MacBook Air 12 ", tactile and interactions with virtual controls sight: Rumorsfera

The first months of any year within the Apple world are abuzz with rumors. Straddling the preceding months to come, expectations, interests and perspectives sometimes materialize in various unconfirmed reports, which do not cease to be an important ingredient in the history of the Cupertino company. We started the year still timidly, but interesting things begin to emerge:

• One of the strongest rumors of the week was the possible leak of the first images of the new MacBook Air 12 ". According ifanr.com, the new Mac would not count on the illuminated apple and would look similar to the MacBook Pro frame with Retina display (not to say that this new Air count on it). a lot comes to mind the mythical PowerBook 12 "and for that alone, we are looking forward to seeing this new version (if in the end it materializes).

What people think about the "supposed" new iPhone6

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

For weeks it is circulating the network a mockup of an supposed iPhone 6. This mockup would be designed according to the specs leaked earlier this month, which would show an iPhone with a 4.7 inch screen, a much thinner thickness and a metallic finish that brought us the iPhone 5S. 

Each release of the iPhone, has always introduced design changes, with consequent acceptance or rejection by the users. How users react to this course redesigned iPhone in June? YouTube user urAvgConsumer has taken the mockup to different users to see him and give their opinions. And the truth is that they are quite interesting.



It is striking that all interviewees release a "Wow! just at the time when they teach the mockup. When they have it in their hands realize that it is not real, but still give their opinions about it. Some users say that which no longer looks like an iPhone and it reminds them too much like a Galaxy; also added that do not need a big screen and that for them the size of the phone it is important. 

There is also another type of user who wants a bigger screen better, require renewed design by Apple and need to renew their phone just because it has come out a better choice.

Rumors: the myth of iPhone 6

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

One of the effects of large waves is the effect of recoil prior to arrival. Less than a week to get the WWDC2014 Apple rumors are paused and machinery generate stops looking. What we will see on June 2 will be the first official presentation of the company unveiling its plans for new versions of OS X and iOS operating systems, and maybe one more surprise.

However, we are thinking in a year with new generation of iPhone, and exclusive leaks are still slipping through the cracks of the network. Meanwhile, this is what we have:

• No doubt the iPhone 6 will generate more prototypes generated from the curious. We have already seen, combining everything we "know" so far, different interpretations of how it could be. Now it is the turn to case manufacturers who have created an aluminium model to generate products for the new release, according with MacRumors. And watch out, these leaks have historically never been far from the actual product...

• Another rumor most commented this past week are the pictures of the possible LED light panel that the new iPhone 6. Apparently, Apple will incorporate the latest in LED technology to thin even more the new model, according to MacRumors would be considerably thinner than the iPhone 5s, for example.

• This section talked a lot of "how" will be, but we must also assess the affectations of these changes and their impact on iPhone ecosystem. In 9to5Mac published an interesting article on how a larger iPhone will force developers to rethink their applications: iOS is ready for dynamic scaling, however, is the task of the programmers use this space to the fullest, and now seems to have much more that should be better utilized.

• Another article I liked reading this week is publishing in TechNightOwl on quality control at Apple, and how every little problem is even software level makes them start over the whole process. I think reading it will be very useful to understand that any rumor about Apple security is a process that can not be the fastest, but is intended to be the most accurate.

• Finally, a very good article by Mark Wilson to FastCoDesign: four myths about Apple, viewed by an ex-designer of the company. Well thought out, realistic and that we should come in handy to read when some fake try to sneak a impossible design: Apple are probably the best, but they are still human. Nothing iPhones with projected holographic display and keyboard...for now.

Apple has released OS X 10.9.3

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Apple has released 10.9.3 update in OS X Mavericks with improved stability, compatibility and security among which are extended with support 4K displays in the latest models of Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina screen of 15 inches, and the added ability to sync contacts and calendars between a Mac and an iOS device via a USB connection. 

This new Mavericks version also includes Safari 7.0.3 with the usual update level security patches, fixes among other errors and problems with the Font Book, the reliability of VPN connections with IPSec, copy options, edit and inspect permissions on SMB servers, or stability to install configuration profiles.

