Yesterday, the company launched foremost update iOS 8.0.1 in order to fix all the issues related to the installation of iOS 8. The update was revealed to resolve the bugs of iOS 8 brought several more bugs for the owners of iPad and iPhone.

Shortly, after the release of iOS 8.0.1 the company rolled back the new update from its servers.

 

People were already mad because of the issues of iOS 8 and this iOS 8.0.1 update increased their infuriation. Users were assuming that now Apple will take almost a week or two for the launch iOS 8.0.2. Till then they have to deal with all the bugs.

Tonight, Apple introduced a new iOS 8.0.2 update for the users of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It was definitely a pleasant surprise for the owners of these devices since they were really annoyed with the bugs.

 

The good news is that iOS 8.0.2 update can fix the bugs of both iOS 8 and iOS 8.0.1. Apple offered this update for all the devices such as iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina Display, iPad mini, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2 and iPod touch fifth generation.

The things that are present in Apple most recent update are mentioned below:

  1. The update will fix the problem associated with the cellular network connectivity and Touch ID on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

New Apple iPhone 6 VS Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Battle Begins

September 10, 2014 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

People have started comparing Apple’s new iPhone 6 with other some of the top rivals such as Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is one of those products which can really give iPhone 6 a tough time. Below is a comparison between iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for people who are planning to purchase a new Phone and are perplex which phone would be best for them.

People heard lots of rumors regarding the upcoming smartphones and most of them were related to Apple’s iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Last year, the Samsung and Apple launched Galaxy note 3 and iPhone 5s almost at the same time. Rumors proposed that the same thing is going to  happen this year as well and both the smartphones will arrive at markets till the end of this year.

 

The rumors made it more clear and suggested that these two flagships  will touch the markets before the holidays.

In the beginning of this month Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 4, a successor of the Galaxy Note 3.  Rumors and leaked features  showed  that it’s an admirable device because of which customers were eagerly anticipating for it.

Today, Apple arranged a massive event and launched new iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 plus. Both the smartphones are all set to enter the race with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. People are  still in the process of examining the two new smartphones due to which it is quite early to  judge which one is the best smartphone.  However, the chief differences and similarities between the two cell phones are  mentioned below.

iPhone 6 Pre-Order Date:

Currently, Apple offers a pre-order date for iPhone 6. Whereas, people are still unaware of the pre-order date and details of U.S carriers of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

However, Verizon releases a special splash page for pre-order of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 but the site does not provide any particular date. Rest of the carriers disappointed their customers who wanted to pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Today, Apple declared 12 September as  a pre-order date for iPhone 6. The company has announced this date for both iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.  People can pre-order this device through the website of  Apple and other carriers.  The proclamation of the pre-order date of iPhone 6 increases the chances that iPhone 6 will  go on sale before the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Generally, Apple faces a shortage of iPhone supply in the first three or four weeks of its release. Therefore, it is certainly difficult for the few customers who wish to buy iPhone 6 since it would be hard to find this phone in the markets.
Galaxy Note 4 Release Date:

Apple has announced a released date 19 September for both the new iPhones, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus.  The date is particularly for all the big carriers and it also involves a small carrier. All the Apple store and retail stores will open at 8AM sharp to facilitate the customers.

It signifies that iPhone 6 release date will come ahead the release date of Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Though Samsung has not yet announced a specific release date for Galaxy Note 4 but it is definite that the device will come in sometime in October. However, retailers have given the date of 10 of October for the release of Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

iPhone 6 Price vs. Galaxy Note 4 Price:

The price of iPhone 6 will come at two different prices, which would depend on the internal storage space. Apple’s iPhone 6 would be available at a cost of $199.99 where the larger iPhone 6 plus would be a bit more expensive.

  1. iPhone 6 16GB – $199
  2. iPhone 6 64GB – $299
  3. iPhone 6 128GB – $399
  4. iPhone 6  Plus 16GB – $299
  5. iPhone 6 Plus 64GB – $399
  6. iPhone 6 Plus 128GB – $499

There are six different price points for the iPhone 6 but predictions are that Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will come at merely one price. However, Samsung has not disclosed the price of Galaxy Note 4 but analysts have a rough estimate. It seems like Samsung might sell Galaxy Note 4 of 32 GB at the Galaxy Note’s regular price.
This price is grounded on the last year’s retail price of Galaxy Note 3 in Europe. The contest of T-mobile put the complete retail price at nearly $681 which is equal to the off-contract price of Galaxy Noe 3.

