Next-Gen iPad Air Spotted In Leaked Photos (Rumor)

ipadair-sampleIt does seem as though Apple’s iPad Air is due for a hardware revamp, and new photos have hit the Internet, depicting the purported next generation iPad Air that will sport a bonded display. Now, do bear in mind that this happens to be a rumor since nothing has been confirmed yet, but it might very well be the real deal. If it were to be an actual device, that it is an even thinner version of Apple’s flagship tablet that ought to send pulses racing. This alleged revised iPad Air display assembly with the LCD and cover glass were manufactured as a solitary unit, which is not too far away from what Apple has done where the iPhone is concerned for the past few years.

The assembly that was depicted in the images do seem to be identical to the existing iPad Air models when seen from the front. Turn it over to the back, and one would be able to see a new connector configuration. Not only that, the LCD also does seem to have been bonded straight to the cover glass, which is a feature that was first introduced with the iPhone 4.

When one chemically bonds the cover glass to the LCD, it would end in a thinner overall assembly, not to mention enhanced viewing angles which will be more than welcome in a potential iPad Air model.

Samsung And Swiss Federal Railways Work Out An Agreement

samsung-sbb-clockSamsung has inked a deal with Swiss Federal Railways recently, and just in case Swiss Federal Railways seem familiar to you, that is because this happens to be the organization that was not too happy at Apple for copying one of their iconic clock designs a couple of years ago. To see Samsung, who is in some legal tussle with Apple themselves, work out a contract with Swiss Federal Railways could be sensationalized by some to be an indirect dig in the direction of Apple.

Apparently, Samsung claimed that they had already arrived at a deal with Swiss Federal Railways earlier this month in order to supply them with 30,000 phones and tablets. Otherwise known as the SBB, Swiss Federal Railways claimed that Samsung did give them an offer that they could not refuse.

It was a couple of years ago after iOS 6 from Apple debuted, where Swiss Federal Railways pointed fingers in Apple’s direction that they “stole” their iconic clock face design which was created in 1944 by Swiss engineer Hans Hilfiker. Until now, the clock is the property of SBB, and remains in use at train stations run by Swiss Federal Railways. Eventually, Apple forked out $21 million to SBB late that year so that they can license the clock design.

Additional iPhone 6 Concept Renders Surface

Additional iPhone 6 Concept Renders SurfaceIt’s only April but yet we’ve come across a fair amount of leaks, rumors, and alleged photos that supposedly shows off what we can expect from the next-gen iPhone. Of course none of this can be officially confirmed right now but thanks to the folks at French website, Nowhereelse.fr, they have teamed up with renowned designed Martin Hajek to create some additional concept images of what the next-gen iPhone could look like in a case.

As you can see in the image above, the design looks more or less the same as per previous designs, which we guess are mostly based on the allegedly leaked schematics of the iPhone. However this time it shows what the phone could look like if it were kept in a case and it is a pretty sleek affair.

In fact it seems that the schematics are showing off a design that is reminiscent of the design of the iPad Air and iPad mini which once again is a good thing as both devices are pretty sleek and have a very slim profile. The rendering and the cases also shows off the possible relocation of the power/wake button which has been moved to the right hand side of the phone, versus the top right hand corner.

Other than that it’s pretty much what we’ve come to expect from the iPhone so far. Of course there’s no way of telling if Apple will really design the phone to look like the renderings, but we can only hope that they do, or perhaps they might even surprise us with something better. In the meantime what do you guys make of these designs?
