What Does The New iPad Tell Us About The Next Generation iPhone
While Apple’s obsession with secrecy is well known, there has been an interesting trend since the introduction of iPad in 2010.
Due to the annual product cycle of iOS devices, a new iPad in March, followed by the new iPhone in fall (since last year), the new iPad has given us some interesting clues about what to expect in the next iPhone (and also the other way round).
Though Apple can always pull a fast one on us this year, we take a look at what the new iPad (3rd generation iPad) tells us about the next generation iPhone (sixth generation iPhone).
Naming Convention:
The first thought that might have crossed your mind on reading the title is, of course, the naming convention that Apple broke with the release of the new iPad. It shed the numeric suffix attached with the name of the iPad, and the iPhone is expected to follow the trend.
That was a fairly easy one, considering that the MacBook and the iMac never had numbers attached with their names.
What more can we guess about the next iPhone from the new iPad?

If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed about a new iPhone, it’s that designers and developers the world over will have an idea of how it should look. Sometimes, they get it more right than others.
The iPhone 5 is no doubt all-but complete and locked away inside a vault at Apple headquarters, but that isn’t going to stop creative types from mocking up what they think, and indeed hope, the next generation smartphone will look like when it goes on sale later this year.
We’ve had plenty of efforts land on our metaphorical desktops over the years, be they special edition handsets designed to remember Steve Jobs by, or a mockup of what designer thought the iPhone 4S – at the time called the iPhone 5 – would look like.
Apple Will Adopt Fall Release Cycles For New iPhone From 2012 And Onwards [REPORT]
June 2007 will always go down as a momentous month in smartphone history due to the fact it marked the launch of the original Apple iPhone which set about a total change in the mobile industry.
The following year saw the launch of the iPhone 3G pushed back a month until July with the next two releases of the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 both following the original launch date, and coming in the month of June.
When June 2011 was approaching, the world held its breath in anticipation of the next generation device being launched to follow the same traditional pattern which Apple had set with previous product launches.
New Patent Suggests Apple Working on 3D iPhone Tech [video]
We love us some patents here at RedmondPie, and Apple is one company that just likes to apply for patents as if the fate of the world depended on it.
Of course, this being Apple, their patent applications tend to get picked up by the technology press and then picked apart in the hope we find a future product or service hidden in there somewhere!
Today is one day when such a patent has reared its head, and this one appears to pertain to a spot of 3D technology, something that Apple has yet to bring to any of its devices, be they iOS or Mac.
