With the Arrival of LTE on the iPhone 5 the LTE Era Has Began
LTE arrives on the iPhone. With Apple making LTE available for iPhone 5s in the Philippines, I think it is safe to say that the LTE age has arrived. Getting LTE on your postpaid smart iPhone is as easy as applying the latest iOS 6.1 update. Your unlimited data plan, become a unlimited LTE data plan. No word from Globe, but I was told during Globe iPhone launch that Globe iPhone data plans would also automatically become LTE data plans. With the Apple iPhone now having LTE, this now gives you a wider choice on LTE handsets since you now have both iOS and Android options. The Apple iPhone 5 joins the Huawei Ascent P1, Sony Ericsson Xperia V and ZTE T82 as the Philippines first LTE capable phones.
Why place so much emphasize on LTE support for the iPhone 5? When it comes down to the mobile handsets that have the consumers mind share, it really comes down to three models: the Apple iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung Galaxy Note II. For so long as all three handsets in the Philippines did not have LTE, phones with LTE were largely ignored.
Now that the Apple iPhone 5 has LTE active, it truly becomes a cutting edge handset, which will have an incremental upgrade later this year. No matter how much you like the large beautiful Super AMOLED displays and quad core processors on the Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung Galaxy Note II, they feel like last years handsets soon to be replaced by a LTE capable model, or by a whole new model all-together.
0.4-inches from greatness. The other beneficiary of LTE arriving on the is the Sony Xperia V, which is an excellent smartphone. The problem with the Xperia V is that it came with a 4.3-inch display when the Android standard for a flagship phone was a 4.7-inch or larger screen. With the Apple iPhone 5 toting LTE, the Sony Xperia V becomes its only equivalent competitor. LTE will allow the Sony Xperia V to arise from the large shadow cast by Samsungs Galaxys.
Carrier wars. The Apple iPhone 5 will bring greater public awareness of what LTE is, than all of the marketing that Smart and Globe have poured in for the past one and a half years. With greater public awareness, the fight for which is the best network will focus on which network has the wider LTE coverage.
Rappler has a updated list of Globe Telecom LTE locations and has confirmed download speeds as fast as 35 Mbps:
- Manila Golf and Country Club, Forbes Park
- The Residences, Greenbelt 1
- Rockwell Nestle; Palanan Avenue; Rockwell Condominiums
- Along Ayala Ave. Ext. going to Kamagong St., Along Ayala Ave. Ext. going to Gil Puyat Ave.
- Towards Ayala Ave. going to Buendia; towards Ayala Avenue going to Edsa; towards Dela Rosa
- EDSA; South Luzon Expressway (SLEx); A. Arnaiz Ave.; Bangkal
- Jupiter St.; Kalayaan; Bel-Air 1 Village; Bel-Air 2 Village
- Gil Puyat Ave.; Bel-Air 2 Village; Salcedo Village
- Pasong Tamo Extension; Dasmarinas Village
- H.V. dela Costa St.; Valero St.; Salcedo Village
- Indoor coverage - Manila Peninsula Hotel, Makati
- McKinley Road; Forbes Park; Dasmarinas Village
- Indoor coverage - Makati Medical Center
Smart LTE is now available in eleven cities. Displaying a list would be too long, and it would be easier to simply display them on maps.

With the LTE era having began, it looks like Globe and Samsung are caught playing catchup.

The Apple iPhone 5 What the iPhone 4S should have been
Apple has just announced the new iPhone 5. Unlike last years launched where all the rumors were wrong, this time around, all the rumors were dead on:
4-inch, 640 x 1136 display resolution - The new iPhone has a larger 4-inch display which migrates to the 16:9 aspect ration, the same as aspect ration as HD (720 x 1280) and Full HD (1080 x 1920), which makes the new iPhone display more optimized for playing video content.
The display is a sharp 326 ppi, altough Apple did not focus on this too much as it is not as sharp as the 4.3-inch 720p (720 x 1280) display with a 354 ppi on the Sony Xperia S. But I doubt anyone can tell which of the two is sharper. Apple has confirmed that App will have to be updated to run on the new display, and we are pretty confident that App Developers will do so shortly. This result in all older versions of the iPhone as obsolete.
7.6 mm thin and 112 grams in weight - Following current trends the new iPhone is thinner, at 7.6 mm, which is pretty impressive being 0.2 mm thinner than the HTC One S. While the iPhone 5 is a lot thinner than the 9.3 mm iPhone 4S, I do not think users will notice that much.
The really welcome change is in the weight now at just 112 grams. The older iPhone 4 and 4S were heavy for their size at 140 grams. The iPhone 5 now has a larger display at a much lighter weight.
The appearance is similar to the iPhone 4/4S, but the phone is now taller with an aluminum back instead of glass.
