Yes Suprisingly The IPhone 6s Did Survive There Was Only A Minimum Amount Of Scratches On The Back But Aside That The IPhone 6s Was In Perfect Condition.

Has Apple Missed A Trick With iMessage?!

Apple’s second biggest revenue generator after the iPhone is no longer the Mac. It is intangible services like iTunes, the App Store and Apple Pay, which grew to $6 billion or 20% of overall revenue in the quarter ending March 26.

This shift to services is important for Apple at a time when sales of the iPhone, iPad and iMac are slowing; the company reported its first-ever annual decline in iPhone sales this past quarter.

The good news is that Apple now has an active user base of 1 billion devices, an ocean of Apple faithful that it can encourage to continue spending on software and Internet services made by Apple.

Yet one crucial web business which Apple seems to have neglected is that of messaging.

Messaging is being touted as a new frontier for tech, even the next big platform after iOS and Android. Facebook has spent the last year turning its chat app Messenger into what it hopes will become a thriving marketplace for businesses, and a new source of ad sales and transaction fees for Facebook.

Apple hasn’t done the same with iMessage, even though its chat app is one of the the most popular in the world by virtue of having 1 billion users of its hand-held gadgets. Till now there’s been no need: the money from those hardware sales was enough to break records quarter after quarter

Can An Original Apple Box Protect A 9.7 Inch Rose Gold iPad Pro

The Second time the iPad was dropped in the box it was dropped front facing and there was only minor damage the glass was straight but the corner and the screen was popped up and you could see the glue trying to keep it stable but the iPad was resisting.

IPhone 7- Powered by Intel And Samsung

There has been a partnership between Apple and Intel and there has been a rumour that Apple may be powered by intel processors but let me assure you that is not the case. There has been another area where intel  hopes to win Apple's business  over with the new LTE  Motem Chip. There  will be more association for Samsung to provide future NAND Memory 2017. Anyway Apple signed a contract with Samsung providing over 100 million units of there OLED Panels starting  in 2017. Sources have been telling us that Apple is working on there cutting edge  new 16 GB Base Storage Option Chip not really  i hope it starts at 32GB the early least. Now there is a great possibility that it could be the real deal Apple will indeed be shipping a Smart connector feature in the back of the iPhone 7 Pro no mention on the standard  iPhone 7 just the higher end ones the smart connector could make way for the smart keyboard but i am not sure about that and the new iPhone 7 will have 2 new sensors on the top lf it.  There is a lot of talk of the iPhone 8 recently  which Apple will be releasing in 2017 which makes the iPhone 7 look bad and i have heard that it will be making a disappointing amount of sales.

Samsung seeks to sell Apple's NAND flash memory coated to prevent EMI

Samsung is attempting to add another spot for it in the Apple iPhone supply chain by offering Apple NAND flash memory that is protected from electro-magnetic interference (EMI). With real estate inside a handset shrinking as phones become thinner, some parts are practically right on top of each other which could cause interference.

Samsung is working with a company called Protec to coat the NAND modules using EMI shielding that will meet Apple's standards. The iPhone manufacturer is demanding that its suppliers use enough of a spray-on coating to prevent  EMI from being a problem. And there are other advantages. Using a spray-on coating would allow Samsung to shrink the size of the NAND module and make it cheaper.

The EMI shielded NAND modules will be available starting next year. A weakening of the memory market has been the impetus for Samsung's attempt to supply flash memory to Apple once again. But today's report says that Apple's current supplier, SK Hynix, is working on a EMI protected NAND module using the same coating that Samsung is going to employ. Which means that it might come down to pricing to determine who gets the business from Apple.

Samsung originally provided flash memory for the Apple iPhone, but was replaced in the Apple iPhone 5 by SK Hynix. Samsung has already lost the job of supplying Apple with the A10 chipset according to earlier reports. TSMC is rumored to be producing all of the A10 chips that will be used for the Apple iPhone 7 and Apple iPhone 7 Plus.

Samsung seeks to supply the Apple iPhone with NAND flash memory once again.

Apple is selling a seriously yellow iPad Pro for around $18,000

Though Apple’s products have gained a bit of color in the form of gold and rose gold options recently, the company isn’t known for providing particularly vibrant hues on its high-end devices.

Fortunately, the company has just designed a bright yellow (no, not gold) 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Unfortunately, you might have to pony up around $18,000 to buy it.

Apple designed the one-off iPad Pro for a charity auction at London’s Design Museum.

The Phillips auction house estimates the iPad will sell for anywhere from £10,000 to £15,000, or approximately $14,200 to $21,300.

For that price, at least you’re getting a nifty Apple Pencil with a leather holster and a blue leather Smart Cover; though for that price, I’d demand a Smart Keyboard instead.

This is just the most recent of Apple’s one-off limited edition products (we made a handy list here). The most expensive of these? A $977,000 Product (Red) Mac Pro. Also notable: $461,000 rose gold earbuds.

If you have that kind of cash, the colorful iPad Pro can be yours on April 28.

Online scams 'target Apple customers for richer pickings'

Cybercriminals are targeting people using Apple products as they are more likely to have disposable income, a security expert has warned.
On Monday, he reported a text message scam that tried to trick people into handing over account information.
Apple's support site warns customers not to enter details on spoof sites.
The text message scammers sent out alerts to victims' smartphones, claiming their Apple ID accounts were going to expire. The message encouraged people to visit a fake website where they were asked to enter their account information.
"They deliberately took advantage of people's trust in the Apple brand to steal information.
"Avoid clicking on links in emails because they might take you somewhere phishy. Instead go to the website directly and log in that way."
The spoof website looked identical to the real thing
The spoof website has since been blocked by web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.
Apple's support website says customers "should never enter Apple account information on any non-Apple website".
"In general, all account-related activities will take place in the iTunes application directly, not through a web browser," it explains.
On Tuesday, There was  report of a second scam disguised as an update to Adobe Flash, which encouraged victims to install a new version of the software.
He wrote in his blog: "The best advice for many users may be to ensure that you have configured Adobe Flash Player to automatically update itself.
Apple's Mac OS X operating system does have a safeguard, enabled by default, that prevents people installing software written by unknown developers. However, it appears the attackers were able to circumvent this.
"The fake Flash update attack appears to have used a stolen Apple Developer certificate, suggesting that some third-party Mac developers may be being sloppy about their own security and putting the rest of us at risk.
"The truth is that criminals will go where the money is.
"Apple products cost more than some of their competitors so it's likely that their customers have more disposable income. That's cash which the bad guys would like to have filling their pockets."