There is a possibility that Samsung Galaxy Note 4 would be pretty expensive since it would come with a metal design, an S pen style and several other features.

Carriers:

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available in AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Verizon, C Spire. Apple has also added some other pre-paid and regional carriers in the United Sated. Generally, small carriers announce their iPhone release details a little bit late therefore, people might not hear anything from them till October or November.

Whereas, Samsung will probably offer the similar carriers such as AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S Cellular and Verizon. There are less chances that the company will include some new carriers for its U.S customers. It will surely a plus point of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

 

Size:

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is undoubtedly a large phone, but is extremely thin and lighter in weight. This phone is 53.5 x 78.6 x 8.5 mm thin and weighs 176 grams.

On the other hand, iPhone 6 model which has a 4.7 inch is relatively thin as compared to the iPhone 5S. The phone measure  138.1 x 67.0 x
6.9mm and weighs 129 grams. It is undeniably the thinner device than the other smartphone available in the markets. This small size makes it more handy and user can even  use it with one hand.

The second iPhone 6 which is known as iPhone 6 Plus has more similarities with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. However, the device as some noteworthy difference as well like iPhone 6 weighs 172 grams that is a lighter than Galaxy Noe 4.  This product is a bit taller and thinner than the upcoming Galaxy Note 4.

Display:

Samsung usually launches a new member of Galaxy Note series with a huge display screen. It is a trademark of the series, which win the attention of customers. The company followed the same tradition for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The device offers a display of 5.7-inch Quad HD which means it has 2,560 x 1,440 resolution with 515 pixels per inch. It is one of the most remarkable display people have ever seen.

Earlier, the chief advantage of series Galaxy Note over iPhone was its retina display. This time Apple has filled the gap and designed both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus with a new Retina HD display. The company offers a 4.7 inch screen for iPhone 6 which is equal to 1334 x 750 resolution at 326 pixels per inch. Whereas, iPhone 6 plus comes with a screen of 5.5 inch that means 1920 x 1080 resolution at 401 pixels-per-inch.

These display screens will give a chance to iPhone 6 to walk along with the best Retina display of Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Although people cannot judge the two smartphones with their display but it can be said that both looks amazing. The major difference is in the size of iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Samsung Galaxy S Pen:

Samsung offers an exclusive feature of the S Pen stylus in this new smartphone. The user can write as well as draw something through this S Pen. Moreover, it will allow user to enjoy the benefits of some powerful applications.

This time Samsung made some considerable alteration in the S Pen of Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The company has improved the sensitivity on the screen of Note 4 therefore, user would not be able to share this S pen on Samsung Galaxy Note 3. This increase in sensitivity will also lead to a better handwriting.

The company has made some major improvements in the built in application of S pen such as Air commands, S note and Voice Memo and much more. For some people this feature will be certainly very appealing and for the rest it would be just a superfluous thing.

There is a bad news for the people who intends to purchase iPhone 6 that it does not offer an S-pen option.

 

Multitasking:

The multitasking is a feature which Samsung has completely nailed throughout the years. The entire range of Samsung Note series is ideal for TouchWiz’s assortment of multitasking features. It also contains the most popular feature of Multi-window View.
Multi-Window View permit user to run more than one application at a time.In Samsung Galaxy Note 4 the company has made some excellent changes, for instance the option to access application in full or two screens or a pop up. This feature will let users relocate apps on the screen with just one swipe.

The first iOS 8.0 release showed that iPad or iPhone would not come with the feature of point to split multitasking. However, Samsung’s multitasking feature is definitely unbeatable. The large screen of iPhone 6 plus is incredible, but it cannot compete with some fantastic elements of Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

 

Sensors:

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes with a wide range of sensors like a heart rate sensor, UV sensor and several other sensors.  The heart rate sensor will calculate the plus rate of the user whereas UV sensor will provide the UV level readings.

This UV sensor will take care of your beauty through its different options. It will help you to avoid sunburn, premature skin aging and could even lessen the risk of skin cancer.

Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus  contains some other features instead of these sensors. Both the devices offer a Touch ID fingerprint sensor that is fixed inside the home button. This Touch ID is the same technology which the company offers in iPhone 5s. It will let user to unlock the device just by the touch of their fingerprints over the home button.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 presents a fingerprint sensor similar to the Galaxy Note S5. People usually believe that this fingerprint sensor is substandard as compared to the iPhone 6 sensor. Samsung’s sensor is pretty problematic since the user need to use it with both hands.

 

Storage:

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus both offers three different storages that are 16GB, 64 GB and 128 GB. These devices do not come with an expandable storage, which means user should completely depend upon the internal storage.

As far as the storage of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is concerned, the device comes with an internal storage of 32 GB.  User can expand this storage since there is a micro SD card slot which supports the 64GB MicroSD card. Galaxy Note 4  offers a drop box as well, which provide an extra 50 GB storage.

 

Battery:

The only thing  people know about the battery of both the phones is that one will come with a removable battery. Samsung is offering a removable battery which means user can easily change battery in case of any problem. Samsung usually gives this option in order to attract people.

Before the arrival of iPhone 6 models, Apple was offering the iPhone 4S for free on-contract. However, very soon it will be delisted from Apple Store and it won’t be available for purchase.

iPhone 6 Release Date of Sept 19 for Selected Countries

On the Sept 19 release date, the iPhone 6 won’t be launched all over the world at the same time. However, it is expected to arrive in the countries like Australia, Canada, France, Japan, and the UK on the said date. Previously too Apple has launched the iPhone models in these countries and later it is made available to the other countries.

Apple has not revealed any information on the iPhone 6 release date for other countries. It may take several weeks for the iPhone 6 to arrive in to other countries. The arrival of iPhone 6 in other countries also depends on how fast Apple manages to replenish its stocks.

When it comes to iPhone 6 Plus, buyers should be expecting more delays as it has been speculated that there will be shortage of phablet model. This means that the iPhone 6 Plus may arrive late in other countries.

iPhone 6 Release Date in the US and Pre-order Details

The iPhone 6 release date for US audience is Sept 19. The iPhone is the undisputed leading smartphone in the US. Apple has already revealed that through the iPhone 6 launch event that both the new handsets can be pre-ordered from Sept 12 in the US which is exactly one week before the iPhone 6 release date of Sept 19.



The iPhone 6 pre-orders are likely to begin at 12am on Sept 12. Apple has not confirmed on the exact timing for accepting pre-orders. Those who access the Apple Store retail page and order the new iPhone 6 will be able to take advantage of the free shipping service.

If you do not pre-order the iPhone 6, probably the only option left with you to purchase it would be to physically visit the Apple Store at 8am on Sept 19, the official release date of iPhone 6. Also, it won’t be easy to purchase the iPhone 6 on that day because of the long queues that people will build before 8am or as early as midnight.

$40 OFF On Playstation 4- Limited Time Deal

September 10, 2014 By Cristopher Hall Leave a Comment

Sony has announced that the company has managed to reduce the price of PS4. This enabled Sony to revise their financial expectations, forecasts increasing income gaming division from 20 billion to 25 billion yen. So they are now offering the PS4 deal cuts price of $40 for the limited time. This offer will boost their sales and they will compete better with the other game gadgets present in the market.

The company market sales executive says “It is expected that sales will be higher than expected in May, due to high rates of PS4. Operating profit will be higher than the May forecast, by reducing the cost of production PS4.”

 

The PS4 is strong enough to play AAA games. You can also Blu-Rays and DVDs play. However, and this may surprise you, they cannot play CDs and mp3s, and not even read external drives. Sony has its media support for the PS4 significantly improve: a DLNA support also would be very handy for the control of videos via the network. The older PS3 does not come with CDs, MP3s, and external drives and even clear with 3D Blu-Rays, but Sony’s latest console. We can only hope that this will change with a software update and that as quickly as possible.

Due to price reduction in a store the PS4 will charge you $399 plus tax, but if you find in on this PS4 deal you can walk away with a PS4 for $359.99 and free shipping to the U.S.

The company announced that this deal has a 30 day money back assurance, and if you want to use the savings on a guarantee you can buy a 3-year Square Trade guarantee card for just $53, so you are only spending a little more than if you brought from in a store. This offer is valid on a brand new, unused PS4 that you’ll need to buy on its official store, which is an authorized Sony with great feedback so you don’t need to worry about getting a wrecked or fake PS4.
