    Apple iPhone 5S battery tests completed, some improvement

    The Apple iPhone 5S has been out in the market for quite some time. Bringing about a fairly big hardware upgrade over the previous Apple iPhone 5 with the 64-bit A7 processor and chipset along with a number of other upgrades, benchmarks of the iPhone 5S have been quite good in terms of performance. However, it has taken some time for complete battery benchmarks to be done. These battery benchmarks have since been done and the short answer is that the iPhone 5S is a bit more energy efficient than the iPhone 5 with a 5 hour or so battery life compared to the previous version. Bear in mind that this is on really heavy usage and that usuallyt, on normal usage, most users can expect about 10 hours or so worth of battery time on a single charge. This still isn't good enough to take out the battery life champion nor some of the other smartphones in the same price range but it does offer some measure of improvement over the previous iPhone.

  • TYPO Keyboard turns your Apple iPhone into a BlackBerry, coming CES 2014

    TYPO Keyboard turns your Apple iPhone into a BlackBerry, coming CES 2014

    If you have the money and want a tech device, why not invest in it and build it? This seems to have been the idea behind the TYPO Keyboard which is a QWERTY keyboard add-on for touchscreen smartphones like the Apple iPhone 5 and 5S. Backed by American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, who has already sunk in $1 million into the venture, the TYPO Keyboard looks a lot like the QWERTY keyboards you'll find on a BlackBerry device, complete with contoured keys and a backlight for typing in dim or low-light conditions. The add-on covers up the Apple iPhone Home button making the iPhone longer and thicker but still allowing the use of auto-correct while also offering quick-access to currency keys. So far the TYPO Keyboard is only usable for the Apple iPhone 5 and 5S but it is being developed for other touchscreen smartphones as well. While there isn't any Malaysia release date, this is mainly because the TYPO Keyboard is due for release at CES 2014 at a price tag of $99 (RM318).

  • Apple announces iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S docks

    Apple announces iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S docks

    While it isn't the first time that Apple has made docks for their iPhones, last year's Apple iPhone 5 didn't get one, leading many to believe that Apple had just stopped doing that sort of thing. However, recently Apple has announced docks for their newest Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C smartphones. Since the plastic backed iPhone 5C is bigger, the dock for the iPhone 5C is also bigger which means that it only works with the iPhone 5C. The iPhone 5S is identical in shape and size with the iPhone 5 so the iPhone 5S dock can be used with both smartphones. As usual, the docks are white and come with audio out ports so you can attach a speaker if you want. So far there isn't any Malaysia release date or pricing for the docks just yet but they should be available during the Malaysia local launch later on.
