Over 23000 Korean iPhone users joined the lawsuit towards Apple for location tracking

The location tracking of Apple iPhone and iPad has been a great concern from all Apple device fans and worldwide users ever since being discovered. Last month, a South Korean lawyer, Kim Hyeong-Suk, sued Apple for “amassing of location data without users’ consent” and infringing on his privacy in a lawsuit that was filed against the American company on April 26 and got 1 million won (about US $945) compensation from Apple. Obviously, that is not the end of this case. Kim had said he would draw more iPhone users to sue Apple for the location data collecting. The latest news show that there are over 23000 South Korean iPhone users joined the lawsuit towards Apple for location tracking.

Last month, in an updated version of Apple’s privacy policy, the company added a note that once users agree, Apple and unspecified “partners and licensees” may collect and store user location data. Some detailed content of the upgraded Apple’s privacy policy showed bellow:

“To provide location-based services on Apple products, Apple and our partners and licensees may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your Apple computer or device. This location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you and is used by Apple and our partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based products and services. For example, we may share geographic location with application providers when you opt in to their location services.

Some location-based services offered by Apple, such as the MobileMe “Find My iPhone” feature, require your personal information for the feature to work.”

However, this upgraded privacy policy could still not comfort iPhone and iPad users about their privacy data. The class-action lawsuit launched by the Mirae Law, Kim’s law firm, might make an end with the tech giant paying millions of dollars in damages for inflicting emotional distress on them through the smartphone’s controversial location tracking feature.

It is currently reported that Kim’s law firm has charged each plaintiff 16900 won (US $16). No matter what the result would be, Kim’s law firm would benefit at least 9000 won per client.

More news on Apple iPad and iPhone location tracking would be reported here. Stay tuned.

What’s your choice: Motorola Droid phones or Apple iPhone 5

The latest news from a retail job posting of Apple in the U.K. for seasonal iPhone sales staff hints that the Apple might make a mid-August iPhone 5 launch. This is really quite exciting news for all iPhone fans, yet still needs to be confirmed. The popular saying about the iPhone 5 release date is in October, just in time to compete with other smart mobile phones, especially Motorola Droid phones like the Motorola Droid Bionic, Motorola Droid X2 and Motorola Droid 2 Global, strong competitors to Apple iPhone 5. The Motorola Droid family are also powerful enough to make a killer combat to Apple iPhone 5, just like other Android OS smart mobile phones. The Motorola Droid phones are going to be released soon with specifications and features quite confirmed, while the Apple iPhone 5 is still a puzzle in both the specs and release time. Thus, what’s your choice between these two kinds of smart phones? Take Motorola Droid phones, or wait for some time to get the unconfirmed iPhone 5?

In fact, about the specs of Apple iPhone 5, there have been so many rumors and speculations, most of which are supposed to be true for iPhone 5. Firstly, it would come with the Apple iOS 5 which promises to take the iOS user experience to the next level. The 4.0 inch edge-to-edge multitouch screen display provides excellent video, picture and gaming experience. The Apple A5 processor would also enhance the phone performance in graphics and CPU. Meanwhile, the Apple iPhone 5 is supposed to work with more carriers, including T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. What’s more, another advantage of Apple iPhone 5 is that it owns plenty of accessory suppliers for different accessories.

The Motorola Droid Bionic features the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operation system. It would land on Verizon’s 4G LTE network this summer. The huge 4.5-inch display will definitely hypnotize customers, while the dual-camera system (8MP and VGA) will make the smartphone even more appealing. To get this mobile phone, you can firstly visit the Verizon Droid Bionic page and enter your e-mail address and then you will receive within time details and launch dates etc.

Droid X2 and Droid 2 Global are also strong competitors for Apple’s iPhone thanks to their improved specs. All in all, Motorola’s offerings are the “real-deal”, while the iPhone 5’s specs are simply speculation.

Of course, these smart mobile phones are still on the way to market. We can make the full comparison between them only when they have been released. However, if you just want to buy a new smart mobile phone, which one would you choose, a Motorola Droid Bionic, or the iPhone 5?

