A Red iPhone Rumour

Apple’s iPhone in Red

According to media report it has been rumoured that the Apple’s iPhone would appear in `Red’ and would retain the same design as the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Together with its usual 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch smartphones, the company would also be launching a third model which would be priced on the higher side than the iPhone 7.

According to the reports of appleinsider.com, it would also sport a 5.1-inch or 5.2-inch OLED display with invisible home button with all-glass housing and wireless charging and will rather see an improvement in hardware which is a new more powerful A11 chipset. The said new chip would be introduced together with the new Red colour choice.

The company is likely to adhere to `s year’ for its line-up for 2017. Possibly named the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus, the handset would be retaining the unchanged aluminium design, together with a faster A11 chip and the anticipated iPhone 8 model will be having an OLED display.

Merged by Foxconn-owned Sharp by 2018, Samsung and LG are said to the primary OLED suppliers of Apple. In a news report, Japanese Apple rumour blog Macotakara indicated that the successor to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus would now be in an all new colour.

Red iPhone – Next Sensation

The site also informed that Apple would be adding a red casing colour together with the prevailing ones of Black, Jet Black, Silver, Gold and Rose Gold choices. The line-up of flagship phones of Apple usually tends to play it safe with white, blacks and mellow metallic.

Though a red iPhone flagship would be making a big change, as informed by Japanese Apple blog Macotakara, the 2017’s 10th anniversary iPhone would be iPhone 7s and would be the convention for odd-numbered years of Apple. The Jet Black iPhone 7 colour choices had made great waves and had become quite popular.

The demand for Jet Black iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus had been quite high wherein Apple had faced shortage together with delay in shipment since they were unable to meet up with the demand. It is said that each time Apple tends to introduce a new choice in colour, it increases its demand and the latest upgrade seems to be the most wanted product.

The Rose Gold iPhone and Jet Black iPhone had met with the same response and the supposed red iPhone 7s reported to debut in 2017 could be the next sensation.

Red – Charitable Organization – Bono

Offering a red iPhone, according to CNET would be bringing the colourful option of the iPhone 5c to the forthcoming year’s iPhone, reflecting the commitment of Apple to Red, the charitable organization of Bono which tends to assist in providing HIV/AIDS medication.

The collaboration of Apple with `Red’ had earlier led to many red products. It seems that the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus could be another incremental improvements with enhanced specs though nothing over the top. However the third 2017 iPhone 8 would be delivering the renovation.Apple on its part had refrained from confirming the report.

Amazon Extends Cloud Reach With Hardware

With just a couple of years Internet of Things has found a solid footing in the technology industry due to eager adoption by the consumers. Internet of Things was essentially an experimental initiative by the industry to get people interested in smart products apart from the Smartphone and computing devices. Amazon Web Services is an Amazon core cloud based wing which caters to the needs of the industry is storing and accessing data from anywhere at given point of time.

With the popularity and significant reach covered by the Internet of things devices in the recent past Amazon very well understand that in future the consumer’s computing will not be happening just in its data centers. We have more hundreds of millions of Internet of Things devices up and running around the world which collects user’s data and analyze on every given second.

Given this though Amazon has brought a suitable answer in the form a hardware named Snowball Edge which is portable and it will allow users not just store their data locally but also computes it run some tasks as per their need. A year Amazon brought Snowball which simply a storage only hardware but Edge happens to be an offshoot of the Snowball with enhanced capability.

What Snowball Edge brings to the table? 

The difference between the earlier hardware Snowball and current offering Softball Edge is very simple. Snowball was designed to help users to store data and send it over to the AWS data center for further uploading and analyzing while Edge will remain at the consumer’s establishment and it will like a local computing device as well as storage node.

Secondly Amazon has revealed a new hardware which has been made in close collaboration with Intel. This device is named AWS Greengrass powered by Intel chips and it runs on a unique software programming using Amazon’s Lambda tool.

More storage hardware will usher AWS growth & revenue

With the launch of this hardware it has been well noted that Amazon is looking forward to increase the flow of data as well as capability of the standalone device to the next level. In order to get more data and increase the flow of work it is necessary to get the data to the AWS data centers for valuable business insights which can help companies in improving their products and services. To this effect Amazon has brought a number of data migration tool which consists of reinvent—a big-rig truck for bringing data back to the AWS data center and a Sonwmobile—a highly shipping container which possess the ability to deliver 100 petabytes of data to the data centers.

It might appear absurd to use such devices and vehicles to deliver data from the source to the data center but it should be understood that moving such amount of data over any kind of network will require a lot of time (calculated in months).

Smart Map Aims to Avoid 5G Dead Zones

5G Network – Quicker Connection/Increased Bandwidth

Owing to new data rich maps by Ordnance Survey, the next generation smartphone can evade signal drop-outs. The detailed 3D models comprises of buildings, proposed constructions, trees, hills together with weather cycles most of which can impede with 5G signals. Researchers would be capable of testing towers in several locations and immediately check on their performances.

One analyst had mentioned that the tool would be helpful for networks in providing improved coverage. The next generation 5G networks tend to provide quicker connections together with increased bandwidth for video streaming events. However, according to Ordnance Survey, the higher frequency signals tend to have a shorter range than the prevailing 3G and 4G signals and seem to be more vulnerable to interference from raindrops as well as leaves.