HSPDA+ 21.1 Mbps, DC-HSDPA and LTE. One area where the iPhone 4S disappointed was the 14.4 Mbps radio. This was fine is the US where no US carriers were running faster than HSDPA 14.4 and LTE. Philippine carriers do use HSDPA+ 21.1 towers.
LTE has also finally come to the iPhone. No surprises, but no disappointments either.
1 GB of RAM and new A6 chip. The 1 GB of RAM is double of the 512 MB of the iPhone 4/4S. Not too many details on the new processor but is has migrated to the 28 nm or 32 nm process as expected, which should result in improved battery life. Apple specifications place the battery life at the same level as the iPhone 4S. The processor is supposed to be twice as fast as that one found on the iPhone 4S.
Improved faster 8MP camera - The new 8 MP camera has a faster f/2.4 lens and also focuses and takes shots faster. Best to wait for the comparisons, but it does now add new features like Panorama mode.
Well, that is what I know of the new hardware for now. Nothing earth shattering but nothing disappointing. Whatever version of iPhone you current own, the iPhone 5 is a worthwhile upgrade. Once Apps are ported over to the iPhone 5, they probably wont be optimized for the older 2:3 displays on the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4/4S.
Android owners will see nothing innovative in the Apple iPhone 5. Like I said, it is what the 4S should have been,

Some Tips To Extent Your iPhone Battery Life
Anyone who’s used an iPhone for even a few days has discovered that while these phones are more powerful, and more fun, than perhaps any other cell or smart phone, one place they don’t excel is battery life. Any halfway intensive iPhone user will recharge their phone almost every couple of days.
There are ways to conserve iPhone battery life, but many of them involve turning off services and features, which makes it a choice between all the cool things that the iPhone can do and having enough juice to do them.
Here are tips to help you extend your iPhone battery life:
1. Turn on Auto-Brightness
The iPhone has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen based on the light around it (darker in dark places, brighter when theres more ambient light) to both save battery and make it easier to see. Turn Auto-Brightness on and you’ll save battery because your screen will need to use less power in dark places.
Find it in the Settings app -> Brightness & Wallpaper -> Auto-Brightness On
2. Reduce Screen Brightness
You can control the default brightness of your iPhone screen with this slider. Needless to say, the brighter the default setting for the screen, the more battery it requires. Keep the screen dimmer to conserve more of your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper
3. Turn Bluetooth Off
Bluetooth wireless networking is especially useful for cell phone users with wireless headsets or earpieces. But transmitting data wirelessly takes battery and leaving Bluetooth on to accept incoming data at all times requires even more juice. Turn off Bluetooth except when you’re using it to squeeze more juice from your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Bluetooth -> Move Slider to Off
4. Turn Off 3G/4G
The iPhone 3G and later models can take advantage the speedy 3G and 4G LTE cellular phone networks. Not surprisingly, using 3G, and especially 4G LTE, requires more battery life to get the quicker data speeds and higher-quality calls. It’s tough to go slower, but if you need more battery, turn off 3G or LTE and just use the older, slower networks. Your battery will last longer (though you’ll need it when you’re downloading websites more slowly!).
Find it in Settings -> General -> Cellular -> Slide Enable 3G to Off on some models or Enable LTE to Off on the iPhone 5 or newer
5. Keep Wi-Fi Off
The other kind of high-speed network that the iPhone can connect to is Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is even faster than 3G, though it’s only available where there’s a hotspot (not virtually everywhere like 3G). Keeping Wi-Fi turned on at all times in hopes that an open hotspot will appear is a sure way to drain your battery life. So, unless you’re using it right this second, keep Wi-Fi turned off.
Find it in Settings -> WiFi -> Slide to Off
6. Turn Off Location Services
One of the coolest features of the iPhone is its built-in GPS. This allows your phone to know where you are and give you exact driving directions, give that information to apps that help you find restaurants, and more. But, like any service that sends data over a network, it needs battery power to work. If you’re not using Location Services, and don’t plan to right away, turn them off and save some power.
Find it in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Slide to Off
7. Turn Data Push Off
The iPhone can be set to automatically suck email and other data down to it or, for some kinds of accounts, have data pushed out to it whenever new data becomes available. You’re probably realized by now that accessing wireless networks costs you battery life, so turning data push off, and thus reducing the number of times your phone connects to the network, will extend your battery’s life. With push off, you’ll need to set your email to check periodically or do it manually (see the next tip for more on this).
Find it in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> Fetch New Data -> Slide to Off
8. Fetch Email Less Often
The less often your phone accesses a network, the less battery it uses. Save battery life by setting your phone to check your email accounts less often. Try checking every hour or, if you’re really serious about saving battery, manually. Manual checks means you’ll never have email waiting for you on your phone, but you’ll also stave off the red battery icon.
