iOS 7 faces delays due to Jony Ives’ massive graphic overhaul

When Jony Ives took over as the lead UI designer for iOS last year after Scott Forstall got the boot, most people were automatically thinking of a massive graphical overhaul for the next version of iOS, and it sounds like that’s the case. The launch of iOS 7 is being pushed back until September as Ives replaces the familiar pseudo-realistic page tears and stitches with a more modern, minimal and flat, almost Windows Metro-like design.

Apple files a patent for a wrap-around screen iPhone

In non-April Fool’s Day related news, it looks like that Apple some time ago filed a patent for an iPhone that would have a curved, wrap-around display that uses both the front and back of the phone.

There’s a Japanese Steve Jobs biography manga. Because of course there is.

If and when Apple releases an iPhone phablet, this is what it might look like

While Steve Jobs said that he only wanted one size of iPhone, it’s inevitable that as the market grows, people will want different sizes and different prices. With the iPad mini doing really well, many think it’s inevitable that Apple might come out with a “phablet”, a 5” device that’s bigger than most smartphones, smaller than a tablet. And this is what it might look like.
Apple is instantly nuking iCloud emails with the phrase “barely legal teen” in them

Some email services have more aggressive spam filters than others, but recently, it looks like Apple has been insta-deleting any email sent with the phrase “barely legal teen”. Obviously, this is an attempt to try and nip people networking for kiddie porn, but they’ll just use a new phrase if they use that phrase already in their emails to each other. I don’t even want to think about those emails. Gaaah my brain.

Apple announces a 128gb iPad for some reason

Well, the reason is clear— Apple just wants to continue to diversify its iPad line, but does anyone really need a 128gb iPad right now? A large capacity phone is one thing, for carrying around all your music and photos and videos, but Apple wants you to store most of that shit in the cloud anyway. Plus, at a price of $800 for WiFi or $930 for 3G, you’re starting to get into MacBook Air territory anyway. But hey… a 128gb iPad now exists.

Saying that customers shouldn’t have to choose between price and having the latest gadgets, Walmart announced yesterday that it would be adding the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 to its stupidly cheap pre-paid plan. Since it’s a pre-paid plan, you’ll have to buy the phones up front, but after that it’s just $45/mo for unlimited everything.
