All possible features of the upcoming iPhone 7

Undoubtedly, one of the biggest releases of the year will be the iPhone 7, the new Apple device that always stands as one of the players to offer informative features and functions resulting in cutting-edge innovation.

During recent months we have had numerous rumors of an iPhone 7 which, although not expected to pose a major revolution in design or features, does include a number of developments that justify your purchase: dual camera on the Plus model, improving your battery, including optical image stabilizer in the standard model, powerful A10 processor, thinner and new features of its iOS operating system.

How many iPhone models 7 launched on the market?

What seems assured is marketing the 4.7 – inch and 5.5 – inch Plus models. However, it sounded quite strong that a possible third model, Pro is in the making that only bring the combination of a dual – lens camera and greater storage capacity.

 

Design, with less thickness continues

The design of the new iPhone 7 does not entail a substantial change from the current iPhone 6s, only incorporating relevant changes. However, one of the most controversial design changes is the probable and it is the disappearance of the 3.5mm audio jack that favors decrease in thickness of the device, something that’s always demanded.

The disappearance of this slot in iPhone 7 could reduce its chassis to make it lighter but also improve your battery, having the same space inside. It is expected that the iPhone 7 comes with a redesign of its antennas. In any case, the design is a section that will not be touched in excess in the iPhone edition this year and yes we will see next year. And, probably according to the leaked information, the iPhone 2017 meeting the tenth anniversary of the device will return to the glass body of the iPhone 4.

 

Screen, waiting for OLED panels

It will not be this year because Apple will wait for Phone Edition 2017 to include the expected AMOLED in their devices. IPhone 7 thus will not come with significant changes in image quality that we observe, but if you look around your screen, yes we will notice a reduction in their bezels to make it even more elegant, or so can be hoped.

 

Hardware, raw power processor A10

The arrival of the new A10 processor will be a guarantee of cutting edge technology, capable of running any game on the market today and releasing in the coming months. There remain many questions about whether Apple will dare to climb to 3GB of RAM in the new iPhone, but after the release of 2GB in recent iPhone 6s, this seems unlikely.

What is considered is the option to include internal storage of up to 256GB in the Plus model in its most expensive version. The lack of microSD slot on the Apple iPhone makes it necessary to try to increase a little more of the original storage space, with more storage requirements with the recent inclusion of Live Photos and video recording 4K Plus model

 

Sound improvements

Sound, despite having of a remarkable quality, is still an issue to be addressed in the iPhone, and the iPhone 7 could bring improvements in this regard, especially with higher quality stereo speakers.

Of course, if the classic slot headphones disappear, you will not be forced to listen to your favorite music and videos through the lightning connector on the device, but this could bring improvement in the battery performance.

 

Apple unfinished Battery segment

It is something that, although has improved since the iPhone 6, is still well below the competition. The life cycle of an iPhone battery is not very extensive, but Apple gives the possibility to change it for free in the warranty period of the device. However, it is not comfortable to be always looking at the percentage of battery of our iPhone every time we go out into the street.

It is expected that with the disappearance of classical headphone slot, the iPhone 7 can improve in terms of battery capacity. It would certainly be one of the great news that has been in waiting for years.

 

Software, new iOS10 and features

This annual arrival of iPhone also packs with it a renewal of the classic Apple operating system. IOS 10 will provide many features not know until the presentation of the iPhone 7. Applications such as News or Homekit, and services like Apple Pay, Apple Music or own Apple App Store, they will have renewed redesigns of their interfaces, and also contain new features designed to enhance and improve the experience for consumer use

 

Camera improvements for all models

The camera is perhaps the section with the most expectations in the iPhone 7. Latest news say about big changes, not only for the Plus model as originally rumored, but also for the normal 4.7 inches model.

In this way it would be the first time the optical image stabilizer (OIS) reaches the normal model of the iPhone after being present in the Plus. Thus, holders of a 4.7-inch iPhone 7 will also be able to enjoy a feature that would no longer be exclusive to the Plus model.

However, the Plus model could incorporate the rumored dual camera, among other things, to improve the quality of our snapshots, both in saturation, depth of field or sharpness of the same this year. Still it could not be ruled out that this dual lens feature is available only.

In conclusion, Apple could reshuffle the option to improve megapixels in the main camera device in the two versions, to be more up to the competition in the photographic section.

Replacing 3.5mm Audio Jack with USB-C, Intel Joins party

There are many indications that Apple omitted the iPhone 7 to the 3.5mm audio  jack. Intel wants to replace the same with USB Type-C – and has good reasons. 