20 Rumors on Apple iPhone 5: A Roundup of Apple iPhone 5 Rumored Specs, Release Date and Possibility for Each Rumors

Through the Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, we have got the top 10 hot features of iOS 5, now the Apple WWDC has past for days and it would be the right time to get our attention back to the next generation of Apple iPhone, the iPhone 5. Four years ago, Apple released iPhone in summer without any notices, which makes sense that a release in September of Apple iPhone 5 would be a deterministic event of Apple. And after the closing of WWDC 2011, there emerges various rumors on iPhone 5, and here I have collected a roundup of rumors on the specs and release date of Apple iPhone 5 and made a prediction about the possibility of various rumors.

The following are the rumors I collected in the past few days:

1. iPhone 5 adopts larger edge-to-edge screen. (Somewhat possible)

It is possible as the competitors of Apple iPhone, like the main trend phones of Android OS, all adopts delectable 4 inch large screen, which makes it reasonable for people to rumor a larger edge-to-edge screen on iPhone 5 to pander to the trend of the times.

2. Support for 4G network connectivity. (Seems impossible)

Apple had spent a whole year for the 3G network connectivity support. 4G network connectivity has been anticipated for long to make a smooth support on the new iPhone. Maybe Apple would make it possible for iPhone 5 with 4G network connectivity to optimize its performance.

3. Support for both Verizon and AT&T. (Much possible)

Some people predicted that the iPhone 5 would become a “global” communication device, which means the support for both CDMA and GSM network. This also means, you could get an iPhone 5 capable of both Verizon and AT&T.

4. More selling points of iOS 5 before official marketing. (Much possible)

iOS 5 indeed appears to be great, yet still needs more to be perfect: adding third-party plugs, dimensional sound control, absence of 3G network supported Facetime, etc. And before the official market release in September, Apple still gets enough time to perfect iOS 5.

5. Dismiss the HOME button. (Impossible)

Maybe Apple would change the phone design scheme, just like what Android did before, to dismiss the frontal physical buttons. Then all applications would be in control under a touch button.

6. Configure camera capable of HD video shooting. (Seems possible)

The 5MP camera on iPhone 4 didn’t provide quite nice HD video shooting experience for users. There are reports that an 8MP camera is capable of 1080P HD video shooting. In the market of smart mobile phones today, many Android phones own 8MP camera for 1080P HD video shooting. According to the configuration standard of Apple iPhone cameras, 5MP camera on iPhone 5 seems to be reasonable. However, the existing market has made it hopeful for us to expect an 8MP camera on iPhone 5.

7. Dual LED flashlights. (Possible)

Some rumors leak another optimization of iPhone 5 camera: iPhone 5 will feature with dual LED flashlights for better lighting effects.

8. The same appearance design as iPhone 4. (Possible)

The appearance design of iPhone 5 should keep the same as that of iPhone 4. There are various rumors on iPhone 5 appearance. Some think it would be just a simple upgrade version of iPhone 4, the appearance staying the same while providing faster processing and larger RAM. Still, some other people think the next iPhone would be called “iPhone 4S”, instead of iPhone 5.

9. Fully new design. (Unlikely)

Some people think the iPhone 5 would own ultra slim phone body and larger screen, which is the favorite of Apple’s products for every new upgrade.

10. Enlarge RAM from 32GB to 64GB. (Possible)

People had been anticipating this break on iPhone 4 but finally not satisfied. And now, this anticipation has been changed to iPhone 5. If it comes true, then the iPhone 5 would have two versions: 32GB version and 64GB version, which would result in a price reduction of 16GB iPhone 4.

11. Near Field Communication Payment. (Much possible)

The NFC technology has been long rumored on the iPhone 5, which would enable users make payment through mobile phones. The NFC chipset would be bounded with Apple account, thus users could easily pay music and apps they purchase from iTunes.

12. Adopt A5 processor. (Definitely settled)

The iPhone 5 adopts Apple A5 processor could be said to a definitely settled fact, just like the iPad 2. The A5 processor could own twice speed as that of iPhone 4 and much longer battery life.

13. Built-in antenna for better signal capturing. (Definitely settled)

Apple would not repeat the mistake on antenna. iPhone 5 would feature with built-in antenna or redesigned outlay antenna for better signal capturing.

14. Release cheap Nano iPhone. (Totally impossible)

Every iPhone upgrade would accompany with cheap Nano iPhone. But some analysts think the cheaper and smaller Nano iPhone would end all cheap Android phones, thus this rumor is absolutely impossible.

