IOS 7 Release

AOKP or Android Open Kang Project is a very famous and powerful Android Custom ROM coded, built and maintained by the worth members of Team Kang. The series began in November 2011 with the release of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and it stands high today with release of its latest Milestone 2 based on Jelly Bean 4.2.2. With the release of M2, AOKP now supports most of the Android smartphones and tablets, which now sums up to the list 44 devices.

Released: 21 July 2013

Today, we’re here to review and explain the major features supported by Milestone 2. Please note that these are only the major features which are observable by a user’s eye, but a huge list of other features and bug fixes are also there, merged in. The ROM took a huge leap by adding a large bunch of new devices, which are mentioned below.

The new devices added since the last Milestone 1 are:

Features explored & explained!

One of the most usable and unique feature, developed and bought by Steve Spear. AOKP Ribbons slipped in during the late nightlies, which has evolved fast enough to be regarded stable in the latest JB-MR1 Milestone 2. The aim of Ribbons is to serve its users with usability with not just tap-to-open Apps/action icons but also the toggles.

These icons/toggles are setup on the lockscreen, stacked finely spaced. You don’t need to worry about the number of icons or the space, as the arrangement is such that the icons are lined and can be swiped from right to left and vice-versa.

 Elements that can be altered here are:

To use, just press the lock/power key, you’ll certainly have all the ribbons displayed on your lockscreen.

Icons/toggles here are aligned on the notification panel while it is expanded. Elements that can be altered here are same as that of the lockscreen ribbon.

To use, swipe down from the top of the status bar and press on the notification icon at the top left.

Icons/toggles are placed just over the quick setting toggles. One of the best thing that happened with Jelly Bean was the introduction of a separate toggles panel and so some of us here prefer to keep the notification area clean and thus this ribbon function comes in handy. The elements that can be altered here are:

To use, swipe down from the top of the status bar. Quick setting toggles shall be visible below the ribbon icons/toggles

Swipe ribbon resembles much of Ubuntu’s sidebar making it a lot easy for lazy users like me. You can just put a large number of apps in it, so no more pressing the drawer button and swiping left and right to find your favourite app. Just place it in the swipe ribbon and access easily.

The elements that can be altered here are:

Quite a long list of modifications, huh? That is really awesome!

To use, gently swipe from the left, right or bottom of the screen respectively, the swipe ribbon will appear for you to scroll and select your app.

Note: Bottom swipe will only work if the on-screen buttons are permanently disabled or hidden.

So here, we’re done with the first and foremost feature offered by AOKP Milestone 2 (JB-MR1)

Privacy and security are quite essential aspects of Android. It might itself be open-sourced but yet it provides the best sense of security. AOKP adds a bunch more to this, it adds Permission Management tool. While we install an app, we do go through the permissions that it will acquire but our stock Android doesn’t help us to amend those permissions selectively.

AOKP’s Permission Management helps its user to manage permission of each and every installed app. You can allow or deny selective permissions of any of the app installed on your device.

 How to use?

Go to Settings > Permissions to execute the Permissions Management tool, make sure to switch it ON by tapping on the switch at the top right. The apps installed on your device shall be listed, tap on any app and the permissions required by it shall expand. You can now allow specific permission by ticking it or deny it by unticking.

It is very easy-to-use and handful feature offered uniquely by AOKP.

It’s a simple yet very elegant feature. What it does is, change the entire color scheme of your Android device from stock holo to a much more dark (black) pattern.

It could be easily enabled/disabled by going to Settings and switching ON/OFF the on-screen button corresponding to Dark AOKP.

 mGerrit is an automated AOKP app/tool to view real-time gerrit code reviews directly on your Android device. The App is merged into AOKP ROMs, if you’re using any other ROM, you can still install it from the app box below.

To use, go to Settings > ROM Control > About AOKP > mGerrit

You can find code reviews for specific repositories too, just tap on the lined icon on the top-right of mGerrit and select your desired repo.

 The Review tab contains all the code reviews made at the AOKP gerrit, irrespective of their adaption or rejection.

