It is a no-go on the iPhone 3GS, you need the iPhone 4’s A4 processor (iPad version por favor?) and probably its higher res screen as well. Handling video and creating real-time transitions was the official reason. You can’t export projects (yet?) to iMovie on the Mac for further editing. Obviously you can export via iTunes flat movies and do whatever you want on the desktop after that. You can record video and still directly within the application or bring in previously recorded stills/videos....

Pictures of supposed iPhone 6 production tooling leaked out yesterday. However, the initial images of the molds were blurry and lacked context. A new picture from Nowhereelse.fr compare the molds directly to an iPhone 4s. The new device is substantially larger than the 4s. Nowhereelse did some Photoshopping and overlaid an iPhone 5s onto the image proportionally to gauge how big the impression actually is. Using this method, the site guesses a screen size of approximately 4....

MacRumors happened upon some code in the new SDK which seems to reveal that a new iPhone is coming in June. While this news isn’t really unexpected, it is the first signs we are seeing that the iPhones are going to be upgraded (what? you thought Apple was going to discontinue them?). On a separate note, they also got a screengrab from a web hits vendor which shows that someone with one of these new iPhones has been browsing the web – or that someone has been spoofing for fun and profit....

We have previously been able to pull data from PreEVT iPhone 5,1 and iPhone 5,2 prototypes codenamed “N41AP (5,1)” and “N42AP (5,2)”, which lead us to believe that the new iPhone will have a bigger 1,136-by-640 display. We also detailed a lot of the hardware (here), but we forgot one very important bit of information. Further investigation into this hardware code dump leads us to believe that these iPhones also have Near Field Communication controllers directly connected to the Power Management Unit....
