The iPhone 6 Will Be In Two Sizes With A Higher Resolution Screen - september launch


Apple will release the iPhone 6 in September,It says suppliers of the iPhone's screens are set to ramp production soon in order to hit the September release.
The Nikkei also says the iPhone will come in two screen sizes, 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch.
Right now Apple's iPhone 5 and 5S are 4-inch screens. Apple is the only major phone manufacturer with a screen that small.
The latest flagship Android phones from Samsung and HTC both come with 5-inch screens.
As a result, the iPhone's screen feels small and cramped relative to its Android competition.
In addition to enlarging the screen, Apple will make the resolution on the new iPhones significantly higher, says the Nikkei.
The new iPhones, with big screens, will be significantly different than older models of the iPhone, and as a result Marshall expects big sales to existing customers.


Twitter buys cover - Android Lock Screen


Developers are always working on making smartphones easier to use, and one of the best ways to do that is providing quick access to the features you use most on your device.

That’s the goal of cover, the lock-screen application that social media giant, Twitter, has recently acquired .

Cover was originally conjured up by former Google staff. It learns your habits and provides lock-screen shortcuts to your most often used apps. What’s a lot of is it conjointly changes the applications supported where/when you’remistreatment it. Let’s say you’re in your automotivedashing down the road, well cowl can apprehend the placeyour navigation application, or no matter it's you utilize once you drive (browsing touchwood, for all we tend toknow), and populates your lock-screen with it.


Twitter hasn’t revealed any solid details as to how they intend to use Cover, but they’ve released this statement:
“Twitter, like Cover, believes in the incredible potential of Android. They share our vision that smartphones can be a lot smarter — more useful and more contextual — and together we’re going to make that happen…we’ll be building upon a lot of what makes Cover great, and we’re thrilled to create something even better at Twitter.”
Cover also announced the deal via…what else? Twitter.
Facebook tried to customize the Android home screen experience, but didn’t succeed in doing so. Does anybody think that twitter has what it takes to change the way we use Android with Cover?

Flipkart & Myntra to Merge ? Mukesh Bansal not too keen on buyout


Flipkart and Myntra are close to a deal which could either be an acquisition by India's largest online retailer or a partnership between the two companies. "The companies are in talks for a commercial partnership, but an acquisition is also on the table," said a person with direct knowledge of the discussions. "All options are being explored." The two companies have three common investors — early stage investor Accel Partners, hedge fund Tiger Global and Belgium-based family office Sofina.


Accel and Tiger have been pushing for a merger for a few months according to several people with knowledge of the developments. However, Myntra's founders have not been too keen to conclude an outright acquisition. "They will prefer a financial investment where they can operate as a separate entity," said a person, who has worked as a consultant with Flipkart and Myntra.
Between a merger with Flipkart and a new round of funding led by Wipro chairman Azim Premji's family office Premji Invest, Myntra opted for the money in February. The company raised $50 million (aboutRs 300 crore) at a valuation of about $200 million (about Rs 1,200 crore). At the time of the investment, Bansal had refuted reports of a possible merger with Flipkart saying the two companies followed different models.
However, he had conceded there was merit in exploring ways to work together and take on competition. Amazon, which has rapidly built a presence in India since June last year, is expected to start selling apparel later this month.

iphone 6 first look & release date



Alongs the larger screen - or probably even a alternative of screen sizes - expect to ascertain iOS seven become iOSeight, the phone's 64-bit processor to urge even quickerand therefore the introduction of additional optionsfor the iPhone 5s' TouchID fingerprint scanner.

Apple iPhone 6: style

We're however to ascertain any leaked shots of the iPhone half-dozen - expect those to arrive next year - howevergiven widespread talk exaggerated screen sizes for succeeding model, we're expecting a significant style update too.

Apple traditionally updates the iPhone's look each different year once the device's numerical symbol will increase - thus far the iPhone 3G, four and five have all featured major style changes, whereas the 4s and 5s haven't.

A larger screen would mean littleer bezels to stay the general footprint as small as doable - bear in mind, Apple prides itself on the iPhone's 4in screen being usable with one hand, little bezels are required if that claim is to befabricated from a bigger show.

We're expecting aluminum and glass to feature heavily within the iPhone 6's construction, and that is fine byNorth American nation - however as long as Apple finds some way of constructing the phone's polished and chamfered edges additional scratch-resistant.