The Merged tab holds the list of the all the code reviews which are accepted and merged to the source code at Github.

The Abandoned tab contains the code reviews which are rejected or are considered incomplete or inappropriate of reason whatsoever

Indeed the function comes in extremely handy when you desperately need a torch around you. You now don’t need to hassle yourself by going to download a 3rd party app or use toggles.

To use, go to Settings > ROM Control > Lockscreen and switch ON GlowPad Torch. You can either enable it via LockRing (by long pressing the lockscreen ring) or via NavRing (By long pressing the NavBar ring on the lockscreen).

HDR or High-Dynamic-Range mode is a  set of method used in photography to capture a greater dynamic range between the lighter and darker areas of an image. This function is a bliss for those who use their Android devices as daily Camera to present amazing shots. This mode is supported in almost all the custom ROMs and so now AOKP also has it. It can be enabled simply in the settings of the Camera app of your device.

Please note that HDR mode is not supported on all device, some might as well not support it.

Custom Toggles come in very useful every time, you don’t need to tap here and there to reach a function to enable/disable it. Thanks to our genius developers, we have it just in our hands. There is already a long list of toggles embedded in Custom ROMs but AOKP adds a few more to the list. New toggles include Custom, Stay Awake, Reboot, Sleep etc.

To add/modify toggles, go to Settings > ROM Control > Toggles > Toggles Setup

The so-much popular app for users to manage root permissions is here embedded in this very ROM, by the worthy developer Koushik Dutta (Former of ClockworkMod and ROM Manager). We’ve always had the Superuser app on our App drawer until Koush implemented his very own superuser app, which can not just be downloaded, but can also be merged into the ROM. You can Allow/Deny root permissions to apps, enable logs, notifications and perform every other action.

To access the in-built Superuser app, go to Settings > Superuser

Well, I am myself a huge fan of AOKP since the beginning. Reminding myself of the days of my first Android (LG Optimus One P500), when ICS was out and ported and so came AOKP, it was the only ROM to which I sticked for the longest period; 3 months. Been around 2 years now, when I migrated from Desire Z to Nexus S and now finally to the Nexus 4 and I still prefer the same and the best.

Being an old user, I have felt this ROM has evolved to where it stands now, offering an elegant interface, high-performance and extreme stability to be used as a daily driver, serving you with all the essential custom features.  The release tag (Milestone) speaks for itself, so if you’re someone who seek features and stability at one place, I can assure that you won’t ever look back, but then again its my own opinion and shall vary from person-to-person.

Holy yes! Out of the wildest dreams of the much awaited Nexus 4 users, Jelly Bean 4.3 is finally arriving to the coast. The sources are from Jeff Williams who shows in the Nexus 4 running Jelly Bean 4.3 (JWR66N). The rumors spent their time well before the release of JellyBean 4.3, we already covered up guide to Install Google Play Edition ROM (Android 4.3) on Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.

The plot, our friend Jeff Willams here bought a Nexus 4 from Craigslist but while operating it, he discovered something astounding which was a new version Android, Jelly Bean 4.3. While thinking that this might just be a build.prop edit, Jeff researched a bit and concluded that it was true. As soon as this news hit the web, developers/users at Reddit, provided an helping hand to Jeff, for taking a System dump and posting it online. Initially the dump was leaked as a TWRP supported backup, which could be restored using TWRP 2.5+. Later, gmillz at the XDA-Developers forum created a flash-able zip of the same, which was pre-rooted and could be flashed using any recovery on your Nexus 4. A bit more later, he slipped a new build which was deodexed and ran an insecure kernel. While flashing the pre-rooted zip, a whole bunch reported the root not working, but a solution is posted too, read the instructions below and flash the latest Jelly Bean 4.3 leak on your Nexus 4.

Kindly visit the original thread at XDA  forums for more info and interact with other users as well.

Well, we can only come up with what is visible to a user’s eye.