Intel wants the classic analog headphone jack abolished. It is essentially unchanged since the 19th century. In place of the three-pin analog jack the USB Type-C will occur, which is an updated and expanded version of the Micro-USB connector. In a presentation at the Intel Developer Forum two Intel engineers called details to the announced April USB Type-C-Audio standard.

 

The current 3.5-mm audio jack was popularized by Sony’s Walkman in the 1980s and dates back to the older standard from 1878. Basically it is just a smaller version of the 6.35-mm audio connector from the 19th century.

For months, the evidence kept growing that Apple’s classic headphone jack will be replaced by the proprietary standard, Lightning, which is already being used in the iPhone for charging and data exchange in the upcoming iPhone 7. Two other manufacturers – Lenovo and LeEco have in lines some of their models already decided against the 3.5mm audio jack and rely solely on USB Type-C.

Intel too wants to replace 3.5mm audio jack with USB Type-C

Not only Apple and the others apparently are working at the end of the headphone jack, but Intel wants to replace them too. Unlike Apple, Intel hovers over the open standard USB Type-C. Already there are headphones and other audio devices that can be connected via a classic USB cable – The basis for this is currently the USB Audio Device 2.0 protocol. But the majority of headphones still use the classic analog headphone jack.

Both Intel technician Brad Saunders and Rahman Ismail called on Tuesday details on the announced later this quarter about the new USB audio standard, which would replace the classic 3.5-mm audio jack with USB Type-C. USB Type-C is a type of connector and similar to USB 2.0 to 3.1 supports the USB protocols. The connectors are smaller than the classic Micro-USB and type A connector and can be plugged in both directions.

The advantages of USB Audio

The new USB audio specification defines standards that prevent USB audio devices from consuming too much power. The difference in power consumption for classic audio jack was therefore “negligible,” Saunders said, according to CNET. The Intel technicians called good reasons for the end of the classic audio jack. The connection consumes valuable space in smartphones, which prevents a thinner design of the devices.

A USB audio connection would also be digital, which opens up many possibilities. For example, a cheap headphones with acoustic effects implemented appears like a large concert hall. Or, the signal could be automatically manipulated so that noises will be less perceived from the outside. Currently, the digital audio signal from your smartphone is  converted to analog audio but things are going to change soon with Intel joining the party.

LinkedIn Record: LinkedIn Launches Video Services Application

The content in social networks is increasingly visual and video is booming, expanding to all platforms in a very special way. Now it is the turn of LinkedIn, which wants to give more prominence to this type of content with the help of the influencers, who can post videos up to 30 seconds on the social network using LinkedIn Record.

LinkedIn Record

To do this, a small group of 500 people group must use an application, called LinkedIn Record, which is now available for Android and iOS devices, with which we can record videos that later can hang on your home page along with other publications, so the option to comment or share also will.

However, the content of these visual posts based on LinkedIn Record are to be professional and work, also focusing on aspects such as education, diversity and innovation.

At the moment, only influencers will be responsible for uploading such content, but the company does not rule out extending it to other users in the future.

The product manager of LinkedIn, Jasper Sherman, said in a statement posted on the website of the company, users can use video as a tool to build your reputation by sharing a few words in a short video instead of a text with thousands of words.

We are excited to see how the LinkedIn Record feature impacts its users.

Tesla Model X Autopilot helps man reach hospital during emergency

The Tesla model X incorporates a wide range of sensors for guidance. It has radar to detect objects located in front of the vehicle, a GPS for location tracking and even cameras to warn speed limits and road markings.

With so many elements likely to be attacked, it is logical that one of the main concerns of the company must be safety. However, the autopilot Tesla has been in the news lately for other reasons.

tesla model xIn this case we could say it saved the life of its driver, Joshua Neally, an American lawyer who suffered a pulmonary embolism while driving. Before losing consciousness, Neally activated the autopilot to be directed to a nearby hospital. When he awoke, he was in the destination he selected.

It is not the first time a Tesla car saved the life of its owner. Last July, the autopilot avoided a pedestrian who was passing by New York Avenue in Washington. However, the artificial intelligence applied to vehicles has also taken its first fatality. It happened last May, when the owner of a Tesla Model S was driving in the autopilot mode at high speed while watching a movie and crashed into a truck.

