Hi guys/fans of @Stuffzonnet: brought to you by stuffzonnet.blogspot.com is another wonderful update and believe me when i say this is a bomb, talking about the alleged Apple iWatch. Will this actually turn out to be true, or is it just a dream that Apple fanboys/fangirls want it to become a reality? Another option is of course that Apple secretly started this rumor in order to keep us from digging into what they are really working on. When it comes to Apple, there is little to be “trusted.” One thing is for sure though, and that is that future smartphones will have some pretty neat features incorporated into them.

New designs and ideas are always being conceived, but it’s the really cool projects that stay around for a year or two that really become reality. This future smartphone design dubbed the LIMBO is one of those concept designs. Since everyone is talking about a wearable smartphone, this should truly be the ultimate concept, if you ask me.

The LIMBO might look like a science fiction pip boy from Fallout, but it’s actually a plausible future smartphone design which would only need a flexible touchscreen to be realized. And as far as I know, we already have a few prototypes of those touchscreens which were demoed by Samsung in their future smartphone designs. An iWatch from Apple is most likely to look like an iPod Nano attached to a wristband, or something similar, and that’s why I think this future smartphone concept design is way more appealing.

Not only does it work like a regular smartphone, but the flexibility of it allows it to be seamlessly wrapped around your wrist just like the rumored iWatch would. There’s no doubt that smartphone manufacturers are working on concept wristband smartphones right now since the demand has never been higher. But the nagging question is of course what they will look like when they are first announced. This particular future smartphone concept design was conceived by South Korean designer Jeabyun Yeon and transforms into a wristwatch. It includes a flexible touchscreen display (4.3” / 16:9 WSVGA AMOLED) and a bunch of other neat features.

We recently discovered a manufacturing issue affecting a very limited number of iPhone 5S devices that could cause the battery to take longer to charge or result in reduced battery life,” Teresa Brewer, an Apple spokeswoman, told +The New York Times. “We are reaching out to customers with affected phones and will provide them with a replacement phone.”

The Apple iPhone 5S is supposed to have significantly longer battery life than its predecessors. But for a small number of the new models, a manufacturing defect has caused the battery to drain quickly, according to the company.
“We recently discovered a manufacturing issue affecting a very limited number of iPhone 5S devices that could cause the battery to take longer to charge or result in reduced battery life,” said Teresa Brewer, an Apple spokeswoman. “We are reaching out to customers with affected phones and will provide them with a replacement phone.”
Apple did not say how many iPhones were defective, but its statement implied that it was a few thousand phones. In September, Apple said it had sold nine million new iPhones in the first weekend they went on sale.
A manufacturing issue is not the same as a defective battery, which some users thought was the problem with their phones.
Apple has faced problems with defective batteries in the past. In 2006, it issued a recall for some laptops because their batteries contained cells manufactured by Sony, which were causing some batteries to explode.

Apple has just launched the iOS 7.0.3 update for all supported iDevices. The release is rather rich in bug fixes but it also brings a few new features.

As for the bugfixes, the most important ones include fixing some iMessage activation problems, and also resolving the notorious accelerometer issue and putting to sleep the recently discovered ways to bypass the Lock screen passcode (a previous bug of this kind was fixed with iOS 7.0.2, too).
Here is the full changelog, in case that image up there is hard to read.

iOS 7.0.3 changelog

• Adds iCloud Keychain to keep track of your account names, passwords, and credit card numbers across all your approved devices
• Adds Password Generator so Safari can suggest unique, hard-to-guess passwords for your online accounts
• Updates lock screen to delay display of "slide to unlock" when Touch ID is in use
• Adds back the ability to search the web and Wikipedia from Spotlight search
• Fixes an issue where iMessage failed to send for some users
• Fixes a bug that could prevent iMessage from activating
• Improves system stability when using iWork apps
• Fixes an accelerometer calibration issue
• Addresses an issue that could cause Siri and VoiceOver to use a lower quality voice
• Fixes a bug that could allow someone to bypass the Lock screen passcode
• Enhances the Reduce Motion setting to minimize both motion and animation
• Fixes an issue that could cause VoiceOver input to be too sensitive
• Updates the Bold Text setting to also change dial pad text
• Fixes an issue that could cause supervised devices to become un-supervised when updating software

According to Tech Crunch sources, the new gold iPhone 5S is fondly called the "Kardashian Phone" by some of Apple's staff. This fact was tweeted by NYT's Nick Bilton.
The moniker isn't an official code name but an internal joke as a result of kim's fondness for gold iPhones. The reality star actually had an iPhone 5 that was anodized gold long before Apple’s ‘champagne’ device hit the market.
The gold iPhone has been the more popular of the three recently released variants of the iPhone. Prior to launch, the general opinion was the phone was going to be a flop.........

The wraps are off, the new Apple tablets are official. Say hello to the new 9.7" model, iPad Air (not 5), and the new 7.9" model, the iPad mini 2. The big news, of course, is that the mini model now has a Retina display.

Apple iPad mini 2

The Apple iPad mini 2 still has a 7.9" screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio, but the resolution has quadrupled to 1536 x 2048 pixels and the pixel density has doubled to 324ppi.
The chipset was another part where the iPad mini lagged behind with a lowly dual-core Cortex-A9 processor. Apple has used its own Apple A7 chipset with ARMv8-based Cyclone cores, a couple of generations ahead of A9. The GPU got a major boost too and is a PowerVR SGX 6th series. The M7 motion co-processor is on-board too.






The TouchID rumors didn’t pan out and the mini 2 has a regular Home button. Another disappointment is that it's 0.3mm thicker (7.5mm) and 23g heavier (331g).

The Apple iPad mini 2 runs iOS 7 out of the box (of course) and storage options range from 16GB all the way to 128GB. Color options are just Silver & White and Space Grey & Black. As usual there will be Wi-Fi and 3G/LTE versions.
The Apple iPad mini 2 will be available in November starting at $399, which is notably higher compared to the $339 starting price of the first iPad mini last year.


Surprisingly, the original iPad mini will be kept alive at $299.

Apple iPad Air

The Apple iPad Air brings a new name, new design and more power. It received the new Apple A7 chipset along with the M7 motion co-processor. The other major upgrade is the design – it's based on the iPad mini and has narrower bezels (43% smaller) that make the tablet easier to handle.
The tablet is 20% thinner and now measures just 7.5mm, thinner than the iPad 2. The weight also went down big time - from 653g to 469g.

Other than that you get a 9.7" IPS LCD screen with 1536 x 2048 pixel as before. The iPad Air didn't get the TouchID sensor either, but we doubt anyone will miss it.
Color options are Silver and white and Space gray and the storage options go all the way up to 128GB (starting at 16GB and doubling at each step).
The Apple iPad Air will be available on November 1 starting at $499.
By the way, the iPad 2 is still alive and will continue selling at $399 (it's three generations old now).

Here are the launch dates for the first wave and the map of LTE support:

Smart Cover

Apple also unveiled a new type of case for the iPads, the Smart Cover. It's similar to the iPhone 5s cases as it covers the back and comes in a variety of colors.
For the iPad Air, the Smart Cases cost $79, while the iPad mini 2 Smart Cases cost $69. The cases are made of leather and com in come in Brown, Beige, Black, Yellow, Blue and PRODUCT (RED).
