iPhone Next Gen Tech--Displays

Well, recently many patents and rumors have surfaced about the next generation, or any future generation, iPhone. And some are very interesting. The possibilities of these technologies are amazing- mostly in entertainment and media
One rumor is that the outside frame o the iPhone (AKA the bezel) will be a display itself. What could this do?

  • When playing a video, instead of having disrupt the video by touching the screen to change volume and using the pause/play button, you can possibly just touch the outside and change the volume or pause or play the video.
  • When playing a game, the controls don't have to be on the screen, instead they can be on the bezel so it doesn't interrupt the video of the game.
  • Another possibility is that the home button may be removed and the bezel would either have a home button that could change locations or buttons that would appear at certain times.

Another display patent/rumor that has surfaced is a dual eInk/regular display. Kindle has eInk technology, which is older, however it does have multiple benefits

  • Easier viewing in the sun
  • eInk is healthier and less irritating to your eyes
You would still be able to use the display normally however. Imagine if your next iPhone had this. Imagine it jailbroken. Yah.

iPhone 5---------not yet

Apple has a yearly refresh rate for mostly all of their products: iMac, Macbook, Macbook Pro, Apple TV, iPod, iPod Touch, and most importantly....the iPhone. The iPhone started in 2007 and has had a great refresh every year and last year was the biggest revamp of the iPhone. Some people are speculating that there may not be an iPhone refresh this year. No iPhone 5 in the next few months. 
Why? Because every iPhone has been announced at the WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference) since the original iPhone. They announce things for developers. This year, at the WWDC, Apple will probably announce iOS 5 and also will probably release the next big version of Mac OSX, Lion. Lion integrates many of the useful features of iOS back into OSX. A happy median between computers and mobile devices. But this year there has been not enough evidence or rumors to suggest that Apple is ready to release the device this soon. You, probably like me, hope this article was a waste of time, because if not, a lot of iPhone owners are going to be very displeased.

Non Starbucks Joe

Okay I love coffee, and I'm tired of my parents buying this crappy Starbucks stuff. It is BURNT and OVERROASTED, okay I got my point acrossed. Anyway I think I'm going to get a new espresso maker for myself to produce my own drinks. No more overroasted coffee and bad aftertaste. I'm excited. I've HAD espresso makers before but I've given them to my friends when I got my recent coffee maker (amazing) but the coffee we get is crap. Hm. Basically this post is about my opinion of Starbucks sucks, but thats my cup of joe

Hm...Starting Post--Mostly Android/Apple

Lets see...I just started this lets get up to date of whats happened in the tech-world (meh...relatively closed spectrum) lately. Apple: iPad 2 released recently with many improvements from CPU speed and graphics to adding some magnets (yes, magnets...), iPhone 4 one of the best smartphones on the market is on ATT and Verizon now (still no 4g folks), and new updates to the Macbook Pro line with Intel's Sandy-Bridge chips and Thunderbolt (light-peak) technology. Ok, enough about my Apple fan-boyishness. Android: ruling most of the smartphone market because of the wideness of the Android OS and running on many devices constantly updated. I won't lie, Android is taking over the market like when Microsoft and IBM took over. Hm. What else. ATT just proposed a deal to buy T-Mobile USA and eventually over the next year you will probably start to notice improvements if you are on ATT because the networks are merging. That means 95% of the US covered in LTE 4g technology. Okay I got this off my mind. More to come. Well I don't know no one will probably read this anyway I just want to tell the world my ideas and opinions in later posts.