These are just as stated to be visible and we’re very much sure that a lot of unknown improvisations are under the cover and yet to be revealed by Google, officially.

In case, you don’t have root permissions working, download UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip and flash it using the recovery.

I have already flashed the de-odexed and insecure kernel version, enjoying it to a huge extent. Flash and share with us your experience with the new Jelly Bean 4.3. Are you satisfied with this? Well, I too expect that the official version includes a lot more than this. Hit the comments!

Google Play Edition ROM (Android 4.3) is Now Available for Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505

Best Custom ROMs for LG/Google Nexus 4 E960 [2013 Edition]

Accessory Review: FlexiFrame Bumper Case (Clear/Black) for Nexus 4

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 was released 4 months ago at the Mobile World Congress as a contender of Apple’s iPad Mini. Launched with Android 4.1.2, this 8-inch tablet has gain much popularity over the past few month. According to Samsung’s OS version update list, the device is eligible to be updated to the upcoming Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. By forwarding the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update to the device, Samsung has just move a step ahead in the direction.

In fact, it all began a couple of weeks ago with the leaked version of Android 4.2.2 update for the the WiFi only variant of the Galaxy Note 8.0. The new update for the Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5100 is already on the roll now and is available for a number of countries listed below. The users of the device in these parts of the globe can receive the latest version of Android from Samsung using Kies or the on-device OTA update feature.

If you have not able to get it so far because you have rooted your tablet or due to some other reasons, you can also bump its firmware version and enjoy the new features. Even if you country is not listed below and you wish to update your device, you can install any unbranded firmware manually using Odin. Just make sure not to install a branded firmware on and unbranded device and vice versa.

The new firmware with PDA version XXCMH1 is reported to introduce various new features, performance improvements and better battery life.

Philippines (Sun): XTC-N5100XXCMH1-20130820111347.zip

Vietnam: XXV-N5100XXCMH1-20130819111212.zip

Malaysia: XME-N5100XXCMH1-20130819110541.zip

Indonesia: XSE-N5100XXCMH1-20130819110917.zip

Thiland: THL-N5100XXCMH1-20130819111645.zip

Germany: DBT-N5100XXCMH1-20130809094824.zip

The first boot after installing the new firmware will take longer that it does normally so wait patiently. If the device is stuck on the Samsung logo screen for more than 5 minutes, reboot it into Recovery mode by holding the Volume Up and Power buttons together and follow the steps given under Method 1 at this page.

A couple of month ago Samsung released a list of its Galaxy line up that would be upgraded to Android 4.2 and 4.3. Later we got rumors that OEM will promote some of its older flagships like Galaxy S3 and Note 2 to Android 4.3 directly. It has been more than a month since the 4.2 firmware was leaked for the former device (S3) and the delay in the official release can be seen as just another indication that the above mentioned smartphones might be directly promoted to Android 4.3.

The way Samsung has started the Android 4.2.2 update to a less popular mid-range device like the Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus cannot be without a reason and we hope that the neglection of S3 and Note 2 that might be tasting sour to the users of these devices, will finally turn into some pleasant sense pretty soon. Another mid-range device from Samsung’s second generation tablet line up has now started receiving Android 4.2 update via OTA. The users of Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3100 finally have a big reason to smile as they are now entitled to enjoy the not-so-latest version of Android before most other people with higher models.

The first Android 4.2.2 firmware for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3100 (3G + WiFi) is already out for the users of this device in France. Since it is an unbranded firmware, it can be installed on any Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with model number P3100 that is not locked to a network provider. In other words, if you are able to use ant SIM card on your Tab, you can have this new firmware.

We have not been able to test this firmware, nor do we have any official changelog, so we cannot list what new features the 4.2 update for the device brings with it, but we hope that it’ll improve the performance of the device and also bring the multi-page lockscreen with widgets support. Download the firmware from below, install it and lets us know of the new changes you discover.

