iPhone 6 Rumors

It is almost that time of the year again....the new iPhone is going to come out in a couple months. There are a lot of rumor surround the new smartphone as far as what sort of specs it is going to have. First of all, it is going to have a larger screen. The market is leaning toward larger screens but the the past iPhones have not been keeping up with that demand. The larger screens are better for photographs and video conferencing and other communication services. Not only will it have a larger screen, it will also be thinner and lighter. As far as the software development goes, it will be a lot better and faster. Laptop Magazine reported that the iPhone 6 will potentially include a 20-nanometer quad-core, 64-bit A8 CPU. This would make it noticeably faster when browsing the Internet, processing graphics and running apps. That all sounds wonderful but we might have to wait a couple weeks longer because of some possible production glitches. That and people mauling each other over the newest shiny toy.

Personal Earbuds

Every person's ear is like a finger print, it is unique and has its own shape. Yet, earbuds are usually made to fit close enough. Wouldn't it be amazing to have your own custom earbuds that are made specially for your ears? This means that they will not be falling out when you are jogging or just using a phone service. Enter OwnPhones. These earbuds are wireless and custom 3D printed just for your ear based off of a scan that you can do with your phones. It is a project on Kickstarter which claims that it will be the best earphone that you have ever worn. The price at this point is about $300. The goal has been reached on Kickstarter and there are already several prototypes. This is just the beginning of 3D printing projects and I am sure that there will be more to come.
