IPhone will complete another company

The new Apple iPhone has turned a rather problematic. Scratches on the case, delays in deliveries and that Google has their cards do not got time to pose. Tim is clearly not to be envied, because he has to solve global problems. And it looks like one of those issues resolve all the problems of the new iPhone, has already been solved, or at least at the stage of decision.

Let me draw your attention that the time delay (3-4 weeks) delivery iPhone 5 after ordering through the online Apple Store has not changed for three weeks in a row. That is, if you ordered your iPhone 5, for example, on September 24, it is still up to you, most likely, never arrived.

The first reason for this delay was the extremely high demand for the smartphone. In principle, this is a common thing for the new iPhone, and such a development could well be expected. But more terrible happened. Surfaced flaws in the housing smartphone, which forced Apple to tighten control over the products at factories. That this was the second reason for the fault which many book your iPhone 5 is still waiting for them.

Solution to meet demand on the surface: Apple to increase production capacity. This is done in the most faithful way possible - to attract new partners to help it cope with a shortage of smartphones. As a new partner, Apple was the company Foxconn International Holdings, a subsidiary of the familiar Foxconn Technology - a key partner of Apple, engaged in the production of the iPhone and iPad.

At the moment, any details on the terms of contract between the two companies is not, but we know that Foxconn International Holdings can begin work on assembling the iPhone in the coming months. So we can not say with certainty what kind of phone model will be assembled at the company factory. Now Foxconn International Holdings already manufactures smartphones Nokia, Huawei and ZTE, reports portal Slashgear.

The main objective of Apple is not so much demand-how to establish order in the manufacturing plants, which are responsible for the quality of the housing iPhone 5. Once Apple corrects the problem, the company can transfer care to ensure the user's demand for a smartphone, which once again was a hit.

Samsung acknowledged that the Galaxy is not as cool as the iPhone

We are up to Apple, as the moon, as if we are told in the Samsung, giving the court a document of 132 pages, explaining that it was her Galaxy (in this case, the first generation Samsung Galaxy, about which including the ongoing debate) is similar on your iPhone, it would have been much steeper.

In general, we should admit that Samsung has gone the right way. If a company is accused of copying, then to prove that it is not, should hit the sore spots. In this case, these are the moments of the user interface in which the iPhone and the Galaxy are different.

The Korean company has approached this issue very seriously and thoroughly studying the interface of the iPhone and Galaxy, outlined in great detail every moment in which her phone not only similar, but inferior to the smartphone Apple.


Among such examples are possible, which has the Annex "Notes" (pictured above). The iPhone application is much more perfect, as it allows to pass on saved links, make calls and send messages to the specified address, only referring URL, phone number or an email. Galaxy In a similar application is not able to do the above. The user can just select the text (the address of email, URL, phone number) and insert in the appropriate field in the desired application.

Thus it turns out that if the Galaxy had all those features that have iPhone (for some reason in the interpretation of Samsung i-Phone), it would have been at least as cool as a smartphone Apple.

Nokia could release their iPad and iPhone before Apple

After successive disappointing financial results of the Finnish company, many analysts have pondered the causes of failures of Nokia and why is it now found itself in such a situation.
It is believed that the Finnish company simply did not have time to adjust to the market in 2007-2009, ie immediately after the release of the first Apple iPhone.
However, it turns out, Nokia thought about the possibility of production of its "iPhone" and "iPad" long before the release of these devices from Apple.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, former chief designer Frank Nuovo Nokia said that in the late 90's Finnish conducted a presentation for investors and representatives of the cellular operators, which showed his vision of the future of wireless - phones with color touch screen, with which you can find the location of restaurant, buy a lipstick and play a racing simulator. A separate team at the same time, developed a Tablet PC - with a wireless connection and a large touchscreen.

Unfortunately, all these developments Nokia remained on the presentation slides, or as early prototypes did not see the light. Now the Finnish company is fully relied on his new partner - Microsoft and its operating system Windows Phone. It is expected that the first device on Windows Phone 8 will be presented during Nokia World 5-6 September.

The new iPhone will not be able to break sales records

We all know that Apple's iPhone 4S is the most successful smartphones in history - the company from Cupertino has sold over three million pieces of equipment only during the first few days after the start of sales, not to mention the millions of smart phones that were sold during the existence of iPhone 4S on store shelves. This success, however, may play a cruel joke with the next generation iPhone, which is scheduled for release this autumn.

