Upgrade to iOS 7 or Not – Choices That iPhone, iPad and iPod touch Users Face

Apple claims iOS 7 as “the world’s most advanced mobile OS”, is it just a boast or something real? Just as Apple has said, iOS 7 is designed to make it work more beautifully and create an experience that is simpler, more useful, and more enjoyable. It sounds attractive but needs practice test.

Indeed, there are a lot of great new features to love about iOS 7, the totally redesigned Multitasking app-switcher, the new lock screen, the revamped Notification Center, a super-charged Siri, a new and easily-accessed quick settings bar. Above all, all your favorite apps have been enhanced to make everything even easier to get access to and use. To some extent, iOS 7 is a rebirth of its software design and a rejuvenation of the core iOS experience.

All of the new features must be the reasons that people want to download and install iOS 7 Beta 2 to the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. However, there are some people who voice objections to update to iOS 7. Maybe they don’t love the look of the new iOS 7, or just because the OS is in beta with the unstable performance and some occasional bugs.

If you can’t live with the unfinished Safari icon, mind the parallax effect, or can’t bear the bugs of the beta version of iOS 7, such as the backup of iOS 7 device can’t be restored to iOS 6 device by iTunes, you’d better not update to iOS 7 Beta now, just wait until the September to enjoy the better experience of the improved iOS 7 when it is officially released and open to all.

According to the statistics shown in the Developer section of Apple official website, there are 94% of iOS users have upgraded iOS 6 till June 29^th, while, only 5% of iOS users stay in iOS 5, the remained 1% are users using versions below iOS 5. Those iOS 5 users who keep silent and do nothing while watching iOS 7 include two parts: iPod touch 4/3, iPhone 3GS, iPad 1 users, as well as iPad 2, iPhone 4S and Phone 4 users. For the first parts of iOS 5 devices users, they keep silent for the reason that their devices can’t have the chance to be upgraded to the latest iOS 7, for the latter part, they keep silent just because they know if they want to use various free third-party software programs and apps that Cydia provides, thay have to upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7, so why not directly upgrade to the latest iOS 7?

If you have already succeeded to upgrade to iOS 7 Beta 2, and find some data deleted from your device, you can use the comprehensive iPhone/iPod touch/iPad data recovery software to recover 12 kinds of data from previous iTunes backup if you have, or recover 7 types of deleted data directly from your iOS device even though you have no backups in advance. In order to prevent data loss happened during iOS 7 upgrade, you’d better back up iPhone/iPad/iPod touch contacts to computer ahead of time. For files like music, movies, TV shows, ringtones, photos, apps, PDF and ePub, you can also transfer them to the computer or iTunes for backup with iTransfer for iPhone/iPad/iPod.

Latest 9 iPhone 5S Release News & Rumors – Just Wait And See in This Fall

In recent months, iPhone 5S rumors have swiped through the internet like a tornado. Apple funs and faddists who plan to purchase a new smart phone are spouting off all kinds of rumors about the next generation of iPhone, which is most probably called iPhone 5S. But there’s also another rumor that Apple will skip iPhone 5S and directly launch iPhone 6, which has no any evidence until now. Now let’s go to explore rumors and news about the release date, spec, price and features of the upcoming iPhone 5S together.

1. Release date of iPhone 5S

Speculated by the release date of the iPhone 5 and 4S in October, the iPhone 5S will probably hit stores in the fall of 2013, about in the late August or September this year, so it’s not hard to understand people’s mood of excitement and expectation.

2. Fingerprint scanning tech

Leaked and claimed by Reuters, Apple’s next generation iPhone 5S will have an embedded fingerprint scanner on the Home button to provide enhanced security and also other features. It is said that the advanced fingerprint scanner will employ technology gained from the AuthenTec acquisition. The specific working principle of the tech will be revealed soon in the coming two months.

3. Upgraded iOS 7 system and A7 processor

iOS 7 beta 2 has just been announced and we can bet that the iPhone 5S will launch with the advanced iOS 7, which has been greatly overhauled, making it look more like Android. With the massively overhauled iOS 7 and A7 processor, the processing speed of iPhone 5S will be ultra-fast.

