Apple Dot Com Redesign – A Sort-Of Face-Lift

August 7, 2015 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Apple dot come new redesigned website

The big A just got a face-lift, and their Apple dot com website that went live today is redesigned. There’s no Store tab present anymore, and the company removed the store.apple.com domain. This is a huge change for Apple’s website which is considered to be one of the biggest online retailers in the world.

The buying experience has been changed to keep up with the times, and now when you finish browsing for products, and decide to buy one, you’ll not be transported to a separate store, and both actions can be accomplished on the same page.

My personal experience with Apple’s store was not that great. It’s not the fact that I just hate keeping a ton of unnecessary tabs open, subsequently draining my RAM one cell at a time, but I just hate swapping, and going back and forth when there’s an easier way to do it.

More filters, and more sub-pages for landing pages make the buying experience more intuitive, thus making giving customers all the tools necessary to buy Apple product.

There’s a unified shopping cart now – welcome to 2015 Apple; and whatever you wish to put in there, will follow you wherever you go on the website, and a drop down sort-of menu will showcase what you’re spending money on.

After you’re set on what to buy from Apple, a single page appears where you can select all your traditional choices, and if you want to extend the warranty or not.

Apple dot com is witnessing 1 billion users traffic each year, from 40 different countries across the globe.

Apple’s website, according to Alexa.com, is in the top 50 most visited websites in the world, and its traffic rankings put it at number 34 in the US. Here’s some food for thought. The majority of users that visit Apple dot come are female, and the browsing location is school related.

It’s unsure at the moment if the whole website is going to be temporarily taken down whenever a new product will hit stores, just like they did with their Store page every single time a new device, or gadget was about to be launched.

What we do know is that the new redesigned Apple dot com was launched without a hitch today, and it hasn’t experienced a single second of down time.

But why redesign the store? To fit the ever growing mobile platform of course. Sure, switching to the Store app, and back to the original page isn’t that hideous on desktop, but when you’re on mobile, it can get a little bit tricky.

Advertisers Bleeding Money Because Of Mobile Ad Fraud

July 28, 2015 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Advertisers Bleeding Money Because Of Mobile Ad Fraud

According to a new study about ad fraud, as much as 15% of mobile apps allegedly load stealth ads. The ads can consume as much as 2 gb of connection data daily by downloading images and videos that are never viewed. This translates into advertisers losing as much as 1 billions dollars in 2015 only.

The 10 day study revealed how this hijacking method will load hidden ads in the blink of an eye, going as far as to emulate human behavior. Every smartphone owner could be the victim of ad fraud with them ever suspecting anything is wrong.

With the mobile market rapidly developing and growing into a profitable scene for advertisement, ad fraud didn’t delay to make its appearance. Additionally, the ever more ingenious fraud strategies are not only harmful for the advertising moguls, but they can also affect the consumer segment.

Advertisers Bleeding Money Because Of Mobile Ad Fraud

Exactly what numbers are we looking at? The study claims that 1% of US devices run fake ads, while in Europe and Asia as much as 2-3% of devices are similarly hijacked. How does this impact regular consumers? If you were wondering where your data and battery life were going, this study might answer your questions. The malicious apps can end up downloading 1-2 gb daily, including text, videos and pictures.

While the invisible ads pop up on all major mobile operating systems, it would appear Android is taking the biggest hit with a fraud risk proportion of 14.8%, followed by Apple with 11.7% and Windows, with 8.8%.

A typical legitimate app will refresh every 30-120 seconds, unlike the illegitimate ones which will deliver as many as 20 ads per minute. The situation looks disconcerting, especially when we have a look at some other things the apps can do: they can prevent your device from going into sleep mode, they can delete or modify your smartphone’s memory and they can even track your location.

Advertisers Bleeding Money Because Of Mobile Ad Fraud

So what can the average consumer do to take shelter from the malicious apps? One suggestion would be to scan app reviews and keep an eye out for excessive data usage. Another red flag could be the power usage, since these two could hint at fraud. One more piece of advice is to pull the plug on some apps’ cell data access to make sure you stay on the safe side of the fence.

While the study points the finger mostly at small, unknown app publishers, the bigger picture at hand is online and privacy safety. The study raises many questions and leaves the public demanding answers and solutions.

Apple’s Issues With Storage May Be A Thing Of The Past

June 30, 2015 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Apple CEO Tim Cook

Apple’s issues with storage may be a thing of the past, thanks to Samsung.

