iPhone 5 – a Dull Piece of News?

There can be no doubt that Apple knows all about marketing. The presentation video for iPhone 5 on Apple’s Start page gives me an intimate family feeling, as if it were my own dad telling me that the only thing one needs is an iPhone 5. The very well reasoned and pedagogical monologues, backed up by some kind of fabulous music, makes me – in a slightly absurd kind of way – want to be part of Apple’s attractive family.

On the other hand, when I looked more closely at what is actually new on the iPhone 5, I started to feel disappointment. The handset has become slightly thinner as well as longer; this means that it has been given a larger display which I see as one of the few, but rather lackluster, new features. iPhone 5 is equipped with a better processor and 1 GB RAM memory and is said to be twice as fast as its predecessor.

The new camera has a lens cover made of sapphire glass; Apple, however, has decided to retain the quality of the image resolution at 8 megapixels. The fact that the charger has also been changed gives the impression of it being sneaked in glibly as ‘something revolutionary’. However, I see this, as do others I have discussed this with, as a slightly dishonest move with which it can make more money e.g. through sales of car adapters etc.

To me, the iPhone 5 does not seem to be charismatic at all. In fact, I grew almost as disappointed with this handset as when I discovered that it was the iPhone 4s which was to be released when I was looking forward to the iPhone 5. It appears to me as if the iPhone 5 were some kind of iPhone 4s Mark 2! Moreover, Apple has not tied the release to anything ground-breaking this time, as was the launch of Siri in connection with 4s.

There is a lot of discussion about BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) at present in the corporate context. From a company viewpoint, I would point out that the iPhone 5 will not be a trailblazer. The functions are the same as on the 4s, so that for companies it makes no real difference. If one has a business that works a lot with Mac computers it obviously makes sense if all employees have an iPhone, for the sake of proper co-ordination. But to claim that the iPhone 5 would optimize this process in any way would be a lie.

Being the Apple freak that I am, it goes against the grain to acknowledge that the iPhone 5 is rather uninspiring. Personally, I shall retain my Galaxy S3 for a bit longer; whether or not the iPhone 5 comes into the reckoning remains to be seen. The only way that…

Benefits And Limitations of iPhone Apps Development

iPhone decided to delete all contacts

The iPhone has reached the heights of fame post the launch of iPhone 5 and iOS 6. Even users with iPhone 4 have started upgrading their operating system to iOS 6 for their iPhone to be in sync with the technology. The latest iOS, iOS 6 comes loaded with more than two hundred new features which makes it the most famous software upgrade for iPhone. There are many companies emerging in the market who have hired experienced and expert professionals to offer expert iPhone app development services.

The popularity of iPhone has coerced many programmers and iPhone developers to create a number of applications. iPhone dominates the smartphone market. More than six million iPhone devices have been sold and its sales figures are going on increasing. iPhone opens up many doors of opportunities to market your application idea to millions of users worldwide. iPhone application development becomes an easy process with the help of Software Development Kit or SDK, which is available for download. Any developer can create and market the applications developed by him or her on the Apple Application Store. SDK comes packed with all the tools required for iPhone apps development. You can hire services of different companies to transform your idea into an application.

iPhone applications are used by iPhone owners for a number of purposes such as performing business tasks, surfing the net, access documents or to have fun by playing games. It goes beyond calling and messaging. Due to the plethora of benefits offered by iPhone, it has become one of the favorite platforms for applications development.

Despite the tools provided for easing iPhone apps development, Apple has laid down certain rules for the development and running of applications. The main rule applied by Apple is that users cannot run two applications simultaneously even if both the applications are imperative. For instance, if you are working with one application and you need some information from other application then you should first close the first application and then only you can access the other application.

In iPhone, you cannot run third party applications in the back ground. This implies that if you are chatting with your friend using an application and at the same time you receive a call then you will be disconnected and will be unable to chat once you pick up the call.

One important thing about iPhone application development is that if an iPhone app developer has designed an application meant to be run on iOS6 then he has to put in some extra efforts to ensure that the same application works well on all previous versions of iPhone without any application crash.

Even though iPhone has its own limitations, these shortcomings have not influenced the sales figures of this smartphone king. With iPhone leading the smartphone market, the number of iPhone applications has reached approximately 700,000 available over the net. It can be concluded that the benefits offered by iPhone surpass the limitations imposed by Apple.

