    // Gradly // Apple, blog, Cloud, iPhone, News, Rumors No Responses

    The Loop reports that Apple has finally confirmed the long-awaited media event. Apple has scheduled a press conference next Tuesday, October 4. that new Apple CEO Tim Cook will deliver the presentation, a first for Cook in his new CEO role.

    According to the invitation received by The Loop, the event will be held on October 4 at Apple’s Cupertino, Calif. campus. The event will begin at 10:00 am PT.

    Apple’s next iPhone is expected to sport a dual-core A5 chip, 1GB of RAM, twice as much as the iPhone 4′s A4 chip. Camera will be upgraded to eight megapixels with a backlit sensor with ability to shoot Panorama photos. Other additions include a Qualcomm Gobi baseband chip that support dual network GSM and CDMA.

    One of the coolest addition that probably will be an iPhone 5 exclusive is the new voice activated feature called Assistant, after Apple’s acquisition of Siri, a search intelligence startup by Nuance technology. The “Let’s talk iPhone” tagline surely hints at this feature.

  • iPhone 5 in September With A5 Chip, 8MP Camera. iPad 3 to Get Higher Resolution Display

    A new report by Bloomberg has backed up rumors from the past few months and says that Apple’s upcoming fifth-generation iPhone will make its debut in September and will boast a stronger chip for processing data and a more advanced camera and will closely resmeble the current iPhone 4 unlike many reports that hinted about a teardrop shaped build, The device will include the A5 processor, the more powerful chip that Apple added to the iPad 2 earlier this year, along with an 8-megapixel camera, up from the 5-megapixel model in the iPhone 4.

    Apple is also said to be testing a new version of the iPad that has a higher resolution screen, similar to the one now used in the iPhone 4. The screen resolution on Apple’s new iPad would be about one-third higher than that of the iPad 2 and will sport a more responsive touchscreen.

    The new iPhone will also come preloaded with iOS 5, which features Notification Center, new camera features, Twitter integration, iCloud support, an updated mail application, a location-based reminders application, iMessages, and much more. iOS 5 previewed earlier in WWDC and will be a unified OS for all Apple mobile devices:

    The new phone will run the iOS 5 operating system Apple previewed at a developer’s conference earlier this month. Codenamed “Telluride,” it will feature already-announced features such as improved messaging and photo-sharing, one person said. It’s also designed to run on all of Apple’s mobile devices, this person said. Until late last year, iPads, iPhones and iPod touches used slightly different versions of iOS.

    And the idea of a cheaper iPhone version seems to be valid after all:

    Apple is also working to finish a cheaper version of the iPhone aimed at attracting customers in developing countries, the people said. This device would use chips and displays of similar quality to today’s iPhone 4, the people said. Apple’s work on a smaller, lower-priced version of the device was discussed by people familiar with the matter in February.

    The next generation iPhone is expected to pack a new cellular chip from the Qualcomm that can support both GSM and CDMA networks.