When we first heard the news that the users of Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105P (with NFC) in Germany have been reported receiving Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update, we just took as just rumors. The news was later supported by a few actual screenshots and then we became a little serious. However, we could believe it only when we got hands on the firmware itself. Actually, the reason behind not coming to believe that Galaxy S2 Plus is getting Android 4.2.2 update was the very reports that Samsung would send this update first to the Galaxy S3 and the previously leaked 4.2.2 firmware for the device was just like an official confirmation.

Anyway, the truth is truth after all. If you own Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105P, take yourself as privileged as you can now update your phone with the Official Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean firmware. If you belong the Central European region or Europe, you can check for the OTA update by connecting your device to Kies. Also, you can check for its availability on your phone itself from Settings> About> Software Update.

In case you have not been able to receive the update and can’t wait to taste the fresh Jelly Bean, you can download the complete firmware and install it manually. Those who have rooted their Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105P or come from any other part of the globe can also update their device to the latest firmware using the Odin3 tool. Only thing you have to make sure before installing the firmware is that your phone is not locked to a carrier/SIM.

The firmware that is available for download bears the version number XXUBMG8 has DBT as CSC and that means that it is originally for the users in Germany. However, as we already said, it can be installed on any unbranded Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus with model number GT-I9105P.

The Android 4.2.2 update to the Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105P brings a lot of changes and adds new features to the device.

Note that the first boot after a new firmware installation takes longer time that usual so a little patience is required. In case, your Galaxy S2 Plus is stuck on Samsung logo even after 6 minutes, try the Steps 10-14 from this tutorial.

Here are the AnTuTu Benchmark scores with the new firmware. The latest scores are far better than those of Android 4.1.2 firmware.

Enjoy the newly installed Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean firmware on your S2 Plus GT-I9105P and do not forget to share with us the new changes and features or even issues you discover. Cheers!

All the firmwares on Samsung Galaxy devices consists of some parts and if there has ever been involved in installing the firmware on the device manually, you need to have seen or even heard of them. These files contain the elements that determine the status and functions of the device. Thus, we have files, such as a PDA, modem, Bootloader, the phone, the PIT and the CSC. You all know that Samsung releases its smartphones and tablets with different designs, and even of the same model device may vary from one country to another because of the regional and local requirements.

Sometimes the feature is found in the device designed for a specific country/region might be missing one released in other regions. In some cases, manufacturers have to comply with the laws and regulations of the country and so they use certain before the release of the device for the inn on the market. The part that specifies the local Samsung Galaxy devices customization settings known as CSC (consumer software).

Smart phone sound quality is one of the user has to keep in mind when buying a device of the determining factors. The higher we spend on the phone, the better are our expectations of it. Unfortunately, Android devices, manufacturers do not give users the ultimate audio experience also in the final of the superphones. Low voice and not up-on-the-mark, the sound quality seems to be glued to the Android. You can hardly find a user who feels the quality of the content and volume of the phone's audio.

Thanks for the excitement of the nature of the Android community who keep digging beneath the layers of Android devices, working with compensation for missing a feature or solution to the existing problem, which is overlooked by the OEM for system files. If you own a Galaxy S device, you are very familiar with low voice and bad sound quality of the device. And keep in mind that most of us want to listen to music on our phones, we want you to get better and louder sound will be reasonably good.

When we first heard the news that the users and the Galaxy S2 as well as GT-I9105P (and NFC) in Germany, is reported to have received the Android update, we took only the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 just rumors. The news supported the later some real pictures and then we became a bit serious. However, we believe that, when we could just hands the firmware itself. Actually, the reason behind the Galaxy S2 does not assume that more is coming to the Android update reports that Samsung was very 4.2.2 send an update first on Galaxy and previously leaked 4.2.2 firmware to the device was just the official confirmation.

The current flagship of the Smartphone market, Samsung decided to add new dimensions to the device by releasing two different variants of the Galaxy and the Galaxy branded as S4 active S4 Zoom. The former is the sports version of the brags is waterproof, although the latter has its own camera phone. Both devices are much more popular with the regular S4 and therefore they could not hacker community so much attention.

