Hello! My name is Jonathan. I come to you from the historical city of Charleston, SC. I recently graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Computer Engineering. I have a thing for technology, photography, girls named Emma and Zooey, and music.
Those are four words I never thought I’d say.
I’ve never used a Windows Phone for more than a few minutes, but I really have to applaud Microsoft. Unlike Google, they did not just make an exact copy of iOS when they created Windows Phone 7. Unfortunately for them, however, they took three years to make something original and now have a serious challenge if they wish to have a dominant mobile operating system. I won’t be cheering for them to become the leader, but I wouldn’t mind if they were second.
My favorite part?
But the killer was that Steve wanted to go all out on this. He wanted to meet the lucky winner in full Willy Wonka garb. Yes, complete with top hat and tails.
I would have LOVED to see this.

… but everyone is bored with reading how Apple is just destroying everyone else. You know, the truth.
Until today I wasn’t sure when would see the next iPhone. Would it be in June like it used to be or would it be October like it was last year. Well, after today I think it’s safe to say it will be the latter.

During their quarterly results, Qualcom said they expect to see delays in their newest LTE capable cell chip. A chip that will most likely be used in the new iPhone.

Remember a few months ago when Apple reported record iPhone sales for their holiday quarter? I see no reason why they would not want to have a new iPhone released during that time again. It clearly equals tens of billions of dollars.

The iPhone 4S was released in October of last year. They don’t need to release a new iPhone before the current one has been available for 12 months. They are still selling more smart phones than any other smartphone combined.
So there you have it. Don’t expect to see the new iPhone until October. Which begs the question: what will we see at WWDC in June? My prediction is that we will see a preview of Mountain Lion and new MacBook Pros that look like MacBook Airs. Say goodbye to you cd drives, folks.
Oh, and the new iPhone will be called exactly that. Not iPhone 5 or iPhone 6, but simply (the new) iPhone.
I did not think this was possible, but I think I love Zooey even more now.
For a long time I have been wanting a larger iPhone. However, lately, I am starting to think that a smaller iPad is going to happen before a larger iPhone.
I completely agree with everything MG says (as usual). I just hope he is proven right sooner rather than later.
Tim Cook unboxing his new iPad. Hilarious.
What really mattered was their witness. Clearly that is what Invisible Children and Daisey hoped to do.
But that is why it is so important for them be exceedingly accurate, to rise to the highest levels of those standards.
MG Siegler:
If you’re at all interested in LTE in an Apple product, obviously, get a new iPad. If you read a lot on your iPad, get the new iPad. If you take a lot of photos and videos (yeah you, the joker in the front row of the concert with your iPad in the air), get the new iPad. If you play a lot of games on the iPad, get the new iPad.
If you don’t yet have an iPad, get the new iPad.

It still has a button.
This is the second thing I noticed about next week’s iPad event invite.