Can A Chocolate Chip Cookie Case Save An IPad From A 100 Foot Drop?

No it can't but when the cookie case was in the oven cooking with the iPad in the full screen turned black but when Gizmoslip took it out it was working completely fine.
Anyway after the 100 foot drop the iPad screen was completely shattered.
This Is because the cookie case wasn't protective for the iPad.
Also The edges came off and the iPad was non functional it was completely ruined!

Can Oobleck Save A 9.7 inch iPad Pro From A 100 Foot Drop

From watching Gizmoslip a popular technology YouTuber i found out that yes oobleck ( A Non Newtonian Fluid Which has properties of both liquids and solid.)
Fun Fact: If you slowly dip your hand in oobleck but if you squeeze it or punch it will feel like a solid.
Anyway Gizmoslip got the iPad Pro and put it in oobleck and it was a 100 foot drop  and yes it survived and somehow oobleck ended up in the ports. But it worked just fine.

The Spectre 13 is HP's attempt to out-design Apple (Unbelievable)

HP has been trying to make a laptop that will catch everyone's attention. Now, HP thinks it's nailed it.

Its newest laptop is called the Spectre 13 (or sometimes, simply, the HP Spectre), and — at just 10.4mm thick — it's supposed to be the thinnest any major laptop manufacturer has ever made. That's thinner than both Apple's MacBook (13.2mm thick) and Dell's XPS 13 (15.2mm thick). And while you might wonder how much difference a few millimeters can make, seeing the Spectre 13 in person makes it pretty clear: it's the difference between looking really thin and looking uniquely eye catching.

The Spectre 13 is in many ways HP's attempt at a modern MacBook Air. There are no gimmicks: no 4K display, no touchscreen, no detachable or twisting body. It's just trying to be a really solid, stylish laptop.

And that's what it appears to be. The Spectre 13 has a 13.3-inch, 1080p display, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage in its base model. More importantly, it includes either a Core i5 or a Core i7 processor. That's the type of processor you'd normally find in the MacBook Air or a typical ultrabook — laptops this size usually get Core M, which is slower, but doesn't get as good and allows for a smaller laptop.

ITS HINGES ARE MODELED AFTER CABINETRY
Making a laptop of this size work with a Core i processor meant dealing with heat and battery issues. HP says it handled the former using a heat pipe, which distributes heat away from the processor, as well as two fans that push heat out the back. For battery, HP made a thin unit that takes up most of the inside of the PC. It's supposed to deliver 9.5 hours of battery, which isn't top of the line — the MacBook Air does around 12 hours — but is still pretty good.
HP really wants the Spectre 13 to be seen as a premium laptop, and it both looks and feels like one. Most of its body is made from a dark gray aluminum (its bottom is lighter-weight carbon fiber), and there's a large bronze piece along the edge for contrast. It looks very cool sitting on its own — just be careful about touching the bronze: it picks up fingerprints in a way that you  could only dream of.

There are a few other interesting design flairs. HP is using a new, angular logo on the back of the machine that looks much sharper than the goofy circle logo you're used to. On the inside, the speaker grating is styled to look like repeating triangles, to either side of the keyboard. And the inside hinge is this curved, open arc. It's not something you'd typically see on a computer, and that makes it stand out in a nice way.

Despite being thinner, the Spectre 13 doesn't make some of the tradeoffs the MacBook does. There are three USB-C ports here (two of which support Thunderbolt) and a headphone jack, so there's room to plug accessories in and still keep the computer charged. The Spectre 13 also has a surprisingly deep keyboard. It's really clicky and natural to type on; I was able to adjust to it immediately while testing the computer during a briefing with HP. The trackpad, on the other hand, is a bit smaller than those on other HP laptops. It worked okay in my initial test, though it kept picking up unintentional input from my thumb while resting at the trackpad's edge. Since there's no touchscreen here, it'll be critical for the trackpad to work really well.

HP will begin taking preorders for the Spectre 13 on April 25th, with pricing starting at $1,169.99. It'll begin shipping sometime in May. Later that month, on May 22nd, a model will go on sale at Best Buy for $1,249.99. That's around the same time we'll be able to test the Spectre 13, to see whether it just looks like a premium laptop or if it can actually perform like one, too.

HOW LONG WILL IT STAY THE THINNEST?
Nash says that HP was only able to make the Spectre 13 by building on the work it did creating last year's Spectre x360 — itself a stylish laptop aimed at the same market segment. And he teases that HP will be able to improve on the Spectre 13's design using what it's learned by building this model over the last year.

That could mean keeping HP is on top in the battle for thinnest laptop!

How To Enable Night Shift And Low Power Mode At The Same Time!

When Apple released iOS 9.3.1, it removed the ability to keep Night Shift and Low Power Mode enabled simultaneously. The ability to turn on both features was already hidden and only possible by using Siri, but the iOS 9.3.1 update made it so that Siri would disable one of them before enabling another.

Step 1: Enable Low Power Mode via Settings → Battery

Step 2: Invoke Siri and ask to enable Night Shift. Siri will reply with the following: In order to turn on Night Shift, I’ll have to turn off Low Power Mode. Shall I continue?

