Rather, the corporate has set to stay it quiet by sharing info regarding this via a journal post. currently this can be one thing new.

The reason for not going with a large group discussion or a launch event is that the corporate remains fine standardization a number of the options for its latest OS. In such a case, it'd not be right Google�s half to publicise an OS that's still being refined. this can be why it set to travel with a journal post that is sweet enough for reaching intent on android users globally.

Twitter recently surprised with a tweet announcing the release of additional interesting features in IOS 8, namely alias nirkable charging the wireless charging. To activate this feature, the user must follow certain steps.
Surprisingly, to enable wireless charging feature called Wave, users must do unreasonable enough, ie inserting the iPhone into the microwave to run the program Wave. In fact, such a device is known as a tool for cooking that can generate high heat.

According to the instructions contained in the attached poster with the tweet, the user must insert the iPhone into the microwave for 60 seconds in the microwave power 700W, or 70 seconds in the microwave 800w, to be able to wirelessly charge the battery.

What Happend With iPhone 6? Its Just Bring 1 GB RAM

What Happend With iPhone 6? Its Just Bring 1 GB RAM
Apple should be proud of the variety of hardware that peacock seed buried in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. However, based on observations from iFixit, the two gadgets that have a deficiency that makes it inferior to the competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or even Galaxy S5. What is it?

The team from iFixit reported having to disassemble the body iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. From there they can be expressed when both variants of the iPhone 6 is still carrying only 1 GB of RAM. In fact, the RAM capacity of the plural is used in inexpensive smartphones with price 1 million.
For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is often juxtaposed with the iPhone 5s alone have up to 2 GB of RAM. In fact, the Galaxy Note 4 is far superior to the three-fold aka RAM 3 GB. As is known, a large RAM capacity can improve the processing of data from a smartphone. So that multitasking activities can be conducted more smoothly.

Apple itself until the first sale of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus did not want to comment on or confirm if it is indeed true that both devices only use 1 GB RAM, Tech Radar (19/09).

Meanwhile, according to reports from several sources that, if Apple deliberately only provides 1 GB of RAM in two variants of the iPhone 6 so that they can run smoothly, Pocket Now (17/09). Unfortunately, to date there is no formal studies on the use of 1 GB of RAM in the iPhone 6 Apple also has not published a list of the official specifications of the product duo.
The reason could also suspected by observers of gadgets, because by increasing the operating system or other hardware such as the processor (the current iPhone already using IOS 8 and Apple A8 processor) RAM is also needed, the better. Or iPhone 6 actually does not need it because it is not equipped with premium features such as multitasking features that exist in the Galaxy and Galaxy Note S5 4?

While other vendors have launched 2 to 4 different series with different technology that does not necessarily make Apple Watch are in a better position.
This assumption could also spread when tilted Tim Cook did not mention at all that the star battery capacity. No doubt, the battery component so the butt of the media and not a few who sneer through Twitter.

apple smartwatch


Not quite up there, Yahoo Tech journalist, David Pogue recently wrote in his article that Apple Watch only offers features water-resistant or waterproof, not water-proof or water repellent like that offered by Moto 360.

Although the literal meaning seem thin but distinct functions of the two levels are very much different terms. Water resistant only make the device able to withstand splashes or spray water at worst. While water-proof make the device remains alive despite immersed at a certain depth.
This means that Apple Watch made ??by one of the most valuable companies in the world, ever dibesut by the legendary Steve Jobs and has a reputation bully makes smartwatch device which only lasted from water splashes and sweat. Naturally, when a number of people question the ability of Apple.

Apple Slipped A Physical QWERTY Keyboard Below The iPhone Screen

apple
Apple has long received the suggestion to apply the vibrating screen QWERTY or commonly called 'heptic feeedback' in their artificial smartphone, the iPhone. However, a new Apple patent has uncovered a plan installation of more sophisticated QWERTY keyboard for the iPhone in the future.

Features 'heptic feeedback' is rumored to be the secret weapon of the iPhone 6, considering Apple has managed to get his patent in 2009 ago. Although Apple has not been willing to confirm the truth of this.

Heptic feeedback is concentrated vibration system that will be activated when the user presses each key on the QWERTY keyboard the iPhone. This feature is claimed to cause vibration sensation like pressing a real button. The resulting vibration was only focused on the user's finger touches the screen, Phone Arena (26/08).

Apparently, Apple's innovation does not just stop there. Based on a patent that was passed on June 28, 2011 ago, Apple is known to make a flexible display technology that could resemble the original QWERTY keyboard. Certainly not in terms of form, but rather in terms of 'sense'.

Secret of this technology is the position of the buttons below the screen attached flexible iPhone. So when pressing the screen, users will indirectly pressing buttons below.

To enhance this new technology, Apple also added a feature that feeedback heptic touch screen feels more alive. Still according to the patent, the flexible screen also has closed the entire front of the iPhone. While there are other speculation if Apple would just put an extra panel at the bottom of the screen that can be used as a keyboard 'pop up'.

The Comparison Between Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 And iPad 4


The spat between Samsung and Apple are not only presented in court alone. In the ranks of their products, Apple is also not to be outdone by Samsung's rising popularity.

At least it is reflected in both the second seed vendors tablet ruling the world of gadgets, Samsung with its Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Apple iPad 4, armed with the second tablet is designed to meet all your communication and entertainment needs of its users.

