One of the devices that carrying the flag of BlackBerry 10 is the BlackBerry Z10 which is a touchscreen device. One of the targets for BlackBerry Z10 is definitely the iPhone 5. 

Even before the launch of BlackBerry Z10, someone successfully gets the iPhone 5 placed side-to-side with the BlackBerry Z10. From the design of both devices, the BlackBerry Z10 has an upper hand over the iPhone 5. The BlackBerry Z10 looks futuristic with its rather "fresh" design while the iPhone 5 design is similar since the iPhone 4 that was launched about two years ago. 

The display of BlackBerry Z10 is definitely larger than the 4-inch of iPhone 5. The small display era for smartphone was over and it's time for Apple to keep up the competitiveness of its product. It is hard for iPhone to survive in the smartphone market when the Android devices are getting larger and larger.

Rumor: iPad 5 Without Bezel Set For Debut On October This Year

(GSM Insider) - Rumor: Rumor: iPad 5 Without Bezel Set For Debut On October This Year.

After the introduction of iPad Mini, the sales of larger iPad are falling. The larger is in danger as the iPad Mini is slowly taking over its position as the main stream tablet from the Cupertino based company.

iPad Mini or larger iPad is still from Apple. No matter you purchase which iPad, the money still goes to Apple, isn't it?

According to the latest news from iLounge, it suggests that the 5th generation iPad will not make its appearance until October this year. Now only January as the October still far ahead.

What does it look like? Well, it’s a lot smaller than one would guess was possible: in portrait orientation, picture a 9.7” screen with virtually no left or right bezels, and only enough space above and below the screen to accommodate the mandatory camera and Home Button elements. Beyond that, it’s noticeably thinner, as well, which is to say the the fifth-generation iPad will be smaller in every dimension than its predecessors. As it will have the same chamfered edges and curves, calling it a “stretched iPad mini” is very close to entirely accurate. - iLounge's Jeremy Horwitz

This shows that the Apple continues the usage of 9.7-inch design like the previous iPads. But the main attention is the iPad 5 is said to be without any bezel and it is also thinner and smaller than its predecessors. We might see the first bezel-less tablet later this year.

Upcoming Cheaper and Smaller iPhone Could Powered By Qualcomm Snapdragon's Chip

(GSM Insider) - Upcoming Cheaper and Smaller iPhone Could Powered By Qualcomm's Snapdragon Chip.

The saga of the cheaper and smaller iPhone is very interesting. At first, there was report stated that Apple is working on the cheaper and smaller iPhone. Soon, another report denied it. Actually, no one can confirm about those rumours unless Apple itself, agree?

If the rumours about cheaper and smaller iPhone is true, then is it going to power by A6X processor from Apple? The answer is maybe not. 

According to the latest report from Forbes, it reported that the cheaper and smaller iPhone is going to power by Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip instead of its own Apple chip. 

Probably, Apple interested in the low-end Snapdragon dual-core processor for its upcoming low-budget iPhone. This is because Apple can save more costs in manufacturing its own processor. It is much easier and directly get the processor from Qualcomm for assembling. 

Qualcomm processor for iPhone Mini? Hmmm. Maybe. It could feature transparent back cover as well.