Five Map Apps You Can Try for Your iPhone Instead of Apple Maps

Apple CEO Tim Cook has published an open letter to all of those who decided to sell used iPhone to get an iPhone 5 and was disappointed to find out the Maps app didn’t even recognize the street he or she lives in. After hundreds of tech news that went up to lambast the company last week, the CEO has finally spoken up to quell the building frustration amongst their valued customers.

Mr. Cook posted an apology letter for all those affected by the iOS 6 Maps mishaps on Apple’s blog entitled “A Letter from Tim Cook on Maps”. The CEO pointed out that the company’s goal was to offer new maps features like turn-by-turn directions, voice integration and vector-based maps. However, since Google Maps could (or would?!) not provide the said features, the company decided to create their own Maps app from scratch which turned out to be, for lack of a better word, disastrous.

The roads were zigzagged (even when they’re not supposed to be), locations were grossly wrong, street sign names were changed and a lot more problems roused Tim Cook to finally apologize and prescribe other Maps applications that iPhone 5 users could use before they decide to sell iPhone back to its makers.

Organize Your iPhone Applications

Page after page of icons, don’t be another victim of messy home-screen syndrome, learn about the best iPhone apps organizer. Find out how to gracefully organize your apps and turn your home-screen into an enjoyable sight. This article will review both App Store apps and Cydia apps.

Messy Icons

If you are reading this article, you are probably in dire need of an iPhone apps organizer. Maybe your iPhone home-screen looks like a jungle, or even worse — your kids playroom! If this is the case, you should consider an iPhone apps organizer to help keep your home-screen organized and tidy.

There are several different options for organizing your top iPhone apps. Some of the best options for organization are not in the App Store, they are in Cydia, available to jailbroken iPhone users. There are one or two options in the App Store, however, they have very limited functionality in terms of organization.

The App Store Way

There are truly not many options for organizing apps with App Store applications. This may be due to the restrictions of Apple or the limited market potential. There is currently one app, which stands out slightly more than the competition.

AppButler

AppButler claims to be the first app for your apps. This may very well be true in terms of the first app, in the App Store. Long before AppButler there were several iPhone apps organizer applications in Cydia. AppButler actually offers a decent amount of flexibility and control over app organization.

The functionality is equivalent to that of most iPhone apps organizer apps found in Cydia for jailbroken users. It is possible to categorize apps by page, category and more. You can use pre-made category icons or set custom icons from the camera roll. Using AppButler will make it possible to arrange your apps in an incredibly creative and unique way. AppButler can be found in the iTunes App Store for $0.99. (Download Here)

App Organization Cydia Style

iPhone apps organizer apps are very common in Cydia. There are several tools, both old and new, which make it quite easy to customize and organize your iPhone home-screen. There are many different tools including an iPhone apps organizer which allows you to place your apps into folders.

SBOrganizer

One of the original iPhone apps organizer tools, SBOrganizer allows you to do just about anything with your icons. Added support for iOS4 means SBOrganizer is not ready to become a thing of the past. Using this tool it is possible to reorder and reorganize apps directly on your iPhone, in just about any manner.

iOS4 folders are supported, meaning it is possible to move apps in and out of folders. Apps are quickly moved and reorganized and the app even supports alternate table row coloring. SBOrganizer is a great way to reorganize and reorder your apps, especially on iOS4. SBOrganizer can be found in the Big Boss Cydia Repo at a reasonable cost of $0.99.

AppFlow

More of an iPhone apps organizer alternative, AppFlow allows applications to be launched using cover flow style. Once you begin to use this app, you will quickly realize it is far superior to the home-screen method of launching apps.

You can customize the order of the apps, along with several other settings. Simply launch the AppFlow app (using one of many shortcut schemes, including shaking the iPhone) and scroll through your apps. Tap an app to launch it. AppFlow can be downloaded for free on Cydia from the ModMyi Repo.

Categories

Categories is yet another great iPhone apps organizer. This tool will allow you to arrange the iPhone apps into categories, similar to folders. Custom icons can be set and there are a great set of pre-made icons already included.

The app is very simple to use, contents of each category can be quickly rearranged and new apps can be added and removed with the touch of a finger. Using categories is a great way to tidy up your iPhone and find exactly what you are looking for.

Resources

Here are some great resources to help you on your organizing journey. These resources offer some more suggestions for organizing, as well as information related to Cydia to help you find the aforementioned iPhone apps organizer solutions.
