T-Mobile is officially on the path to a merger with MetroPCS. The two last place (4th and 5th, respectively) carriers have reported losing up to 700,000 subscribers last year on the launch of the iPhone 4S. T-Mobile has made efforts to appeal directly to users of unlocked iPhones with inexpensive plans and support, but having an unlocked iPhone is…
If you thought all those dull lessons in chemistry class would serve you no purpose, I’m about to prove you wrong. Sort of. HealthyStuff.org and iFixt combined to run a series of tests on a list of 36 smartphones from the modern age. On the list are a few of our favorites: iPhone 2G, 3G, 4, 4S and the most recent, iPhone 5. The aim was to find out which…
Detroit Borg, a tech channel on YouTube has released a fantastically thorough comparison video showing the performance difference between the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S. Within the video, the host compares various benchmark scores as well as running some real-life app performance tests. Both phones are loaded with the same apps, settings etc. I have to…
Tree Clouds iPhone 5 Tree Clouds iPhone 4S A few days back I posted a few comparison images in a gallery, showing the difference between the latest iPhone’s snapper, and the previous one. In terms of detail, there was little difference. However, color saturation and contrast levels were much higher on the iPhone 5, giving the new camera’s images a…
Love photography? Love your iPhone? You will probably love this new case then. Manfrotto, a photography accessory company, has just come out with a case it is calling KLYP. Attached to the case is a mini tripod and an external multi-LED flash. The case that all this attaches to is a thick piece of plastic to provide some protection to your “camera.” New…
One of the iPhone 5′s “bigged up” features during the keynote was its new, smaller camera unit. Which – although 25% smaller than the iPhone 4S’ camera, still offered a higher ISO, and better lowlight capturing. At least, that’s what Apple claimed at the time. So, I took the two out for a shoot-out to see what the differences were. Both are 8MP, backside…
We all love our iPhones. For 5 years they’ve been our loyal companions, and as each year goes by, they continue to improve. The latest incarnation of Apple’s most successful device has been met by mainly positive reviews, but how does it fare against the five phones that reigned before it? Well, Everything Apple Pro posted a video on YouTube that gives us…
When the iPhone 4 leaked (thanks to Gizmodo) in 2010, I hoped and prayed that it wasn’t the final design. Immediately I spotted that this square, flat design in front of my eyes was going to lack the curves that made my 3GS so comfortable to hold. I wasn’t wrong. The 4th generation iPhone killed off one of the reasons that I loved iPhone so much. I got…
Almost as soon as the iPhone 5 was released on Friday, stories emerged of customers having scratched backs on their brand new devices. Some – like Taylor from Phonedog – received a scratched unit right out the box. There is one simple reason for all the easy scratch nature of the 6th generation iPhone: it’s anodized aluminum, not glass. As a material,…
Over at PCMag.com earlier today, a list of numbers and figures were published showing just how well the iPhone 5 performs against its competition and against older iPhones. In almost every category and test, the iPhone smokes its competition. Just goes to show, you don’t need to boast about specs to have a great device. The most recent benchmark to make the…
