It has been Apple's tradition to release a follow up to their flagship smartphones  every fall(August/September), as a result of this there will always be an endless flood of  iPhone 5s concept and rumours from many enthusiasts some noteworthy and others just bizarre, some people have suggested it would come with a finger print scanner, this is not impossible and not the 1st time biometric rumuors will be attached to the iphone, same was said about the iphone 5 but we are not sure apple wants to go down that road yet, well I guess we will have to wait and see. However the latest development on the iPhone 5s  has been reported by Macrumours. Mac rumours revealed that the new Apple flagship device is said to have some spec bump setting it aside from its predecessors. The most noticeable is a bigger battery, though still not removeable, apple has added a bigger 5.92whr battery compared to the 5.42whr battery present in the iPhone 5 .  Its also rumoured to come with a dual L

Biometrics have become a part of our daily lives in many ways than one and to have them on our smartphones wouldn't be such a bad idea. Apple as its their custom to set trends when it comes to revolutionary smartphone features and hardware have begun to chart this course, other manufactures such as Samsung have flirted with the idea with rumours that we might be getting a fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy Note III set to be announced later in Q4 of this year but they have since rescinded that decision for logistics reasons. Apple can barely hide developments they are working on these days, different information about the upcoming iPhone 5S and 5C have leaked all over the internet, this is a new trend from Apple and i'm beginning to believe it might be a marketing stunt of some sort to get people excited about the phones, if that is their plan though i congratulate them because its working, i have been intrigued by the changes Apple recently brought to iOS 7 , the new featu

its a usual phenomenon that when smartphones are close to being released, we are usually covered in an avalanche of leaks as sources from every nook and cranny of the world give details about how the phone would look like and what specs it would have. We have been expecting Apple to release a follow up to the iphone 5 but it has been delayed probably as a result of the iOS 7 upgrade or their ongoing suits and countersuits with Samsung their once cordial OEM partner that made their previous display technology and the A5X ARM based SoC chip used in the iPad 3 Today we got more information from our sources on the reasons for the delay and few new shots of the actual phone. Apparently the device is being delayed because of  issues Apple's Manufacturers are experiencing with the LCD display (P.S: they should have stayed with Samsung :P) and the circuitry that is supposed to handle the fingerprint scanner feature supposedly to come with the phone.  Sources have it that t

I would really like to apologize for our absence in the past month but we are back to doing what we do best in this part of sub-saharan africa, which is bringing you reviews and news updates about gadgets and what nots.  Without any more further ado, we would be doing a review about apple's first attempt at a budget phone, Yes you read that right, A BUDGET PHONE . As you already know we at Technerd Nigeria are huge fans of budget phones because we believe smartphones shouldn't be limited to the rich and mighty alone, everybody deserves to get a piece of the pie. So you can imagine the excitement with which we accepted the idea of a budget iPhone, the phone comes with an assorted array of features such as the preinstalled iOS 7 which apple launched a while ago and some more,  BUT the price point is no where near budget, well lets just say we were left with a taste of rotten apples.  OVERVIEW  We were not totally caught with our pants down on this one, as its the usu

In recent times, research has shown that Android has overtaken Apple in terms of smartphone marketshare, I believe this is as a result of  various Android OEM's offering different varieties of phones from high-end aluminium cladded, expensive phones to plasticky,   Budget friendly Smartphones , this has positioned Android as the phone for every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants to enjoy a smartphone experience without having to pay dearly for it. In light of this development, Apple has refused to "Carry Last" and they now plan to release a cheaper version of their Flagship phone the iPhone 5 in plastic. This is not the first time we have seen leaks about this device , we first thought they were prototypes of Apple's iphone 5S as its apple's tradition to release a follow up to the iPhone in the fourth quarter of the year but we were later convinced that they were a cheaper version of the iPhone. Apple has been notorious about keeping projects like this under w

Apple unveiled the iPad Air a couple of weeks back and it’s a  breathtaking  masterpiece reminiscent of the innovation Apple has been known for. Apple revolutionized mobile computing with the release of the original iPad 1 in 2010 and since then they have maintained a vice-like grip on the Tablet Market which they almost single handedly created. OVERVIEW The new iPad is a refresh of the apple iPad line-up , it has a sleeker design whose inspiration was taken directly from the new iPad mini, Apple claims the device is faster, thinner and lighter than the iPad 4 and at first glance it bears no resemblance  to the latter ,  which justifies the rebranded name iPad Air. Apple has managed to hold of other Manufacturers who want a slice of the their Tablet Market share and this device along with its pint sized relative the iPad Mini are meant to fly the banner for them in 2014 would this innovation be enough to fight off the competition? We were able to spend a few days with the

We have heard Apple has been working on a budget iPhone in an effort to make their products more affordable to people in emerging markets and those who want to buy a premium smartphone without necessarily having to rob a bank to do so. It has been suggested that these low-cost iPhones will come with colorful polycarbonate plastic casings some even believe the iPhone 5s or the iPhone 6  might also share the same fate.This is a departure from Apple's boring black and white color scheme and it gives the users a range of color choices instead of having to depend on aftermarket casing. this color palette leaves a bad taste on my Palate.....just saying The image above is what Apple's budget smartphone is expected to look like. These images appear to have been leaked by weiphone.Looking at the pictures the colors look like what would appeal to kindergarten kids and not regular smartphone users. Apple should have stuck with the colors they use on their ipods or at lea
