iPhone 8 Event Date Rumored for September 12, Device Launch September 22


As we approach the end of August and the time that Apple typically sends out invitations for its annual iPhone reveal event, a new report by Mac4Ever [Google Translate] has pegged this year's iPhone 8, iPhone 7s, and iPhone 7s Plus event date as Tuesday, September 12. The site then predicted the three new iPhone models will go on sale a week and a half later, on Friday, September 22.

The weekdays match a pattern that Apple historically follows each year, setting an event on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and then actually launching the new iPhone a few weeks later, on a Friday. Mac4Ever's prediction is sourced by information gained from a few French telephone carriers, but at this point any general event date guess on a Tuesday or Wednesday in early September could end up as the winning date chosen by Apple, so continue to take these event rumors with a grain of salt.

Apple's financial quarter ends Saturday, September 30, so it's likely that the company intends to have its iPhone 8 event early in September, followed by the launch a week or so later. This would provide enough leeway between the launch and the end of the quarter to account for a boost in iPhone sales figures.

For this reason, in the first week of September, Wednesday, September 6 is an option for the event, although Tuesday, September 5 is less likely due to its close proximity to Labor Day the day prior, which would likely require press to travel on the holiday. If Apple held an event on September 6, the iPhones could potentially launch Friday, September 15.

The second week of September includes Mac4Ever's predicted date of September 12, and Wednesday, September 13 could also potentially be a possibility for the event. Either of these dates suggest an iPhone debut on Friday, September 22.

Looking back at the past few years of iPhone launches, the previously mentioned dates are most likely when users can expect Apple to announce and release the iPhone 8, iPhone 7s, and iPhone 7s Plus.

2012 -- iPhone 5 -- announced September 12, released September 21

2013 -- iPhone 5s/5c -- announced September 10, released September 20

2014 -- iPhone 6 -- announced September 9, released September 19

2015 -- iPhone 6s -- announced September 9, released September 25

2016 -- iPhone 7 -- announced September 7, released September 16

The September iPhone event is also rumored to see the unveiling of a 4K Apple TV and potentially the Apple Watch Series 3, although when those products would launch is unclear. The same event will also see Apple delve deeper into new features surrounding iOS 11, macOS High Sierra, watchOS 4, and tvOS 11.

So this is basically / Asi que esto es basicamente... [SPANISH TEXT]

Si amigos, basicamente la idea del blog fue introducir a todos en el mundo de la tecnologia y hacer que esta no fuera tan "compleja" o "complicada" para todos. Ultimamente no hago reviews propios, ya que me tomo la molestia de elegir buenas noticias (que considero) para su placer informativo (bueno, las visitas me dicen que lo estoy haciendo bien) Pero, y si algun dia llegase a terminar todo? Regalar el dominio? Vender el blog? Nah, muchas veces me lo he preguntado pero... por algo senti el deseo de escribirles, desde mi misma mano y tecla, porque esto es lo que me apasiona: la tecnologia, la programacion, el llevar todo niveles superiores, exponenciar mi capacidad de analisis. De esto se trata todo, esto es basicamente el alma del blog: tecnologia. Actualmente me encuentro en otra ciudad, desde hace ya 1 mes. Las cosas han estado normales, pues dentro de lo que alguien podria definir de "normal". Gracias a Dios no me hace falta lo basico, desafortunad...

Child-friendly Galaxy Tab 3 Kids listed in Korean brochure

We're no experts in Korean back-to-school literature, but it looks as if one retailer has tipped Samsung's plans a little early. If the documents above are legitimate, then the company will launch a kiddie-focused Galaxy Tab in short order. The Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is said to be an 8.5-inch slate with a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, a 1,024 x 600 WSVGA display, 8GB storage, 1GB RAM and Jelly Bean. The company has also seen fit to include 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, a microSD card slot (no word on capacity) and a 4,000mAh battery. One thing that lends weight to the listing is that the device's model number is SM-T2105, which evleaks tersely described as a "Galaxy Tab for children" a month ago. There's more pictures over at the source, but not a single spec saying that this new device is resistant to jam-smeared fingers. Source: ENGADGET

The Ford Fiesta 2011 Was the Budget Hacker’s Dream (And No One Noticed)

The Ford Fiesta 2011 Was the Budget Hacker’s Dream (And No One Noticed) If you ever drove a Ford Fiesta 2011 SE and felt like it had hidden potential, you weren’t wrong — it was a software-defined vehicle before that was even a buzzword . While most saw it as a humble economy car, tinkerers and enthusiasts quickly discovered that the Fiesta was actually modular, reprogrammable, and surprisingly future-proof . With the right tools (and a bit of nerve), you could unlock features typically reserved for higher trims, all with minor hardware tweaks and some clever software work. Here’s a deep dive into the hidden arsenal of the 2011 Fiesta — and why it deserves a cult status among modders. The Secret Weapon: Shared Architecture Ford built the Fiesta using a highly modular electronic architecture . Many trims — from the base SE to the Titanium — shared the same PCM, wiring harnesses, and core modules . That meant you could: Add hardware from higher trims (like steering wheel...