9to5Mac cites as source KoreanTimes, which state that Apple is in negotiations with Samsung – they want the South-Korean company to build them a crucial component for their new iPhone product line. Rumours have it that Apple wants to ditch Toshiba, SK hynix and SanDisk, and go with Samsung as their only storage component manufacturer.

Their iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones come with a standard 16 GB storage, and some consider this to be way too small for what you can do with a device in 2015. By the time the new iPhone comes out, 16 GB of storage may not be enough for what the average Joe needs. More so, operating systems may increase in size in the near future.

Apple's iPhone 6 16 GB struggles with storage space

Apple wants to stay ahead of problems that might arise in the (near)future.

We already know that Samsung is in Apple’s good grace, because they will reprise their role as chip makers for the California-based company, but their relationship might turn another leaf.

Apple’s standard iPhone 6 model comes with a built-in storage of 16 GB – users can choose upwards to 32 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB.

Apple might scratch off completely the 16 GB model, thus making Apple aficionados pay more buck for a standard model – which rumours have it will stand at 32 GB.

In 2014, photo app Ice Cream reports that  iPhone 6 16 GB users run out of storage space too often. Apple is listening to its community, and considers that – ” The belief is more and more as we use iCloud services for documents and our photos and videos and music, that perhaps the most price-conscious customers are able to live in an environment where they don’t need gobs of local storage because these services are lightening the load. “ says  Phil Schiller, the company’s head of marketing.

Apple iPhone 6 16 GB storage graph

IceCream / Ondevice Research 2014

If the rumours are true, Apple is shifting its focus on storage space for its new iPhone device, and they consider this a big deal, even though they seriously don’t show it. Apple is trying to make iCloud services popular, but it’s aware of the fact that not everyone is keen on jumping on the bandwagon which is currently dominated by Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.

Also, as a side note, Apple is considering that the iPhone 5C’s 8 GB of storage space is incredibly small, and it might interrupt its line pretty soon – only for it to come out with 16 GBs, and even 32 GBs.

Apple will most likely announce something official this Fall, as the company is known not to respond to rumours.

What do you think? Good, or bad decision on Apple’s side? Would you pay more for a standard model that has double the storage space that the current iPhone 6 has?

Google Play Music is Now Free, Sort Of, In America

June 24, 2015 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

Google Play Music

Google Play Music is now kinda’ free for users residing in America, but it’s ad supported following Spotify’s model.

Google couldn’t have announced this at a better time, for them. Apple Music is almost a week away from us, and Google announcing this new option for their music streaming service might cripple Apple’s  plans of dominating the market. Sure, it’s going to be ad supported, you can’t use the service in offline mode, and it excludes some songs from its repertoire.

The free version will consist of curated playlists, which are tailored for different parts of the day – I don’t think you want to hear melodic death metal just before you go to sleep.

Google Play Music, the free version, will run on Google-owned Songza radio app – which the big G bought last year.

Google Play Music

Google product manager Elias Roman said that – ” Even if you’re not already a Google Play Music subscriber, we’ve got you covered. Google Play Music now has a free, ad-supported version in the US, giving you a new way to find just the right music – and giving artists another way to earn revenue. The new free, ad-supported version of Google Play Music is launching first in the US. It’s available on the web today, and is rolling out this week to Android and iOS. “

With Apple Music launching on the 30th of June, Google might have just shifted some of the hype towards them. It wouldn’t have been such a big news if Apple Music wasn’t launching, but Google knows that timing is essential.

Google Play Music might just beat Apple Music

Audiophiles might just join Google Play Music after having but a taste of what the music streaming service is all about – the monthly subscription costs $10.

According to reports, Google Play Music had around 815,000 paying subscribers in the US last December.

The free option for Google Play Music doesn’t seem to be expanding to other countries anytime soon, but their paid subscription is already available in 52 countries across the world.

Apple Music is already facing some serious issues, but the whole scandal with Taylor Swift was the cherry on top. I know, they twisted it around, but does it seriously take a huge artist to pull its most popular album, Taylor’s 1989, for Apple to realize that not paying royalties to musicians for the first three months of the free trial is just plain absurd?

The shame Apple, the shame. 

Taylor Swift Apple Scandal

Taylor Swift Apple Scandal

We should be happy that the competition is so big – this means that we, the users, should get only the best quality of service.