The fact is that the largest U.S. cellular operators reduce the size of subsidies for the iPhone, which leads to a "binding" of subscribers to the previous generation smartphones from Apple via the two-year contract. Thus, when the light will see a new generation of iPhone, users can not move without pain for himself and some of it, therefore, prefer to remain on the previous generation, and not losing money, going to the new.

Of course, many users of the iPhone 4 iPhone 4S and bought a "full" price of $ 600 will pay the difference between a "contract" device and the device free of zalochke through the sale of its previous smartphone, for example, on eBay. Analysts, however, suggest that, at least subscribers AT & T, which certainly can not see discounts on the previously upgrade to the new iPhone, may prefer to stay on the iPhone 4S and not spend money to buy unlocked iPhone 5.

Do the predictions come true analysts, and Apple will create a new device that will want to own everything, without exception, we will know only after the release of the new iPhone.

IPhone owners want a BlackBerry 10

All of us are no longer sit still in anticipation of the release of BlackBerry 10: I want to look at the new operating system at least one eye. Unfortunately, all we've seen before - a development and test some early demos featured developers at conferences is akin to 10 BlackBerry Jam.Released at the end of last week's image once again stirred up interest among fans of BlackBerry. Some have even dared to suggest that what he saw - this is nothing like a secret video BlackBerry OS 10, mysteriously caught up in the web. We are, after some time spent on a detailed study and analysis of this movie, yet came to the conclusion that this is a simple theme for the devices on iOS. Yes, you heard right - "sharpened" under BlackBerry theme, but for the iPhone.Despite the fact that it looks quite nice, nothing can turn the iPhone into a BlackBerry device on the basis of 10. Therefore, we can only humbly wait for this such a device. But do not forget to tell us through the form of comments, if you have already installed this theme on your unlocked jailbreak iPhone. After a couple of you, they certainly are!

Rumor: next iPhone gets upgraded processor, more memory and a completely new schedule

The prototype is running a beta version of the operating system iOS, which Apple has not yet had time to advertise, and is equipped with a processor that does not exist in other mobile devices, Apple. His markings - ARM S5L8950X. Marking the processor in the current iPhone - S5L8940X, and in the last iPad - S5L8945X.Thus, the designation indicates the new processor, but do not know what exactly it would differ from previous ones. The letter S in S5L8950X means that the manufacturer of the chip, as before, is Samsung.Also found out that the graphics controller in the new processor will continue production of Imagination Technologies and will be marked with PowerVR SGX543RC. "This means that the controller will be completely new," - says 9to5 Mac (Apple A5 is in the controller PowerVR SGX543MP2, and Apple A5X - SGX543MP4).Recall, published recently in the same 9to5Mac and some other tehnoblog photos of the new iPhone case possible to judge some of the changes in the arrangement of those components, as well as housing materials, and the amount of screen smartphone.The device, according to these data, will be equipped with a 4-inch display with a resolution of 1136x640 pixels and is equipped with a new connector for the cable and the rear wall of the case will be metal.The photographs also show that the headphone jack moved to the bottom corner of the device, changed the dynamics, the new camera lens on the front panel is raised above the speaker, there is a LED flash. Quite possibly, the author suggests 9to5Mac, that Apple will make the smartphone second microphone in the rear for improved sound capture while recording video.Changes will and resolution. The author attributed the photographs that we are talking about resolution of 1136x640 pixels with a screen size of 3.999 inches (measured diagonally). But the former will be the button "Home" and the width of the apparatus, which, however, will be longer. Finally, between the camera lens and flash appeared some new hole, whose purpose remains a mystery.But do not forget that in the case of Apple products always remains a possibility that the next leak will be a description of the prototype, which may or may not reach the stage of mass production.

iPhone can help control the growth of indoor plants

The Japanese do not get tired to surprise fans of the most unusual gadgets and devices at this time presented a wireless sensor Koubachi Wi-Fi Plant Sensor.

Ubergizmo reports that Sony has already launched a panel of so-called «in-cell». They are, if you remember, will make the device thinner, but responsive. Their distinctive feature is that the sensors are embedded directly into the screen, but are not submitted in a separate layer.

In addition to Sony's release of the new panels will be attended by companies such as Sharp, Toshiba and LG. Apparently, Apple has decided to hedge: so impressive list of producers indicates that the problems with short delivery screens should not be.

The new iPhone, we recall, to receive a 4-inch screen. Perhaps with an aspect ratio of 16:9. He also tipped the new charging connector and the metal casing. Is it all true, we learn only during the official announcement of the model, as Apple never discloses the characteristics in advance.