4. Dual-LED Smart Flash, larger battery & new SoC

From the leaked photos, we can see changes in 3 main parts: the iPhone 5S will have a dual-LED flash on the back, a larger battery (5.92 watt-hours vs. 5.45 Wh for the iPhone 5), and a new SoC.

5. High-quality display assembly

Confirmed by BGR, the purported iPhone 5S will get an extensive internal overhaul on the new panel design that allows it to fit on the tweaked logic board from the new iPhone 5S. The internal design differences include Mobile accessory and component retailer TVC-Mall. The iPhone 5S display size and resolution will probably be the same 4-inch 1136×640 unit.

6. 13MP Camera

The camera specs of each of the previous models of Apple have been improved consistently. The 4MP ultra pixel camera of HTC One has upset Apple for some time, while, revealed by iLounge, Apple won’t go down HTC route, and will instead launch iPhone 5S with a 13MP camera, similar to the camera of Sony Xperia Z and Samsung Galaxy S4.

7. New gold color available for iPhone 5S

It’s rumored that Apple’s iPhone 5S will come in a new gold color in addition to the traditional white and black colors, which adds a bit vitality to its appearance and provide more choices to the customers.

8. Cheaper price

We know that the biggest rivals of Apple iPhone is Samsung smartphone, when the latest Galaxy S4 has been released on April this year, Apple has obviously been a bit anxious. Apple will probably cut the price of the iPhone 5S to be around $199 for the 16GB model, $299 for the 32GB model and $399 for 64GB. And Apple may launch a cheaper version of iPhone in plastic casing with a retail price marked only $99.

9. Cheaper version in plastic casing with more colors choice

Another purported model accompanied with iPhone 5S is a cheaper version targeted at the middle and low-end market. It is said that the cheaper version of iPhone will come in plastic casing with 5-6 colors available, which adds a bit fashion twist to iPhone and will surely attract a younger generation of consumers. But the launch time of the cheaper version may be delayed until next year.

Apple Rumored to Double iPhone 5S Retina Display Screen up to 1.5M Pixels

The rumors about Apple’s next iPhone, the iPhone 5S, have spread the internet for long. A new report claims Apple is planning to increase the resolution of a future iPhone model to 1.5 million pixels — double that of the pixel count on the current iPhone 5.

The details come from a report by Chinese-language Weiphone (via Unwired View), which claims that the next-generation Retina display will be featured on Apple’s next-generation handset, whether it be known as the “iPhone 5S” or “iPhone 6.” The report claimed that the next iPhone will continue to have the same 4-inch display as the iPhone 5.

In addition, the report claimed that the iPhone 5 will have an even thinner bezel than its current design, suggesting Apple will borrow design elements from its popular iPad mini. Finally, it was claimed that Apple’s next iPhone will begin shipping in September.

The current iPhone 5 has a pixel count of nearly 730,000 thanks to its screen resolution of 1,136 by 640 pixels. That works out to 326 pixels per inch on the 4-inch display.

Apple introduced the “Retina display” branding for its screens with the launch of the iPhone 4 in 2010. That handset featured a 3.5-inch display with a resolution of 960 by 640 pixels, double that of its predecessors.

At the time, Apple’s Retina display was a market leading feature for the iPhone. But since then, devices like the HTC One, with a 468-pixel-per-inch display, have hit the market.

The HTC One crams a 1080p-resolution screen, the equivalent of a full-fledged high-resolution television, into a 4.7-inch space. That’s more than 2 million pixels, putting it at a density substantially higher than Apple’s iPhone 5.

5 Best iPhone camera apps with advanced photo retouch and manipulation

The Apple iPhone gave the start to the smartphone revolution nearly six years ago, and with time it slowly evolved to be more than just a terrific device for accessing the web. It became the world’s most used camera. Most recently, we compared the latest iPhone 5 against its 2013 rivals and concluded that on many occasions Apple’s smartphone bested them all delivering consistently pleasing colors and performing well in both sun and rain, day and night.