If you have an international version of the Galaxy in an active Galaxy S4 S4 or AT&T SGH-I337, things seem to be now known as developers like Chainfire and Geohot has finally a method just for these devices quite easily change. Chainfire is the system administrator, developer, and that is why he is the man behind the very rooted Android device. His CF Auto Root packages are available in almost all Samsung Galaxy devices. George Hotz aka Geohot, the famous iPhone hacker, who is credited as the first man to open the original carrier for the iPhone. He has released one of the easiest to exploit for purposes of rooting AT&T Galaxy S4 active SGH-I337 simple APK file. Below, we take a look at both methods.

If you have a regular Galaxy S4 active unlocked bootloader, you can easily put it to use Chainfire's CF Auto Root. Even if the developer does not have a stand-alone root Package S4 active, you're still just in it for the Galaxy S4 LTE CF-Root file. Because of the similarity between the old method goes to a file in the newer device also. It is, however, precisely the S4 active before, make sure that you have done the following things:

Okay now you can root S4 with a few simple steps, follow these steps:

Ready To Go! The administrator has now installed a device and have the super-user privileges.

AT&T Galaxy S4 root method (SGH-I337) has been developed by GeoHot and it is one of the easiest ways to root Android phone locked bootloader.

Check the root the Galaxy S4 active, run the app to install the Checker and the Root.

Samsung, the biggest manufacturer of Android smartphones, does not see any major threat from other OEMs, like HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola, etc., that manufacture Android devices. And therefore, the only other player that the company considers a worthy rival is Apple Inc. While Samsung occupies a largest share in the smartphone market in Asian and European market, it has been facing neck to neck competition in the US and Canadian markets where major number of the so called “iSheep” crowd dwell.

The Korean smartphone giant has been trying hard to break the iPhone cult and disillusion the loyal iOS fans. For the past couple of years, especially after the launch of the Galaxy S3, Samsung has been releasing videos after videos to show its Galaxy line of devices far superior to the iPhone and iPad. In most of such video ads, Samsung has been very unabashed in its criticism of iPhone that, according to the company, is inferior to its recent flagship devices in all aspects.

Continuing its well known jab towards iPhone, Samsung has now come up with 2 new TV ads the first of which tries to establish the Galaxy S4 as the next big change for those who own an iPhone. The ad is set on an aeroplane where a Galaxy S4 user is shown happy enjoying a video on the 5? display of his phone but he is soon disturbed by a fellow passenger who own an iPhone. As their talk proceeds the man with Galaxy S4 tells him about features like Easy Mode and Smart Switching that can transfer almost everything from an iPhone to the Galaxy flagship.

The second video (below) has nothing  like tooth and claw pointing to iPhone. It is rather a simple ad that highlights the advantages of the S Translate feature of Galaxy S4. A girl takes his boyfriend to meet her parents. The boy is a little hesitant about his first impression and worried because he does not know the native tongue of his girl-friend parents. However, his Galaxy S4 come to help and with the help of translation, he is able to impress the mother by talking to her in her native language.

Anyway, watch the new videos and do not forget to share which one did you like most. Cheers!

A couple of months ago Samsung released the list of its Galaxy line that I'd upgraded to Android 4.2 and 4.3. Later, we got the rumors that the OEM to promote some of the older ships such as the Galaxy and Android 4.3 Note 2 directly. It's been over a month since the previous 4.2 firmware leaked device (S3) and the delay of the official release announcement is visible to only one of the above mentioned smartphones can directly contribute to the Android 4.3.

Samsung has started to update the Android device is less popular with middle-level 4.2.2 as Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus may not be without reason, and we hope that the corruption of S3 and note 2, that would be tasting the sour users on these devices, will eventually turn into a pleasant feeling pretty soon. Another mid-range device from Samsung, the second generation of the tablet line has begun to receive the Android 4.2 update message. As the Galaxy Tab 2 4.3 GB P3100 , finally, is a big reason to smile as they now have the right to enjoy the not-so-the latest version of the Android before most other people in the larger models.

