With Apple having announced the date earlier on today for WWDC 2013, we’re bracing ourselves for a marked rise in the number of Apple-related news, rumors and reports. With iOS 6 having failed, in the opinion of many, to bring any dramatic improvements on iOS 5, the concepts and ideas for iOS 7 have been arriving thick and fast. The one you’re about to see below, as well as having been presented in a very professional manner, is one of the best iOS 7 concepts yet, and features a radically redesigned interface including a new Notification Center, widget support, and lock screen toggles. Catch the full demonstration video after the break!

What I like about this particular concept, which comes courtesy of designer Rafael Justino, is that not only has the problem of widgets, or specifically, the lack thereof, been addressed, but the whole look has been altered to give a fresher, contemporary appearance.


My favorite aspect is the ease in which many elements can be customized. If you want to change the aesthetics of any part of the UI aside from the wallpaper in iOS, it’s a closed door at stock level, and anybody looking to theme must facilitate a trip to the dark side by means of a jailbreak. Here, though, elements can be changed with ease, and the ability to flit between black and white depending on your particular device color / wallpaper is a very nice touch.

Having seen the clip a couple of times, I really do wish this were a real iOS 7 showcasing video. It addresses many of the ecosystem’s shortcomings while also offering a visual refresh, and if Apple were to unveil something along these lines in June, I suspect many Apple fans would be pleased.


Will Apple go the whole hog with customization, toggles and widgets? Perhaps not; but with Jony Ive, Apple’s lead industrial designer, now having a greater say on how the software looks and behaves, we are likely to see quite a few key alterations when iOS 7 finally makes it out of obscurity.

With that WWDC announcement now done and dusted, it probably won’t be long before we see an iOS 7 beta, and although it mightn’t necessarily represent the final release, it will give us a strong indication as to the direction Apple is headed.

I don't know weather  its a rumor or what but when I came across this News I said : "time for the next Techonomix Post"

So, here are the following Details:-


Rumour mills have for long speculating on the launch of the alleged iPhone 5S. Now, a news report also claims to have got the launch date of the much-awaited smartphone, the follow up to Apple's current flagship iPhone 5.

French website Nowhereelse.fr, which has a decent record of leaks surrounding Apple products, h
as released the image of an internal document of Japanese telecom operator KDDI. This document states that iPhone 5S will be announced on June 20 and hit the stores in July. The document also calls the device iPhone 5S, giving credence to speculation saying that the phone will not be named iPhone 6.

This internal document states that the device will get an upgraded 13MP camera, as compared to the 8MP unit used in its predecessor. The phone will run on iOS 7, it states.It was also Said that the Smartphone will costs aroun $99.

Previously, a Chinese website leaked the first photos of iPhone 5S under production. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, citing supply chain sources, said the upcoming smartphone will feature a 13MP camera, snappier processor, fingerprint recognition sensor and more powerful LED flash. Various analysts, including Kuo, Jeremy Horwitz of iLounge, Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster and Peter Misek of Jeffries, expect Apple to launch the device in the third quarter of 2013.

Sunil Lalvani

Struggling smartphone-maker BlackBerry has appointed Sunil Lalvani as the new managing director for India.

Lalvani, who used to head BlackBerry's enterprise business in the country, will replace Sunil Dutt, who left the company in March.

The top-management overhaul comes just months after Canada based BlackBerry, formerly known as Research in Motion, unveiled it's latest touch-based smartphon
e - BlackBerry Z10.

Once the most popular device among corporates, BlackBerry has been losing market share to rival mobile phone vendors such as Samsung and Nokia over the past two years. Its market share in India fell from about 15% in 2011 to less than 8% in 2012, according to analyst estimates.

Lalvani's appointment is latest in a series of top-management changes at the beleaguered phone maker. In 2011, Dutt took over after BlackBerry's managing director Frenny Bawa stepped down from her position. Over the past two months, Rick Costanzo, the company's executive vice-president for global sales, was leading the team in India.

In an email statement, Lalvani said the company's focus will be on driving the latest mobile solutions to consumers and enterprises in India. He has about 20 years of industry experience and has worked at companies such as Nokia and Cisco.

Tech giant Apple has launched a bid to
overturn a court ruling that orders it to run
an embarrassing national newspaper
advertisement admitting that Samsung did
not unlawfully copy its iPad design.
LONDON: Tech giant Apple has launched a
bid to overturn a court ruling that orders it
to run an embarrassing national newspaper
advertisement admitting that Samsung did
not unlawfully copy its iPad design.
A British High Court judge had ordered
Apple "to put advertisements in the
relevant newspapers and to put a
statement on their United Kingdom
website", admitting its Korean rival had not
infringed the iPad design.
Apple, however, argued that, in finding
Samsung had not infringed its design, the
trial judge had place too much emphasis
on differences between the design of the
back of Galaxy Tab range and the back of
the iPad, the Telegraph reports.
Michael Silverleaf, representing Apple, said
that the differences highlighted in the
ruling amounted only to "decoration" that
should not carry significant weight in
judging whether Samsung copied.
Whereas the back of the iPad is almost
featureless, Galaxy Tabs have a separate,
different coloured section along one edge
that contains the camera and flash. T
"I say he was wrong to take these aspects
[of colour] into account at all. This [the
iPad] is a design about shape. You don't
make a non-infringing design by making
the same shape and decorating it," the
paper quoted Silverleaf, as saying.
He said that more weight should have been
given to the similarities between the front
of the iPad and the front of Galaxy Tabs.
Silverleaf pointed out that both designs
have a thick black border around their
rectangular touch screens.
"Too much weight was given to the features
of the back and far too little weight to the
features of the front," Silverleaf said.
