Is this a Tray of iPhone 5S Batteries !

// , , , , , , , , ,

The iPhone 5S release could arrive in late September or Early October, and new photos show that manufacturers may already be ramping up for iPhone 5S production.
Early this morning a photo showing trays of batteries appeared online, which the leaker claims are iPhone 5S batteries waiting for an iPhone battery connector to be attached before heading to assembly lines for the iPhone 5S.
The leaked photo comes by way ofnowhereelse.fr, which previously leaked several alleged iPhone 5S parts and has a history of providing Apple leaks. The photo below allegedly shows trays of iPhone 5S batteries stacked and waiting for a final piece before being shipped off to Foxconn where the assembly will likely take place.
Do these trays contain iPhone 5S batteries?
Do these trays contain iPhone 5S batteries?
In the photo we see 24 batteries on the surface and what appears to be a stack of 40 or more trays, which means we could be looking at roughly 500 batteries. That’s assuming these are iPhone 5S batteries and not just random batteries for a phone or an iPhone knockoff. There is also a possibility that they are iPhone 5 batteries waiting for markings and connectors.
A set of previous iPhone 5S leaks showed room for a larger battery and a battery with a slightly higher capacity, but none of the leaks are verified, which means it is not clear if Apple is planning to put a bigger battery in the new iPhone . There is hope for better iPhone battery life with the iPhone 5S though. Apple recently delivered a huge battery life gain on the MacBook Air with a small battery size increase and more efficient internals.
iPhone 5S leaks are growing as the rumored September launch approaches. Recently leaks of an alleged iPhone 5S back appeared, showing a new pill-shaped dual-LED flash. One recurring rumor is a dual-LED flash and a better camera sensor. Apple upgraded the camera in the iPhone 4S and in the iPhone 5, and will likely do the same with the iPhone 5S.

While there are certain to be new iPhone 5S features, the overall look of the iPhone 5S should match the iPhone 5. Some rumors claim the new iPhone will come in a variety of colors, but this remains to be confirmed.

Apple MacBook Air Patented; Beware, Ultrabook Makers

// , , , , , , , , , 0
MacBook-Air-600
Apple was just awarded 19 patents, one of which is for the design of the MacBook Air.

In theory, Apple could leverage its patent on the Air to try and block manufacturers of other light, thin laptops from marketing their products in the U.S.

The patent, No. D654,072, refers to an “ornamental design for an electronic device,” and lists Steve Jobs as one of its inventors. While the term “MacBook Air” isn’t cited, the drawings of a laptop with tapered design is unmistakable.

Just before the patent was awarded on Valentine’s Day, a report on 9to5 Mac alleged that Apple had approached one of its Taiwanese suppliers, Pegatron, about ceasing production of another laptop with an eerily similar design, the Asustek Zenbook.

Pegatron, which recently began manufacturing iPhones for Apple, will reportedly cease Zenbook production in March, forcing Asus to look elsewhere.

Although the action, if true, occurred prior to the date when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded Apple its patent on the MacBook Air, it shows that Apple won’t hesitate to move against any competitor it sees as copying its ideas. The patent could embolden Apple to go after other makers of Ultrabooks, the Windows PC world’s answer to the MacBook Air, a project that Intel spearheaded.

There are several Ultrabooks on the market now, with dozens more on the way. If Apple decides to go after Air clones the way it’s waged its legal war against Android manufacturers, the consumer PC industry could be in trouble. Many companies — with Intel in the lead — have a lot riding on Ultrabooks, and the prospect of fighting Apple in court would make any CEO nervous.

However, there’s a simple way around the patent: Just design something different. Ultrabooks like the HP Spectre and Lenovo Yoga look nothing like the MacBook Air and should be in the clear.

However, Dell and Samsung — Apple’s favorite legal target — might want to start preparing counterarguments.

iPad 3: Which Features Do You Want?

The iPad 3 rumor mill is ramping up, with the latest report that Apple’s newest tablet offering will feature 4G connectivity.

Many expect the next iteration of the iPad to be unveiled at an Apple event in early March, though Apple has yet to announce such an event. Behind the latest wave of rumors come reports that resales of current iPad products are shooting up. If you’re an owner of an iPad looking to upgrade, now might be the time to resell — though at a risk, of course, as we don’t actually know when the new device will arrive.

Of course, you could spend all your time trying to keep up with the latest Apple rumors and still not actually know anything. Nevertheless we enjoy the endless speculation. I asked Mashable‘s expert staff what features they want to see and what they hear users say they’re craving the most in a new iPad. Our poll below reflects the most common and most realistic expectations.

There were some more outlandish responses, too, for ideas that are unlikely to appear in the next iPad. For example, Pete Pachal suggested he’d like to see a bendable body, solar charging capability, and handwriting recognition. Not to be outdone, Matt Silverman suggested…cupholders.

We want to hear what you’re hoping to see. Take our poll below and let us know in the comments what features we’ve left out.
