Google’s Nexus 6 — Quite Expensive From What The Nexus Line Used To Be!

November 14, 2014 By Rebecca McGhee Leave a Comment

The Nexus 6, Google’s latest smart phone, is going to be launched Thursday, but pre-orders begin today.

The Nexus 6 carries a screen that measures 6 inches diagonally and it is certainly a “phablet” with that fact alone. Its dimensions go beyond Samsung’s latest Universe Note 4 at 5.7 inches and also the Apple iPhone 6 Plus at 5.5 inches.

The Google’s Nexus 6 price begins at $649 for 32 GB models and it goes up to $699 for 64 GB models, in addition to the shipping cost. It is available in two colors: mid-night blue and cloud white.

The price tag seems to be a major departure from what the Nexus line used to be: a patchy budget option. The prior Nexus 5 smart phone priced for $350 with the screen size of 4.95 inches.

However, the smart phone still keeps a couple of stuff that noticeably turns it into a Nexus phone.

Similar to its forerunners, the smart phone can come unlocked and used on the United States and global carriers, and should work with the large four service providers such as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile within the U.S.

Also akin to its forerunners, it runs an unmodified form of the most recent Android update, Lollipop, that customers will have the ability to receive over-the-air updates from Google, which energize customers tout as a strategy to Android’s oft-reported fragmentation problem.

When it comes to the Nexus 6 battery, it is unremovable. However, the storage is unexpandable, and the back side of the phone features its signature Nexus branding. Though, this time around it is also sporting a Motorola logo design together with a camera within the center, making the phone’s form factor and finishes conspicuously like the Moto X.

But you can’t say that all of the phone is derivative. Google is adding numerous features in the phone. With the new purchases, you’ll get the six months free subscription of Google Play Music unlimited, Google’s music streaming service. Battery also offers a greater ability to take into account for the bigger size. In contrast to 3,220 mAh to the Nexus 5’s 2,300 mAh, the larger battery provides the phone a purported all-day battery life.

The Nexus 6 smart phone also has a Motorola Turbo Charger that Google claims give the phone battery life of 6 hours with just 15 minutes of charging.

The Nexus 6 comes up with the 13 megapixels rear camera along with the 2 megapixel front camera, which appears to be an explicit improvement as compared to the Nexus 5’s 8 megapixels. . Though, the bigger sensor may compensate for a few of the Nexus line’s perennial camera quality problems, it probably won’t endure the standard that Samsung’s Universe S5 or Apple iPhone 6 can output.

However, it’s yet unclear whether Google continuously upsize its flagship model in riposte to a global market that’s progressively for bigger phones, but if Apple iPhone 6 Plus and Nexus 6 have any suggestion, flagship phones are rapidly moving into phablet territory.

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Swiped HTC Features- Hugo Barra Claims

October 29, 2014 By Brian Galloway Leave a Comment

Hugo Barra, Xiaomi’s Vice President accused Apple for swiping some features of HTC. He clearly stated that iPhone 6 stole some of the very prominent features of HTC smartphones.

He gave this statement in the Wall Street Journal’s recent conference held at California.

Hugo Barra is a former Googler and current Vice President of Xiaomi. It seems like the man is now fed up of all the defensive statements related to Xiaomi’s products. Earlier, people criticized a lot this China based company that it imitates the features and specs of Apple. Even a large number of people have named the company as “Apple of China”.

The reason behind this statements and accusations are that some of the Xiaomi’s products such as MiPad and Mi4 are quite similar to Apple’s iPhones and iPads. The devices do not even require any kind of special test to prove the similarity. It is pretty evident even with naked eyes.

This time Barra publicly claims that Apple’s latest device iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus contains a design language similar to HTC. He even compared a few of the Android apps and features that appear like iOS’s settings.

Surprisingly, he did not discourage this entire imitating and copying thing of the mobile industry. He stated that the battle of who launches which specs first will never end in the mobile arena. Therefore, if a firm attempts to introduce a better thing with the help of the previous versions of other companies then it is not a big deal.

The outspoken VP expressed that it shows the power and uniqueness of one’s products if the other company copies it.

Moreover, Barra admitted the fact that his engineers and designers are closely examine some of the products of rivals.

Apple Special Event: Watch It Live on 16, October at Official Site!

October 11, 2014 By Germaine Hicks Leave a Comment

Apple, technology giant recently announces that October 16^th event will be a live stream. An American multinational corporation headquartered in Cupertino, California, stated in its live page: “Join us here at apple.com/live on October 16^th at 10 a.m. PT to watch our special event live.”

Currently, the web page is displaying the message, “It’s been way too long.”

