The company Apple is going to start selling its new product iWatch in 2013. According to the publication Bloomberg, on the development of hours Apple has a team of 100 people.
It is reported that iWatch be able to perform some functions of the iPhone and iPad: make calls and see the name of the caller during an incoming call, see a map showing the current location and so on. Also, watch iWatch receive a pedometer and heart rate measurement sensor.
New iPad 5 leaked photos have hit the Internet last month, as rumors continue to swirl that Apple is working on a new tablet with a slightly new redesign. The leaked photos of the new iPad apparently show the new tablet with a much thinner bezel, and seemingly confirms rumors that Apple will redesign the iPad 5. The photos are also consistent with reports that the new iPad will resemble the iPad Mini, and the overall redesign is not that drastic.
Apple released the iPad 4 as well as the iPad Mini in 2012 with great displays and processing power. The fourth generation iPad in fact has been proved to be twice as fast as the third generation version. Therefore, the next obvious question is about the kind of features the iPad 5 will bring and when it will be released for buyers.
After checking with his supply chain sources, Kuo reported in a research note, “We think the tablet will, at 7.5-8.0mm, be 15% thinner than iPad 4.”
He added, “The new device will likely be about 500 grams, or some 25% lighter than iPad 4.”
Kuo expects the iPad 5 to boast an A7X processor (even though Apple has yet to introduce the A7), as well as “cameras with similar specs to the iPad 4’s (front HD, rear 5MP),” he said.
As far as the enclosure is concerned, the color offerings will remain unchanged (silver and black), and Kuo expects a narrow bezel design similar to the iPad mini’s.
Ming-Chi Kuo also said:
“We therefore think that iPad 5’s battery capacity will be 25-30% smaller, at 8,500-9,000mAh, than iPad 4’s, and the battery’s thickness will be 15-20% smaller, at 7.5-8.0mm, and the number of cells will be reduced to two from three.”
Here are some possible concept features that might be included in the iPad 5:
There are rumors on various websites about the iPad 5 including CD and USB ports. Having a USB port might prove very useful in general to plug and play other external storage devices.
There are other reports of Apple trying to add a scanner to the iPad. Including a scanner will have huge benefits that will include instant conversion of text to soft copies that can be easily emailed to other people. The benefits of adding scanning capabilities to the iPad can be immense.
One of the most popular rumors on the iPad as well as the iPhone has been adding a projector. Adding a projector will take the iPad desirability sky high due to the kind of capabilities it will add to a simple portable device. It is not confirmed that Apple will definitely add a projector, but concept videos and concept blog articles always talk about how this can be a possibility.
The fourth-generation iPad 4 is a tablet computer produced and marketed by Apple Inc. The fourth-generation iPad 4 features new and upgraded components such as the Apple A6X chip, and the Lightning connector, which was introduced on September 12, 2012.

The iPad 3 and iPad 4 have the same dimensions with a length of 241.2mm, width of 185.7mm, and 9.4 for depth. The third and fourth generation tablet also weighed 652g, or approximately 1.44 pounds.

A definite change is the operating system (OS). The iPad 3 starts with the iOS 5.1, with YouTube and Google Maps, but can be upgraded to the latest iOS 6. The iPad 4 automatically comes up the iOS 6 with the new Apple Maps and Passbook apps.

All set for Apple to reveal its magical product iPad in smaller version which is reported to be called as iPad mini. According to a report from Bloomberg, the iPad mini might have a screen between 7 – 8 inches. However, it would not have the all powerful retina display. Bloomberg also says that the product could be launched as early as October.
“For the 7.85-inch panel, there’s a business plan for it, there’s a mass production target for it. And we know that it’s for Apple,” says Richard Shim, an NPD DisplaySearch analyst. Mr. Shim added “I don’t know the name of the product, but I know it’s going to be a tablet”. Shim said ” Production is likely imminent. Everything is getting set up. We know the lines. We know how many panels are going to come out of the sheets of glass.These are supply chain indications. By the very nature of the supply chain, these plans can be altered”
Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee & Leach Inc. says that “It would be the competitiors’ worst nightmare. The ball is in Apple’s court”.
Other reports have claimed that the iPad Mini will be priced at $299. Estimates for production runs are about 35 million units in 2013.
With Google and Microsoft revealing their latest tablet devices Nexus 7 and Surface respectively, Its going to be real head-to-head war among the three giants.
The iOS platform is extremely robust and well polished and thus provides developers and designers the opportunity to really get creative and make truly impressive works of art. So what are phone apps? Now a days iOS app development of different fields like business, entertainment, social networking, shopping, navigation, browsing etc is effectively using in mobile industry. Due to the increasing number of iPhone users, organizations can reach the customers in easy and effective ways via iPhone mobile applications.
We have compiled some iOS apps with new features that the latest iOS version contains.
CoPilot GPS
The free offline route planning and local exploring app allows you to navigate where you need to go without having to rely on your mobile connection. It provides detailed street maps and millions of useful points of interest, as well as the ability to locate local restaurants, stores, gas stations and more using quality 2D maps. But it also allows for an in-app upgrade to get 3D maps and voice-guided navigations.