15. Games and videos with 3D effect. (Impossible)

It is impossible for Apple to improve anything related to 3D effect as it would cost so much time and costs. But, still rumors say iPhone 5 would feature with apps and videos with 3D effect.

16. No glasses on the rear. (Much possible)

This seems to be quite possible. The iPhone 4 glass back produces quite nice sense of touch and secure. Now, some designers say Apple would change the glass back to metal, just like the first iPhone.

17. To be released in this September. (Maybe)

Apple released no information on WWDC about iPhone 5. So, if Apple releases iPhone 5 in September, it would not be a surprise, yet still not confirmed. The only thing we are sure is that Apple would release new iPhone after the iOS 5 in September.

18. Feature with mini SIM card. (Impossible)

An European officer from Orange revealed that iPhone 5 would come with a customized smaller SIM card, but the opponents insist iPhone 5 would stay the same as iPhone 4 in phone body.

19. Compatible with Sprint and T-mobile. (Maybe)

We have got some leaked tests of iPhone on T-mobile. Some analysts think iPhone 5 would also be compatible with Sprint and T-mobile network.

20. Nuance omnibearing sound control. (Much possible)

The owner of Dragon Dictation, Nuance is one of Apple’s partners, which provides great opportunity for iPhone 5 omnibearing sound control expansion. With the omnibearing sound control system, you could speak your email or message on your iPhone 5, instead of handwriting, just like Android mobile phones.

Well, these are all the rumors popular recently I have collected. Whatever, what your opinion for the Apple iPhone 5? When do you think it would be out and what specs you are expecting for? If you like, you can just share your own opinion below in the comment part.

The Next Apple iPhone confirmed to be iPhone 5 and may be released in September on a special Apple event

The BGR (Boy Genius Reports) quoted “Reliable” news that the has proved the next Apple iPhone to be confirmed as Apple iPhone 5, rather than little upgraded Apple iPhone 4S. And according to the release date of iPhone 5, the reports said it might be set in Auguest on an unusual Apple event, or late on the annual iPod release conference in September. Upon the recent rumors on iPhone 5 and Apple sell the bare versions of iPhone 4 without subsidies; the latter release date seems to be more reasonable.

So far, BGR suggests and confidently says that the phone will have a “radical new case design” with an edge-to-edge full screen display. It will look nothing like the previous iPhone’s and is set to stun Apple fans, according to reports. It also suggests there will be a bigger home screen button and that the back of the phone will be very similar to the iPod Touch with a curved back.

Other reports suggest that the iPhone 5 will run the same ARM A5 1GHz dual-core processor as the famous & popular iPad 2. It will sport an 8-megapixel camera with the ability to shoot 1080p HD video and will have a 720p HD screen.

One thing that is for sure is that the next Apple iPhone 5 would absolutely adopt the iOS 5 operation system, which has been revealed on Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) together with iCloud music service and Mac OS X Lion.

Anyway, these are just our predications towards Apple iPhone 5 and Apple has been keeping silence for all time. In a fast developing electronic market of smart mobile phones with so many new and powerful smart phones emerged quickly one after another, just like Nokia N9 and HTC Kingdom, how long can you wait for Apple iPhone 5?

iPad 3 rumors: iPad 3 to be equipped with Apple A6 2 Quad while iPhone 5 still comes with A5

It is reported that the next generation of Apple iPad, the iPad 3, would be equipped with Apple A6, a 2-Quad core produced by Apple, to make iPad 3 more competitive. The senior editor Linley Gwennap of Barron’s reported last Thursday that Apple would introduce its next generation of chips for Apple devices, the A6 2-Quad core, as its competitors like NVIDIA would also release 2-quad cores.

2-Quad chip is no doubt a big innovation for the future development of portable devices. It would empower handheld tablet as powerful as desk computers. The recently released 2-Quad chip Kal-El from NVIDIA shows very vivid display effect. Once it is on market, it is predicable that all Google Android OS tablets would adopt this chip, which would make great competitive pressure on Apple.

But Gwennap also predicts that the A6 chipset might not be suitable for small sized smart mobile phones as it might be a little bit large, upon the existing A5 chipset which is larger than NVIDIA chipsets. Thus the next generation of Apple iPhone, the iPhone 5, may not adopt 2-Quad chipset, still with the A5 dual-core chipset.