According to the recent reports, Apple’s special media event will reveal new iPads including new gold model and Macs with a 27-inch model having a high-resolution Retina display along with the Mac OS X Yosemite, the next-generation Mac operating system and Apple Pay on cards.

Moreover, iPad Air believes to be the thinnest tablet ever to hit the market.

The pre-requisite is to have the Safari Web Browser (version 5.1.10) or later on an Apple device and there are certain operating system constraints too, such as your machine should have OS X v10. 6.8 or later, though going by what the website says is that the event will be streamed live at Apple.com.

iPhone and iPad, running at least iOS 6 is needed and you can watch the stream via Apple TV units with second- or third-generation Apple TV software 6.2 or later.

Moreover, the Microsoft Windows and other operating system users can get the opportunity to watch the live stream only via live blog on Apple’s Website that is formerly used by Apple on the 9th Sept event.

The event is going to take place at Apple’s headquarters. The former uproar event of the company was the launch of Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus but the live streaming provided that time was too hitchy and slow. Hoping it works better this time.

Certainly, iPhone 6 live streaming was a disaster, as lots of fans complained that the streaming never worked on the Apple’s devices, though we were meeting the requirements of Safari Browser. This disastrous incident has also given the chance to the Samsung marketing, media team to make fun of live streaming failure.

Bigger Screen iPad Is Not Expected at Apple’s Event

October 9, 2014 By Jason Leathers Leave a Comment

As per the official reports, Apple is going to launch its next generation iPad range in the upcoming week. But, if you are expecting the tablets with the bigger screen, then we don’t have good news for you.

Recently, Wall Street journal reported that Apple’s plan to make a bigger screen iPad have been delayed until early next year, citing anonymous people familiar with the matter. Certainly, the Apple suppliers are having trouble in making sufficient new iPhones to cope up with the public demands, so super sized. 12.9 inch tablet will have to wait.

The suppliers have already planned to start the massive production of larger screen tablets in December.

Currently, Apple’s ultimate priority is to cope up with the overwhelming demand of larger screen iPhones, Journal’s supplier sources stated. Still, Apple is facing unsatisfactory output of the 5.5-inch iPhone plus from the suppliers-side. It seems quite challenging for the contractors to divide resources and spend some time to slope up production for a new bigger screen iPad.

Here, it’s really important to note, that the reports concerning manufacturing delays normally arise before the widget launches, especially those from Apple. In April and August, there were some reports that manufacturing problems can delay the launch of iPhone 6-Plus, though it released on time.

In fact, Apple hasn’t confirmed yet that 12.9-inch iPad is even in the works. Nevertheless, with the iPad sales declining, Cupertino is looking for the new ways to capture market, particularly with the Business Users. An iPad with the larger screen actually does against enterprise focused widgets such as 12-inch Surface Pro3, which was positioned as a flexible substitute of Apple’s MacBook Air.

Apple’s Upcoming Event on October 16 Shows Possibility of the Most-Rumored iPad Air

October 4, 2014 By Rebecca McGhee Leave a Comment

Recently, Apple has veiled the launching of its newest iPad that is about to come out possibly on Oct 16^th. Moreover, the users are not just puffed up about the iPad that is about to be launched but, the tech giant might be planning to launch its latest OS (Operating System) known as OS X Yosemite and perhaps a new iMac computer too. The upheaval comes out weeks after the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and the first iWatch showing that Apple is hell curved on achieving immense deeds in 2014.

According to the reports revealed, in the first week of launch, Apple sold 10 million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models. Though, on the other hand, the sale of the present iPad (which was launched back in 2013) starts declining and fanatics wait for the California-based company to endeavor and offset this trend.

The official reports revealed that the latest iPad is coming with the Touch ID fingerprint scanning systems, which is similar that the Apple has been using on its iPhone’s since they launched their earlier model, the iPhone 5S). Well, this seems to be a brilliant add up, particularly since the Apple has been attempting to get users to espouse the Apple Pay mobile payment platform.

In the meanwhile, tech giant states that, there is no better way of compelling users to the payment platform than by integrating touch ID into as many devices as possible.

Certainly, some people are expecting that, tech giant would not be updating its iPad mini and with the launch of iPad Pro, Apple will succeed in pushing back as of the iPad Air launch.

Bending an iPhone 6 Plus Its Not So Easy, says Consumer reports

September 29, 2014 By Jason Leathers Leave a Comment

An independent test proved that it is not easy to bend and the smart phones from Apple’s competitors are in fact easier to bend, Consumer Reports have rushed out an extremely scientific report that confirms that you can’t bend an iPhone 6 plus just by keeping it in a tight pants pocket.