Now it’s easier than ever to interact with the world’s largest social network. Facebook is one of the world’s most powerful communication tools which is capable of keeping family all over the world in contact. Those people with an iPhone know how great the Facebook application is on the iPhone.

FaceTime
FaceTime now works over cellular networks as well as Wi-Fi, so you can make and receive FaceTime calls wherever you happen to be. You can even make and receive FaceTime calls on your iPhone using your phone number. That means you can use FaceTime wherever you are, on any device. iPhone 5 has a camera on the front — perfectly tuned for FaceTime chatting — and an iSight camera on the back. You can switch between cameras during a call. So whoever you’re chatting with can see you, or they can see what you see.

Sparrow
Regarded by many as one of the best iOS email clients available, Sparrow is designed to provide an easy to use and efficient email system. With full IMAP support, the app is compatible with a wide range of email accounts, displays conversations in threads, and lets you directly attach photos and images when sending messages. You can deal with several email addresses within one account, enabling you to access both personal and business email while still keeping them separate.

Maps
Beautifully designed from the ground up (and the sky down), Maps changes the way you see the world. Map elements are vector based, so graphics and text are incredibly detailed — even when you zoom all the way in — and panning is smooth. Tilt and rotate to view an area, and Maps keeps the names of streets and places where they belong. Get visual and spoken turn-by-turn navigation and real-time traffic updates.

Passbook
Apple just announced a new iOS app on-stage at WWDC called Passbook that aims to store all of your “passes” — a category that includes boarding passes, store cards, and movie tickets. This could be a boon for consumers, but bad news for Square and other startups. The idea is to create one app that replaces a lot of the clutter in your wallet. So you can open up Passbook whenever you need to board a flight, get into a movie, or get a discount at the store — it looks like the passes are mostly, but not exclusively, redeemed using QR codes.
————————————————————
Shared Photo Stream
Now you can share just the photos you want, with just the people you choose. Simply select photos from the Photos app, tap the Share button, choose who you want to share your photos with, and they’re on their way. Friends using iCloud on an iOS 6 device get the photos delivered immediately in the Photos app or iPhoto.
————————————————————
Safari
iOS 6 brings even better web browsing to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch through Safari. iCloud Tabs keeps track of which pages you have open on your devices, so you can start browsing on one device and pick up right where you left off, on whatever device is handy. Safari now saves web pages — not just links — in your Reading List, so you can catch up on your reading even when you can’t connect to the Internet.
————————————————————
Siri
Siri will soon be able do a lot more! She’ll speak more languages and provide the latest scores and stats for games, she’ll provides the latest movie reviews and showtimes and find the best restaurants in town and make reservations!
————————————————————
Vlingo
So iPhone 4S users already have Siri and she’s supposed to get better, but those who don’t have the latest version can get Vlingo for free, which is a voice activated virtual assistant for your iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4. The free download probably won’t be as smart as the newest Siri, but something is better than nothing.

Finally Apple launched iPhone 5. It is taller, leaner, lighter, shinier and packs in much more punch than ever. Apple gave it a completely new avatar made of glass and aluminium. Here are pictures and features of iPhone 5….
The iPhone 5 is Apple’s first smartphone capable of 4G, the super-fast mobile broadband technology that is due to begin in Britain within weeks. Earlier this week, mobile network EE announced plans to launch a 4G service imminently and the iPhone 5 is likely to be one of the handsets available to new customers.

The new Apple iPhone 5 is 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the 4S but runs twice as fast, with graphics that are twice as fast, thanks to a new processor. Apple has also upgraded the camera in the iPhone to include new features such as a low-light mode and a panorama feature. Picture credit: GLENN CHAPMAN/AFP/GettyImages
The smaller ‘Lightning’ connector means the iPhone 5 won’t connect to any existing docks or accessories you may have. For those, Apple will sell you an adaptor at £25. Picture: REUTERS/Beck Diefenbach
One change that will annoy many long-time customers is the removal of the dock connector that Apple has used in its devices since the 2003 iPod. The new connector is 80% smaller but will not work with existing accessories. Picture: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg
With the iPhone, Apple is shipping its new EarPods, designed after digitally scanning hundreds of ears. Picture: Jeff Chiu/AP
Apple also demonstrated iOS 6, its latest mobile operating system. Upgrades to the software include voice navigation for driving, a feature already available on many Android smartphones, as well as Passbook for storing electronic boarding passes, sports tickets and gift cards.

The iPhone 5 ships on September 21 in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Britain. Apple predicts it will sell eight million iPhones in the fourth quarter of this year. Picture: REUTERS/Beck Diefenbach
The iPod touch gets the same increased screen size as the iPhone 5 and, for the first time, comes in a range of colours. The colours make sense in that context and the new iPod touch does look very nice. It has a better camera too and a new processor, which means it can run more powerful apps. Games, in particular, should benefit enormously from the upgrade. Picture: EPA/APPLE
The iPod nano has been redesigned yet again. Now the nano is rectangular again, with a larger touchscreen and seven different colours. Bluetooth is built-in for the first time, as is full support for Nike+, which will be a bonus for those who like to track their fitness progress. Picture: REUTERS/Beck Diefenbach
