64GB iPhone 5 not happening?

Sep. 12 Apple, iphone, rumor no comments

A 64GB variant has been into rumors before the launch of every iPhone, but it never happened. Sadly, its not happening for iPhone 5 too, a product listing on Vodafone’s website suggests.

Vodafone Sure Signal, a signal boaster for their network, got listed on their website along with list of compatible phones. The website lists four iPhone 5 models, including both Black and White color in 16GB and 32GB variants. It also includes all previous versions of iPhone. Now, this could very well be a presumption from Vodafone, but if they are right Apple’s next generation iPhone would not upgrade in storage capacity. The major specs upgrade rumored for iPhone 5 so far include an 8 megapixel camera and A5 processor (which is used in iPad 2)

The sunnier side is that white iPhone 5 would be available from the launch, which sadly got delayed 10 months during in case of iPhone 4.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 5 in the coming weeks while the phone is rumored to go on sale sometime in October.

iPhone 5 to have voice navigation ‘Assistant’

Jul. 25 Apple, iphone, rumor no comments

An iOS 5 screenshot running on a test device has been unearthed by 9to5mac which shows a new feature called ‘Assistant’. According to the source of this screenshot, Assistant is a voice guided navigation system that would be released with the launch of iPhone 5.

Apple bought Siri in 2010 and Assistant is said to be based on their technology. Siri for iPhone, “your virtual personal assistant” is much more than just voice inputs to the phone. Which means, as an intrinsic feature with the next iOS device the service would offer more than just voice inputs. Assistant would collect users data securely and integrate it with different voice commands to generate results. For example, a user might command ‘plan dinner with friends’, and the Assistant would take user’s location data and search for seat availability in nearby location, book tables and inform ‘friends’ contact group on the device. Ofcourse, the data would be crowd sourced and such execution may be seen in the final iteration of Assistant, after a few updates.

The tipster claims that Assistant is currently in a developmental phase and may not be available by the launch of iPhone 5. But, we certainly hope it does.
