iPhone 6 in 2014

These days people are talking about how iPhone 6 looks like in 2014.My guess is it will have 6 rows of icons with 5 on each row, max 6x5=30 per screen. The reason is iPhone 4 with 4 rows, iPhone 5 with 5 rows, now iPhone 6 with bigger screen should have 6 rows to look perfectly. 

I am looking forward to getting an iPhone 6 in 2014.

Happy Mew Year!

iWatch

Very nice to know Apple will create this iwatch with wireless and remote charging which will bring more people to get iwatch since it is easy for everyone to have iwatch with full of power. 

Timer says iwatch only comes with small battery(100 mwh). But it will charge when it is close to any charger in 1 meter range. The charging happens automatically without your notice. My coworkers seating next my cubicle can share my charger and charge their iwatches at same time. What a wonderful idea from Apple. You can image how many iwatch Apple will sell because of this. 

Retina iPad mini is on market today!

So glad to see Apple starts to sell Retina iPad mini today. It is the same as iPad Air, just smaller, lighter and cheaper. Many people will buy it in this holiday season. Comparing to iPad, it is easier to carry around.

We got our iPad mini last year about this time. We really enjoy it.

Few days ago, we traded in our first generation iPad in Target. We are going to get an iPad Air or Retina iPad mini with the trade in gift card.

iPhone 6

People are talking about iPhone 6 now.

The screen will be larger. It may be in shape of curve. From picture in web, people can put 6 rows of apps on the screen easily. So, iPhone 6 will have 6 rows of apps, while iPhone 5 got 5 rows, iPhone 4 got 4 rows. 

New iPad Air is Great!

I went to local Apple store this morning to try out iPad Air. It is great iPad. There is a short line outside of store. On a table at the end of the store, new iPad are stacked there in groups. I can see about 200 iPad in about fifteen groups. Guess tomorrow it will be crowed here.

Having iPad Air in hand, I feel the light weight and little bit smaller in size.

My iPhone 4 is working again!

I am so glad to get my iPhone 4 working again.

September last year, when I tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 6, I got -1 error. I tried many times to restore it and went to Apple store few times, still cannot make it work. I had to get an iPhone 4S since iPhone 5 was too hot to get and I could not wait.

Within this year, I tried different ways and many time to make my iPhone 4 work, but not successful. When iOS 7 came few weeks ago, I tried to restore my iPhone 4 with it. The -1 error was gone. But I still got an error without number. 

Yesterday, I like to try my luck with iOS 7.0.2 and restored my iPhone 4 successfully! It is working now and running iOS 7.0.2!

Updated ebook Hot Air Balloons

I just took some new pictures in a hot air balloon festival last month. I updated my ebook with new pictures and video. Now, this new version of ebook "Hot Air Balloons" is available in Apple's iBookstore.

Pictures from Yellowstone National Park

This summer, we visited this national park again. I took a lot of pictures and videos there. I had this ebook in my plan when I was there. I want to create the best ebook with a lot of pictures about Yellowstone. I really enjoyed this fruitful visit and had a lot of fun there with my family.

Now, this new ebook is published in Apple's iBookstore. Any one with iPad can enjoy this book. Soon, people with a Mac can read it too. At this point of time, I make this book free to let more people to enjoy this national park and the book I created for them. I wish I go Yellowstone again in different season and add more pictures and videos to this book.

iPhone 5c preordered

We preordered an iPhone 5c today. Why iPhone 5c does not have black color? Guess Apple is trying to refer people want black color iPhone to get iPhone 5s instead of iPhone 5c.

I am looking at Apple web site today, the front page is all about iPhone 5c. Of course, today we can only preorder iPhone 5c not iPhone 5s. Like people said "Since the iPhone 5c uses similar innards to the iPhone 5, Apple should have no problem keeping up with demand for the device. ". It is great for people like us to get iPhone 5c. That is why people are saying "Apple will sell a lot of iPhone 5c in a month." It is great for Apple, too.

iPhone 5c

Yesterday, Apple showed us iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and iOS 7.

"The 5c will be everywhere, in all five bright colors." I like iPhone 5c as my next phone. I may get a blue color iPhone 5c.

There is no big difference inside iPhone 5c and iPhone 5. Make it colorful, Apple will have people getting iPhone even with the same inside staff. Very smart!

iPod Touch is Great

We bought two iPod Touch in Sept and Christmas of 2009 as our first two Apple products; and enjoy it since then. We passed one iPod Touch to a relative as gift to share the joy. We still keep and use another one till today even we got an iPhone about two years ago.

Today, Apple told us there 100 million iPod Touch sold and a new generation of iPod Touch(without rear camera and lower price) got into market.

It is great to have iPod Touch.

3 Years with iPad

We are still using and enjoying our iPad bought three years ago.

Although iOS 6 cannot be installed in this first generation of iPad, it works well for most of apps. When we visit cultofmac.com web site with this iPad, sometimes browser quits.

We got an iPad mini last year. It is joyful with all these Apple products.

iWatch?

These days, people are talking about iWatch Apple may have as new product this year.

As we look at Apple's current products, we can expect this new iWatch will be a powerful and fun product which connects to more powerful products such as iPhone, iPad mini, iPad and even iPod Touch. They will work together and give us more fun and joyful experience. People will buy iWatch along with other Apple's products.

iWatch may have:
Wireless charge
NFC chip
Remote controlled by iPhone


I like to wait and get an iWatch made by Apple instead of other watches such as Pebble Watch since iWatch will work with Apple product well.