Step 3: Reply with a “yes” and before the response is confirmed, press the sleep button on your iPhone. You should then hear Siri’s confirmation beep.

Step 4: Unlock your iPhone, and if you timed the sleep button press correctly, you should see Low Power Mode and Night Shift enabled at the same time

Apple says it won't sue FBI to find out how San Bernardino iPhone 5c was hacked

Saying that whatever method was used by the FBI will have a "short shelf life," Apple on Friday revealed it has no intention to sue the bureau in an effort to find out how it hacked the iPhone 5c used by a terrorist in California.

Comments on the case were given on background, without names, by Apple attorneys in a conference call with members of the media. Officials apparently said they are confident that the method used by the FBI will not be a security concern for most users.

Apple's attorneys said they did not know what method the FBI used to crack the iPhone 5c at the center of the San Bernardino terror investigation, but said that normal product development would eventually address whatever exploit was used.

FBI director James Comey revealed on Thursday that the hack used won't unlock anything newer than the iPhone 5c. Beginning with the iPhone 5s and Touch ID, Apple began implementing a secure hardware enclave that makes it much more difficult to crack into a passcode-locked iOS device.

IOS 9.3.1 Should You Upgrade

trusted? I’m not so sure…

Let’s take a look:

Who Is iOS 9.3 For?

As with previous iOS 9.x releases, iOS 9.3 is compatible with the iPhone 4S or later, iPad 2 or later, iPad mini or later, iPad Pro and 5th generation iPod touch or later. Users will be prompted to upgrade, but if you haven’t receive a notification this can be triggered manually by navigating to Settings > General > Software Update

The Deal Breaker

Right now there is no iOS 9.3.1 jailbreak. In fact the Pangu and TaiG teams haven’t managed to jailbreak anything since iOS 9.1 in October so owners of jailbroken iPhones, iPads and iPod touches could be in for a long wait.

So What Do You Get?

Unsurprisingly iOS 9.3.1 claims to be all about one thing: fixing the Universal Links bug which impacts web surfing.

16 Hidden Apple TV Features You Should Know

Here's how to navigate the new and old Apple TV, with some special tricks for the updated model.
Use Any Remote
Lost the remote to your Apple TV? You can use any third-party one with just a little programming. Go to Settings > General > Remotes > Learn Remote. Choose a setting or button that doesn't control another device, and then select Start. You'll then see the six familiar buttons of the Apple Remote, which you can map to your new remote by pressing and holding each button until the blue progress bar is done.
Here's how to navigate the new and old Apple TV, with some special tricks for the updated model.
Until last fall, Apple TV had not been updated in three years, and it showed. In that time, streaming devices from rivals like Roku and Google took over the media streamer space. But with its fourth-gen Apple TV, Cupertino is ready to do battle.
The remote is one of the biggest changes to Apple TV; it adds voice control from Siri and a touchpad, not to mention an accelerometer and gyroscope inside for gameplay.
Apps are really where it's at, though. The App Store has finally arrived on Apple TV via the new tvOS. There are, of course, streaming services like Netflix and Hulu; networks including CBS, Fox, HBO, NBC, and PBS; and original programming like the M2M fashion channel. More streaming options are reportedly in the works, though live TV is apparently on hold for now.
Your old Apple TV is not obsolete, though. Apple still sells it for $69, while the new one will set you back $149 (32GB) or $199 (64GB).

Phone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 7 Pro: How Many Models Will Apple Release?

The iPhone 7 remains the biggest and most important smartphone in the world, but for the first time in many years Apple’s plans regarding its flagship device are somewhat up in the air. Apple has announced publicly that it expects that it will sell less iPhone units in 2016 than last year; the first time this has occurred since the original iPhone was introduced back in 2007. And there have been a wide variety of reports hinting at multiple iPhone units, currently with significantly diverging specifications.

So what can we expect from the iPhone range in this calendar year? How many models will Apple ultimately release? And what factors will the consumer electronics giant take into consideration?

iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus

Apple share price troubles

The first thing to say on this subject is that although Apple remains a massively powerful and valuable player in the technologies marketplace, its luster has dimmed ever so slightly over the last few months. With Apple itself admitting that there may be sub-par sales of the iPhone in 2016, coupled with a lukewarm response from consumers for other devices, this ensured a perfect storm in which the financial value of the company would almost inevitably be downgraded.

And Apple stock fell over 25 percent from its peak in August 2015 over the next six months, as investors became increasingly skeptical about the ability of the company to deliver increased profitability. This slump ended a period of relentless positivity and success for Apple, in which the company became the world’s first $700 billion market capitalized corporation. Its market cap has since slid to just over $600 million, but there is good news Apple to celebrate as well.

The company’s share price has already recovered appreciably in 2016, with significant growth being experienced between February and April. Possibly the major factor in this was the notion that the stock was significantly undervalued, and Apple shares have thus once more broken through the psychologically important $100 barrier.

It is notable that the city has responded very well to Apple’s promises to create new revenue streams; something that the consumer electronics behemoth first pledged to do back at the start of 2014. Apple has perhaps not been hugely innovative in its attempts to produce new and successful products, but it has delivered a smartwatch, new models of the iPhone range, and iPad tablets as well. The California-based corporation has also shored up its laptop and desktop computing range, and there seems to be more stability in the Apple camp now.

iPhone 7 Pro release mooted

So the suggestion from Apple analysts that the Cupertino-based corporation could release an iPhone 7 Pro during 2016 do seem to be entirely logical. This would effectively be a new product niche and potential revenue stream for the corporation, and thus Apple would be fulfilling something that could positively impact upon the valuation and stock position of the company.