Apple iPhone 6: Screen

Sources conversant in Apple's plans say the Golden State company is functioning on iPhones with screensstarting from four.8in to 6in, abundant larger than the comparatively little 4in screen seen on the iPhone five.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, the anonymous sources same, despite solely ever manufacturing iPhones in 2screen sizes (3.5in from 2007, till the 4in iPhone five arrived a year ago), Apple is currently additional willing to supply a lineup of multiple screen sizes, with specific interest in an exceedingly four.8in model.

These latest claims mirror a report from Reuters in Gregorian calendar month, citing sources World Health Organization conjointly same Apple is functioning on larger iPhones with screens starting from four.7in to 5.7in; theWSJ itself has conjointly antecedently reportable Apple's analysis into larger screens, stating inGregorian calendar month that Apple was staring at manufacturing a much bigger iPhone.

Rumours of larger iPhones were rekindled in Novemberonce Associate in Nursing trade business executivespoke to Bloomberg, claiming Apple was acting on devices with four.7in and 5.5in displays. At these sizes, the iPhonehalf-dozen would be abundant nearer in terms of size to its golem rivals than ever before.

The supply conjointly claimed Apple is experimenting with hooklike displays - kind of like the recently freeSamsung Galaxy spherical and LG G Flex - and screens which might observe varied levels of pressure.

Apple once claimed its 4in iPhone was the right size for a phone as a result of it will be used well in one hand,however the Golden State company might be forced to alter its reasoning, as pressure from larges phones by Samsung, Nokia, HTC and Sony has didn't subside.

Apple iPhone 6: Processor [UPDATED]

A report from the Korean Economic Daily in Septsimply days when the new iPhone 5s and 5c went on sale, claimed Apple can ditch Samsung as its main chip provider for future iPhone, in favour of Taiwan Semiconductor producingCompany (TSMC).

It was reportable by the Wall Street Journal earlier this year that Apple had signed a deal for TSMC to require over as primary chip provider from 2014.

The Korean newspaper same the iPhone 6's processor - expected to be known as the A8 - are made largelyhowevernot completely, by TSMC. Samsung can still turn out chips for Apple, however in smaller volumes.

UPDATE: Chinese web site DigiTimes expressed on twenty three Dec that Apple would use a 20nm processorfactory-made by Taiwan Semiconductor producing Company for Associate in Nursing future larger iPhone, thatthe location expects to ascertain free as early as might, 2014.

Apple stone-broke new ground with the 64-bit A7 contribute the iPhone 5s, thus it'll be a task for the A8 to formanother vital success. As Apple ne'er discloses clock speeds and RAM, we'll ought to sit up for the iPhone half-dozen announcement itself to listen to what quantity quicker and (hopefully) energy economical the new chipare.

Apple iPhone 6: Camera

A slightly area for currently, all that is been same regarding the camera of the iPhone half-dozen is that's mayfeature Lytro-style focalisation software package, as seen on the Nokia Lumia 1520.

A patent filed by Apple in 2011 and created public 2 years later describes a camera with a "refocusable mode". The feature would let users take a photograph with the iPhone half-dozen, then decide whether or not they wish the foreground or background focussed - or to correct Associate in Nursing out-of-focus image.

Otherwise, we will expect to ascertain a rise from the iPhone 5s camera's 8-megapixel resolution, at the side ofincreased hardware and software package to stay Apple's efforts competitive with a growing vary of spectacularsmartphone cameras from Nokia.

Apple iPhone 6: value

The iPhone half-dozen won't be low-cost. Apple sells the iPhone 5s for between £549 and £709, and therefore the5c is priced from £469, thus we will expect the iPhone half-dozen to value round the £550 to £600 mark.

Apple's solely state of grace here are if the minimum storage possibility of 16GB is finally upped to 32GB, which might see the highest model increase from sixty four to 128GB. the corporate already sells iPads with the largercapability, and in function of a microSD card slot for expandable storage it appears solely truthful that 32GB becomes the new minimum.

Apple iPhone 6: unharness Date [UPDATED]

The first 3 iPhone were free in either Gregorian calendar month or Gregorian calendar monthand therefore the most up-to-date 3 were free in either Gregorian calendar month or Sept. Given this datawe have a tendency to doubt the iPhone half-dozen can seem till Gregorian calendar month at absolutely the earliest -however in point of factwe have a tendency to expect a Sept announcement to be rather more realistic, with aunharness date of around every week later.