As for iTunes 11.2, the update focuses on improving the exploration of podcasts with new features like the new tab "not played" access to the list of episodes to play or download more comfortably, an option to save our favorite episodes and disposal episodes automatically reproduced. Maybe dare update the Podcasts app for iOS. 

You will find both updates in the Mac App Store and if you were brave and installed public beta of OS X 10.9.3 you can be reassured to know that the final version passed without major drawbacks.

iPhone 6 ... 1704x960 pixels?

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

All indications are that the next iPhone 6 will see significant changes in the display. It is speculated by the arrival of two models of 4.7 and 5.5 inches. 

According to 9to5mac, who refer to sources that are testing the new phone, Apple will use a resolution of 1704x960 pixels in their next phone, strange for conventional world but logic within the Apple ecosystem. Keep the same format including iPhone 5 and 5S, which would imply that the adaptation of applications to the new resolution. 

This resolution would be shared with the two phone sizes, 4.7 and 5.5 inches, and would be above 300 dpi that Apple requires to consider a Retina Display screen. They would be 416 and 356 dpi respectively, even above 326 ppi that Apple has been using for the iPhone 4. 

It seems that Apple will raise the screen size of the next iPhone 6, and logic tells us that with this increase will also increase the resolution. These 1704x960 pixels fall within the logic, but of course we have to consider having a lot of speculation. Surely in the next WWDC 2014 (2-6 June) it unveil a new feature of iOS 8, and perhaps also with him some new feature of the iPhone 6 is leaking, hopefully confirming many of the things that have been rumored in the recent months. Maybe some new feature of the iPhone 6 is also leaking in the coming days. 

Hello? And meanwhile the iPhone rumor 6c, where it is?

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

We have rumors, rumors and more rumors iPhone 6, which will be the next big jump in Apple design. We all know that every two generations, Apple makes a great device redesign and now when it's up again. 

How it will evolve to the iPhone 6c? We have so many pictures of the iPhone 6, which I think in September we will have no surprise about the iPhone but substitute "colors" do not know anything yet.

Will we see a major revolution in the iPhone 5c? 

Obviously, externally it appears that is not going to happen, it most probably would have seen a leak and respect. As now run rumors and leaks, and would have seen any alleged photograph or render any course.

Well, if a rumor has been ... but the truth is that I personally do not give much credibility. Slimmer design, slightly larger screen ... better camera and without touchID.

My theory is that a new color appear. iPhone 5C, 5 colors, iPhone 6C, 6 colors. Besides the iPhone 6C, come along with the release of the iPhone 6S. Would talk in a high-end changes every year and a range focused on new and young audience that would change every 2 years.

Create a business card with a screen of an iPhone

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

To be original in a business card can be tricky, yet it is always good to try to have a worthwhile because it is the first impression people takes us. That's what I thought an Apple engineer and has been made a visiting card with a screen of an iPhone.

The card you can see above belongs to an Apple engineer who has not revealed his name. It is made with part of the front screen of an iPhone, taken directly from the Foxconn factory and its recorded data on Gorilla Glass with a specific laser.

Of course this card is useful only to impress people, since being built in glass makes it impossible for us to keep in your purse or simply in your pocket. Still seems that the engineer takes all eyes in meetings because he carried around his neck whenever he can. I have it clear, their having access to materials and similar reasons to me the would without hesitation.

The iPhone 6 could be as thin as the iPod Touch

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
The new Apple iPhone could be very, very thin. Almost as much as the iPod Touch. So say the latest rumors we have seen about the leak of alleged cases for the new Apple smartphone.



With the latest rumors, users want to know more about the possible size of the iPhone 6. This important aspect in a terminal is the focus of much of the community and the latest rumors suggest that the phone could be much more thin, almost as much as an iPod Touch, as we have seen recently.

According to the alleged leak of the new iPhone 6 cases, the thickness of the iPod Touch fits perfectly with the new size of the iPhone 6. Here we show in a video released by Unbox Therapy, who have managed such cases. The main problem is that not really know whether the alleged cases are real.

