    iPhone 3GS Stock Will Halt After iPhone 5, Low Stock Warning by Apple

    Ahead of the iPhone 5 announcement on September 12, Apple has sent a letter to its Genius Bar Employees to halt the iPhone 3GS stock until further notice. Apple has told the employees to lower the iPhone 3GS and make it more reduced. By the time the stock would be reduced, the following services would be offered to the iPhone 3GS owners by Genius Bar employees.

    Swapping out the full iPhone 3GS hardware.

    After making the iPhone 3GS stock level low, Apple tells the store employees to replace the pretentious iPhone 3GS with an iPhone 4 only if the stock is totally out for the iPhone 3GS. This means if the iPhone 3GS not available in the Store, so the employees can offer an iPhone 4 in the place of that broken iPhone 3GS.

    However, the iPhone 3GS has completed full 3 years of success and the time is now over for the iPhone 3GS. The time has come for the iPhone 3GS to diminish from the market. The iPhone 3GS was announced back in 2009. After the announcement of iPhone 3GS, analyst assumed that it would end after the launch of 2012’s iPhone. Therefore, Apple is planning to put an end to the iPhone 3GS. With the launch of iPhone 4S, Apple putted an end to the iPhone 3G Models and now it is time for the iPhone 3GS Models to get off the sales line.

    It is not official that the iPhone 3GS Stock would be ended by Apple after the iPhone 5 or Apple would continue the iPhone 3GS Models because iOS 6 is supported on the iPhone 3GS Models. We ponder that Apple will limit iOS 6 on the iPhone 3GS Limited Stock and then close the iPhone 3GS Stock.

    Even though the iPhone 3GS is selling at $0 with a two years contract in U.S.A. therefore it seems that Apple will end the iPhone 3GS stock after the iPhone 5 launch. After closing the iPhone 3GS stock, Apple might place the iPhone 4 8GB model at the same price of the iPhone 3GS 8GB Model. This means, the iPhone 4 8GB model that accounts for $50 as of now would be available at $0 with a two years contract and the iPhone 4 16GB models would be discontinued. Only iPhone 4 8GB Models would be used for sale.

    This myth of iPhone 4 8GB Model at $0 sounds slightly legit.

    What do you people think over the iPhone 3GS Stock outage and iPhone 4 priced at $0 with a two-years contract? looks good or bad?

  • iPhone 3GS Gears Used in iPhone 5 Leaked Design With a Prevailing Turn

    iPhone 3GS Gears Used in iPhone 5 Leaked Design With a Prevailing Turn

    iPhone 5 release is around the corner and the rumors aren’t cooling down. Today RepairLabs enclosed an iPhone 5 leaked design front component assembly that was leaked few days back. This leaked front panel of the iPhone 5 shows metal brackets similar to the iPhone 3GS pointing out towards a small dock connector. The metal brackets look similar as of the iPhone 3GS, but they will be updated with the latest technology to perfectly fit with the iPhone 5.

    Moreover, the report from RepairLab also notes that the Dock Connector would be smaller because it has to fit between the two silver bottom screws.

    The leaked part also shows a mid-frame made of plastic that is running around digitizer and glass LCD assembly looks familiar as of the iPhone 3GS.

    iPhone_5_leaked_design

    The above shows a clear view of the mid-frame and the three flex cables of the iPhone 5 leaked design. The mid-frame is supposedly made of plastic.

    We believe that Apple is going back to its old iPhone 3GS to make the iPhone 5 out of it. All the iPhone 5 leaked design’s portrayed the same image as shown above, but none showed more clear picture of the iPhone 5 leaked design components like these one. However, the saying “Old is Gold” applies here perfectly in the case of iPhone 5 leaked design.

  • Alleged iPhone 5 4-inch Screen Demoed (Video)

    Alleged iPhone 5 4-inch Screen Demoed (Video)

    This year Apple is going to break the tradition of a 3.5-inch screen and will make a new 4-inch screen for the iPhone 5. This means, we will be seeing an iPhone 5 with a whole new look of a bigger screen than the previous models of iPhone’s. This new bigger screen would carry a new resolution of 1136×640. This new resolution will provide the facility of using vertical space more by the Apps. The iPhone 5 4-inch screen would be taller only and not wider. In deed, the resolution of the upcoming iPhone 5 is already supported by the future of iOS that is in Beta version these days.

