Apple has just posted two new iPhone 5 television ads. The ads are titled 'Orchestra' and 'Turkey'. Orchestra focuses on the microphones that Apple uses to reduce background noise during calls. Turkey shows off the Shared Photo Stream feature of iOS 6.




"Excuse me, Maestro? Bring it down please!
Better.
That's what happens to background noise when you're making a call on this.
The microphone here picks up the sounds around you and helps turn them down.
So when the worlds gets a noisy, calls sound better. "



"Well, it's that time of year again.
You know, picture taking season?
And, with Photo Stream, you can share all the photos you want.
With just the people you want.
It's easy as pie. Mmmm... pie."

Many Gmail users have wanted this feature for a long time, and Hangouts has been a key part of Google's Social network since last year; and now Google has integrated the feature right into Gmail. For Gmail, this isn't entirely new. Google first implemented it back in 2008, but Google says this will be a more "modern" implementation of video calling. Gmail video chats used peer-to-peer technology, but Google+ Hangouts use "the power of Google's network" for reliability and quality. Some other useful features is now you can benefit from other Hangout features, such as the ability to chat with nine other people at once. You also have the option to use "masks" by turning yourself into a Cat or Dog. One more thing... You can now chat through Gmail directly with people using Google+ on your Android or iOS devices.

It wasn't a big surprise that Google is taking its Hangout service to Gmail, mainly because people have requested it for some time now. We may also see it in some of Google's other services as well. Google says that the service rollout is starting today and should be available to all users in the coming weeks.

Do you remember yesterday, the leaked photos of the fully connected 'iPhone 5'? Well now, there is a video over view of the phone itself. Now, over the weekend, we have now seen the side-encompassing backplate, paired with the front cover that showed up in the first assembled photos of this handset. Today, Macotakara has a video of the same assembly, giving us a quick glimpse of what the next-generation iPhone may look and feel like in the hand.

There are also some extra parts, including black and white home buttons, the probability of the entire thing is still tough to establish since the video is titled with a question mark at the end.
