Are the gold iPhone 5S and yellow iPhone 5C truly the least popular?

According to a recent survey preformed by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), the gold iPhone 5S and the yellow iPhone 5C are the least popular…. but are they really?

The survey goes on to state the different percentages of color prefrences amongst buyers (the graph below shows their findings.) CIRP also noted a difference in the buying habits of genders when it came to the two iPhones. More males bought the blue iPhone 5C than females, while females predominantly picked up the pink color of the 5C over any other color. The results were closer for the iPhone 5S, where males preferred space gray and women preferred the silver.

At first glance this sounds like an interesting story, but under further investigation, I found this study to be a little, well, short sided.

According to a slew of angry tech aficionados, if we look at the numbers, only a 4:1 ratio of gold to the other colors of the 5S was available for sale when the new phones launched. The golds sold out instantly and have not been available since. Therefore, the opportunity to buy gold iPhones has not been available. For the yellow 5C however, that’s a whole other story. The 5C did not experience the same amount of shortages and has been readily available.

So what’s your take on all of this? Do you like the yellow or gold iPhones? Would you buy on for yourself?

Ladies, lets face it- we all wouldn’t mind a little extra sparkly jewelry, would love to have a team of hair and makeup artists at our beck-and-call, and definitely wouldn’t say no to dawning breathtaking, custom made, Oscar de la Renta gowns and attending fabulous gallas in New York city. A life of luxury would be nice and might seem like only a dream, but really, having the most modern and chic things is actually not as far away as you might think; and believe it or not, it all starts with your smartphone.

Your smartphone is your lifeline, your window into the life you want to be living. It is like a part of you and when it dies, you feel stranded and left out.

That’s why we’ve created the latest and most stylish technology to give your cell battery the extra power it needs and give you the edge in sophistication.

So, what do fashion and technology have in common? Nothing really, until Apple decided to mix things up just a bit this week by hiring UK’s top paid CEO, Angela Ahrendts, the CEO of Burberry. Yes, you heard me correctly, Burberry, as in luxuriously posh scarves, coats, and purses…ya, that Burberry.

In a surprising move, Ahrendts will be leaving Burberry in the spring to become Apple’s new Senior Vice President of Retail…CEO to Senior VP…interesting. I’m sure a few extra dollar signs came into play in this move. Although, a current salary of 26.3 mill with Burberry isn’t too bad. I wonder what Apple offered.

With a plateauing effect in the future for the consumer tech industry, Apple is doing everything they can to keep things moving upwards. Ahrendts will be responsible for revamping all the Apple stores and creating a new and unique buying experience for the customer, much like what she did for Burberry.

It will be interesting to see what direction she goes in and if she can keep Apple from just adding to the already saturated noise of the tech world. Maybe we can expect plaid iPhones in the future?

There’s no doubt this woman is smart and talented, just watch one of her Burberry campaign videos below, so maybe she will be able to bring a fresh new approach to Apple’s identity. Only time will tell.

What are your thoughts?

It has come to our attention that a few PowerSkin products have been experiencing charging issues since the new iPhone iOS7 update. In short, apparently simultaneous charging of your iPhone 5 and PowerSkin through your computer’s USB port seems not to be working. We’ve looked into this unique issue in depth and have an answer for you.

Question- Why won’t my iPhone 5 PowerSkin or PoP’n for iPhone 5 charge my smartphone while it is connected to my computer’s USB port?

Answer- In iOS6, Apple did not have a specific restriction for simultaneous charging of the PowerSkin and Apple product, so the PowerSkin was able to charge and discharge at the same time when connected to a PC USB port. However, with the new iOS7 update simultaneous charging is restricted. As a result, the PowerSkin will not charge and discharge at the same time if connected to a PC USB port as a power source. You are still able to use a USB wall charger to support simultaneous charging. Alternatively, you may charge the PowerSkin and iPhone separately when using a PC USB port.

This only seems to be an issue with Apple products which have updated to the new iOS7 platform, and not all products are experiencing this issue. In just a few weeks we will be unveiling a brand new product for iPhone 5S which works perfectly with iOS7 and is pretty darn sexy, too.

Over the summer, LG showed us this…a beautiful, bright screen that… you guessed it… bends. Whoa! Revolutionary, right? What were they going to do with that technology? What were they building and making behind those closed doors? The excited tension was almost unbearable, but just a day or so ago, the answer was released. Let’s just say it isn’t exactly as “mind bending” as we would have hoped.

LG has created the LG G “Flex.” Slated to debut in November, this phone is going up against some heavy hitters in the mobile world and needed to really bring it’s A game. From what we can see, it brought something, but it’s more in the shape of a C, and definitely doesn’t bend.

Above is a drawing obtained by CNET from LG of it’s proposed new phone. As you can see, the only thing really exciting about it, is… it’s curved? That’s it.

Thinking this phone would “easily curve” to the natural shape of one’s face, this would be a big hit. I don’t know about you, but I actually don’t spend forever talking on my phone. I surf the web, look up stupid videos, catch up on the latest Miley Cyrus junk, text, play games, on and on and on, but I definitely don’t want to do that with a curved screen… that would be weird.

Now, I know it is a little early to form opinions when we haven’t even seen the thing, but I’m not the only one with concerns… just ask around. And what about my favorite place to put my phone… in my back pocket. Won’t this new curved business make things a little difficult? Had the screen truly bent, it would have formed nicely to my tush, but now I’m afraid I’ll break the thing.

The mobile phone industry is ruthless and intense and saturated. As technology progresses, phones will really need to adapt and push boundaries in order to stay in the game, but this phone doesn’t seem to be “bending” any rules.
