Partying for St Patricks day this weekend? Read this!

Yes, St Patricks Day isn’t until next week on the 17th of March, however most people need a weekend to celebrate the day of the Irish, so festivities are kicking off tomorrow with block parties, parade’s and a very many Guinness’s drunk!

St Patricks day is synonymous with drinking of course, the color green and a good deal of ‘craic’ to be had. To start your celebrations off the right way, you should probably have a drab of some good Irish Whiskey and start calling yourself by your Leprechaun name. Obviously. You can do that with the Leprechaun Name Generator App, free from the app store.

Then, consider your options for the day. You’ve already started drinking, so you should probably look into getting that good friend of yours who owes you one on the line. If you’re in California, set them up with the California office of Traffic Safety’s DDVIP app, which lists bars that offer designated drivers free (non-alcoholic) drinks and snacks as well as connecting them to Uber, Lyft or Curb in case they cave to the devil drink!

Now that that’s sorted, get thee to a pub! Eat some cabbage, some  corned beef and some soda bread! Do a jig (or pretend to)!

Now that you’re set up with a pint or some whiskey with a crew, take this opportunity to record the events just in case your brain…forgets to do that part. Check out St. Patrick’s Day Photo Free so that you fill that photo with Irish stereotype stickers!

If you’re single, check out the Irish Proverbs app for some St Patricks Day themed pick up lines, a great way to make people Irishly happy!

Finally, a very important St Patricks day reminder: Get home safe people!! Don’t you dare drink and drive! To help you out, Uber is offering first time users $20 off with promo code RIDESPD.

And finally, if an iPhone in a Guinness accident happens, don’t worry, we got you! Send us in that beer soaked smartphone and we’ll give you straight cashmoney!

Happy Weekend before St Patricks day guys! Be safe, drink well, and may the wind always be at your back and good things in your lap… Irish, Irish, Irish, Irish …

iPhone 6S rumors already?

Yup, now that we’re over the Spring forward special media event, we now have WWDC to look forward to, and with that comes the rumors as to what actually will be revealed or announced at the annual conference. Which means, generally, a SHINY NEW IPHONE!

Yay!

We’re expecting iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 plus…S? iPhone 6S Plus? Not sure how that whole naming thing will work with the Plus, but unless Apple are upping the Ante with their iPhone release schedule, we shouldn’t expect an iPhone 7 until 2016.

If we’re looking at a ‘s’ update then we’re probably looking at incremental spec updates rather than anything astonishing design or capability wise, especially in the same year as the Apple Watch is released.

We’re probably looking at two different sized new models, just like the iPhone 6  and the iPhone 6 Plus. The bigger screens have proven successful for Apple and they should definitely be happy to continue in that direction. Although we would be very surprised to see them move any larger than the current 5.5 inches of the iPhone 6 Plus. There have been rumors of a new third size, a 4-inch iPhone to be released alongside the larger phones, to please those who are still attached to the size of the 5S.

We’ll be expecting the new iPhones to have brand spanking new A9 processors from Samsung, which will apparently be 15% smaller, 20% more powerful and 35% more power than the current A8 chips. Camera improvements are also on the cards, possibly a two lens system that would provide the iPhone with the ability to take DSLR quality photos, although this rumor is highly debated, as it would require a rather large chassis design change.

More RAM could be a possibility, going up to 2Gb from the current 1GB in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus. The Touch ID feature as well as Siri would be expected to have some improvements. There have been rumors that the new iPhone could come with the new force touch haptic feedback seen on the Apple Watch, however that is a rumor not many are clinging to.

Then there are the constant rumors that have a little less credibility – that the new iPhones will start at 32GB instead of the beginning-to-be-too-meagre 16GB, that the new iPhones will have wireless charging (we wish!) and that the new iPhones will come with a mini unicorn that will grant you 3 wishes.

That one has far less credibility. Just sayin’

The new iPhones are, of course, believed to be announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco June 8th – 12th this year, which, at time of writing is 90 days, 16 hours 51 minutes and 42 seconds away. 

Following Apple’s previous release schedule, we should be looking at a September release.
