Another Apple Original TV Series?

Guess what you never knew you wanted until now?

 

A non-scripted Apple backed TV series, created with Will.i.am, that will, ahem, ‘spotlight the app economy’.

 

So vague, so weird, and yet, so intriguing?

 

It’s Apple, so obviously, there’s no more information. Well, a teeny bit. It was originally conceived by Ben Silverman who is an executive producer on shows like Jane the Virgin, The Biggest Loser, Marco Polo, and Flaked.

 

This will be alongside Apple’s other TV foray – a series called Vital Signs that will star Beats co-founder and Apple executive Dr. Dre.

 

Intriguing cross promotion, Apple. Intriguing and weird.

iPhone rumor!

Upcoming iPhone models will reportedly have OLED screens as early as 2017, according to reports. The screens will most likely be made by Samsung and LG – with Apple apparently signing a $12 million dollars to secure the deal.

 

OLED means Organic Light-emitting diode. Essentially, it means thinner, lighter, more power efficient and more flexible screened iPhones coming our way.

 

We like all those things!

 

Samsung already use OLED technology, and Apple does too – on the Apple Watch.

 

If these reports are incorrect, we can still probably expect OLED screens on iPhones, just maybe not as soon.

 

 

 

Apple’s predicted iPhone lineup gets bigger

So, this year we’re expecting a 4-inch iPhone named the iPhone SE, and 3 models of the iPhone 7 – ( iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and possibly iPhone Pro).

 

Amid all that, there appears a rumor of another iPhone model that may appear in 2017-18. A 5.8-inch model, to be precise. This model will incorporate another rumor floating around – an OLED screen.

 

 

The iPhone 7 models that are expected in the fall will most likely have a thinner body, flush rear camera, and stereo speakers, and – no 3.5-mm headphone jack.

 

The iPhone Pro, if a reality, will feature a dual-lens rear camera.

 

What’s your perfect iPhone size?