I’m a fan of Google Play Music, but I’ll definitely try Apple Music out to see what’s it all about – hey, free three months!

What about you? Are you sticking with Google Play Music? Or are you switching to Apple Music? Tell us in the comments section below!

iPad Mini 4 Might be Launching Soon

June 22, 2015 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

iPad Mini

Is Apple prepared to release an update to their iPad Mini product line? The internet says so. Leaks have flooded Twitter on the 19th, and the pictures in cause are showcasing an iPad Mini that looks almost exactly like the third iteration. Why fix something that isn’t broken, right?

Well, GSM Arena says that – ” A set of live images, portraying what is allegedly a bumper case for the upcoming iPad mini 4, showed up online. It’s commonplace to have case manufacturers a step ahead of the crow in terms of dimensions and layout of new devices, and it’s no different in this instance.”

Almost two months ago a video leaked that showcased the rear shell of the new iPad Mini 4 which we later discovered that it was made out of aluminium. MacRumors notes that – “[…] closely resembles the shell of the existing iPad mini, but it does include several design elements introduced with the iPad Air 2.”

Apple iPad Mini 4

Based on what we’re seeing right now, the video that was leaked almost two months ago isn’t a fake, and the new pictures are giving it credibility.

The mute switch has been removed, and it has been replaced with a microphone hole. Also, the holes alongside the Lightning port are now organized in a single row of large speakers, rather than two smaller holes.

Earlier this year, and prior to the leaks, Apple aficionados have noticed that the company has withdrawn their original Apple Mini from their official store. We were starting to think that Apple might discontinue their product line.

The original iPad Mini is using an outdated A5 processor, and it was about time they did something about it. Although, we didn’t expect it to be removing the original iPad Mini from the production line, but c’est la vie I guess.

Apple iPad Mini 3

Apple is seriously trying to get a hold of everything at the moment. They just settled the issues regarding not paying any money to artists in the first 3 months of their Apple Music streaming service. The company is offering 3 months for free to entice audiophiles to come join their side.

How is Apple managing all of this stuff? It’s a little bit spooky, and I  won’t be shocked if sometime in the near future the company is going to announce that they bought an island, and that they plan on creating a new country – where you are obligated to eat an apple twice a day.

Well, without further ado here’s the YouTube clip that showcases Apple’s iPad Mini 4 cover.

Not really a fan of Apple, but I know how’s it like to be pumped by something and discovering there are leaks on the internet. Yay for being giddy as a school girl!

The DxO One Turns Your iPhone Into a DSLR

June 19, 2015 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

DxO One Camera

The DxO One is an awesome add-on that can make your iPhone shoot DSLR-quality photographs.

We all take a ton of pictures on a monthly basis – whether we’re taking pics of our loved ones, or just quickly snapping something funny that you’ve witnessed on your daily commute. At the current moment, we don’t need to worry that our pics will be pixelated, and indescribable because the market is saturated with devices that offer average camera units.

But none of the smartphones on the market can output a DSLR-quality photo.

DxO One pic sample

Here’s where the DxO One comes in handy. It’s due to be released this Fall, and the digital image processing company that is behind the DxO One states that it’s going to be pocket-sized, and it’s going to connect easily to your iPhone, or iPad device – you pair them using your Lightning connector.

Basically, the DxO One uses your iPhone, or iPad, as a viewfinder. The company is promising DSLR-quality photos, but this won’t come cheap. The DxO One is going to cost $599. Yikes! That’s quite expensive. The company states that their little pocket friendly camera will compete with full-sized mirrorless cameras.

Here’s another sample of the quality that it can output:

DxO One Camera

The camera is super light weighing at about 3.8-ounces, and measuring 2.65-inches tall. The cherry on top is its camera unit that features a 20.2 megapixel sensor, and because it’s paired with an f/1.8 lens, it can compete with 32mm-equivalent lens’.

The DxO One is going to come with its very own Apple app. You can use it to change the ISO, and the aperture, as well as swivelling the camera when it’s connected to your iPhone, or iPad, in order to take photos from different perspectives. Don’t forget those awesome DSLR-quality selfies. Also, you can shoot video at 1080p.

The photos you take are stored on DxO One’s microSD card, but you can easily transfer them to your device of choice.

If you jump on the bandwagon and pre-order the DxO One now, you can get the company’s very own image processing software for free.