Apple reduces iPhone supply

Analyst Shaw Wu of the Sterne Agee, in his report to investors reported that Apple has reduced the number of orders for the iPhone to its suppliers by 20% -25%, while at the same time, increasing the number of orders for its Tablet PC. It is expected this quarter kupertinovtsam put on store shelves 26-28 million smartphones. According to analysts, this trend is related to the imminent release of the sixth-generation iPhone, which should take place in September-October this year.

As for the supply of iPad, which, as already noted, rising against the backdrop of iPhone, the Vu sees the reason for this in the "normalization" of the production of Retina-displays, not least because of the appearance of an additional data provider components. All this, in turn, will help Apple to meet the high demand for their tablets.

Thus, the analyst predicts that in the June quarter, Apple shipped 27 million 15 million iPhone and iPad. As the company's profits from the sale of these devices, volumes, it is, according to Wu, in the third quarter of $ 36.1 billion to leave, and the value of kupertin will reach $ 780 apiece.

Released their first album, recorded entirely on an iPhone

Little-known rock band from Alabama One Like Son decided to challenge herself

Having conceived a third album after a decade hiatus, January 1, 2010 frontman Stephen Poff team vowed to burn the whole year a new collection of songs exclusively from the iPhone-using applications.

Poff (vocals, guitar, bass, organ) and his colleague Bill Rester, Perry Brown and Brian Segreyvz just recorded their party at any time convenient to them, and then combined tracks. The album, which includes 11 tracks, was completed before the New Year.

Musicians point to some obvious advantages to this approach. First, do not have to collect all members of the band in the studio, painfully choosing the time that would suit all at once. Second, to what teamwork and rehearsals. Third, it is much cheaper than renting a studio.

On the other hand, messing with the paths on the "iPhone" is more difficult than on professional equipment.

The group took advantage of applications such as FourTrack, MultiTrack DAW, AmpKit and ThumbJam. And the program has allowed musicians to connect GuitarJack to your phone instruments and microphones.

The album, entitled Start the Show sold on iTunes, Bandcamp. This is the first album in history, recorded entirely on an iPhone. Previous experiments have been modest. For example, a pop group from Los Angeles, "88" recorded the hit Love is the Thing with the application FourTrack, and Gorillaz took the iPad to create a kind of musical diary during a tour of the United States.

Smartphones can cause the owner of the phantom vibration - study

Smartphone users, such as the Blackberry or iPhone, may have obsessive feelings of phantom vibrations from the constant stress caused by the devices.

According to the Telegraph, with reference to results of research conducted by British scientists, the owners of smart phones experience greater stress than usual because of the need to constantly check his e-mail accounts and social networks.

As a result, they begin to feel the "phantom" vibrations - wrongly users think that the phone starts vibrating in their pocket, allegedly accepting a message.

According to the author of the study, the number of people using smartphones is growing very quickly, so "we are inclined to believe that the increase in the number experiencing stress due to the virtual social activity" - says researcher Richard Balding from the University of Worcester.

The results of a scientific experiment will be presented at the Conference on Organizational Psychology in Chester. At the same time in a scientific experiment was attended by 100 volunteers - students and employees of various companies, from public sector organizations to retailers. Study participants filled out questionnaires and were specific psychometric tests to stress.

From these results, researchers concluded that the use of smart phones is associated with different levels of stress identified by the respondents, and this stress is not related to their work. But in this case it is directly linked to the number of checks received messages on smartphones: the people with the highest level of stress felt "phantom" vibrations - they thought that the device has SMS.

Scientists believe that in most cases people use modern mobile devices, to be aware of what is happening at work. However, regular use of these gadgets and close monitoring of the updates-mail, receive messages and stay in social networks creates more pressure on the user.

Author of the study believe that employers should be encouraged to temporarily disable mobile workers as well as under constant stress, employees are unlikely to thrive.

IPhone ancestor appeared in 1983

In addition to his successful work at Apple, Esslinger also known as the founder of design studio Frogdesign, which has offices in various parts of the world.

As can be seen in the photo, it's a landline phone with a touchscreen, which is controlled using the stylus. Even though the machine was never destined to go into production, you never know what would consist of a current telephone industry, if Apple found worthy in the 80 years to release such a product. However, the company's decision not to rush things could be explained by the fact that the market at that time was simply not ready for such a phone.

They themselves are part of a huge photo archive at Stanford University. Apple gave the institution a collection of your own documents in 1997, just after the return of Steve Jobs to the company. Earlier Apple documentation carefully guarded from prying eyes, but the university decided to open up access to it, some organizations and journalists.
