8GB iPhone 4 to be released

11:00 PM Technology And Information

Reuters had recently released an exclusive stating that there are high chances that an 8GB version of the iPhone 4 will be released in a few weeks. This comes to a surprise to many because previously, iPhone 4 was available only in 16GB and 32GB respectively.

The 8GB iPhone 4 will be a lot cheaper than the other two versions of iPhones as Apple struggles to gain market that it had once dominated but recently lost to two operating systems: Android and Windows Phone 7. As of date, there is no definite answer for the new price of the iPhone although experts speculate that the price will not go below the $200 line.




Many more speculate that the iPhone 5 will be announced on September although there are no clear dates as to when it would be. The new iPhone 5 will definitely be worth the wait and reports stated that Apple had urged its factories to speed up the production of 45 million units of the new iPhone. With such number of units, there is no telling whether there will still be inadequate supply of the iPhone during its first week of release as this had happened with the release of previous versions of the iPhone.

8:48 PM Technology And Information

Taiwanese supplier to supply LED flashes to Apple for iPhone 5

Apple has gone in for a major shift of its camera and flash features from its regular suppliers to a new Taiwanese supplier. The news came amidst confirmations that Apple iPhone 5 is set to have a disjointed camera and flash, one on either side of the gadget. The company is said to have contacted a firm in Taiwan for LED flashes. This can only mean that the new phone is going to have a remodeled and upgraded camera. Speculations are on that Apple has built over the loopholes in iPhone 4 for its new release. As per sources, production of the phone will probably begin in July.



Apple changes its major camera elements suppliers



The new concept of separating camera and the lens is a move to improve picture quality and to reduce the “red-eye” effect. Apple needed to make changes in its sensor in order to improve its camera function. It is in this regard that it has shifted the order from Philips to a Taiwanese firm. In iPhone 5, it is likely that an eight-megapixel CMOS sensor will be used. The supplier for this element is Omni vision. The decision to use Omni Vision instead of Sony is also a major shift.
