Read OnThere are two types of people in the world: those who follow closely what analysts say and those who couldn't care less. There has been a lot of speculation regarding the next iPhone, whether it will be the iPhone 5S or the iPhone 6, will it be in summer or will it be in autumn, will it come in black and white or will it be multicolored? Canaccord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley believes Apple will move away from its Q3/Q4 launch cycle and adopt a summer announcement policy. Furthermore, he foresees that Cupertino will unveil a “higher-end iPhone” sometime in the June quarter ...

by Michael Fisher | January 3, 2013 9:34 AMRead OnLet's get one thing straight: Apple could offer the iPhone 6 (or "the iPhone 5S," or whatever new name surfaces) in only one color and it would still sell like mad. Apple could title that color "Rotten-Banana Brown" and gave it the scratch-n-sniff odor of old gym socks, and it wouldn't matter. Barring a major cultural revolution, the iPhone will sell very well, no matter what color it is. That's not likely to change in the foreseeable future. That said, the mobile-phone landscape of 2012 was a more vibrant one, spectrally speaking, than ever before. For years mobile-phone buyers were ...

by Anton D. Nagy | January 3, 2013 3:04 AMRead OnWe will soon lose count of how many rumors and reports we've heard about Apple possibly considering to move away from Samsung as its main chip supplier, choosing TSMC instead. The latest such report was dated December 11 and it basically contains the same information as today's bit. However, the Taiwanese Commercial Times report has a just a slightly different approach; rather than talking about Apple's future possible plans, the publication seems to take the move for granted. Apple has allegedly already contacted TSMC which will soon start the production of the A6X chip which is powering ...

by Jaime Rivera | January 2, 2013 10:11 PMRead OnRemember just how bad Maps on iOS 6 was? Well, here's another medal of horror that we can all hang on Scott Forstall's wall. Lot's of iOS customers were reportedly annoyed because the iOS 6 feature "Do Not Disturb" didn't work after the new year began. As it turns out though, the problem is sadly bigger than even Apple expected. According to Apple's new support document, the problem will persist until January 7th. They aren't really specific as to why the bug exists, but just as lots of us weren't woken-up by iOS 5 last year, I guess it's only common to not rely on Apple products every ...

by Jaime Rivera | January 2, 2013 6:56 PMRead OnThere's one thing that's for sure, when it comes to the Pocketnow Crew, no editor is created equal. Some of us live in different countries, and therefore each of us comes from significantly different backgrounds. We all majored in different careers and once you get to know each of us, you'll learn that we all landed in the smartphone or tablet ecosystem to satisfy certain specific and different needs. That's the reason why some of us choose to stick with one platform, others like to switch around every now and then, and some of us are even willing to carry more than one device in order to ...

by Jaime Rivera | January 2, 2013 12:20 PMRead OnWe usually avoid covering topics that have to do with piracy for obvious reasons. Developers have been a key element that has pushed the smartphone ecosystem into what it's become and they deserve to get paid for their work, no exceptions. Now that said, we do know that many of us Jailbroke our iPhones since the early days because there wasn't any multi-tasking or because we couldn't tether our devices even with our unlimited data plans of back in the day. On the other hand, we do know that a lot of other people used Jailbreaking to side-load apps and avoid their civic duty paying for ...

by Jaime Rivera | December 26, 2012 6:23 PMRead On"Welcome to the Dark Side". I'm sure you've already pulled your shiny new iPhone out of the box, and if there's one thing Apple knows how to do, is give you an awesome unboxing experience. I'm sure you're already proud of what you bought and how long it took you to get it. Now the reason why I welcome all my friends to the Dark Side with their new Apple products is because we live in a polarized world. If you were to judge an iPhone by what you read in most publications, you've got the buggiest most scratch friendly phone in the market. Still, once you lift your face from the computer ...

Read OnIt's that time again when we slowly need to get used to writing a new number when mentioning dates; luckily thanks to our smart devices we don't need to go out and look for a 2013 wallet calendar, unless we really want to.

As usual here at Pocketnow we're happy to tell you what we think, and we're excitedly waiting to hear your opinions, in our upcoming series which will contain both 2012 recaps and 2013 predictions.

by Anton D. Nagy | December 18, 2012 3:53 AMRead OnIt is one of those rare cases when Google is releasing an application for a competing platform first but, nonetheless, it is out there and it's called YouTube Capture. We're sure the status quo won't remain like this for long and Android users will get the app very soon, but, until then, you'll have to have an iPhone to get it. The app offers a simple way of shooting videos and uploading them to YouTube, Google+, Facebook, and Twitter, simultaneously. You can also do some basic editing on your iPhone, like color correction, stabilization, trimming, and adding music tracks. Not only that, ...

by Anton D. Nagy | December 17, 2012 5:41 AMRead On"China is a very important market for us and customers there cannot wait to get their hands on Apple products”, said Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. Just how eager were customers in China? Two million units is what Apple announced as sales number for the first weekend the latest iPhone was available in the largest mobile market on the planet. In comparison, five million units were sold in the first weekend of availability in the US. Of course, economically, the Chinese market can't be directly compared to the American landscape. “Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible, ...

Those of you that have gotten lost looking for a Target in a residential area like some of us were fooled recently is now a thing of the past. Google was kind enough to give Apple a pat in the back today, and they've now released their Maps application for iOS. Now, this is not just the return of the previous Google Maps we knew. This is a whole different ball game. It includes Turn-By-Turn navigation and works on the iPhone, though they do mention compatibility with the iPad if you're willing to deal with the ...

by Anton D. Nagy | December 11, 2012 3:33 AMRead OnThere were lots of rumors regarding a possible Apple move in the opposite direction of Samsung as a supplier and TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) has been mentioned in several reports as a viable option for replacing the South Korean manufacturer. The quad-core chips made by the Taiwanese firm are claimed to be more efficient, being built with the 20 nanometers process. A new report has surfaced according to which the rumored switch, slated for late 2013/early 2014, has been accelerated. TSMC could start shipping chips to Apple "starting as early as the second quarter of ...
