The Largest Selling Smartphone in USA Irrespective of Some Flaws

iphoneSince the release of the iPhone 5 and iOS 6, Apple has received mixed reviews for its new operating system as well as the iPhone 5 design.

But it has turned out to be the most popular smartphone in US, Apple has managed to gain around 48% of US market share from the iPhone5. Despite of some faulty applications, iPhone is still popular in US.

New features like a faster processor, taller screen, and slimmer design have definitely played a crucial part in driving the iPhone’s success to nearly half the share in the United States.

Surveys reveal that customer loyalty is also the reason behind Apple’s profound hold on the US market.

Besides the hardware updates, there are other features like Siri, cloud integration with the safari, and Facebook photo-sharing integrations, which works seamlessly with the device.

As expected, the Retina Display is pretty staggering and the A6 chip has improved the performance and speed to a great deal.

With the introduction of iOS6,iPhone application developers have found a better opportunity to explore more features and customization of their codes.

Since its first release, developers around the world are trying to develop applications for iOS6. The Retina display, taller screen, and faster A6 processor allow developers to create stunning applications with high-resolution images and complex functionalities.

Even though Apple’s Map App is filled with flaws and still remains unfixed, it seems to have no effect on iPhone lovers in the US. They solved the problem by using Google Maps instead of Apple’s native navigation app.

There is also Samsung Galaxy S3 which was launched recently in May 2012 and available at most of the Smartphone vendors. So which one are you choosing? Apple has witnessed doubled pre-orders for its new iPhone after the launch although critics don’t think Apple came up with a revolutionary iPhone as expected. Rather they praise the Galaxy S3 which has some improved features as compared to iPhone 5. So let’s make a comparison between the two and you judge.

Here you go:

In summary, both the devices are competitive and possess different advantages.  Users need to match their needs and pick accordingly. At the same time, iPhone application development and Android application development both are improving day by day.

New iPhone 5 Is Big With A Small Wow Factor

As soon as Apple CEO Tim Cook winded up his updated product metrics talk on the stage. Marketing chief Phil Schiller went up to introduce the new product and its features.

With iPhone application development on the rise and Apple winning the recent patent case, iPhone 5 has gained enough hype among iPhone lovers around the world.

With the body of Glass and Aluminum, its now much lighter weighing about 3.95 ounces in total. Some of the key features which are improved in this new iPhone are:

  • Retinal display stretched from 3.5 inches to 4 inches which gives users and iOS developers some extra space to play around
  • 8MP Camera with backside illumination, in-built panorama mode and smart noise filtering
  • Three in-built microphones for improved in-voice assistant Siri
  • Apple’s new A6 processor which is double fast than other processors
  • Long battery support; and it can stand more than 8 hours of 4G browsing
  • New dock connector called “Lightning” and designer earpods

After looking over these features, you can say that they are evolutionary, but you surely would be looking for a WOW factor which lacks in iPhone 5. Most of these technologies or features are somehow available with Android or other smartphones.

Apple has launched the iPhone 5 to give over the edge competition to companies like Samsung, and other seller in market. The new iPhone 5 will be on sale in nine countries from 21 September onwards. It will be reaching to 240 countries by this year end.

Apple iPhone 5 And iPad-Mini: Rumors Or Truth

Lately there are rumors about the iPhone 5 is being under development to have a year end release. If the rumors are true then it will surely bring an excitement among iPhone application development industries.

With marginal improvement to iPhone 4, Apple launched the iPhone 4S in 2011 with voice recognition system Siri and a cloud storage service iCloud. Based on the iOS 5.1.1, iPhone 4S acts as hotspot by sharing its internet connection over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB and also users can access the App Store.

A reports say that a Taiwan based manufacturer is assigned with the development of iPhone 5 and the manufacturing process is under way. As per the rumors, the new iPhone will have the back of both glass and aluminum. The most debated features that the iPhone 5 may have are: 7.9 mm thickness, Retinal display, near field communication technology, Passbook feature from iOS and a quad core process in hardware configuration.

Above all these there is also a possibility that iPhone 5 will come with a 19 pin dock connector instead of the current 30 pin connector, to include the headset jack aside. If this happens all the old dock connectors available with current versions will be useless.

Apart from iPhone 5, there are also rumors about an iPad Mini(a smaller version of iPad) will be launched in near future. As per anonymous resources its been claimed that the new iPad Mini will have a screen size of smaller than 8 inches compared to 9.7 inches of iPad. The third generation tablet iPad3 has major features like high resolution Retinal display, 5 MP iSight camera. And it will come with iLife and iWork apps.

If Apple is taking majors to develop iPad Mini or any similar product, hopefully most of these features or some better features will be incorporated into it. As per reports the iPad Mini will be launched during Christmas season of this year. But again there is no official announcement from Apple about these rumors. If iPad Mini is under development then it will surely give tough competition to Google’s recently released tablet Nexus 7.
