iLife

The iLife software for iOS is amazing. iMovie and iPhoto are the best video and photo editing apps respectively for the iOS. If you are buying a new iOS device then you will get these for free, well thats great. On the other hand the existing users should purchase these apps, each of 5 dollars or 270 rupees. Spending money on these apps is worth. Apple made a demo version of Garageband free for all and charges 5 dollars or 270 rupees for the complete version. Since you can get the demo version for free, therefore you can best judge Garageband. Buy it only if you find it useful; not all music lovers are gonna love it.

iPads

Two new iPads were launched recently. The iPad air replaced the main line of iPads and iPad mini with retina display overcomes the shortcomings of the iPad mini. Both these devices pack with the latest A7 chip which is 64-bit, the only of it's kind and also powers the iPhone 5s. Both of them have the same resolution 2048 x 1536 giving 264 ppi on the iPad air and 326 ppi on the iPad mini with retina display. The iPad air maintains the same price tag starting at 499 dollars but the iPad mini with retina display starts from 399, 70 dollars more than the previous one, but it is worth as it has retina display and a7 chip. Both these new devices have the same back cameras but the front camera has improved with bigger pixels. Apple is still selling the old iPad mini and the iPad 2 at 299 and 399 dollars respectively. These devices are expected to come in India in December.

Otherwise check cnets blog for every live update at http://live.cnet.com/Event/CNETs_Apple_Oct_22_Event_Live_Blog . The event will start in just 15 minutes. I am damn excited.

Apple event

Now less than 7.5 hours are left for the event to start. Apple will most probably broadcast the live event but will definately put the whole event video online in 1 or 2 days. If you want to get all information of the ongoing event then i will tell you about some websites which give live updates and pics of the event as it will proceed or you can check my blog timely for the updates.

iPhone 4 and 4s get price cut

Apple has cut down the price of the earlier iphones. Now you can get a 4s for 31,500 and iPhone 4 8GB for 21,000 and 16GB for 25,000. So now buying a 4s is worth but getting 4 is useless. It was introduced over 3 years ago has a slow processor and most probably won't support iOS 8.

Apple confirmed 22 October event

Today apple sent invitations for it upcoming event scheduled on 22 October. The press conference will take place at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, and begins at 10 a.m. Pacific. That means the event will start at 10:30 p.m. in India. Definitely OSX Mavericks will be released for consumers and the Mac Pro will be also launched. New iPads and Macbook Pros are also expected. Keep checking my blog for more details about the upcoming events.

Apple announced prices for India

iPhone 5c and 5s in India

Apple yesterday announced that it will be selling the latest iPhones in many more countries this month. The iPhone 5c and 5s will start selling in India from November 1. So all my Indian friends planning to buy the new iPhones have 3 more weeks to know more about these amazing devices, after that you can own them. But I will advice you to only research and not buy anything till the next apple event predicted to be on 22 October occur. Apple might be making something better for you. So dont buy, just gather more info and read more reviews if you are a big Apple fan.

Next apple event

Just now I got to know from cnet that the next apple event is scheduled for 22 October. Though the date is not officially announced by apple but it should be true. I will again post when the date is confirmed by apple.

What is apple making?

There are no news from apple about their new products or an event but apple will definately launch some products in the end of this month or in November. Since apple is not telling us anything about what they are making so we can only guess, but yes, it is sure that apple will launch its new iPad and iPad mini this year only. Guessing what these two devices will have is easy. The iPad will obviously have A7x chip and a sleek aluminium body like that of iPad mini. It can possibly have a better camera. The iPad mini will have a retina display and a better chip, atleast A6 or it can even have A7. There will be no improvement in design. What else can we expect from apple this year? Macbook Air with retina display, new lineup of Macbook Pros with 4th gen intel chips, Mac Pro, Apple TV with A7 and the most rumoured iWatch.Some new iPods can also be seen this year, especially the classic with a better design and shuffle with more storage.