Now, the DxO One doesn’t have a flash of its own, and it will use your iPhone’s, or iPad’s flash, but the company noted that the camera will work perfectly in a low light setting. I haven’t tested it yet, and all we have are these photos that the company has released. They look pretty good, but it isn’t the first time a company has lied to sell their product.

A Bigger iPad Pro Might Be Coming, iOS 9 Code Notes

June 16, 2015 By Cristopher Hall Leave a Comment

Bigger iPad Pro to be released this Fall

The new iPad Pro resolution should be 2732×2048 – code found in the new iOS 9 states that Apple’s new device will feature a larger keyboard. Thus making us think that their new iPad Pro will most likely be bigger.

Thanks to developer Hiraku Wang, we should be seeing the 12.9-inch iPad Pro sporting a pixel density of 263ppi.

Reports earlier this year were noting that Apple’s new device will most likely be bigger, but now we’re closer to confirmation. Although, there isn’t an official announcement from Apple, and don’t expect this to happen any time soon. Apple isn’t known to reply to these kinds of rumours, and they’ll focus on doing their own thing.

Bigger iPad Pro to be released this Fall

As expected, Apple’s new mobile software isn’t expected to roll until this Fall, although if you’re a developer you can get your hands on the dev release, and meddle with it. Probably Apple wants to pair the release of their new software with the announcement of their new bigger iPad Pro product line.

It’s not unlikely that Apple will talk about their iPad Pro at their iPhone 6 plus event, but don’t hold your breath for this actually happening.

Apple spent quite some time at their WWDC conference speaking to devs, teaching them that the best way to design an app, and offer the best kind of experience, is to have size fluidity in mind. Of course, Apple is also sticking to their traditional views that apps should also be made elegant and simple, and nobody should sacrifice design in order to release their apps. *Doh* Apple, thanks for being Captain Obvious once again.

Bigger iPad Pro to be released this Fall

Apple’s new keyboard will be scalable to sizes that are unseen on their already-released devices. It will also feature more keys that what the present devices have, making us think that although the size will be quite bigger, keys might be clustered a little bit. This isn’t a serious issue, and one might use their iPad Pro for more serious issues rather than just typing away on Facebook, or looking for that cute cat video on YouTube.

Apple seems to focus more and more on multi-tasking, and size fluidity. Don’t get me wrong, they are making steps forwards, and we, the consumers, should be thrilled that Apple is working towards a more intuitive UI, but what about a better battery life? I’ve been ranting about this for the past year. Sure, we get better screens, great software, but battery life seems to be forgotten.

A few months ago we wrote about a new aluminium battery being developed at Stanford that can be re-charged in just one minute. It’s not perfected yet, and it can output only a meager 2 volt, and can only carry 40 watts of electricity per kilogram. Hopefully, we’ll see this issue being tackled by the big corps too.

Apple Watch 2 to be Released in 2016 Tech Sites Report

June 15, 2015 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Apple Watch 2 rumoured to be released in 2016

The Apple Watch 2 is rumoured to be released in 2016 – prestigious tech sites are reporting.

We’re still toying with Apple’s first smartwatch iteration, announcing that the Apple Watch 2 is currently being developed might stop some potential clients of acquiring said product. Apple has simply crushed the smartwatch market with their product, and most likely they’ll continue to do so with their next gen device.

At the current moment, Apple doesn’t have a serious challenger. Sure, we got Pebble Time, and the okay’ish AndroidWear product line, but reports have shown that consumers are just going mad over Apple’s device. No wonder, it’s super simple to use, it has a minimal and elegant design, and Apple is working round the clock to add features to the Apple Watch.

GForGamers, which is a Korean-based news outlet has stated that Apple will once again use LG as its main supplier of the Apple Watch 2’s display.

“LG Display (LGD) will be the exclusive supplier for the panels used by second-generation Apple Watch due out for next year, in addition to first-generation Apple Watch launched in April,” said sources.

Apple Watch 2 rumoured to be released in 2016

Apparently, Apple is in a tight relationship with LG, and they are praising their hardware as top-notch, and best-choice on the market. Also LG’s display will feature P-OLED, which involves a plastic organic light that emits diodes – ” it offers higher resolution than liquid crystal display (LCD) and is a display plastic substrate which uses plastic, instead of glasses, to make it flexible.”