Another indicator for the future of the iPhone 7 is the fact that Apple recently unveiled a new 9.7-inch iPad Pro. This was the second iPad Pro unit released by Apple, and one that is intended to appeal to both consumers and the business community. It seems that Apple is placing a particular emphasis on this ‘Pro’ branding, and thus the iPhone 7 could follow with its first ever Pro release later this year.

This would point to the fact that Apple will indeed release three models of the iPhone 7, with the standard smartphone and phablet both certain to be retained. And there are other factors which also support this notion, most obviously the diversification of the smartphone marketplace. Apple has perhaps been affected slightly less in this regard than its great competitor Samsung, but the market-leader must still pay close attention to the prevailing conditions.

The iPhone 7 will be released into a marketplace in which there are numerous affordable Android alternatives, with some of these lesser-known brands beginning to gain market and consumer recognition. This was perfectly exemplified by the recent release of the Huawei P9; the latest flagship from the Chinese Corporation.

Huawei competitor

Whereas once upon a time such smartphones would be relatively simplistic compare it to the iPhone, and certainly not a significant threat to Apple, the P9 is certainly worth paying heed to. In particular, this new mobile contender features dual-camera technology, something that has been linked with the rumored iPhone 7 Pro.

It seems in such a context and climate that there is pressure on Apple to diversify its product range as much as possible, in order to appeal to as many market demographics as is feasible. KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that Apple will indeed release an iPhone 7 Pro alongside the usual iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models, and that the way Apple will mark this new model out from the other iPhone 7 devices is via dual-lens technology.

So it does seem extremely likely that Apple will release three iPhone 7 models before 2016 is out, to stand alongside the already announced iPhone 6C. But while consumers may be wondering what is coming in the existing calendar year, Apple is already making plans for next year’s iPhone 7S.

The latest reports indicate that Apple is planning to begin using AMOLED displays in its 2017 range of smartphones, which would likely begin with the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus. This suggests that the California-based corporation will stick with LCD technology for the forthcoming iPhone 7, but that it will finally ditch the battery-draining tech next year.

And it seems that Sharp will play a major role in the delivery of this technology, particularly as Foxconn has just acquired a controlling stake in the company. The relationship between Foxconn and Apple is well established, and this should mean that Sharp manufactures AMOLED screens for usage in the iPhone 7S during 2017.

The future for the iPhone is certainly intriguing, and the smart money is on three iPhone 7 units seeing the light of day this year.

Latest Apple Watch News!

Starting with iOS 9.3, third-party app developers can tap into Apple Watch activity data like move and stand goal progress as well as exercise duration. Developer David Smith has used that new capability to create an alternative dashboard to Apple’s Activity app on iPhone and Apple Watch. The new app is called Activity++ (following Pedometer++ and Sleep++) and it’s out for iPhone and Apple Watch today. Here’s what it offers:

First, there’s a design difference between the Apple Watch complication (watch face widget) set of Apple’s Activity and David Smith’s Activity++ apps.

Apple originally used monochromatic circles for the Activity ring complication for the Utility watch face with watchOS 1, then changed to a colorful Activity ring which is easier to decipher but aesthetically less neutral with watchOS 2. Apple doesn’t offer a way to revert to the monochromatic Activity complication with watchOS 2 and the Utility face (you have to use the Simple watch face for monochrome), so Activity++ addresses that by using a monochromatic complication. You can easily tell the two apart, too, as Activity++ relies on bars versus circles. Just note that top the bar is Move, center bar is Exercise, and bottom bar is Stand and you’ll be rewarded with three solid stripes at the end of the day which looks pretty cool.

Similarly you’ll notice that the language is different and potentially clearer on the large Activity++ complication for the Modular watch face compared to Apple’s Activity complication: David Smith’s reads MOVE, EXERCISE, and STAND; Apple’s reads CAL, MIN, and HOUR for the same goals. The Activity++ glance, which you can access with a swipe up from the watch face, combines graphical and numerical visuals to your Activity data which is appealing for data-focused users.

Activity++

Back on the iPhone, Activity++ features an alternative dashboard that focuses on daily move, exercise, and stand goal progress. The dashboard will show you each day plus how many calories you burned, how many minutes you exercised, and how many different hours you stood and moved around for at least one minute; streaks for each metric are celebrated by being boxed together and labeled with the number of days it continued.

You can tap any day of the week to view a more detailed graph of each day. This features a slick animation, and opening one graph doesn’t close other graphs so you can compare multiple days.

There’s no landscape view even on the Plus-sized iPhones, though, and like Apple’s Activity app, there’s no 3D Touch options on 6s-series iPhones. You can, however, long-press on any date and jump to that specific date on your calendar to see context about what you scheduled for that day. Similarly, a Notification Center widget would make Activity++ stand out further from Apple’s Activity app, but neither have widgets yet (although I’d bet Activity++ would gain it first).

If you’re looking for insights into your activity behaviors, Activity++ features a statistics view which presents historical bests and a general overview of how you’ve been doing on your move, stand, and exercise goals.

Finally, Activity++ celebrates daily goal completions rather than only awarding 7-day streaks. By default, Activity++ will even allow you to miss one day in between activities to accommodate a rest period without breaking a streak. When you meet a daily activity goal, Activity++ will even explode confetti within the app. The idea here is that it’s okay to take a break during the week and have an off day or alternate workout days, and your achievements should still be celebrated, which is smart.

Overall, the app is a neat, alternative dashboard to Apple’s Activity app if you use the Apple Watch to track your fitness data. I’m personally a big fan of Apple’s Activity app design, but Activity++ has a useful approach to goals and streaks that will be more encouraging and practical for a lot of people.

Activity++ on the Apple Watch does face some noticeable speed issues like most Apple Watch apps (which could be remedied with faster hardware in the future)

FBI to Keep Pushing for Court Order Forcing Apple to Unlock iPhone in N.Y. Case (Updated)

Like it's recent high profile stand off with  the FBI (Federal Bereau Of Investigation) over unlocking the passcode-protected iPhone 5c used by San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook, Apple has said it "would be impossible" for the company to access data on a locked iPhone running iOS 8 or later without creating a modified software version, which it refuses to do.