    The future of iOS is no other than iOS 6. There is a feature in iOS 6 called automated scaling that automatically scales the Apps on the alleged resolution of 1136×640.

    To be more specific, Macrumors made a video on how a 4-inch iPhone 5 screen on the purported resolution would look like.

    Video:

     

    The above video gives us a clear idea about how the Apps on a 4-inch iPhone 5 would look like. The Games would need an updated to work perfectly on the iPhone 5. Rest everything is seems good on the iPhone 5. However, this isn’t the first time we are seeing a demo of a 4-inch iPhone 5 screen. Few weeks back, we showed you a demo of Ninja Fish, the first iOS game to be demoed on a 4-inch Screen.

    The developer of Ninja Fish used the same resolution that Macrumors used today to portrayed a 4-inch iPhone 5.

    The video demonstration doesn’t mean that the iPhone 5 would carry the same result. The video only adds guesswork regarding the alleged 4-inch display.

    However, Apple will put an end to all the rumors on September 12by unveiling the iPhone 5. Following the iPhone 5 Launch, Apple has planned another Media Event for iPad Mini launch.

    We are left with almost two weeks until Tim Cook with the Team would take the stage to announce the iPhone 5 officially on the Media Event planned on September 12. These two weeks are enough to make one go crazy with all the bombarding’s of the rumors regarding the iPhone 5 Design, panels, and different hardware part leaks. Following the rumors and parts leak, the same French blog that is active in posting rumors about the iPhone 5 today posted a new shots of allegedly leaked iPhone 5 in comparison with the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.

    The images posted by Nowhereelse regarding the iPhone 5 comparison with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS portrays a clearer look about the looks of the iPhone 5. The images clearly show about the design difference between iPhone 5, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS. All these beauties of their time are placed besides each other by iColorOs to portray a clear look of the iPhone 5.

    The iPhone 5 dummy is the same as of the allegedly leaked cases that surfaced the Internet in preceding months. The same dummy of the iPhone 5 has been compared with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS showing the iPhone 5 would be much thinner than both of the iPhone’s would. The iPhone 3GS is the fat lady and the iPhone 4 is the slim one, where as the iPhone 5 is the slimmest one beating out both of the family members with a bigger screen.

    After being compared with each other side-by-side, now comes the turn for the SIM Frames to be compared. The iPhone 3GS carries the same old-fashioned SIM Frame of Large SIM. The iPhone 4 carries a semi-new fashion of Micro SIM and the remaining iPhone 5 is expected to have a Nano SIM card. It is clearer in the picture shown above. Apart from the picture above regarding the Nano SIM Card in the iPhone 5, there have been many rumors and leaks showing the possibility of Nano SIM Card in the iPhone 5. The Technology of the Nano SIM Card is not new.

    The Danish Telecoms are already stocking the Nano-SIM Cards for the upcoming iPhone 5.

    The Lifetrons Digital Display Dual Power Charger is priced at EUR 128.00.

    Our Point of View Regarding Lifetrons Digital Dual Power Charger:

    The member of the team of TechGlued has been using this charger from the preceding week to charge his gadgets. According to him, the charger is nice and good to use. The charging time for his gadgets was different as compared to wall charger. The charger was used mostly in the home to test the charging capacity. However, the charger is made for travelling purpose but can be used internally to charge different gadgets.

    On using this Lifetrons Digital Dual Power Charger, the member of the team was able to charge his Galaxy S III up to 100% with Lifetrons Digital Dual Power charged at its full 99%. The Galaxy S III took the standard time of its charging assumingly 7-hours to 6 hours and got charged fully. The remaining battery of Lifetrons was somewhere between 9%-20%. With this level of remaining battery, he was able to charge another Phone of Nokia (1280) about half and then the battery went to 0% of Lieftrons and it was still charging.

    When referred to the troubleshoot guide of the Lifetrons Digital Dual Power Charger about the 0% charging, it stated that the battery is about to die and put the device on charge.

    Our Recommendations:

    We would recommend this Lifetrons Digital Dual Power Charger for travelers not strongly, because the charger is a little bit difficult to handle in our pockets. The size of the charger is not bad, but the width of the charger is bit big that makes it very little difficult to handle in the pocket to charge the phone on the go.

    The device can be carried very easily on the go, but charging on the go in the pocket would be a bit difficult.

    The best thing about the Lifetrons Digital Dual Power Charger is that it can provide the ease of charging on the go without any hiccups. Over the entire product is good and worth enough to have one for your self.
