As of now, the iPhone 5C 8GB smartphone is available in Europe and goes into the line along with the 16GB and 32GB versions of the device. Other than the amount of storage all features of the new smartphone are the same as the existing versions.

At the Apple Store in Europe, the 8GB version of the smartphone is £429 unlocked. That makes it £40 cheaper than the 16GB version of the device, but that’s still over $700 US Dollars. Some carriers in Europe are offering the smartphone at no cost with certain plans. It’s unknown if the iPhone 4S will be discontinued now that a cheaper version of the iPhone 5C is available. The 8GB iPhone 5C hasn’t turned up in the US just yet.

Apple Reportedly Picks Samsung To Manufacture iPad Mini Display Panels

Apple Reportedly Picks Samsung To Manufacture iPad Mini Display PanelsIt is no secret that Apple and Samsung do not like each other, however both companies are more than aware that they need each other’s business. Samsung has the technology, the experience, and the size to produce the quality and quantity of components Apple needs, which is why as much as they appear to hate each other through legal proceedings, losing Apple as a client and losing Samsung as a supplier could hurt each other’s business.

This is why it is not completely out of the question to think that a recent report suggesting that Samsung could be helping to produce the iPad mini’s displays could be true. This is according to ETNews who claims that Apple could be turning to Samsung to help produce iPad mini displays, an interesting move since Samsung was not involved at all previously. (more…)

    128GB RAM Kit For The Mac Pro Will Cost Over $2,000

    128GB RAM Kit For The Mac Pro Will Cost Over $2,000When Apple launched the Mac Pro, they claimed that the computer would be able to support up to 64GB of RAM. For the average user and even the hardcore gamer, 64GB of RAM is more than plenty, in fact one could even argue that for the average consumer, going beyond 16GB might be a little excessive.

    However as the Mac Pro was not designed for the average consumer, but aimed at professionals who might need the power to render graphics, edit movies, and produce songs, there might be times when 64GB of RAM might just not be enough. (more…)

    8GB iPhone 5c Has Been Officially Launched In The UK

    8GB iPhone 5c Has Been Officially Launched In The UKAccording to an earlier report, we reported on a rumor that Apple could be getting ready to launch an iPhone 5c with 8GB of storage. Prior to that, the lowest possible storage you could go for was 16GB, so by dropping it down to 8GB, it would undoubtedly help to make the phone a bit cheaper and thus more appealing to customers.

    While Apple has yet to officially announce the launch of the device, it has been unveiled in another way on UK carrier O2’s website. According to the website, the handset will be priced at £409 off-contract which is around £60 cheaper than its 16GB cousin. (more…)
