The iPhone
offers many of the advanced features found on competing devices, but it also
differs from other smartphones on the market.iPhone is a series of smartphones
developed by Apple Inc.
The iPhone
runs the iOS operating system, or OS. Other smartphone operating systems
include Android, Blackberry, Symbian and Windows. The iOS runs solely on the
iPhone, while other operating systems, such as Android, are available on
multiple brands of cellphones.
The iOS
includes multitasking, folders and tethering that allows other devices to share
the phone’s Internet connection, but similar features are available with other
mobile operating systems as well. One difference is that although iOS can be
“hacked,” it doesn’t allow the same level of customization and programming as
the systems that run other smartphones.
The iPhone
connects to Apple’s App store, which offers thousands of applications for use
on the iPhone. Programmers must use a special set of developer tools to make
the apps, and many have at least a small fee for use. Other operating systems
don’t require the use of propriety software for application development.
iPhone is
very slip and Its hard to believe a phone so thin could offer so many features
in this technical world.
The family of
Apple’s smartphones is growing fast. The iPhone 5 landed with success and there
are already rumors of a new iPhone 5S or an iPhone 6.
The iPhone 5S is
rumored to be a low cost version of the iPhone that will allow Apple to test
the waters in the prepaid market. Additionally, it will allow Apple to appeal
their iPhone to consumers living in countries that are not as well off as the
United States.
Features like
fingerprint security, smarter external sensors, an improved camera, and
non-touch wireless charging are all being talked about.
Most
importantly, though, are the talks regarding Apple offering a more affordable
entry option. This could make for a significant impact on Apple’s share of the
underdeveloped countries mobile markets.
We all know
Apple would love to release the 4.8 inch iPhone 6 in 2013, however it’s just
not a possibility. Manufacturing difficulties will cause a serious delay,
pushing the release date back to 2014.
Apple would
have loved to release the iPhone 6 late this year, likely in October. This
delay will definitely cause a loss in market shares. The delay is due to
Apple’s screen suppliers, they are having issues increasing the size of the
screen from 4 inches to 4.8 inches while maintaining the same functionality we
are used to.
The iPhone
currently uses technology called “in-cell”, allowing the front glass display to
work as a touch screen. Apple’s suppliers are finding it hard to turn a profit
producing bigger displays for the iPhone 6. While a 2013 release date for the
iPhone 6 would have been nice, we won’t be left with nothing. Expect a budget
oriented iPhone to be released this summer, as well as an iPhone 5S which will
be a slightly improved iPhone 5.
