iPhone 6 Designs Mock up by Antoine Brieux

Apple's reputation on great strategies and several successes may hurt the company due to the last leak of iPhone 6 designs, which apparently made a huge fuzz on modern-tech community online.

But then again, who won't fall inlove with these?

Yes, the rumors may be true that the stakes have moved up to the iPhone 6 with designs mockup by Antoine Brieux. He uses ergonomic grip quite cleverly and formulates it with dimensions 125 mm x 63 mm with a 4.9-inch screen. A concept where the home button is moved to the left side of the phone (used with the thumb), leaving a huge screen space for one to enjoy.

According to Christina Bonnington at Wired, iPhone may be be "housed in Liquidmetal" - the commercial name for an alloy of titanium, zirconium, nickel, copper, and other metals. When it hardens, Liquidmetal retains "high strength, high resistance to wear against scratching and denting, and [has] a good strength-to-weight ratio." Cooled, it looks "smooth like liquid," and may bestow iPhone 6 "its special swagger."

I definitely know how you feel but let's not get too excited, okay? LOL!

iPhone 6 may feature a much larger display — possibly 4.6 inches versus its current 3.5-inch set-up — and Apple has already started placing orders to its suppliers, says Reuters. While that sounds nice, making "a 4.6-inch display would mean that the size of the iPhone itself would be much larger than it currently is," according to Jordan Crook at TechCrunch.

It may seem realistic but more likely, Apple is working on a 4-inch display to "fit on to the iPhone at its current size." Keeping the same iPhone size sounds more like an Apple move, says MG Siegler at Parislemon. "A device that stays the same size, but gets a slightly larger screen for one more row of apps"? Even more exciting stuff!

So what do you think? 

I think it's awesome and will be worth the wait! :)

Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview

Steve Jobs will be making an appearance on the sliver screen, and we’re not talking about the biopic that Sony is backing.

Missing footage from the 1995 PBS documentary Triumph of the Nerds features an interview with Steve Jobs during a pivotal time in Silicon Valley’s history. The interview was apparently lost for many years, and it has now resurfaced to be shown in Landmark theaters around the nation beginning November 16th.


The Los Angeles Times reports:

The movie, “Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview,” is from a conversation Jobs conducted with Robert Cringely for the author and producer’s 1996 miniseries “Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires” about the origins of the personal computer industry and the emergence of Silicon Valley as a technology hub.

Although Jobs gave a 70-minute interview to Cringely, only 10 minutes of it were used in the finished product. When Cringely was making the sequel “Nerds 2.0.1: A Brief History of the Internet,” he went looking for the rest of the Jobs interview, but the footage had vanished.

“We lost all the raw footage completely,” Cringely said in an interview.

The missing footage has been found on a VHS copy of the interview that was stored in the documentary director’s garage. It had been sitting there collecting dust for years.

The guys behind the documentary contacted Landmark about getting the interview into theaters, and the chain agreed to give it distribution in 19 US cities, including Palo Alto, for a limited time.

Intriguing.