However, anyone in between Samsung and Apple iPad 4 is the most superior? Here we will do a comparison of the two tablets.


1. Design and size

Unlike the new generation of tablets such as the Galaxy S, the Galaxy Note 10.1 still carries the distinctive design of Samsung's older tablet visible bezel apart from the screen. This concept gives the impression of the Galaxy Note 10.1 look longer. Dimension of the Galaxy Note 10.1 itself is 243.1 x 171.4 x 7.9 mm.

Meanwhile, the iPad 4 look fatter with a thickness of 9.4 mm and a width reaching 185.7 mm. Inevitably, 243.1 x 171.4 x 7.9 mm 5 percent look slimmer and more stylish than the thickness of the iPad 4 also contribute to the weight of the iPad which is 662 grams, 62 grams heavier than the Galaxy Note 10.1.

Apple Tablet 4th generation is also still carrying the box design concepts firmly as they have done since the first iPad. So it looks monotonous if you've never used an iPad before.


2. Screen

Although in terms of the design of the iPad 4 looks unremarkable, the display screen of this tablet can dazzle users armed with IPS LCD panel with LED backlit extra lights. The resulting resolution in the range of 1536 x 2048 pixels. Much better than the 207 percent Galaxy Note 10.1 which only has a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels.

Shortage in screen resolution is compensated by the Galaxy Note 10.1 through the larger screen size, 10.1 inches, and an additional unique user interface Samsung TouchWiz UI. On the other hand, the screen size of the iPad 4 is only about 9.7 inches.

However, again, the iPad 4 proves its LCD screen is much sharper with a pixel density of 264 ppi. Meanwhile, 16 million color TFT screen Galaxy Note 10.1 only has a density of 149 ppi. So obviously, the screen of the iPad 4 feels more comfortable to the eye and sharper than the screen of the Galaxy Note 10.1.

Apple also increase the strength of the iPad 4 by overlaying the screen using scratch-resistant glass and oleophobic coating that makes it resistant to liquids such as oil.


3. Camera

Samsung and Apple are both buried rear camera with 5 MP sensor that can capture images at a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels. Complementary features such as autofocus and geotagging has been stopped by the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the iPad 4 Unfortunately, the iPad 4 does not have a LED flash that can be used to capture images in low light like a camera behind the Galaxy Note 10.1.

Keep in mind when the main camera of the iPad 4 has also other features such as touch focus topnotch and face detection. The resulting video footage was already in HD with a resolution of 1080 pixels at 30 fps. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Note 10.1 can record HD video that has the same quality with iPad4 front camera, which is 720p at 30 fps.

Yes, although the front camera iPad 4 only has a 1.2 MP sensor, but Apple provided him with the best video quality and extra features such as face detection.


4. Hardware

Go deeper into both tablets. We'll find a dual-core processor 1.4 GHz Apple A6X supported by the presence of PowerVR SGX554MP4 graphics card Quad-core architecture. The combination of both can reduce the appearance of lag or loss in performance of data processing. Apple also added a large capacity internal memory up to 16 GB on the iPad 4.

Meanwhile, the innards of the Galaxy Note 10.1 is filled by a Quad-core 1.9 GHz Cortex-A15 and Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7. The use of the eight core processor makes processing of data in parallel can be done well, as a result the performance of the Samsung tablet is expected to continue to soar.

Galaxy Note 10.1 has been equipped with a fairly large RAM capacity, up to 2 GB. Activity surfing the internet or watching a video can be done simultaneously without significant obstacles, especially thanks to the addition of up to 16 GB of internal memory to store important data in one device.


5. Data connection

The tablet of Galaxy Note 10.1 and iPad 4 both have Wi-Fi technology and excellent connectivity with the existence of the Internet service via 3G cellular networks. Internet connection was more rapid with the presence of GPRS and EDGE 'Class 12'.?

However, the iPad 4 can be used to surf the Internet at speeds 100 percent faster for activities like downloading videos or streaming online video of the Galaxy Note 10.1. It is not separated from the additional 4G LTE technology EVDO Rev. A process that can be done with a data download speed of 73 Mbps.


6. Battery

As the tablets with other large-capacity battery, both the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the iPad 4 has a battery that is not removable or non-removable. The difference, belonging to the iPad battery Lithium Polymer 4, whereas Galaxy Note 10.1's battery is Lithium Ion.

iPad 4 itself has a battery capacity of 5600 mAh and able to be used to make calls up to 9 hours. Limit standby time of 720 hours to reach the iPad 4.

It seems, now turn the Galaxy Note 10.1 which outperform the iPad 4 due to the capacity of the battery is 7000 mAh and can last up to 1500 hours if not used at all. Maximum call time on the Galaxy Note 10.1 was recorded 33 hours more.

#Conclusion

There is no doubt that when the iPad 4 is equipped with better hardware than the Galaxy Note 10.1. However, the price is quite stifling capable of lowering interest 'prospective' customers to actually buy the iPad 4.

Price given Apple itself is quite reasonable because the operating system of the iPad iOS 4 can be increased to 7 and reportedly, OS iOS 8 being crowded discussed society.

Therefore, if you are looking for the most reliable tablet for surfing the internet or through a specific software design, the iPad 4 is the best choice.
