Apple Will Reduce iPhone 5 Dock Connector to Smaller Size

iPhone 5 Andy McGee 22.07.2012

Rumors that Apple will produce iPhone 5 smaller dock connector and refuse from the familiar to all iPhone, iPad and iPod users 30-pin connector. The hints began appearing in February of this year. The most probable cause of such a step by Apple company is to maximize the usable space inside the new iPhone. Also, in pictures of iPhone 5, which were leaked to the Web, it is seen very unusual hole where there is usually a 30-pin connector.
If that is not enough for you to make sure that the potential change in the shape and size of iPhone 5 smaller dock connector is on the nose, then there is news about new patents owned by Apple and are called “Power adapters to power and / or charging peripherals. ” And in the description accompanying the patent, there were some interesting lines about iPhone 5 smaller dock connector.
Reducing the total number of connectors for peripheral devices will reduce the number of connectors and cables needed to operate the device. This in turn will reduce the size and cost of the product, as well improving the quality and usability of the device (due to fewer wires).

This can be an excellent reason to abandon the usual wide 30-pin connector. That is why it is expected that this fall iPhone 5 will be released with the smaller dock connector for synchronizing and charging with your computer. Some sources say that it will be 19-pin connector.
Definitely sure, all of the above written is nothing more than speculation on the crumbs of information, which comes also from Cupertino company. In the autumn we will know for sure how much less will be the slot in the new iPhone, and how many pins it would lose. Meanwhile, manufacturers of accessories can gradually raise the panic.
How do you think: is iPhone 5 smaller dock connector true? Or there is just another rumor?

ChargeCard: iPhone Charger in Your Pocket

News Mark Postman 23.07.2012

There’s a nice way to forget about problems with charging your iDevice and it’s called ChargeCard iPhone charger. Using of Apple’s 30-pin connector is probably justified, but it probably will be eliminated by putting a 19-pin connector to the next iPhone. It creates a lot of inconvenience to users. For example, a problem to charge a discharged phone outside the home, unless you are absolutely randomly have a little white cable or wireless charger with you. In recent years the situation has improved significantly – in the big cities the army of iPhone owners are  getting bigger, but such situations still happen. The solution is simple and obvious – the cable should be always carried with you. Noah Dentsel and Adam Miller are here to implement this thought in practice.

The idea of ​​an ChargeCard accessory launched at Kickstarter, and the result was not long in coming. For 5 days they’ve collected the amount of money needed to start the production and more than 2,000 depositors have confirmed the consistency of ideas. What is ChargeCard actually?
ChargeCard – is a mimicry of the cable under the plastic card with all its consequences: the cable can be carried in your wallet, business card or a breast pocket of the shirt, and even hidden in the iPhone case with a special section. The physical dimensions of ChargeCard (height and width) are identical to a usual credit card, only the thickness bigger – 2.54 mm vs. 0.76 mm. Solid ABS plastic is used as a base material for a card with 30-pin Apple connector, flexible foot with USB is made of a thermoplastic elastomer.
The creators say the novelty has a lots of benefits, including not only compact size, but also the ability to connect to hard reachable sockets, use the phone in a large case and overall reliability.
At the stage of collecting pre-orders the ChargeCard iPhone charger available in three colors: black, white and turquoise-brown, also Birds on the wire available in limited edition. ChargeCard cost starts at $ 20, and international shipping will cost another $5. The contribution can be made on the Kickstarter project page. Given that the original cable (by the way, is not the most rugged) on store.apple.com costs $19, then the price of “cable card” is not too high.

iPhone 5G Wi-Fi Module to Appear In 2013

News Mark Postman 26.07.2012

The new models of iPhone and iPad are predicted to include 5G Wi-Fi module called Broadcom BCM4335. Despite the wide distribution of networks of 3G and 4G generations, the majority of mobile traffic is of course, generated through Wi-Fi. The new Broadcom’s wireless module should make this standard even more attractive.

iPhone 5G Wi-Fi Module

Broadcom has introduced a new chip BCM4335 for smartphones and tablets, which supports data transfer protocol 802.11ac, also known as the fifth generation of Wi-Fi. Most probably, this module will be installed on the iPhone and the iPad on their release in 2013.
The main differences of BCM4335 from the previous model – is primarily a reduction in energy consumption. According to the developers, improved chip spends 40-50% less energy in the mode of transmission and reception of data. In addition the manufacturer managed to reduce power consumption in standby mode. Ability to restrain the appetites of the wireless module will allow Apple to make the battery bigger capacity and smaller and thus reduce the thickness of mobile devices on iOS.

Broadcom BCM4335 5G Wi-Fi Speed

Another feature of the Broadcom BCM4335 – a dual-band operation with support of:

• Wifi Direct

• Wi-Fi Miracast

• Wi-Fi Passpoint

WiFi Direct is an extension of the standard set of Wi-Fi protocols,  and is able to receive and transmit data from one device to another directly. Having a mobile dual-band module available, Apple must take advantage of its opportunities for integration in the next-generation iPhone and the iPad with the updated AirDrop technology. Unlike the Broadcom BCM4334 module that will be used in the sixth-generation iPhone, the Broadcom BCM4335 with 5G Wi-Fi support promises to include more features.
Using the Broadcom BCM4335 module in smartphones and tablets will allow engineers from Cupertino to organize a transparent exchange of data between Mac computers and future generations mobile devices on iOS.
Broadcom has already sent samples to interested companies to test the BCM4335. Mass production of the new chips will be launched next year.
Let’s hope that the new 5G Wi-Fi standard will make the data transfer and web browsing even faster. According to Broadcom, it surely will be so.