Being such a prolific device, it’s no surprise there is a huge enthusiast iPhone camera community. Instagram did not become a billion dollar company by chance – it was mostly because of the iPhone.

But as a simple device with an almost fully automatic camera, photo enthusiasts crave more manual control: more settings, more filters, more editing options. Good news is all of that is there. Some of the best camera apps are built for the iPhone. Here are the ones that stand out from the rest, ones that you won’t regret buying, here are the essential ones.

iPhone 5 vs. Galaxy S3 vs. Lumia 920 – Which One is Your Cup of Tea

Finally, the Apple iPhone 5 has been here for real with various wonderful features. Though it owns so many premium specs, the iPhone 5 is not the only worthwhile choice for people to choose from the existing highly developed smartphone market. Many other wonderful smartphones are here for choice, like the Samsung Galaxy S 3 and Nokia Windows Phone 8 Lumia 920, which fade no way to iPhone 5 in specs and even user experience. Today, I would like to make a comparison among Apple iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S 3 and Nokia Lumia 920, spec to spec, to let you know which one meets your requirements most and which one is your choice.

Of course, the comparison is based on the released information of all three devices, as the iPhone 5 and Lumia 920 are still to be shipped. The comparison will focus on different aspects. Certainly, you will be given the full specs of these three smartphones at first, which is showed in the below picture:

The comparison will only display the facts and specs to you. You can decide yourself which one is better for you.

Design and build: Apple’s aluminum-and-glass iPhone 5 retains its super-industrial aesthetic, metal buttons and all. Its new, all-metal backing could look slightly less luxe than the iPhone 4S’, but it will survive far more drops. The Nokia Lumia 920 provides various colors, yellow, red, white, black, and gray. Its polycarbonate body and rounded edges produce a punch of pop sensibility in an otherwise staid design world. It’s a good look for the phone, and a smart one that really helps Nokia stand out; however, distinctiveness and the nevertheless plastic body isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. The GS3 features appealing, but shiny, glossy plastic design. It produces quite wonderful and comfortable in-hand feel, despite its much larger size.

Screen size and clarity: The iPhone 5’s 1,136×640 pixels on its 4-inch screen still yields 326 pixels per inch and gives the phone a 16:9 aspect ratio, while Samsung’s Galaxy S3 has the largest screen of the three, an 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED, which yields a 1,280×720-pixel resolution and a pixel density of 306 pixels per inch. Nokia Lumia 920 has a 4.5-inch Nokia PureMotion HD+ display with WXGA resolution (1,280×768 pixels). No doubt, if you want to watch HD movies on these phones or play HD video games, you will be fully fulfilled.

Camera: Samsung’s Galaxy S3 has a sensor that offers the same 8-megapixel resolution as the iPhone 5, plus it features tons of fancy shooting modes like panorama and multishot burst mode. The Nokia Lumia 920 is the real dark horse in the smartphone camera phone arms race. On paper, its 8.7-megapixel camera and PureView technology promise better performance than both the iPhone and Galaxy S3. It also will be able to run special apps within the camera application itself, allowing you to upgrade its functionality greatly over time — at least that’s the theory.

LTE and network promise: A this point, LTE on the iPhone 5 was an inevitability, and a feature that’s been in the hopper for some time. Verizon has already sworn that all its new smartphones will have LTE, and AT&T and Sprint are expanding their respective networks.

NFC: Apple’s iPhone 5 needed a few features to shore up some weak spots: a larger screen, LTE, and, to a lesser extent, NFC. It got the first two, but Apple didn’t mention anything about NFC for the iPhone 5. NFC, which makes it possible to share content across phones and pay for purchases, might not be a big deal to you, but it is an entire category of software capability that’s closed on the iPhone 5.

Battery life: Nokia plans to equip its Lumia 920 with a 2,000 mAh battery, which should provide a good amount of run time, especially considering that Windows Phone has traditionally been a very economical operating system. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with a slightly larger 2,100 mAh battery that lasted for well over 9 hours playing video. Apple is coy on the iPhone 5’s capacity, but promises that its will offer 10 hours of video playback and 8 hours of Web surfing over LTE.