The planning tool would be utilising mapping data and high resolution aerial images of Ordnance Survey to produce its 3D models while the weather data would be provided by the Met Office.Analyst at CCS Insight, Ben Wood has commented that the character of 5G means the location of cell towers is more sensitive and it would be very significantto understand fully the topography of each area.

Useful Tool for Companies

He further added that the better the tools networks help site cell towers precisely, the more likely would they get high quality coverage from the start. 5G comprises of higher frequency signals which in spite of providing the larger bandwidth to support Internet of Thing application, tends to operate over shorter ranges than 3G and 4G.

 It could be hindered by various construction materials or heavy rain and it needs more equipment together with careful positioning in order to make it a strong network. Ordnance Survey has stated that its maps have been so detailed that they also include vegetation cycles in determining how trees could affect 5G coverage at different seasons.

Some areas of Bournemouth have been modelled already utilising the experimental tool that Ordnance Survey expect to be rolled across the UK. Mr Wood has stated that it would be a useful tool for companies deploying 5G networks though there would be no alternative in spending the money to install a lot of cell sites.

Smart Map for Smart Future

Though the next-generation 5G network would be providing the consumers with quicker connectors together with growing bandwidth for video streaming, Ordnance Survey state that upward magnitude signal tend to have a shorter operation than stream 3G and 4G signals.

Andrew Loveless, commercial director of Ordnance Survey termed the tool as a smart map for a smart future. He further added that the purpose was to deploy 5G rapidly and efficiently and linking OS data to spectrum information together with meteorological data would be delivering quicker speeds together with improved coverage to connected devices while at the same help in keeping roll out cost to the minimum.

Ordnance Survey stated that the data visualisation tool would make it possible for network planners to be aware of most of the relevant points remotely. The Met Office would be contributing high resolution weather conditions resulting from weather satellite as well as radar data to evaluate the effects on signal transmission.

What to Expect in the Coming iPhone 8

Apple products this word is enough to go everyone crazy about it now guess what the new iPhone 8 will be released in three models next year according to reports. The report suggests that the new iPhone will come in with OLED display whereas the other two variant will feature LCD display. The much happier news is that there will be a price drop in the upcoming iPhone but that would likely be cheaper than the new iPhone with OLED display.

The one of the expected feature is that the there where top to bottom with an edge to edge display fully covered with high quality display. The new OLED consumes less power and provides true life like colors and an high quality display and this helps to conserve battery power in your new iPhone this avoids the problem to fast discharge of battery.

The front facing camera as well as the home button would be housed together in the display. The back of the iPhone would be featuring a Glass back as the old iPhone 4 instead of Aluminum back as used in the iPhone 5, 5s, 6, 6s, Se Models. Coming to the processor the new iPhone will feature an new A 11 Chip which is faster and much more efficient compared to its predecessors.

The wireless charging has become an important feature in an phone and this might feature in the upcoming iPhone and as apple has switched from aluminum back to glass back panel as this might facilitate wireless Charging. The upcoming iPhone would feature a Dual camera similar as the iPhone 7 plus with an increased Mega-pixel and image stabilization.

The pricing of the upcoming iPhone would be higher for the OLED model compared to the standard LCD model and we have to wait for the launch of the product to know about its exact features and the exact pricing of the product.

iPhone Lock Screen Hack Means Your Pictures and Contacts may be Accessed Without a Passcode

Smartphone has really changed our lifestyle, and we become more reliant on the mobile technologies for various personal and business purposes. With the introduction of different mobile devices and Operating Systems, we often like to experiment with each of these innovations. In fact, the main aspect that we like to find in every device is the security. If any important information is leaked, it causes a great risk. However, this is the main problem, recently reported by many iPhone users. Though some people have claimed that an iPhone is safer than its other counterparts, there are some complaints, made against the security issue of iPhone.

The hackers are trying to get data from any locked iPhone device with the use of a special technique.

If they are successful in doing so, then the private details of users (such as, messages, images and contact lists) may be exploited.

How hackers have access to your iPhone-

To access the stored information of any iPhone users, the hackers at first make a query to Siri. After that, Siri gives them a response with contact details and name of the person, who owns the phone. Then attackers make use of a different iPhone for calling the protected iPhone set and start sending a customized message. Just after completing this sage, the hackers instruct Siri for turning on the voice.

Then, they click on contact part any text and control another tap, while making clicks at the same time. When it is accomplished appropriately, the hackers may face no obstacle in typing something or in viewing at the list of contacts in any model of iPhone. There is also one info option, and if it is clicked, the hackers can look through a vast data. It does not matter whether your iPhone is in locked condition; the hackers will be able to hack your mobile with their intricate technology.

Make adjustments in your iPhone settings to prevent hacking-

The good news, however, is that there are some ways to prevent the hackers from accessing your personal data on iPhone. For almost any iOS lockscreen, you may apply this method. You have to deactivate the access of Siri on your lockscreen.

While you are not able to make use of Siri for activating VoiceOver, the hacking process may not be successful. In order to make Siri disabled, you have to at first select the Settings option, and from there, you can find Siri. If this Siri is in activated condition, there is an option for turning it off.

Thus, you have to take steps to protect your iPhone from getting hacked by any attacker. You can also strictly follow the security rules of Apple in order to have a complete protection. Though many iPhone users have reported about their concern on hacking, there are some specific models, which have more possibilities of security issues. Some of these products are iPhone 6S Plus, 6 Plus, SE model and some others.
