Apple announces 16GB iPhone - 32GB Coming Soon!

apple_iphone_32gb

After all the rumors and speculations, its finally official, Apple has announced a 16GB iPhone thus doubling the storage capacity. Along with the 16GB iPhone, Apple has also announced a 32GB iPod Touch.

Lets face when Apple launched the 16 GB iPod Touch it was quite imminent that we would soon have a 16 GB iPhone. The 16GB iPhone is priced at $499, in addition to the 8GB iPhone for $399. The 32GB iPod Touch is priced at $499, in addition to the 16GB iPod Touch for $399 and the 8GB iPod Touch for $299.

Though there are no additional features in these models, I hear they will come pre-loaded with firmware v1.1.3, and the good news is that the 32GB iPod Touch will include the $20 software upgrade which adds Mail, Maps, Stocks, Weather and Notes which was announced in Steve Jobs Keynote Address.

iPhone Hacks Are Over After MacWorld 2008

iphone-hacks-macworld-2008I think Apple is pissed at all the hacking that is going on on there equipment. The main reason they want full control is because if a user buys and activated through itunes on an iPhone AT&T plan then Apple recievs about 20% of the bill each month as reiduals. This is a huge loss for Apple if they can’t get their money. So what i think Apple will do is slowley release better features with more updates untill the hacking community cann’t break the code and jailbreak the phones any longer.

In 5 days we will see the next version of the iphone firmware with many new features. Ver 1.1.3 has been leaked but will hackers be able to break the code? So far no one can. I’m sure Apple has done lots of studying on how to release a version that wont be able to be hacked. I sure hope that one day someone can jailbreak this new version but it doesn’t look like it. I myself have a jailbroken iPhone and would really benefit especially from the native SMS mult-recipient message feature.

Apple iPhone Book - iPhone Secrets & Hacks

“The iPhone Book (Scott Kelby, Terry White) This is a great book for learning how to do something with your iPhone. Every page is a self-contained “how to” for a different subject - and no function of the iPhone goes undescribed, with screen shots and exact directions. Some pages also have extra tips or work-arounds for things, like making a slide show with music, that you’d think were already built-in functions. Where there are difference when interacting with a Mac or a PC, these are pointed out too.

The book is divided into chapters for each of the different major functions of the iPhone - web surfing, photos, iPod features, etc. - and oh yeah, I think you can make and receive phone calls on it, too. The organization and complete Table of Contents make it very easy to find exactly the help you’re looking for.

Apple iPhone 1.1.3 New Features Coming Soon!

Finally the Firmware update we’ve all been waiting for folks. This latest leaked update ver. 1.1.3 will include many fixes and cool updates that we all wished for. I’m mostly excited about the multiple SMS texting feature. I’ve tried numerous hacked programs and they jsut don’t seem to compare to apples default program built into the phone.

Still no Picture SMS support!!! (Hopefully very soon)

Well the Apple iphone features that are included in this update are very cool and this is considered a major update.
The edit Home screen icon feature is top-notch (picture shown below)

Although this update is leaked and will probably be released during Macworld in 2 weeks from now, there is currently no way to hack or jailbreak this release. The only way to update is through itunes and Apple will make you use the default AT&T plan and apple default iphone features from the box.

Apple iPhone Multiple SMS & MMS Text Messages Finally!!!

An awesome Application for Text Messaging and SMS has been recently updated and works great. When the iPhone was released i was very sad to find out that i could not send SMS to multiple contacts, forward or delete just that one text message… Good News!

Now the Apple iphone program SMSD will allow you to manage and forward certain messages as well as delete incoming or sent messages.. You can forward messages and send an SMS to a group list now. Finally someone else feels my frustration with apple for the need for this simple SMS application.. I don’t understand why Apple would not include this in the first place. My only guess was that they had trouble figuring out how the ichat style texting would work with multiple recipients.

Apple & AT&T hit with lawsuit over iPhone’s Visual Voicemail feature

Apparently Apple released this feature on the iphone before it was truly ready. Apple iPhone Visual Voicemail is an awesome feature that only AT&T offers right now. Soon i think all cell phone makers & carriers will be using enhanced voicemail features such as apples.

iphoiphone-visual-voicemailAll iPhone plans include Visual Voicemail, an industry first, which allows consumers to see a listing of their voicemails, decide which messages to listen to, then go directly to those messages without listening to previous messages. Just like email, Visual Voicemail on iPhone enables users to immediately and randomly access the messages that interest them most. Unlike most wireless plans that charge additional fees for new features, there are no additional fees for Visual Voicemail.

iTunes 7.5, Works with hacked iPhone!

Apple iTunes

Apple iPhone Extras - Time Invention of The Year

apple Iphone extras - invention of year

I knew that Apple would win numerous awards for this beautiful phone. Look at it and try to compare it with another cell phone that has the same kind of technology. It doesn’t exist. Apple’s iphone will change the cellular phone industry forever as many other companies are trying to make touch screen phones that are similar to iphone. Can they beat Apples gem? We can only wait and see what happens next.

1. The iPhone is pretty
Most high-tech companies don’t take design seriously. They treat it as an afterthought. Window-dressing. But one of Jobs’ basic insights about technology is that good design is actually as important as good technology. All the cool features in the world won’t do you any good unless you can figure out how to use said features, and feel smart and attractive while doing it.