The independent product testing corporation inspected both new iPhone 6 models with the help of Instron compression test machine against smart phones from Samsung, LG, and HTC and they figure out that it requires loads of force to permanently bend one of these latest iPhones.”

The independent company checked both the 6 and the 6 Plus, next to with the Galaxy Note 3, the LG G3, the HTC One M8, and the iPhone 5S, starting by applying 10 pounds of force for 3 seconds to see how much force it took to bend the body and how much force to take cause enough of a bend to pull the display away from the body.

It is true that the latest iPhones 6 are not as physically powerful as the smaller iPhone 5, which took 130 pounds of force before it bent, they’re still very strong and maintain to bounce back up to 70 pounds of forces and on the on other side the 6 Plus, as it turns out, is more flexible than the smaller version, and didn’t become lastingly deformed until it got to 90 pounds of force.

On the base of this test report, Apple states that the bending incident of latest IPhone is very unusual, and that only nine iPhone 6 Plus consumers reported such bending in the first six days of the phone’s release, but now we have a third party who’s done some fair testing of our latest product.

However, it is correct that the Android phones are stronger enough, and can take over 130 pounds of force before bending or breaking.

iOS 8.0.1 Update Fails, Apple Claimed To Release Replacement With 8.0.2: Downgrade In Progress

September 25, 2014 By Jason Leathers Leave a Comment

Apple ensures to Quick iOS 8.0.2 update by the substitute of iOS 8.0.1 update

According to the news, Apple has been forced to remove the first update of iOS 8, just over a week after the release of its newest mobile operating system.
Apple said in an announcement that we have collected reports of a problem with the iOS 8.0.1 update and we are enthusiastically examining these reports and will give information as fast as we can.

The iOS 8.0.1 update was expected at fixing the wireless connectivity, power utilization and other difficulties of iOS 8, but was quiet within hours because of new troubles of its own that is why the company has now assured that it will release iOS 8.0.2 in the “next few days” to repair this trouble and bring back the patches that were believed to come in iOS 8.0.1.

Apple removed its newest operating system because several consumer claims so many problems after downloading the software, as well their iPhones no longer linking to a cellular network, with a note of “no service and iPhone holders also reported problems with Touch ID after downloading the update, with a few noting that the feature, which permits people to unlock their phones using their fingerprints was no longer working.

Apple doesn’t offer an excuse though possibly should, particularly for people who might have installed the update and don’t have the tech know-how to do a full restore to an earlier version of iOS 8 and Apple also informs that after relapsing to iOS 8 you’ll discover that the Health app will no longer work. That’s a reasonable deal for Touch ID and the capability to place phone calls.

But it’s a fact that regardless of any software problems, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus models has sold very quickly and more than 10 million sets were sold in the first weekend of its release, while Apple fans looked excited to pick up one of the two models. Generally, economic analysts think the company will persist, but need to put additional efforts for stable its place.

Fifth Ave Apple Store Full Of Buyers, Lines Are Being Made For The iPhone 6 Lover

September 21, 2014 By Jason Leathers Leave a Comment

According to the report for The Wall Street Journal, Apple Inc. began sales on Friday of its latest iPhones across the East Coast and Midwest as excited buyers waited in long lines to get their hands on the next iPhone.

For the loyal customer, this time Apple’s iPhone 6 comprises a 4.7-inch touchscreen, while the iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch screen, both much bigger than the 4-inch display on its predecessor, the iPhone 5s and the smart phones also launched the cell phone payments service Apple Pay, which lets customers process credit card and other financial transactions with their gadget.

Last Friday Apple opened up pre-orders for the latest iPhones and about 4 million pre-order demands recorded on the first day on Sept. 12, even the night of Thursday before the phones’ introduction; almost 70 people were waiting in line at the front of the Apple store in downtown San Francisco to get the new iPhone 6.

Some excited customers have stayed at the front Apple store on Fifth Avenue in New York so the line of would-be buyers prolonged for more than 10 blocks and Apple workers led them in a New Year’s Eve-style countdown to herald the store’s opening at 8 a.m.

Many people were there so the police were called in before 5:30 a.m. to help with crowd control at one mall place because of worries about crushing or any other unexpected incident.

The reporter said that the excited swarms gathered though signs that Apple’s legendary “cool factor” may be attracted to the consumers, while it has become normal for the crowds of people to welcome Apple product introductions because Friday’s long lines were still an indication of healthy demand for the latest gadgets.

Apple has increased the base cost of its most-expensive model by $100 but the expensive cost hasn’t done much to reduce its public demand and for the bigger iPhone 6 Plus, Apple is charging $749 not including contract, making it the most costly iPhone that the company has ever sold in the past history.
