Apple Kicked iPad 3 Off the Charts and Replaced iPad 4 Instead

Few hours back, the Tech Giant Company of Cupertino announced something that made the fans go mad, broke the heart of some people, and made many say, “WTF”. The same tech giant that used to rule the world since 2011 made the biggest mistake that they could ever make. The same tech giant who was the favorite of many and many of the people would used to line up outside the store to get the same alleged product after it was announced. The name of that tech giant is none other than Apple. Following Apple like a religion, we told you weeks back that on October 23, Apple is to announce many lineups of new products and some updates.

The series of new products included iMacs, MAC Mini, MAC Book Pro Retina 13, and the iPad Mini. The updates included the iPad with a lightning dock, iOS 6.0.1, and iTunes 11. Unfortunately, we didn’t see iTunes 11 and iOS 6.0.1; instead, we saw a new iPad with lightning dock called the iPad 4^th Gen. when the name, iPad 4^th Gen was called out, million of fans and people watching the event went into deep shock. Especially, those who bought the iPad 3 few days back or the day before or within the start of this month, every one expected iPad refreshments would be made next year and not this year.

Apple had something different in their mind. They released an iPad 4 the same year they released the preceding iPad 3 (The New iPad), but in different months. This might sound crazy or logic less, after all its Apple. We cannot say anything to the fruit company because they have also entered in the race to beat Samsung by introducing new products after few months. They are following the same pattern of Samsung.

However, coming to the point, today when Apple announced the iPad 4 and the Apple’s website came back to life, something strange happened. Something that is going to blow of your minds and you people is going to say a big “WTF” to Apple. This something was found by our Editor while surfing Apple’s website and seeing the comparison list of the iPads to see how does the iPad 3 compares with the iPad 4.

When we went into the comparison section, we could only find three different models of the iPad. This was something strange because Apple got four different version of the iPad rolling out currently. The four different versions are the iPad 2, The New iPad, the iPad Mini, and the iPad 4 Gen. when we scrolled down to processor list and found out that A5X named processor has been kicked out of the list and instead of the A5X Processor, there was a new name of A6X that came out today.

After introducing the Apple iPad 4, Apple simply kicked the iPad 3 out of the comparison list and named the iPad 4 with the same name of the iPad 3 that is iPad with Retina Display. This was a nice move by Apple.

You can see the comparison list from here.

What do you guys think about this nasty move by Apple?

Apple to release iOS 6.0.1 Along with iPad Mini (Rumor)

The iPad Mini Media Event is just around the corner and we are hearing that Apple is internally testing iOS 6.0.1 with the U.S carriers. This new version of iOS 6.0.1 got unknown issues fixed. As for now, we can say that the issues that will be fixed in this new update would be of Keyboard, Passbook, folders, and many numerous bugs that the users were facing after the release of the iOS 6. We told you about to expect an update of iOS 6.0.1 few days back that can be viewed over here.

Today, BGR reliable sources told them about this mysterious update by saying that Apple is currently testing this iOS 6.0.1 update internally with the carriers to resolve some issues with Cellular Networks. Other than the fix for Cellular Data, the issues with Wi-Fi, Camera Flash, Passbook, and Exchange would be solved as well. The issue with Camera Flash maybe occurring for some of the people that the flash wont turn off after taking the pictures with the help of flash.

In addition, the new software will improve Wi-Fi support, fix cellular data not working in some cases, add a consolidated cellular data switch for iTunes Match, fix a bug that allowed access to Passbook pass details from the lock screen, and also finally fix the bug that caused Exchange meetings to be unexpectedly cancelled for the entire calendar invite group.

A part from the above-mentioned bugs by BGR, we also got an issue with the iOS 6 settings. We found this issue when we were playing with pass-code option and accessibility options. When ever we used to put in pass-code from the accessibility option, in order to lock some apps or put on restrictions, the Settings.app used to crash. The crash used to take place twice and the third time it works normally. Other than this, we also heard some iPhone 5 users complaining about the lagging issue on their iPhone running iOS 6. And sometimes the Apps used to hang that enforced them to restart the iPhone 5.

If you are one of those victims who have been facing these issues, don’t worry there is an update coming your way. Just bear with the issues for the time being.

Google’s October 29 Event Plan Leaked Stating OS 4.2, Nexus 10 & More

The month of October 2012 is going to make history. This month is going to be a very special month because competitors will be going head to head on innovative product releases following each other after one another. The tech giant companies are going to announce the new product lineups after one another. The companies have sent out Media Invites after one another. The events are placed one after another. This one after another are the well-known companies and every one knows them. The first Tech Giant is the Fruit Company, Apple and the second company is Google. These two companies will go head to head this month by releasing new and innovative products.

The preceding week, Apple issues October 23 Media Invites saying, “We ‘ve Got A little More To Show” and six days Later Google jumped in saying, “The Play Ground is Open” on October 29. The Media Event planned by Apple is just around the corner, where as the Google’s Media Event is still a week away. The Media Event by Google will take place in New York after exactly six days after the Apple Media Event. This is the point where the real competition starts. Apple will release iPad Mini along with many new refreshments and some updates. Later Google got the Play Ground open in which they would be announcing real time product lineups and updates.

However, Google has been educating its Employees regarding the upcoming Media Event and the products that are planned for the release on October 29. This information was told to The Next Web by an anonymous source. Not only the information regarding the event was told to The Next Web, but every single thing that can come on the October 29 Media event was also unveiled.

Lets start with the first thing that we also reported in the preceding rumors that we could expect on this Media Event by Google.

Android Jelly bean OS 4.2.1

When we gave you the news about the upcoming Media Event by Google on October 29, we told you about the rumors that Google might announce a software update of its existing Jelly Bean 4.1.

This rumor is now confirmed that Google will be unveiling a software update of OS 4.2.1 in which they will introduce new design of Play Market, Multiple user accounts on the same device, and improved Panorama photo experience.

On the other hand we also told you to expect some hardware entry because Google has got the Play Ground open that means Google will be on the roll for the new product announcements.

LG Nexus 4 & Nexus 7

On the hardware side, we can expect many new products that are lined up for October 29 Media Event. The first product that we can expect to arrive is LG Nexus 4 which has made an appearance on the internet so many times that Google thought to announce it in real time on the Media Event. Following the LG Nexus 4 launch, Google Nexus 7 with increased storage capacity from 16GB to 32GB will also be unveiled.

Both the devices are said to be running Android OS 4.2 built in. Moreover, the LG Nexus 4 will feature a quad-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor, 4.7-inch 1280 x 768 display, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, an 8-megapixel rear-camera, 1.3-megapixel front-camera, and a 2100mAh battery. Above is the image of alleged LG Nexus 4 design.

Google Nexus 10

Finally, yet importantly, it is widely expected that Google will be bashing up the iPad Mini unveiling by announcing an upgraded Nexus version from 7-inch to 10-inch. This new updated stream of Nexus 10 will feature an Android 4.2, 2560X1600 resolution and have a PPI (pixels per inch) of around 300. The codename of Nexus 10 is “Manta”. Google has been using this codename internally.

However, we are skeptical about the above-mentioned releases and cannot confirm anything coming on the Media Event rather than the update of OS 4.2.1 named “Key Lime Pie”. Everything will become known on October 29.
