Discount on Apple devices!

If you are at college, university or at school, you can get a discount on most Apple products. It is on the Apple website, called "Apple education". Students and teachers get Apple products on discount. For example, The 27" iMac desktop 3.2GHz, is £1,699. But with "Apple education" it is worth £1,597.20 and it is the same iMac, so you save £101.80. 

Note: you can only use this service, if you are at college, university or at school.

The website: http://store.apple.com/uk-edu, this website is for the United Kingdom.

For other countries, go onto the Apple website, www.apple.com. Then click on store, which is located in the top of the website. When on the store, scroll down to the bottom of the page. Until you find a link saying "Education store", then you can buy with discount.

Find My iPhone review!


Find My iPhone is incredible. If you are the type of person who loses their Apple devices a lot, this is the App for you!

If you do lose your iPhone, iPad or Mac, and have the App installed on your device, then you will definately find your Apple device. It has three amazing features like Sound (your device will make a loud noise), Lost mode (which will lock your device, with your own personal lock code) and Erase (to wipe everything on your device).

Then your device will be located on your screen, with street names, so your can locate your device easily. It also tells you how much battery life it has.

My view.... Great, 10/10. You will never lose your Apple device again. And if you only have one Apple device you can still locate it. By logging on to www.icloud.com. Download now on iTunes, the App name 'Find My iPhone'.

Sky+ App Review!

On the advert the Sky+ app looks great, right?

Well, they make it better than it seems. You can record TV programs easily, see what's on television. But to have the remote on your iPad or iPhone, you need your sky box to be connected to the internet, which is difficult I think, then your iPad or iPhone needs to be connected to the same internet connection.

All very complicated i think, why not just use your remote? That's the point of the remote!

My view, 5/10 I dont see any point in it, unless you need to record a program, and your not in your home.
Note: It all requires internet.

From the blogger of 'Apple Reviews and News', thank you.

iPhone sales slump, could this help Apple in banning Samsung's products!

Can you remember last year, Apple secured a massive victory over Samsung "coping" Apple's iphone. Apple was awarded $1.05 billion in damages.

Also last December, Apple were denied their request to ban all U.S sales of Samsung products, because it "violated" Apple's patients. But this failed.

Well now with iPhone 5 sales falling, this could help Apple ban Samsung products. Samsung should be worried because Apple have a good case (if it does go to court). What will the outcome be?

iPad Mini Review!

Note: When I write the 'original iPad', I mean the iPad 2.

If I have heard correctly, the iPad mini has been voted the best tablet, and present of the year. That's why I doing this review on it!

It is called the iPad mini as it is smaller than the original iPad, and the iPad mini is lighter, 53% lighter to be exact, and 23% thinner.

The iPad mini has a 7.9" LED backlit screen, which is completely amazing.

The iPad mini has got the powerful A5 chip, which is known for its fast, fluid performance. Apple has even created it to have 10 hour battery life, with a single charge.

 You can also film with 1080p HD, much better than the original iPad! And the camera is never better, with 5 megapixel iSight.

One of the best things about Apple's iPad mini, Siri, everyone loves Siri! You can talk into the microphone and Siri normally hears you clearly. And does what you say. Yesterday I wanted to see where my team was in the Barclays Premier League Table. So I said into the iPad mini's microphone "Premier League table", and straight away it came up with the premier league table. Siri is fab!

My opinion on the iPad mini is it is ..... Great, 10/10 but you should only get the iPad mini if you want a more portable iPad, because it is not more different than the original iPad except it is more portable, lighter and has more updated features. But that your decision to make. If you dont have an iPad and want one, I recommend this as it is an iPad and has updated features, and best of all its cheaper than the original iPad.

iPad 2 review!

iPad review!

Today, I have been asked to do a review on the iPad 2.

Before we start, if you want an iPad but cheaper than the iPad 3, (but still excellent) the iPad 2 is for you. If you would want the newer iPad with better features and dont worry about the cost. The iPad 3 is for you. Let me clarify, the 2 iPad's are alike but the iPad 3 has more updates, which results in better quality! The reason I am doing a review on the iPad 2, is that most people want the cheaper iPad, which is still fantastic as you will see.

The iPad 2 is "great, fantastic", these words greatly describe the iPad 2.

In the box you get: instructions, the iPad 2, Apple stickers and a charger.

The iPad is great, the graphics are good, and everything is quick, very quick. The ipad has a large screen, and a front camera (not the best of cameras, but still good.). On the back it is very stylish, black Apple logo, camera top left of the iPad and a built in speaker at the bottom left.

Features:
  • Silent mode
  • Ultra fast A5 chip
  • Bluetooth
  • Option of 3G
  • Fingerprint resistant coating
  • Wi-fi
  • HD camera (720p)
  • Usual built in Apps
My view, "must buy product" it's overall is 9/10. The reason it isn't 10/10 is the camera megapixels isn't great, it's still good but i would like an improvement on the camera, for my liking. On the iPad 3 they definately improved the camera. So if you love taking pictures, the iPad 3 is probably for you. But overall it great, thank you Apple. Get it now!

For more information go to www.apple.com, and for pictures.

iPhone 5 Review

iPhone 5 Review

"Beautiful, stunning" That's the words that came out my mouth, as soon as I saw the iPhone 5 on the packaging, I was gob-smacked!

What comes in the box: great (new design) earphones, iPhone 5, instructions, 2 apple stickers and a charger.

Let me start with the design, thin, light and slick. The front is longer than all the other iPhones, and i have heard romours "it's too long", it's false, it perfect size. The iPhone still has the front camera, which is superb. Now at the back, its beautiful, still with the usual shiny Apple logo. With the camera still at the top left, with a LED flash.

The screen is 4", with retina display, which is amazing. The software is A6, which is twice as fast.The graphics are stunning. Try it out at a retail store and you will be blown away!

Also, if your like me a massive fan on the internet. You will be glad to know it is much faster.

The camera is magnicent, it includes: 8 megapixel camera, panorama and great video recording in HD.

I highly recommend this product, well put it at the top of your wish list, IT'S GREAT!!! 5 star, fantastic, GET IT NOW!!!