In late February, U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein ruled that the FBI lacked the legal authority to force Apple to bypass the iPhone's passcode, and that the prosecution's use of the 1789 All Writs Act was an unconstitutional over reach.

The U.S. Justice Department formally appealed the decision with U.S. District Judge Margo Brodie in early March in an effort to overturn Orenstein's ruling, and today's brief court filing reiterates that the FBI will not back down from its request without a fight.

While the FBI dropped its San Bernardino case with Apple after enlisting a private party to unlock the shooter's iPhone 5c.

Apple remains committed to device encryption and will continue fighting this legal matter.

Android Beats Apple, Microsoft's Android Ambitions, S7 Edge Saves Samsung

Taking a look back at seven days of news across the Android world, this week’s Android Circuit includes the Chinese smartphone market moving towards Android, how the Galaxy S7 is saving Samsung, the rise of Marshmallow, Google’s monthly update of bug fixes and patches, BlackBerry’s disappointing sales, OnePlus’s OxygenOS update, Microsoft’s improvements to Cortana for Android, and some new icons from Google Play.

Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many things that have happened around Android in the last week

The last three months have seen Android gain ground on Apple in the crucial Chinese market (reports Kantar Worldpanel’s data). iOS has seen no growth in its share over the Chinese New Year period, and year-on-year Apple has lost 3.2% share. That has moved over to Android which is up 3.4% and now represents 76.4% of a vital growth market.
This Is Unbelievable!

Your Apple Watch can now tell if you’re happy or sad from how you speak to it

Have you ever wondered if your Apple Watch really cares about your feelings? Well, it doesn’t but this app will help it understand how you’re feeling from how you talk.

EmoWatch, from Tokyo-based Smartmedical, is an app for the Apple Watch that identifies and tracks users’ emotions through their voice. Vocal emotion-recognition isn’t new but the company claims it’s the first time that it is being done through the Apple Watch.

The app tracks and charts the various mental states and moods of its users over time so you can be aware of your patterns, which is beneficial.

EmoWatch will work with any language because it’s only detecting the characteristics of what the user says, not the meaning.

While it’s simplistic right now, the app is certainly useful for anyone who wishes to have an easy way to track their moods.

The company has also made its Empath API openly available for any developers who are interested in testing out vocal emotion-recognition.

Is The iPhone SE Ready To Become A Hit?

There have been many articles from “market research” shops talking about how the Apple AAPL -0.93% iPhone SE is  worthless and that its market share on opening weekend was this, that or the other.

However, checks carried out by AppleInsider showed that virtually every model from all carriers are already out of stock and that as of yesterday, the quickest a customer can get his/her hands on the new iPhone SE would be next week on April, 12, 2016.  Certain models are not available until April 20, 2016.

According to AppleInsider, “though it didn’t have the hype of a new next-generation iPhone launch, the revamped 4-inch iPhone SE continues to see demand outstrip Apple’s available supply, with most stores completely out of stock and new orders advertised not to ship for a few weeks.”

The site reports that their checks show that demand is just not outstripping supple domestically here at home but also overseas as well. 

Of course it’s not all good news for Apple today. BTIG lowered its price target on Apple AAPL -0.93% this morning from $141 per share to $130 per share citing the company’s longer upgrade cycles.

Despite the lowered price target by BTIG, if the iPhone SE is selling as well as AppleInsider implies, expect Apple numbers for the June quarter (Apple FQ3:16) to actually go up for a change post earnings at the end of the month.

Apple filed a patent for a MacBook keyboard without keys

The touch-sensitive trackpad on Apple's MacBook computers is already pretty large, but can you imagine a MacBook which replaces the entire keyboard with one giant touchpad?

Apple can. In the patent, the company proposes a "force-sensitive input structure for an electronic device," a customizable, clean, flat surface that reacts to where you press.

Apple refers to this type of input structure as "zero-travel," meaning there would be no keys or surfaces that move (at least not noticeably) when you press them. The surface would, however, sense the force of your fingers and return haptic feedback as you type.

The biggest advantage of such an input method would be configurability — a user could set aside portions of the slate for a numeric keypad, multiple trackpads, or a special set of keys (see one possibility in the image below

Following release of iOS 9.3 & 9.3.1, Apple stops signing iOS 9.2.1

As it generally does following the release of a new version of iOS, Apple this evening has stopped signing iOS 9.2.1 for all devices. This change comes two weeks after Apple released iOS 9.3 to the public and less than a week after the release of iOS 9.3.1, which squashed a handful of bugs that plagued the initial version.

Because Apple has stopped signing iOS 9.2.1, users will no longer be able to downgrade to the operating system after updating to iOS 9.3 or iOS 9.3.1. This means that once you update, you’re permanently committed to the new version. Although theoretically, if you update to iOS 9.3.1 and encounter issues, you can still downgrade to iOS 9.3 for the time being.

This change may be a disappointment to users who have been experiencing issues with iOS 9.3. There have been a handful of bugs associated with Apple’s latest release, although many have been fixed with iOS 9.3.1. For instance, there was an odd bug that caused crashing when users would tap links in Safari and other apps. Some Sprint users were also unable to connect LTE following the update, although Sprint says that issue has now been resolved. Finally, users of older iOS devices were affected by a bug that would prevent them from being able to complete the update. Apple has since fixed that issue too, though.

Generally, Apple stops signing older iOS releases to prevent users from downgrading and being vulnerable to security holes that have since been patched. This generally affects jailbreak users the most, but there was never a jailbreak available for iOS 9.2.1.

