Could this operating system re-revolutionize the mobile world, as he did through the first-generation iPhone first?

2. Combo Samsung and Android increasingly deadly

Incursions news, reviews, and positive information about the devices made by Samsung, Apple rivals, giving a fresh breeze for the popularity of the company's country of origin ginseng.

In fact, devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S IV was widely reported before it actually appears that creating a sensation, similar to those normally generated by Apple products.

3. Apple is no longer Apple's first

4. Young people no longer think of Apple's "cool"

Once the iPhone is widely used by adults, then there goes the charm of this device in the eyes of young people. In fact, a survey reported by Forbes shows that the title of "cool" is surprisingly already starting to switch to Windows Phone devices.

5. Apple Product prices beyond the reach of many pockets

Most of Apple's success was built through expansion into the global market, but in many parts of the world, Apple products are still too expensive for most consumers.

Meanwhile, competitors such as Android devices Apple managed to catch while offering more price friendly bags.

That is, the usual fanfare generated by Apple's products when it appeared carrying tremendous innovation. For example, like the iPhone and the iPad when it was first introduced and immediately invite admiration from around the world.

As one of the latest innovations, even though Siri did not leave a deep impression. Only a small increase for the small increase by Apple, while Android is increasingly threatening.

Well, if the iPhone 6 will be able to revive enthusiasm for Apple products, or the device will only appear mediocre and disappointing?

How to Select an iPhone from Its Capacity

How to Select an iPhone from Its Capacity. Since its initial launch in 2007, Apple always provides some capacity options for its iPhone devices. The first generation iPhone only has two capacity options, the 8GB and 16GB. While on Wednesday generation iPhone, iPhone 5, Apple has given three capacity options, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB.

The price difference is big enough known to make prospective buyers confused. Many are wondering whether to buy an iPhone with the largest capacity, 64GB? Or, if the iPhone 5 16GB is enough?

To answer this question, there is no answer really sure. No one can really tell which product is most suitable capacity until you try all of these models and determine capacity needed through trial and error.

So, how to choose the most suitable capacity?

1. How many music files you want to save?

Most users use the iPhone as a digital music player. To be able to easily access the music all the time, most users store music files directly on the device.

How much music can be stored in each 1GB? To answer that question, let's make an assumption. For a music file with duration of 4 minutes, usually has a size of 4MB. Thus, one gigabyte in each device can store about 250 music files.

For the record, this is not an assumption that is really appropriate for a lot of music files have a size larger or smaller than 4MB. However, these calculations can give some idea how many songs can be stored in 1GB capacity.

There are ways that can properly give you an idea about the amount of required files. Users can make a list beforehand who wants to put music to the phone via iTunes. Once completed, iTunes will automatically deliver massive amounts of file playlist.

If the list again turns out to have a size greater than 10GB, you should choose iPhone users with up to 16GB capacity.

2. How many photos you want to keep?

IPhone 5 has a camera of 8 megapixel image sensor. The resulting images were quite well-known. Therefore, it is believed many users will take photos and videos using the camera.

There is no accurate way to determine the amount of file photos taken using the iPhone. However, let us return to make assumptions.

Photos taken with the iPhone 5 usually have a size of up to 2.3 MB or about 435 photos per gigabyte in the iPhone.

This figure is the number of very much that iPhone 16GB is considered enough to save tens of thousands of photos. Consumers actually can back up photos to cloud computing-based applications, such as Flickr, Google Drive, or Dropbox. After finishing backed up, users can delete the photos on the iPhone and the storage media will be back "relief".

Video requires a larger space than photos. Video with duration of 1 minute usually has a file size of 180MB. If you want to take a lot of video, you should choose the iPhone with a larger capacity.

3. How many applications you want to download?

All common applications, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, have the file size is not too large. For example, Facebook has a size of 19MB, 10MB Twitter, and Google Maps 6.7 MB.

However, these measures will continue to grow if used frequently. For example, the application files size 339MB Twitter could evolve into after 1 year of use. This can happen because these applications store data, such as images that are on the timeline.

Applications with high graphics, such as games, usually have a larger file size.

In conclusion, if you want to store a lot of music files, songs, videos, and applications in the iPhone, you should choose a large capacity, which is between 32GB and 64GB.

However, if you are just browsing and reading email via phone, choose iPhone with the smallest capacity, 16GB.

Apple CEO Don’t Close Opportunity for Cheap iPhone

Apple CEO Don’t Close Opportunity for Cheap iPhone. Rumors about the iPhone affordable versions to this day are still confusing. Apple is still mum about the possibility of the device, however, whether intentional or not, has several times gave little hint.

Analysts IT world, supported with secret information from people in Apple, revealed the possibility of the presence of the iPhone in 2013. Low-end iPhone is intended to boost iPhone sales in developing countries.

Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, also has a little more comment on rumors. Although he uses language that implied and open to many interpretations.

Moments after Apple finished announcing their financial statements, Friday (25/01/2013), the current leader of Apple, Tim Cook, declined to answer questions from some media.

One of the questions posed by the media is another variation of the iPhone that is currently available.

"The most important thing for Apple is to make the best product in the world that can enrich the lives of consumers. That's the highest bid from us. That means, we are not interested in doing something purely for the sake of earned income," said Cook.

"We could have put in a lot of Apple-branded products and sell more products, but that's not our goal. We only want to sell products," added Cook.

Excerpts from the interview, Cook looks slightly preclude the presence of cheap iPhone. The company is headquartered in Cupertino just want to produce products that are considered best for their customers and not too chase market share.

However, subsequent comments from Cook slightly refute previous comments.

"I think we have a good record with the iPod products have many kinds of different products at different price levels, and it makes sense to do so," said Cook.

iPod does have many variants in the market. Apple iPod proved able to sell at various price levels.

Cook the sentence could have been interpreted as a possible Apple to sell the iPhone in a variety of price levels as well. Anyway, they successfully do it with the iPod.

However, Cook asserts, the main thing to focus on Apple is producing the best products, such as iPhone. A creed that has brought Apple since it was founded by the late Steve Jobs.
