Apple Insiders Say Next Generation iPhone May Debut in April

By Dena Cassella January 12, 2010

It looks like Apple might be busting out all of its new gear this spring, first the Apple tablet in in March and the perhaps a next generation iPhone in April. KT, an exclusive South Korean partner for Apple’s iPhone, told The Korean Times it plans to introduce an upgraded 4G version of the device this April. The anonymous sources from KT claims this new 4G iPhone will have an OLED screen, boast better graphics and dual-core processor, and have a video chat function. KT sources also eluded to a new removable battery and a higher resolution camera for the iPhone 4G.

The AppleInsider, says the pieces seem to be falling into place considering its report from last week of Apple purchasing a significant amount of LED camera flash components. The AppleInsider thinks the rumored dual-core support for the iPhone 4G will probably come in the form of the new Cortex-A9 processor design from ARM, which are capable of breaking the 2GHz barrier.

As with all Apple news, unless it’s directly announced by Steve Jobs himself, it seems like a curious jigsaw puzzle. We’ll keep you updated on more iPhone 4G developments as they seep through the cracks.

Today, The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern finally confirmed this. According to Stern, Apple has confirmed that it’s aware of the issue causing some alarms not to play a sound and is working on a fix.

The iPhone alarm problem seems to be tied to Apple’s Attention Aware features. For those unfamiliar, it’s a feature that lowers the volume sound of your alerts and alarms if you’re looking at your device and avoids dimming the screen, similar to how Samsung phones keep the screen on if they see you looking at your screen.

How to turn off call forwarding on iPhone and Android

If you’re mysteriously missing calls on your iPhone or Android smartphone, it may be because call forwarding is activated on your line. In that case, all your incoming calls could be going somewhere else.

Call forwarding shouldn’t typically be active unless you’ve specifically turned it on, but another person or app may have done so without your knowledge. And since call forwarding is a carrier feature, it could still be enabled on a line you inherited from someone else, even if you’ve swapped their SIM card into your phone or transferred it to a new account.
