is here.

To my surprise, Apple handled this far better than the iPad mini which is basically a smaller iPad 2.

Skipping all the boring stuff, here are some points every one understands:

• Comes in five different colors

• Six different cases made by Apple

• Home screen matches the actual color of the outside casing (Same color as the iPhone)

•  A6 chip (Faster than iPhone 4s)

• Improved8 Megapixel Camera

• New Camera App

• IOS 7 Ready

My Take on this: Honestly, surprised. This model is basically an improved iPhone 5 which is surprising, and shocking in a good way considering it was made for the less privileged. Starting at $100 per contract is a good deal as well. 

Will cover more as information becomes available or the phone itself for testing.
