New research shows iPhone 5 and iPad 2 are currently Apple's top models

A new study from mobile marketing and analytics firm Localytics shows that Apple’s most popular mobile phone is currently the iPhone 5, not the iPhone 5c or 5s that followed it. Similarly, the most-seen Apple tablet is the iPad 2, which was released in 2011.

The research was based on more than 100 million iPhone and iPad models processed by Localytics during August 2014.

It’s a timely reminder - ahead of the anticipated Apple iPhone 6 announcement tomorrow - that most consumers no longer upgrade every year.

According to Localytics, the iPhone 5 (launched in 2012) has a 27% share of all Apple handsets currently in use. The iPhone 5s accounts for 25%, followed by the iPhone 4s with 21%.

Meanwhile, the iPad 2 is the most popular Apple tablet, with a 29% share of all iPads. Next is the original iPad mini with 20%, then the fourth-generation iPad with 15%.

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
