T-Mobile’s iPhone 5 is a Tweaked Model A1428 Phone with AWS Support
The iPhone 5 that will be sold through T-Mobile is a modified version of the A1428 iPhone 5 that is currently produced for AT&T’s network, among others. The new version of the A1428 has been tweaked on the hardware side by Apple to support Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) bands for T-Mobile’s network.
According to an Apple representative that spoke to Engadget, existing A1428 phones cannot be updated to add AWS support.
Apple’s enabling support of the AWS bands from the factory on the new guy – and sadly, Apple affirmed to us that it’s not something that can be enabled via a simple software update for A1428 iPhone units already in circulation. To say that another way, existing iPhone 5 owners on AT&T cannot simply apply a software patch to have AWS support added. You’ll need to buy a new phone next month.
On April 12, which is the date that T-Mobile’s iPhone 5 launches, Apple will be selling the new version of the A1428 iPhone. This phone will be available unlocked at full retail price through Apple, and will function with both the T-Mobile and AT&T networks, as well as on many LTE bands around the world.
Apple plans to phase out the existing A1428 hardware in favor of the new version, which means future phones from AT&T might also ship with AWS support included. While the current A1428 phone works with T-Mobile’s network, it is notably slower than the modified version.
Apple’s iPhone 5 with AWS included will be available at 12:01 a.m. on April 12 from 24-hour locations, and phones ordered from Apple’s Online Store can be unlocked (after full payment) through T-Mobile.

Real Racing 3 finally arrives in the US App Store with fremium model and lots of in-app purchase options
Its been a long wait for whatever reason but from today, Real Racing 3 has finally shown up in the US App Store.

Plus, racing with friends gets kicked into another dimension with the reality-bending Time Shifted Multiplayer (TSM) technology.
The game is free to download and play but has received a lot of criticsm for its fremium model. Once you have the game you are then faced with a plethora of in-app purchase options which if you are not careful can soon mount up and make Real Racing 3 a really expensive experience. Of course you don’t need to buy any in-app purchases but its hard to resist getting your car a spec bump to help you win more races.
Real Racing 3 is currently compatible with the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch 4th and 5th gen, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4 and iPad mini; you must be running at least iOS 4.3.

Next Generation iPad and iPhone May Feature 128GB Model
Would you consider buying 128 GB iPhone model? If the 64GB is not enough, the next-generation devices could come in handy for you that will carry a 128 GB storage. An RT from hacker iH8Snow from @iNeal via iDownloadblog gave us a hint that a double storage in the future is possible due to a new system partition key size found in the BuildManifest of iOS 6.1 which is the latest firmware distributed by Apple to the developers.
We should be seeing 128GB iDevices soon. iOS 6.1 beta 5 has 128G system partition key in BuildManifest.
The unboxing of iOS 6.1 BuildManifest opened the door to the rumor mill that 128 GB storage model could really be possible in the upcoming models.
According to iMore,
Apple has historically increased storage sizes as a product differentiator, and when the cost of the required NAND flash storage made it cost effective to do so. Going from 64GB to 128GB and keeping the same size device means double density flash.
While the BuildManifest showed the partition key size of a possible 128 GB storage, this does not necessarily indicate that Apple is going to roll out an iPhone 5S with built-in 128 GB storage. But the presence of such partition shows that the company is preparing for the possibility. However, this will remain a rumor and can only be confirmed once the California-based company calls for the press.
The additional storage could affect the price points of the next models. Unless Apple provides the same price points regardless of the storage capacity or get rid of the 16GB and offer 32GB, 64GB and 128GB as baseline.
So, going in reverse order, component prices for high density flash would have to be cheap enough for Apple to maintain current prices and margins. And, Apple would have to be in the right place in their product cycle that it’s a feature and not a throw-away.
Is it time to upgrade? Could this be possible? Are you willing to shell out a few bucks for an upsize storage?