However, what if we have clear is that almost all the rumors about the size of the iPhone 6, from various sources, point towards the same details as time goes by. In theory, the size of the iPhone 6 would have changed to have a wider thinner and lighter screen of 4.7 inch. Other rumors, with some more time, indicate that the screen would be protected by sapphire crystal and likely have a substantial reduction of the splices.

If all this is true you could call this new phone like the iPhone Air, as it would be the subtlest phone, but also wider. While we wait, we remind this interesting comparison of the most popular phones on the concept of iPhone 6 which comes closest to what we think.

Apple confirms purchase LuxVue, a specialized manufacturer of low power LEDs

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

It started as a rumor but has quickly confirmed: Apple has acquired a company called LuxVue Technology, specializing in the manufacture of low-power LEDs. There is no official website of the company, may be the closest thing this website who happens under construction. 

The cost of this purchase is not known, but appear to be another one of those discrete acquisitions and with surgical precision so that Apple has more resources into a product or service. The official response from the company has been the same: "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time and generally do not discuss our purpose or plans."

Its usefulness is quite clear: screens with small LEDs that can benefit both iOS devices (improving efficiency and battery life) like a supposed iWatch needs miniaturize a screen as it can. Mostly with these things, we will see the result applied in future Apple products.

Renders of alleged iPhone 6 confirm the increase in screen and 6mm thick

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Leaks continue, and this time are some renders of the iPhone in June alleged that show how the new terminal would be more screen and thinner.

March and April tend to be especially active in Tale months of rumors and leaks about new Apple products, and this year, the event increased screen size of the next iPhone 6 is assuming that most of the rumors focus on this feature.

I recently watched the new front panel and more rounded edges. Now would be new renders for accessory manufacturers to confirm the increased screen and 6 millimeters thick. If so become one of the finest devices market.

Through UkranianiPhone have posted pictures that accompany this post and according to this source correspond to Render design for manufacturers of bags and accessories, and how logically contain all the physical details of the terminal to match the accessories with the arrangement of the physical buttons and the structure of the terminal. In this way according to these data, this assumption iPhone would be high and slightly wider than the current iPhone 5s, which measures 124mm by 59mm by changing to 138mm by 67mm, nearby to one of the terminals Android. 


One idea that I personally am not convinced, I think more than 5 inches is a brick in your pocket.

New iWatch Concept with Flexible Screen and Healthbook

The iWatch could be reality soon and we all want to see with our own eyes. However, while it is official or not, we can see a new iWatch concept, this time designed by Edgar Rios. A really slick design.

We are now in April and as we all rumors point, assuming Apple clock, which we call iWatch will be presented in September. We do not know anything for sure about how it will be, or whether there will finally have the functions.

Despite the lack of official information, small leaks and rumors of both sources inform us that there might be two models, one for men and one for women, although screens are small, have a very good resolution 200 to 300 ppi.

 In addition, other sources claim that Apple is contacting Swiss watchmakers to work on the development of this new gadget. A gadget concepts we've seen more than rumors.

Notifications, Healthbook and iOS 7 in this iWatch

According to the concepts we've seen on the internet, the future of Apple iWatch have round or square screen, buttons and much more or less features. For example, we bring you today, personally do not like too much, but maybe many of you do.

Edgar Rios iWatch been thought to be a rectangular watch with many similar features to the iPhone. Notifications, Healthbook, music player or different clock modes or watchfaces as the Pebble smartwatch are viewing this designer.

Perhaps what I like best is the least likely part of this course iWatch. The watchfaces are perfect for adapting a smartwatch the day, allowing us to customize it to far.

Another characteristic for which the designer is Healthbook bet, the application that Apple has supposedly designed to measure our physical activity and our health. According to many sources suggest, this app would measure the steps we take daily blood pressure or advanced parameters such as blood glucose level.

In my opinion, the more features we link our iWatch more rise in price and probably less battery will last. I'd love to see a simple device, without too many functions and battery, at least 5 days. Is it too much?

And you, do you like this concept? Would you buy it?