It’s unclear how much longer Apple will be signing iOS 9.3, so if you’re having issues with iOS 9.3.1, we’d recommend downgrading sooner rather than later to prevent Apple from closing that signing window as well.

Apple just recently  has also made several server-side fixes to a pair of bugs relating to Siri.

IPhone SE Suddenly Harder To Find!

Apple's new iPhone SE may be a hotter product than initially thought.

Released on March 31, the 4-inch-screened iPhone is facing limited availability at Apple stores in major markets across the US, according to a check by blog site AppleInsider. Almost all models across all carriers are out of stock at Apple's retail outlets. In-store pickup is also unavailable for virtually every model, AppleInsider said.

A check by CNET of stores in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and other major US cities also found in-store pickup unavailable at almost all locations.

Ordering the iPhone SE through Apple's online store will require you to wait awhile for delivery. That includes nearly all models across the four major carriers, in any of the four colors and with either 16 gigabytes or 64 gigabytes of storage. Pay $10 for expedited shipping, and the phone won't arrive for at least two weeks. Opt for free shipping, and you'll wait anywhere from two and a half weeks to three weeks.

Apple took a calculated risk releasing a 4-inch phone at a time when many consumers are craving big-screened models. The company is aiming the SE at people who haven't upgraded for several generations of the iPhone, as well as at consumers who prefer a smaller phone and a lower price tag. Apple needs a win because sales growth has slowed for the iPhone, the largest piece of its revenue pie.

The limited availability of the new phone could be due to heavy consumer demand, a lack of sufficient inventory or a combination of the two.

Apple's Mac Lineups to See Significant Graphics Upgrades as New GPU Launches Loom

Major graphics processing providers AMD and Nvidia are set to unveil new GPU products this year featuring Global Foundries' 14 nm FinFET and TSMC's 16 nm FinFET Plus processor nodes, respectively, allowing for significant improvements in graphics performance.

AMD's "Polaris" and Nvidia's "Pascal" architectures both utilize the latest FinFET silicon processes and will represent the first GPU process node change since 28 nm GPUs debuted in 2011. Both AMD and Nvidia skipped the intermediate 20 nm node, elongating the typical release cycle of consumer graphics processors.

IMac Retina Display
While TSMC had traditionally provided multiple process offerings within a node, including one specifically tailored to higher power applications such as GPUs, the company found that the traditional planar geometries of its 20 nm node gave the firm less differentiation with its normal set of tweaks, rendering it a poor candidate for power hungry GPUs.

In a statement released earlier this year, AMD claimed that the new 14 nm Polaris GPUs will offer over double the performance per watt of their 28 nm predecessors. This news also confirmed AMD's use of Global Foundries' 14 nm FinFET process, rather than TSMC's 16 nm process, which Nvidia will use. While AMD confirmed the use of TSMC for its higher power product offerings, any products developed from that process node would be destined for the Mac Pro only, as Apple has traditionally used mobile GPUs for its notebook and iMac product lines.

Polaris
The new FinFET process nodes promise a big performance jump for AMD's Polaris architecture

Product launches for these new GPUs are expected to occur around the summer timeframe. While Nvidia introduced its massive new Tesla P100 graphics card just this week, one rumor pegs the broader launch of the company's GeForce Pascal line around the time of Computex, which takes place from May 31 to June 4.

In addition to the new process nodes, both new architectures are expected to utilize a variety of new high-speed memories such as GDDR5x and HBM2, which promise improved memory bandwidth and memory size, in HBM2's case. AMD has already previously successfully launched a product utilizing a new 3DIC memory technology with their debut of the "Fury" line in 2015.

Though GPU rumor cycles tend to focus on desktop products, AMD's CEO stated that both desktops and laptops featuring the new Polaris GPUs are expected to launch before the back to school season. Apple has traditionally alternated between GPU offerings from both AMD and Nvidia when it comes to its product lines, with AMD owning the wins for the latest iterations of both the 27-inch iMac and MacBook Pro lines.

The MacBook Pro in particular is due for an update, and rumors have suggested new models could arrive at WWDC in June, but it is unclear whether Apple would be able to feature the upcoming GPUs within that timeframe. Apple has sometimes been very quick to incorporate the latest technology from its partners, but other times as waited quite some time before upgrading. Updates for the 27-inch iMac are less imminent, as the line was just upgraded to Intel's latest Skylake processors in.

Google just made Android Studio 2.0 stable enough to shed its beta tag

Android Studio — Google’s preferred IDE for developing Android apps — is now out of beta.

There are no major improvements to the IDE; Google just made it stable enough to take the ‘beta’ tag off of it.

It still has a lot under the hood developers should be excited about, though. Android Studio’s emulator is lightning fast, and shows you the effect changes to your code will have on the end product in real-time.

There’s also the Cloud Test Lab, which lets developers test their code on a variety of cloud-based emulators that mimic actual Android hardware. You can choose different devices along with various configurations to make sure apps run as they should.

For Android developers, Android Studio is basically the best IDE there is. It ties into Google Play and search (via app indexing) intrinsically, leaving little to do but write the actual code (which may someday be Swift).

Apple's aging Mac Pro is falling way behind Windows rivals

Apple's Mac Pro is aging fast, especially with screaming fast Windows desktops being announced in recent weeks.

Introduced in 2013, the Mac Pro was a top-of-the-line desktop at that time. It looked exquisite in its sleek cylindrical design, and it sported new features like Thunderbolt 2 ports, plus the latest CPUs, GPUs and NVMe storage.

More importantly, it was a signal that Apple had not abandoned the professional computing market. The latest Mac Pro was a relief to those clamoring for an upgrade from an older version of the computer, which last received a face-lift in 2010.

But the Mac Pro is again falling behind the competition, with powerful new workstations from Lenovo, Dell and HP carrying superior technology. The PC companies are waging an active campaign to tempt Mac Pro users, many of them creative professionals, to move over to Windows PCs with better CPUs, GPUs, and memory.