The article also added that – ” “(T)he Cupertino-based giant considered multiple suppliers for the next gen Watch’s display, but eventually settled with LG as an exclusive partner. This strategy goes against Apple’s usual M.O. of using multiple suppliers for a specific component, but sources add that Apple settled on this decision because LG’ performance on the P-OLED smartwatch display market is unmatched, offering high quality products and good yield.”

With Apple Watch launching only seven weeks ago, considering the fact that Apple Watch 2 is currently being developed might make one think that Apple will stop supporting their first gen smartwatch, but this isn’t the case.

Apple’s smartwatch product line will most like follow a 12 month cycle due to the fact that a) it sold tremendously well since its release, and b) it wants to continue its domination of the market. Also, Apple Watch 2 might be released at the same time with Apple’s new iPhone device – possibly even bundling them up together.

Apple Watch 2 rumoured to be released in 2016

I have yet to buy Apple’s smartwatch, but if it’s going to be released in just about a year from now, I think I’ll patiently wait for the next gen device. What about you? Are you the proud owner of an Apple Watch? Or are you waiting for the next one?

iOS 9 Rumours

May 22, 2015 By Cristopher Hall Leave a Comment

iOS 9

The iOS 9 update is rumoured to be released in the first two weeks of June – it coincides with the WWDC 2015 conference in San Francisco, and we all know that Apple has its keynote in the first day. We don’t know many things for certain, and at this point we can only talk about iOS 9 rumours, but boy, aren’t they making me feel all giddy!

iOS 9 Rumours

Before reading further, keep in mind that some rumours are just pure speculation on my part, but they are based on what trends we are seeing on other competitors such as Samsung, Sony, and LG; and rumours are based on leaked information from various tech reviewers. Take everything with a pinch of salt, and enjoy the future!

iOS 9 Release Date

iOS 9

What we know for sure is that developers will be able to download the update as early as next month – it actually makes sense, because this is the pattern that we’ve seen Apple uphold for its past updates. But some unofficial sources state that Apple may be holding back on releasing the update, and in its stead we will see iOS 8.4 with its new artist-driven social network – a key part of Apple’s new music app.

If the unofficial rumours are true then soon after 8.4, iOS 9 will enter public beta, and a final version available for everyone will hit streets sometime around September. I know, it’s going to be a total disappointment if this happens, but we don’t want to experience the same ordeal as last year’s iOS 8 release – *ugh* just thinking about it makes me shiver.

We don’t want a buggy iOS 9 that will only frustrate us.

iOS 9 Compatibility

iOS 9

iOS 7 said goodbye to the iPhone 3GS almost two years ago. I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but I think that iOS 9 will say its farewell’s to iPhone 4 – possibly even iPhone 4S. Don’t kill the messenger, it’s not my fault that the iPhone 4S has an execution date.

If you think about it some more it becomes a certainty. With the iPhone 5, and iPhone 5c Apple introduced 1 GB of RAM – 512 MB more than its previous iteration.

iOS 9 Download Size

iOS 9

This is a huge problem, and we hope Apple addresses it. Rumours have it that it’s going to be small in size, and we can only hope that it’s going to be so.

You need up to 5 GB of free storage space on your device for iOS 8, please don’t tell me that I’m going to need more than that for the next update. It would mean that I have to delete all of my music and pictures – I certainly don’t want to do that.

The counter-argument here is that you can always use a cloud service to save up on space – sorry, but I don’t want to pay a dime more.

To end this phase – iOS 8.3 and 8.4 beta are setting a marvellous example. A smaller download size – under 5 GB for sure.

A New Siri

iOS 9

The new update will also come packed with a new Siri – small changes, but changes that we all need. It’s been reported that developers are hard at work trying to make it as good as the Siri found on Apple Watch.

Siri seriously needs to up its game if it wants to compete with Microsoft’s Cortana, and the really accurate Google Now.

Siri also needs to learn some manners, and shouldn’t speak unless spoken to – I’ve had some problems in the past with Siri activating all by itself when I was talking on the phone, or just talking to myself. I didn’t even said Hey, Siri, just mindless nonsense.

Integration of Beats Music

iOS 9

I can take it or leave it.

Google’s music streaming service is the best on the market. No, not Spotify, because it isn’t available everywhere. I travel quite a lot for business, and pleasure, and in certain European countries I can’t use Spotify.

Dr. Dre’s music service seems to have taken quite a leap towards world music domination, with more and more users switching to Beats. What I can say for sure is that Jay-Z’s Tidal isn’t going to pose a problem to the current providers. It’s really expensive, and it doesn’t offer a variety of songs like they promised. If I wanted to hear only commercial music, I would have listened to the radio.