The first Android 4.2.2 firmware Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GB-P3100 (3 g + WiFi) is already out in France this device users. Because it is unbranded firmware, it can install the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and model number P3100 that isn't locked network provider. In other words, if you used ant SIM card tab, you can configure the new firmware.

We have not tested this firmware and there is the official changelog, so we can list what the update brings some new features to the device in 4.2, but we hope that it will improve the performance of the device and also bring a multi-page LockScreen widgets support. Download the firmware below, install it and tells us, you'll see the new changes..

Firmware updates are always a welcome thing in Smartphone or tablet device by the user. We are always wanting to know whether our device to get the latest version of Android. If you own a Nexus one device, you may feel a little pumped into the air when the Android dish served hot, but if you have a device, Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG or any other OEM, you can be sure that you get the latest version of Android after waiting a month, when things become stale. What is worse, sometimes the wait is never going to end. In this situation, it is very much like that of 2 tramps "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett.

Program updates are desirable things, indeed, because they bring new features and improvements. However, the Jelly Bean updates some of the Samsung Galaxy S devices, such as a note, the note 2, S2, ACE of the 2, and the failure to satisfy the expectations of the users of the earlier S Advance. The popularity of the downgrade educational programs such as this is enough to prove it.

It's only been a few weeks since the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean firmware update for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GB-P3100 (3 g + WiFi) rolled out. Users of the other options in this second generation of the tablet to the Samsung got a reasonable reason to get Android 4.2.2 at any time. And now it has already achieved a WiFi version of tab 2 GB-P3110!

The first Android 4.2.2 upgrade to Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GB-P3110 is started rolling device for users in the United Kingdom, and it can be used to TURN on or Samsung Kies. Because it is unbranded firmware, it can be installed in all tab 2 4.3 model number GT-P3110, is not locked to the carrier,

While we have no official changelog points out, what are the new features and changes in the new firmware brings, but we can assure you that it will introduce features such as 2-notification Panel, daydream, LockScreen, widget support multi-page and some changes to the user interface, multiple user accounts, and so on.

Galaxy Tab 2 new firmware 4.3 GB P3110 PDA version of P3110XXDMH1 can be downloaded below and can be installed manually with Odin3 tool.

When it comes to smartphones, the first few months of 2013 moved the proverbial goalposts.Android handsets flourished with Full HD screens, aluminium or glass unibodies and every feature under the sun. Apple’s iPhone 5 has been on the scene for a while now but its thunder is in danger of being stolen by the Android Army. The question we all want to know is what will Apple do next? With Cupertino updating the iPad 3 just months after releasing it, there are reports that an iPad Mini 2 or even an Apple TV could be on the way. What we know for sure though, is that the company will want to reclaim its smartphone crown. So, T3 has gathered together everything we know about the rumoured iPhone 5S. Apple iPhone 5S casing If some recently leaked photos from China are to be believed, the casing and outward design of the new iPhone 5 S won't be all that different to the current iPhone 5 handsets. If the pictures are genuine, they show the new iPhone 5 S will have the exact same design, dimensions and measurements as its predecessor.