The new Windows desktops are targeted at video editing, professional applications and the creation of virtual reality content for headsets like Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

Among the powerful new Windows machines are HP's new Z Workstations. Starting at US $4,363, the Z Workstations announced this week can be configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 chips, which have up to 22 cores. Two Nvidia Quadro M6000 GPUs in an SLI (scalable link interface) configuration can provide super-fast graphics performance. The desktop supports DDR4 memory, and there are multiple slots for SATA, SAS (serial-attached SCSI) and NVMe (non-volatile memory) SSD storage.

New Dell Precision workstations, announced last week, can also support the latest 22-core Xeon E5-2600 v4 chips, based on the Broadwell architecture and also introduced last week.

By comparison, the Mac Pro -- which starts at $2,999 -- supports up to 12-core Intel Xeon E5 chips based on the older Ivy Bridge microarchitecture, which started shipping in the third quarter of 2013. The desktop has older AMD FirePro GPU models and DDR3 memory. The Thunderbolt 2 ports are also outdated, and Thunderbolt 3 is two times faster, with its 40Gbps data transfer rate.

Slightly bigger than its Galaxy S6 siblings, the 5.7” S6 edge+ features the same attention-grabbing styling and unique, metal and curved glass construction – proof, if proof be needed, that good looks really do run in the family.

With 5-megapixel front and 16-megapixel back cameras that can launch in just 0.7 seconds, capturing moments the moment they happen is as simple as point, click, snap. And thanks to an f1.9 aperture, even low light party shots will look as amazing as you remember.

iPhone 7 To Miss Out On Apple's Best Camera?

It’s looking increasingly likely that fans of smaller iPhones may miss out on Apple AAPL -2.16%’s best camera technology when the next major upgrades hit the stores.

Ultra-prolific and, so far, highly reliable leaker has issued another of his research notes, which usually contain fairly accurate predictions of what to expect in forthcoming Apple products, and latest installment could spell bad news for iPhone photography fans – unless they’re also fans of phablets.

Rewinding back to January of this year Sources have  respected analyst for KGI Securities, stated that he expected Apple to release three versions of the iPhone 7 this year, only the largest of which would feature a dual-lens camera system featuring technology obtained from Apple’s purchase of LinX Imaging.

They Have Been reaffirmed this claim in his latest research note which states that the new, dual-camera technology is set to appear only in a 5.5inch iPhone 7 Plus-style device, leaving the regular-size iPhone 7 far behind in its photographic capabilities.

Is Apple FINALLY going to let iPhone users delete its default apps from their home screens?

Apple may finally be planning to introduce the one thing customers have been asking for since the early days of the iPhone.

Hidden data in iTunes suggest that the next version of iOS could let people hide the apps that come pre-installed on iPhones and iPads.

These include Stocks, Game Center, Tips, Calendar, Videos, Voice Memos, Reminders, iBooks, Apple Watch, Notes, News and more.

Apple doesn't let users delete these apps, so most people end up creating a folder on their home screen to hide them away.
The code suggests that apps will be hidden rather than deleted. That means they will still take up space in your phone's storage - just not on your home screen.

Cook has previously said that allowing users to delete apps altogether could cause issues elsewhere on the phone, and render the devices unusable.

Secret Trick That Possibly Might Work to Gain More Storage (IPhone's Only)

Go to Videos on your iPhone, and hit ‘Store’
2. Search for a very big movie – Like  Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition) at 8.2GB
3. Hit ‘Rent’
4. Your iPhone will pop-up with a message saying you don’t have enough storage, with an option to go to settings. Click that, and magically you will get some storage back.

Apple's Promoted Twitter Account

Apple just recently launched a new Twitter account for Apple News, giving its Apple News team a way to promote stories and content on the social network. Created last year but activated today, the Apple News Twitter account will be used to share "top stories" and "great reads" curated by Apple News editors in the United States.

Car Play

CarPlay, at its core, is Apple's way of bringing iOS to in-car infotainment systems and dashboards. It's designed to display information from the iPhone on a car's built-in display, giving drivers a safe way to make phone calls, send text messages, listen to music, and access Maps -- all of the things a driver might want to do with an iPhone in a car.

When connected to an in-dash system via the iPhone's Lightning port, CarPlay gives the user in-car access to information stored on the iPhone, like contacts for phone calls and messages, music playlists in apps, previous Maps searches, calendar events, and more. Because CarPlay draws its information from the iPhone, there's virtually no setup involved.

Many automobile manufacturers are building CarPlay support into cars that are set to be released in late 2015 and 2016, but there's also a way to get CarPlay in existing vehicles -- some aftermarket in-dash systems from companies like Pioneer, Kenwood, and Alpine are compatible with CarPlay and are readily available.

CarPlay is designed to be hands-free, introducing as little driver distraction as possible, and for that reason, it is voice-based and heavily reliant on Siri. Siri, for example, is used to perform a range of actions in the car, such as placing phone calls, getting directions, sending text messages, and more.

carplayhero

There are also physical controls in the form of buttons and knobs, but these controls vary from vehicle to vehicle. Systems with touch screens are able to accommodate touch-based input as well, and special adapters can enhance in-car integration of aftermarket CarPlay solutions.

iOS already offers a consistent Apple experience across tablets and smartphones, but with CarPlay, that's also extended to the car in an easy-to-use format that people are already familiar with.

carplaycontroloptions

Because CarPlay is a rather ambitious effort that requires the cooperation of automobile makers and third-party hardware companies, it has been slow to get off the ground, but we should see a whole range of new CarPlay-enabled vehicles over the next few years.

 

CarPlay Features

The CarPlay interface is designed to be immediately familiar to anyone who has used iOS on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Connecting an iPhone to CarPlay through a Lightning cable brings up an iOS-style interface on the in-car display that offers a home screen complete with apps like Maps, Phone, Messages, Music, Podcasts, and several third-party offerings.