Apple Maps with Public Transit – Trains, Subways, and Buses

iOS 9

It’s been a tough time since Apple Maps decided to be an independent lad leaving its partnership with Google Maps. Over the past years Apple has bought several GPS firms, and the most notable one is its recent acquisition of high-tech GPS firm Coherent Navigation. Could it be that we will able to finally use Apple Maps and get to our destinations safely, and on the correct route?

I seriously don’t want to take a detour through, I don’t know, The Grand Canyon.

Apple is also working on an augmented reality view, but let’s take one step at a time, baby steps actually. I wouldn’t bite more than I can chew.

Stability

iOS 9

It’s safe to say that this isn’t a rumour, just the logical next step – a more stable software. iOS 8 suffers from glitchy starts, buggy transitions, and that super-annoying battery drain bug.

We hope that Apple isn’t rushing anything, even though the adoption rate of Apple devices over Android ones is growing larger every month, and it would make perfect sense to release a new software as soon as possible – please be stupid this time Apple, just for me.

Interface Shortcuts

iOS 9

Whatever anyone may say, interface shortcuts are never enough, and I’m fairly sure that iOS 9 will feature new ones – simple taps, and gestures like what their new Force system can do.

iOS 8 did a pretty good job, leaving all of the bugs aside, with interactive notifications, a multitasking menu, and other shortcuts. We need, no, we demand new stuff Apple – it’s your own fault for teaching us to act like this.

Rumoured Features for the iPhone 6s

May 18, 2015 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

iPhone 6s Rumours

The iPhone 6 was an incredible success that propelled Apple to greater heights – who would’ve guessed that this was even possible?!

The iPhone 6s is just around the corner – hopefully! If we take a look at Apple’s release schedule, most of their smartphones were released during Autumn, so we should be expecting their new device to hit sometime between September and November.

It’s also rumoured that because Apple is adding so many new features to their smartphone they’ll call it iPhone 7, not 6s, but who knows for sure?

What we can do is talk about the rumours, and speculate amongst ourselves.

Force Touch

iPhone 6s Rumour

This is just pure speculation over here, but Force Touch would be a great addition to Apple’s smartphone. Their new MacBook line has already adopted the Force and it was positively received by users, and critics alike. What you may not know is that Force is completely useless – you’ll use it for its novelty sake a couple of times, then you’ll revert back to your old ways. I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m just saying that you shouldn’t fix something that ain’t broken.

What I do love about the Force Touch is that Apple will let third-party developers create apps for their new feature. Can’t wait to see what crazy things innovative minds will come up!

12 Megapixel Camera

iPhone 6s Rumour

We all know that the iPhone 6 has one of the best cameras on the market. But Apple’s 8 MP camera hasn’t change in a while – I’m not dissing them, and I’m not a hypocrite, I know what I’ve just wrote, but they have the capabilities to add more megapixels. It’s not like they will be reinventing the camera, or how it works – although, we’re talking about Apple here.

We see smartphones with great image quality, and our display is outputting greater, and better, resolutions year in, and year out, so why not better photo resolutions too? 

It’s most likely that the company will try to add more power to their camera.

A9 Processor

iPhone 6s Rumour

This isn’t speculation, and we’re going by pure logic here. With every new iteration, Apple has upgraded the smartphone’s processor. What Apple isn’t going to change is how much RAM their device will hold – rumours state that the company won’t add more GB to the one it already has.

A New Colour

iPhone 6s Rumour

The Rose Gold colour option will most likely be available with the new iPhone – in a strategy to keep in line with Apple’s Watch. Previous iterations hold Silver, Gold and Space Gray colours. I don’t know if I’ve ever told you, but I really really really hate the colour Gold – every single device that I saw that had that colour felt tacky and cheap to me. I can’t stand it, and it makes me think that you picked it just for attention.

A Much Improved Fingerprint Scanner

iPhone 6s Rumour

An improved fingerprint scanner will most likely lead to an early adoption of Apple Pay’s service – but, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, and let’s first see if it’s working properly.

The iPhone 6s, or 7, or Omega, or whatever else you want to call it, will most likely be a huge success exactly like the iPhone 6.

I bet that those who said that the company will decline after Steve Job’s death are eating their shoes now.