Find it in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> Fetch New Data -> Select Your Preference
9. Auto-Lock Sooner
You can set your iPhone to automatically go to sleep – a feature known as Auto-Lock - after a certain amount of time. The sooner it sleeps, the less power is used to run the screen or other services. Try setting Auto-Lock to 1 or 2 minutes.
Find it in Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock -> Tap your Preference
10. Turn off Equalizer
The iPod app on the iPhone has an Equalizer feature that can adjust music to increase bass, decrease treble, etc. Because these adjustments are made on the fly, they require extra battery. Turn the equalizer off to conserve battery. This means youll have a slightly modified listening experience - the battery savings might not be worht it to true audiophiles - but for those hoarding battery power, its a good deal.
Find it in Settings -> Music -> EQ -> Tap off
11. Do Less-Battery-Intensive Things
Not all ways to save battery life involve settings. Some of them involve the way you use the phone. Things that require the phone be on for long periods of time, or use a lot of system resources, suck the most battery. These things include movies, games, and browsing the web. If you need to conserve battery, limit your use of battery-intensive apps.
12. Sleep and Wake Less
Constantly putting your phone to sleep and waking it up will drain battery life. Of course these functions are common parts of using the phone, but you can also be judicious in your turning on and off of the phone and save battery life at the same time.
If all else fails, just get more battery. A few accessory makers like mophie and Kensington offer extended life batteries for the iPhone. If you need so much battery life that none of these tips help you enough, an extended life battery is your best bet. With one, you’ll get days more standby time and many hours more use.
14. iPhone 4S & iOS 5: Turn Off Other Location Settings
Use this tip if your iPhone 4S or devices upgraded to iOS 5 are burning through battery life too quickly. Its probably a software bug, so Apple may fix it and this tip may go away, but in the meantime, here it is.
A number of additional location services introduced in iOS 5 seem to be draining battery too quickly. Turn them off and you should regain some battery life.
Find it in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services -> Turn off Diagnostics & Usage, Location-Based iAds, and Setting Time Zone
iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S Pictures Concept Best iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S leaked Pictures
1.
Rumours of Apple working on a cheaper iPhone model have been in circulation for quite some time now, with analysts claiming such an approach is the only way the company can ensure growth in its mobile business. It’s unclear whether or not Apple will heed this advice, but if it does we’d expect to see some sort of differentiation between the iPhone Mini and the company’s traditional flagship. If it does could we be looking at something similar to this?
2.
A more premium-looking iPhone with an edge-to-edge Retina Display, this concept is one of the best-looking we’ve seen to date, tying in well with Apple’s current design language but adding enough alterations – slimmer overall build, a softer more rounded shape – to really set it apart from the iPhone 5.
3.
This is the from the same designer as the previous images and is designed to show how a larger black iPhone 6 model and a smaller iPhone 5S would look next to the current iPhone 5 model. Overall, the concept shows a smarter, sleeker-looking handset, one that no longer features a Home button and appears to be a lot slimmer. We hope the actual device ends up looking something like this – take note Jony Ive.
4.
n iPhone with a 3D projector sounds nuts but Apple does have a patent for this type of technology, which means we could see it implemented inside a handset at some point. It’s not the first time we’ve see a concept like this either. Earlier in the year a video appeared of an iPhone with a holographic keyboard and the ability to project a display out in front of it. We probably won’t see this type of technology inside the next iPhone but with new patents being filed every week, the future is starting to look very interesting indeed.
5.
This one looks like the Sony Xperia Arc…
6.
Another more conservative estimation of what Apple’s next iPhone will look like, number six is perhaps too close to the iPhone 5 to be considered a concept in the truest sense of the word. Apple is known for its love of incremental updates, however, so this could be the handset we see launched in June. Sad but true, we know.
7.
That’s more like it! Big, bold, and minus a Home button. As concepts go, this one ties in very closely with numbers two and three. The display looks huge, perhaps around 4.5-inches, and the overall finish is very classy being true to Apple’s style but infinitely more polished than the iPhone 5.
8.
Softer corners, slim profile, and a glassy finish – a theme we’ve seen a great deal of so far, but is it one Apple will acknowledge aboard the actual iPhone 5S and iPhone 6?
9.
Last but not least, the square iPhone concept. On first inspection the iPhone Square looks decent with its uber slim proportions and angular corners. After a longer study, however, we have to admit we find this design rather ugly. It’s too extreme and doesn’t really tie in with Apple’s design principles. The Home button also looks gross with a bizarre white circle in it.

HTC User Manual The HTC Incredible S Sexy and Curvy google android repair iPhone 4 Repair
HTC Astounding S authoritative photos HTC has attained a epithet for itself and theres no inquire that the displace of the Unconvincing S was greeted with upheaval.
