Apple’s Tim Cook issue statements Steve Jobs family

Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that

enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.

His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

Tim Cook, to Apple staff: Team, I have some very sad news to share with all of you. Steve passed away earlier today.

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing

human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

New Features Introduced in Apple iOS 5

Another highlight that has been discussed on this year’s Apple event is the iOS5, the newest mobile system that would shake the upcoming Android Ice Cream Sandwich or the Windows Mobile 7.5 Mango. With a new system comes the latest support and innovation applied on various devices such as the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad. Without further adieu, let us check the latest updates on the newest features of the iOS 5.




10. Reminders

Reminders have used to be done in a chronological order only, relying on what you have jotted down previously. The new OS has changed this way of thinking by having reminders be notified and reminded not just by time but also by place, with the use of GPS for instances where you are in a location and your reminders beep you of what you need to accomplish in that specific place. With iCloud, the reminders can also be accessed through different Apple devices.


9. iMessage


You may have been too attached with MMS despite of feeling that this may be too costly for your service and data plans. However, the iOS5 is willing to take that thought off, as the system introduces the iMessage service. With this activated, you can send text messages, pictures, videos, and other files not only on your other Apple devices, but to everyone who has the said devices activated, without the charge. You can even have it done with just one person or with a whole group.


8. Notification Center


Pushing the screen downward is the usual way of reading notifications from other sources or apps. With the new and improved notifications center, you can read everything in one part of the device, where it minimizes disturbance and interruption. Or if you want, you can even choose what notifications appear on that upper section, even when locked.


7. Newsstand


This is a new addition to the app lineup. You no longer need to go to a magazine store just to read your latest magazines and other reading materials, even the daily newspaper. Yes, the Newsstand has everything you read and receive publications from. When you purchase a new subscription, it will be sent to your newsstand. When you receive new issues, it will be updated with the respective cover, just like the real thing.


6. Twitter Integration


No matter what you do, there will come a time that you may think of tweeting it and sharing it to people you know. If that moment comes and you are using an iOS5-enabled device, it would be easy to satiate your twitter finger hunger as you can include photos and other tweets at any application. With just one login, you can keep your tweets active on any application, whether you are surfing the net, using your camera, and even playing YouTube.


5. Safari


The Safari has been projecting website pages in an orderly and organized manner, with speed and performance to match. With the new iOS5 in the works, you can now save the reading list, or websites you are reading, and have it pulled up in any iOS5-supported devices such as the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. You can save it for now and read it later as it gets stored on the cloud.


4. Photos


You may have been living in an era when you needed to have your photos transferred to PC in order to edit, crop, and do other changes on your taken pictures with the embedded phone camera. All of these have changed with the new OS with apps that can crop, rotate, and improve red-eye reduction being done on the device.


3. Camera


Taking the most natural and realistic shots are done in occasions where you are not prepared. With this need, the camera feature included in the iOS5 made the operation even faster than before. In fact, among all the smartphones existing in the market, it has been proven that the camera can activate in 1.1 seconds and 0.5 seconds upon taking things picture after picture, the fastest in the market.


2. Devices Free from PC Connection


You no longer need to have that USB cable ready whenever you need to move and modify some files on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch. With iOS5, almost all operations that are supposed to be done with PC or MacBook connections have been done away. You can now download apps to your device, edit photos, videos, and other files on the same device with no need to have it tied with a PC or laptop.


1. Ease of Update

If you think that it would cost you additional money in upgrading your existing OS to iOS5, think again. Yup, you do not need to spend another dime for an update. All you need to do is to access iTunes, have the device connected to the unit, and just follow the instructions. Simple and neat!

New Features in Apple iPhone 4S

10. Unique Messaging System

It can be challenging to get across other devices without the help of WiFi, especially when you are trying to exchange texts, photos, and videos. However, with the new iMessage, sending these items can be integrated with all iOS5 devices, whether it may be the iPhone, the iPod Touch, or the iPad.


9. Bigger Internal Storage Space


We have seen so many smartphones that have been staying on the 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB mark, whether it may be Android phones or Windows Mobile. However, it is a rare feat for a phone to have an internal 64GB storage, and this is the latest and largest space available on the newest iPhone.


8. Promising Battery Performance


There were projections that the iPhone 4S battery may be on the 1420+ mAh range. Compared to the iPhone 4, it may be a bit lower on standby time and consistent WiFi, but this is all because of a more powerful dual core processor and other demanding specs. However, it still stands out on usage time with 40 hours of nonstop audio or 10 hours continuous video playback.


7. Improved Video Recording


The 8MP rear camera now has the ability to record 1080p HD video quality. But unlike its competition, the iPhone 4S stands out with a new video image stabilization feature, which helps mobile video enthusiasts to get color rich and sharper videos. It also incorporates sensitivity, sharpness, and the ability to take videos on lower light conditions.


6. Better Performing Camera


8 megapixels is all there is to it, as it can be compared with other models. However, what makes the iPhone 4S unique in this aspect is that the pixilation is 60% higher than most models. With a larger f/2.4 aperture and an advanced hybrid IR filter, crispier, sharper, and more accurate images are now possible. With the newest processor, being used on the iPhone 4S; camera preparation time has been shortened down to 1.1 seconds, while shot after shot time delay is only 0.5 seconds, the fastest being found against any other smartphone.


5. Multiple Cellular Network Reach


We have seen the iPhone 4 have two variants to accommodate various markets that have different network connections. Particularly catering to GSM and CDMA networks that are only available in certain parts of the world, the iPhone 4S creates the “world phone” by having multiple network support through antenna data interchange that reacts to both networks, no matter when in the world you are physically located.


4. Adaptation of a Cloud Service


Imagine storing your videos, photos, music, and even other files in a storage that is far away from your computer. This is the latest in storage technology, being provided free by Apple through the utilization of the iCloud. Yes, it can connect not only with the iPhone 4S, but with every Apple device out there: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook, or Mac PC.


3. Boosted by a More Efficient Operating System


Everything that has been mentioned so far all contributes to one system that binds them all. From interfaces to menus, and even other device operations, everything relies on the power of the iOS5. iCloud optimization is just one of the many things that can be operated and controlled by the new mobile phone OS as there are over 200 features that will be utilized for the best mobile experience.


2. An Advanced Voice Recognition Service


One of the most promising features that the new iPhone 4S carries is its advanced voice recognition service in the name of Siri. Somehow opposite to “Iris”, this program does not only operate and open applications by mentioning the exact understood words, Siri goes beyond to understanding even conversational English. You can ask it questions and it can do almost everything from posting reminders to fetching actual and real time information with GPS and apps.


1. More Powerful Processor


The trend of smartphones these days have everything to do with speed and performance output. RAM, GPUs, and ROM are just a few of the supporting elements, but everything relies on the speed of the processor. For the iPhone 4S, it carries a reliable dual core A5 processor at about 1GHz each, quite close to the Samsung Galaxy SII and at par with the Motorola Droid Bionic.
