This week we take some time to discuss the rumors surrounding a redesigned flat version of iOS. Jony Ive has taken over UI design for iOS and this could mean that iOS 7 gets a complete redesign. Would a Metro style iOS 7 work? I’m worried about a new design, but I guess we’ll all have to wait for its unveiling at WWDC 2013.

Apple’s rumored low-cost plastic iPhone now has a price and alleged specifications according to Japanese blog Macotakara. The news came via AppleInsider stating that Apple’s plans for an inexpensive iPhone have been pushed back until 2014.
This is definitely something from the future. Apple’s recently published patent reveals a slap bracelet iWatch design with a flexible display that wraps around your wrist. Just think, you could display a neon ’90s design/pattern on it and turn it into a retro bracelet.
If you haven’t picked up the fourth generation iPad yet, I’d keep on waiting. Leaked photos of Apple’s iPad 5 have surfaced and it looks very sleek. If these photos are real, the fifth generation iPad will have the same body style as its miniature brother.
Would you buy a 128GB iPad? I’m not sure I’d know what to do with all of the space. According to 9to5Mac, Apple is getting ready to release one in the very near future. While there’s been no mention of an exact price point, we can assume that it’ll cost you a pretty penny.
Apple is known for its secrecy when it comes to software and products. For the most part, they do a good decent job at keeping unreleased information out of the spotlight. Today, a former Apple employee shares a unique story on how they kept Safari a secret by disguising is as Mozilla.
Streaming radio is probably one of the best ways to listen to music aside from buying a bunch of albums through iTunes. Apps like Pandora, Spotify and iHeartRadio give us the ability to create custom artist or genre playlists and listen to similar music. In my opinion, it’s way better than the actual radio, but these streaming apps may soon have some stiff competition. Apple may be launching a similar service at some point this year.
Lately, we’ve been hearing that Apple’s next-generation iPhone is set to launch at some point this summer. Previously rumors claim a mid-2013 launch for the “iPhone 5S.” Now there’s word that Apple may offer color and size options for the next iPhone.