The only difference between the two, according to these images, is the length of and shape of the screen cable and the parts that connect them to the chassis. This would be in line with Apple's established pattern with its iPhone handsets since the 3GS came out, which involves leaving the basic iPhone chassis largely untouched and instead concentrating on upgrading the internal parts. Up until now, Apple hasn’t strayed from the white/black colour scheme for its phones but Topeka Capital Research analyst Brian White has said he believes that along with different colours, the iPhone 5S may arrive in different sizes. This appears to be backed up by Japanese tech site Macotakara which also believes the iPhone 5S will have three extra colours added to the black or white standard. If Apple launched three models, for example with 3.5-inch, 4-inch and 5-inch screens, it would allow the company to grab both premium and budget customers. However, this could be more of a plan for the iPhone 6 as, traditionally, “S” models have kept the same outer casing as their immediate predecessors. At the bare minimum, we’d expect to see a better camera (although don’t expect ultrapixels, HTC One-style) and a faster processor. Apple iPhone 5S specs When it comes to the specs of the next iPhone, at the very least we expect Apple to use the A6X chip currently found in the latest iPad. However, the latest rumours suggest Apple could be working on an A7 chip for the forthcoming iPad 5. In years gone by, Apple has previously worked with Samsung to produce processors for it's iPhone range. But, given the recent legal tussels between the two companies, many speculate that Apple will want to distance itself from the Korean company. Some rumours have hinted at an Intel chip being included in the next iteration of the iPhone. Some purported images of iPhone 5S prototypes appear to show a change in the hardware configuration that suggests Apple is moving things around to make space for a bigger battery or extra features such as NFC. Apple famously decided to withhold NFC for the iPhone 5 and since both theSamsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy S4 have arrived toting the new connectivity, Apple may want to incorporate it this time around. Recent reports from Taiwan and tech website NFC World indicate that manufacturer Chipbond has won a major contract to build components for the iPhone 5S - including NFC. What's more, other rumours suggest that Apple will go further and include a fingerprint scanner in the iPhone 5S, adding in extra security. In terms of storage, there is the strong possibility of Apple launching a new phone with 128GB storage – similar to the latest iPad upgrade. Meanwhile Jeffries analyst Peter Misek told Business Insider that he believes the iPhone 5S will feature a “Super HD screen” along with a range of colours similar to the iPod Touch range. Considering all the top Android handsets feature Full HD displays, we reckon its unlikely Apple will launch the iPhone 5S with anything less than a 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolution. Apple iPhone 5S camera It’s well known that one of the key battlegrounds of smartphone warfare is the specifications of the on-board camera. The Sony Xperia Z and Galaxy S4 arrived sporting 13MP cameras while HTC upset the apple cart by including a 4MP “ultrapixel” camera into its HTC One handset. Apple has consistently upped the camera specs in each of its models and its no stretch to think that the company will do the same for the iPhone 5S. According to iLounge, Cupertino isn’t planning to go down the HTC route and will instead launch the 5S with a 13MP camera – putting it in league with the Sony and Samsung handsets. Of course, hardware is only half the story and if Apple can come up with some killer in-house apps to take advantage of the camera in new ways it will give them a good start on the competition. Apple iPhone 5S pictures A few interesting pictures have leaked out onto the web regarding the iPhone 5S. One of the first to emerge was the back of an unspecified type of iPhone that was leaked to Nowhereelse.fr. There’s not much to go on here, but – as expected – the casing and design looks almost identical to the iPhone 5.

Tellingly though, the serial numbers underneath the iPhone moniker aren’t listed. While it would certainly fit with the design of the current iPhone it doesn't yet confirm whether the 5S will come in a range of colours - much like it did with the iPod Touch - or whether the company will simply stick to the black/white variants. This second image (pictured at the start of this article) apparently shows stripped-down iPhone 5S casing next to a current iPhone 5 teardown image. The snap was initially uploaded to iPhone4Parts and looks very similar to Apple’s current design – except with a few screws lost along the way. Apple iPhone 5S release date Plenty of sources have weighed in with opinions on when the iPhone 5S and the overriding good news is that it appears to be sooner rather than later. For the most part, the majority of rumours hinged on late summer as the likely date for the new phone. Business Insider recently came across reports that the new iPhone 5 will be enter production in June 2013. Manufacturers like Sharp, LG and JapanDisplay are said to be constructing displays for the new hanset and the actual device itself may arrive in "the Fall". According to iMore rumours, we may have to wait until August 2013 to see the iPhone 5S, which would make it a full year (11 months) since the company first revealed the iPhone 5. However, Apple's Worldwide Developer's conference is taking place in San Francisco from June 10-14, and we may see a few more rumours and leaks develop as a result. We'll temper that by saying that the focus of WWDC isn't the hardware. Expect more news about iOS and OS X, with maybe a snippet about the next Macbook, rather than any detailed tellings on the future of iPhone.
