Leaked Photos of iPhone 5S Logic Board

iOSDoc.com are reporting that they claim to have leaked pictures of the alleged iPhone 5S that will be out later this year, sporting the new A7 Quad-Core 1.2GHz processor with 2GB RAM.

The new A7 Chipset?

The picture isnt as clear and theres further suggestions that the picture (left) is the same logic board as the one used on the current iPhone 5, meaning that this picture could be fake, with the number 7 just 'photoshopped' on.

This could make sense as numerous reports state that the next Apple mobile device will sport a 5" screen, now if that is the case, wouldnt the logic board be some what bigger in size? Or if that isnt true, then maybe this could mean that Apple is finally deciding to increase their battery size and upping their Mah.

Apple testing a watch like iOS Device.

Apple testing a watch like iOS Device.

Apple is currently testing a device sported as a watch which will carry out some of the functions of their Smartphone the iPhone.

Apple's idea to rethink about the way we use technology is nothing new, Microsoft in 2003 revealed a wearable smart phone type of watch called SPOT, so the technology nor the ideas are something that Apple has innovated themselves.

However, if Apple is looking to implement this technology into daily lives of millions of people, lets hope they have some nifty features up their sleeves.

They could possibly invent more features than to just answering calls and reading text messages via your wrist. Possibly they could use the iWatch as some sort of multimedia device, just like the small iPod Nano, allowing users to listen music by attaching the wrist watch with the iPod Nano, for convenience.

Apple looking to ditch pass code's for new image recognition system

Incoming reports have suggested that Apple will soon be ditching the current 4 digit passcode system on iOS devices, replacing it with their newly patented image recognition software.

This was brought into the light by US Patent and Trademark Office, this week when Apple's patent for the system was finally processed.

Apple feel that their current pass code system is now too easily approachable and accessible for hackers and thieves.

They seem to be wanting to take a different approach to unlocking content, not by the standard 4 digit pass codes, however something completely different, like Facebook's approach, by prompting the user to identify their friends pictures on their profiles, and if they identified them successfully, they will then have access to their account.

This is something Apple could implement which would definately change the way we secure our phones and make them much harder to be accessed by thieves/hackers. Especially when a GUI is involved more heavily than just a simple number pad.
