100th Post!

This post marks my 100th post on this blog! So actually, I have been actively blogging this past year and I am exhilarated about the fact that my blog have been read by about 4000 viewers. The numbers might be insignificant, but it is a great milestone achieved, and I will work towards my goal of 10,000 blog viewers, as well as about 100 subscribers on my Youtube channel. Talking about Youtube, my TP-Link unboxing video had hit to about 33,000 views and I will do my best to keep the numbers going, by doing more tech videos in the future, if I plan to do so. It has been my hobby to post tech related news and bring informative materials to the world that can benefit them. So I will end off this post by leaving a link to my Youtube. Do subscribe to my channel for future tech videos and keep up-to-date with the latest tech updates! Thanks!

iPad Mini event - 23rd October 2012

On the 23rd of October, Apple launched a new product: the iPad mini. With a stunning 7.9 inch display, it is easier for users to carry around when travelling, due to its lighter weight and smaller design. But has the performance improved? To be precise, I feel that the iPad mini is a scaled down version of the iPad 2, except for the new HD cameras, LTE and Lightning connector that were introduced. It uses the A5 processor that the iPad 2 has, which I doubt that the performance will lose out to the iPad 3 and the newly introduced iPad 4, that has the new A6X processor. Alongside to the announcement of the iPads, new Mac Minis and iMacs were introduced. Sad to say, the Mac Minis were only given the USB 3.0 support upgrade, and new Ivy bridge processors, and there are not much of a difference as compared to the older generations. However, the iMac made drastic changes especially to the hardware design. IT IS STUNNINGLY THIN. I never expect Apple to make such a bold move, and I am really impressed by the team of engineers that designed this new iMac. Apple also introduced the 13 inch Retina Macbook Pro that stands alongside to its 15 inch brother. iBooks 3.0 and iBooks Author were also released earlier today to further improve the quality of their ebooks.

iPhone 5

It's quite a long time since I posted here. So today, let's talk about the new iPhone : iPhone 5. As expected from those rumors, a longer screen iPhone was indeed correct. With a stunning 1136x640 pixel 4-inch display, the new iPhone allows more room for content display and gaming. Fitted with a brand new A6 processor and 1GB of ram, it handles high-processor-gaming more efficiently and boosts its speed for normal web surfing. A brand new 720p front facing camera was also introduced to replace the old VGA quality camera, and the back camera remains the same as the iPhone 4S, with full 1080p HD video recording. It has a brand new dock connector-Lightning, and is much smaller in size compared to the old 30-pin dock connector.

iPhone 5 announcement on September 12th!

It is confirmed that iPhone 5 will be announced on the September 12th keynote.

iPhone event likely this September?

With most sources talking about the next generation iPhone, some have created a prototype much similar to the rumored iPhone, with a brand new 19pin dock connector, and of course a longer 4 inch screen. Various sources have also hinted on an iPhone announcement on the 12th of September, alongside with the introduction of new iPod series and maybe the new iMac. Looking forward to the announcement of the new iPhone.

Mountain Lion released date confirmed? (updated: CONFIRMED!)

Rumors surfaced that the Mountain Lion, the next operating system upgrade for macs will be released to public on 25th July. It has been a few weeks since the last developer preview of the Golden Master candidate, which will be the last developer release before the public release. Furthermore, as promised by Apple for the software to be launched in July, 25th would be the most possible date as many Apple stores have planned overnights so as to prepare the Mountain Lion launch the next day. To be downloaded through the Mac App Store, this upgrade will cost you US$19.99, $10 cheaper compared to the Lion release last year. Hope to hear their announcement of the release.

iMac refresh Oct 2012?

Rumors spread across internet saying that iMac would get a refresh this October keynote. Most probably, there will not be a Retina Display for iMacs. iPad Mini (7-inch tablet) are also rumored to be announced this keynote!

WWDC 2012 RECAP

It has been quite some time since the WWDC 2012 ended, and Apple came out a chain of new devices as well as softwares for the public. The star of the show, the next generation Macbook Pro was indeed stunning and magnificent. With its Retina display and new thinner design, it captivated the mass audience at the keynote. The current Macbook Air and Pros have also refreshed with Ivy Bridge processors (3rd gen). Something new about the new Macbook Air is that it will be using an all new Power connector, the Magsafe 2, which was used on the next generation Macbook Pro. Mountain Lion (10.8) was also a big part of the keynote, which will be available on the Mac App Store in the month of July. New features were introduced, like iCloud integration and Power Nap on the new Software, and is available for US$19.99. It is much more cheaper compared to the release of Lion, which costs US$29.99. Finally, iOS 6 was also announced at the keynote which had new features like Maps, which Apple had replaced their current Google Maps with their own version of Maps. Developers were given the beta version of the new software, and the public release would be sometime later.