Acts as described bring out the moral dilemma about these automatic vehicles. While experts predict that with the arrival of driverless cars traffic accidents would be reduced by up to 90%, there are many who are concerned about the decisions that the machine will make before it has to choose between who’s life to save in a hypothetical accident.

However, and in view of the findings presented by hackers at Defcon conference, now the work of the engineers of the company focuses on developing measures to prevent such attacks and make safe driving their automatic vehicles is finally a reality.

This could result in the uprising of sustainable energy and autonomous technologies taking the mainstream thus proving to be highly efficient utilization of available resources.

Here’s a short video to take you through the Tesla Model X autopilot experience

Online Gaming Websites to get past a boring day

Surely every one of us must have spent some time on the online gaming websites in the past and probably a favorite pastime to many. Although they can’t replace or even cannot be compared to all the mega games but are undoubtedly fun and relaxing way to spend some quality time on the network when bored in your office or at home.

While most of these online gaming websites offer flash content, it sometimes becomes irritating if the website is poorly designed or a money laundering platform. To help you get rid of all such troubles, we have picked up several online gaming websites where you can play many free online games and mind you, some could ask you to pay.

4 Best Online Gaming Websites For You:

POGO

online gaming website pogo

Without doubt Pogo is one of the best online gaming sites, with lot of multiplayer games. A huge community of gamers will also accompany you on this online gaming website. In Pogo, we can find a great variety of games that allow us to win tokens with which we can customize our avatar and thereby increase our overall ranking within the community.

The specialty in Pogo is that it offers licensed games like Monopoly or Trivial completely for free. If you want to access richer content, then you can always join Club Pogo. Here members can access more features of games.

 

Minigames

Minigames is another top class online gaming websites, and for me one of the best. Its database of online games is free and huge, so we can find many games. All these games are divided into several categories and I bet completing all these games wouldn’t be possible, even if you tried all day. Similar to Pogo, it also offers a multiplayer section, and we can find many games as well as other sections such as real – time games or deluxe games.

 

Gimme5 Games

online gaming website gimme5games

The online gaming website is relatively simple on the eyes which is a big plus to the UX. Since when this website was recommended by my friend, I was one of my biggest pass time and it is one of the free online games that usually have reference. It has a much-appreciated social layer, ie user community nicely woven around it. You can also free download games for iPhone and iPod.

 

Kongregate

online gaming website kongregate

It is one of the pages of online games community of users, systems and other popular rankings. The truth is that this website is very well designed in how it features and the options, and the amount of games and also in the type of games themselves. Though few of my friends didn’t like Kongregate like the other online gaming websites but have to admit it is one of the best pages of free online games.

 

Although there are several other popular online gaming websites out there, these websites will provide you all the fun you need. I believe the best way in approaching these online gaming websites is by trying all of them and switching in between instead of staying stuck with just one or the other website forever.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update: Confirmed for 2 August [Free upgrade ends 29 July]

Windows 10 Anniversary Update confirmed for 2 August - Free upgrade ends 29 July

From the day it was announced, Windows 10 is offered as a free upgrade for users of Windows 7 and Windows 8, but it was an offer with an expiration date. And that expiration date is near, as Microsoft reminds us now with a huge countdown clock installed on their website.

The clock in Microsoft page is dedicated to companies, but the date also applies to individuals. Starting next July 30 , just a year after the operating system was launched officially, the update will no longer be free and will cost $ 119 (about € 106).

At first glance it might seem strange that people remain without upgrading to Windows 10, given the insistence with which Microsoft has encouraged, as it somehow its users to upgrade. Last March, for example, some Reddit users complained that their computers had been upgraded to Windows 10 automatically without user permission; more recently we echoed a new Microsoft campaign, with ads full screen interrupting your work to redecorate the update.

This insistence Microsoft has also resulted in unlikely situations , such as update notice to Windows 10 that you went to a meteorologist in full weather forecast live, or demand that made Microsoft the owner of a travel agency, for economic losses that led to its business automatic upgrade to Windows 10 (and why Microsoft was forced to compensate with $ 10,000).

The truth is that although at first Microsoft seemed worried by the slow pace of adoption of its new operating system (which perhaps led to such extreme measures), today Windows 10 has already more than 23% share market , more than double that Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 together, although still far from Windows 7.
In any case, if you really interested in the new Microsoft operating system for free , it’s time that you hurry and you upgrade before the deadline, the July 30 ends. In addition, a few days after the expected exit Anniversary Update , with a few changes and interesting improvements .
