Hey, i know i said i won't be doing a roundup of tech news but it seems that i've got a little extra time to do it so here it goes.
We all know Apple released their iPhone 5 today but i'll be saving that for monday's blog. Some of you might have already got it, It's iOS 6 and it was released on the 19th featuring 3D maps with flyover, a better integrated siri, for launching apps and finding out who one the football game last night. Facebook integration, you can post your pictures directly to Facebook and you can post your status right from the notification centre. The only reason why i'm downloading iOS 6 onto my iPhone 3GS is to see if it actually fixes the battery problem i've had with it and hopefully i can throw away my iPhone 3G (it's an iPOD) and start using my iPhone 3GS as an iPod. Well it just 24 hours of iOS 6 being released, it's already on 15% of iOS devices. That's just phenomal isn't it! It's got to be the biggest launch of any Software upgrade ever, Apple announced at the iPhone 5 conference that they just sold their 400 millionth iOS device. Right now picture 15% of that! i lot of people won't actually know that it's come out yet and they might be still stuck on iOS 4, Just like my Dad.
Here's another thing about Apple tech news. iMessage was down a couple of days ago and causing a widespread of complains on twitter and the forums on Apple's support. This was due to the fact that Apple had an Uproar of people upgrading and there was that many people using it and it was detained to crash.
Google aquried snapseed this week. Now i will be honest, i have no idea what this company is. i think it's a rival of Instagram, It's slightly the same thing, taking a picture and then adding a filter , uploading it to Facebook and letting the world know what you're having for tea. Honestly i hate these people because they are taking up bandwidth that the internet desperately needs. The reason behind google buying snapseed and i think Google are going to integrate into Google + and try to get more users actually using google +. Also 2 weeks ago Google announced that it had over 400 million members signed up to google plus and you know what the sad thing is, is that Only 100 million people actually go back on it at least once a month.
Thanks for reading and that's been the tech news of this week. Sorry if this Blog seems rushed but it slightly is and it also might not make sense but if you've been reading my blogs ever since the start, you'll notice that i never make sense haha