Apps are accessed via touch screen, through Siri, or through various in-car controls that might be located on the steering wheel or other location depending on the car manufacturer. On aftermarket offerings from companies like Pioneer and Alpine, physical controls are limited to buttons on the in-dash system unless special adapters are installed.

Though apps can be launched through touch-based controls, actions like sending a text message, making a phone call, or changing a music track are largely conducted through Siri. There is no on-screen keyboard, for example, so text messages are transcribed by voice much as they are when using dictation to send messages on an iPhone.

iPhone 7

Apple won't release its next-generation iPhone until the fall of 2016, so there are still several months of development ahead. For the current time, Apple's flagship iPhones are the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus, released to the public in September of 2015.

Though it will be several months before the new iPhone launches, rumors about the device started trickling out in January of 2016. We've already gleaned many details about the upcoming iPhone, giving us some information on what to expect when it launches.

Since the 3GS launched in 2009, Apple has used an alternating "S" naming formula to mark years where the iPhone does not receive a major redesign, saving its numbered upgrades for years where design changes are introduced. Releases have been as follows:

2007 - iPhone
2008 - iPhone 3G
2009 - iPhone 3GS
2010 - iPhone 4 (new design)
2011 - iPhone 4s
2012 - iPhone 5 (new design)
2013 - iPhone 5s
2014 - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (new design)
2015 - iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus

The next-generation iPhone is expected to be called the iPhone 7. 2015 marked an "S" iPhone upgrade year that introduced new features such as an improved camera and a better processor, but 2016 will bring an even-year upgrade that will include an all-new iPhone design in addition to new features.

Apple will continue releasing two versions of each iPhone, so we can expect to see an iPhone 7 and an iPhone 7 Plus in 2016. Apple is said to be planning to stick to the 4.7- and 5.5-inch screen sizes it first introduced with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

Apple is said to be working on finalizing the iPhone 7's body so we don't know exactly what it will look like, but multiple rumors suggest it continues to use a design similar to the design of the iPhone 6s. It is said to have the same general shape, but it is thinner and may have a camera that protrudes less (though rumors currently disagree on this point). Antenna bands across the back of the device have been removed, but are expected to remain at the top, bottom, and sides of the iPhone.

Mockup of iPhone 7 case showing possible flush rear camera and no antenna bands across rear.
Apple is rumored to be aiming to make the iPhone 7 nearly as thin as the 6.1mm iPod touch, mainly through the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack and the implementation of a thinner Lightning port. Eliminating the headphone jack will give Apple more internal space for other components, and Apple will also keep the device slim with the continued use of in-cell panels and TFT-LCD display technology. Apple may replace the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 with a second speaker for stereo audio.

With no headphone jack, wired headphones will connect to the iPhone 7 using its Lightning port and Bluetooth headphones will connect wirelessly. Apple is rumored to be working on Lightning-equipped EarPods to sell alongside the iPhone 7.

An image of a device said to be the iPhone 7 Plus has surfaced depicting a Smart Connector on the back of the shell, suggesting that is another potential feature, but it is not yet clear what it would be used for.

Internal specs for the iPhone 7 aren't yet known, but we can speculate Apple will continue on its path of introducing more powerful, efficient devices that grow thinner with each design iteration. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are expected to include next-generation A10 processors manufactured by TSMC.

There are rumored to be some distinguishing features between the iPhone 7 and the larger-screened iPhone 7 Plus. The iPhone 7 may ship with 2GB RAM, while the iPhone 7 Plus could include 3GB RAM, and there is said to be a different camera system that uses two cameras instead of one. The iPhone 7 will likely continue to use a standard single-lens camera as the dual lens camera is said to be exclusive to the 5.5-inch iPhone.

According to rumors, Apple may be planning to introduce two versions of the iPhone 7 Plus -- one with a single lens like the iPhone 7 and a second with a dual-lens camera system that offers DSLR-like image quality with 2-3x optical zoom and improved performance in low light conditions.

 

It features a design that's similar in shape to the iPhone 6s, but without rear antenna bands. It has a protruding, pill-shaped camera enclosure that includes two cameras inside, as is rumored for the larger-screened device, along with a round flash.

It also depicts a Smart Connector on the back of the iPhone, which is an unusual inclusion. There's a Smart Connector on the iPad Pro for connecting accessories, but it is unclear how a similar feature would be used on iPhones.

Apple Seeds First Beta of iOS 9.3.2 to Developers With Bug Fixes and Improvements

Apple just recently  seeded the first beta of an upcoming iOS 9.3.2 update to developers for testing purposes, just over two weeks after the public release of iOS 9.3. iOS 9.3, the third major update to iOS 9, introduced Night Shift mode and other feature improvements. iOS 9.3.2 also comes a week after the release of iOS 9.3.1, a bug fix update that addressed an issue causing Safari and other apps to crash after a web link was tapped.

The iOS 9.3.2 beta, build 13F51a, is available for download immediately from the Apple Developer Center and may be made available to public beta testers later this week.

We don't know what changes iOS 9.3.2 will bring to iOS 9, but according to its release notes, it focuses on under-the-hood performance improvements and fixes for bugs that have been discovered since the release of iOS 9.3. We will update this post with any changes that are found in the new beta.

Apple Seeds First watchOS 2.2.1 Beta to Developers

Apple just  recently  seeded the first version of an upcoming watchOS 2.2.1 update to developers, just over two weeks after releasing watchOS 2.2, a significant watchOS 2 update that introduced new features like multi-watch support for iPhones and Maps improvements.

The 2.2.1 beta can be downloaded through the dedicated Apple Watch app on an iPhone by going to General --> Software update. To install the update, the Apple Watch must have 50 percent battery, it must be placed on the Apple Watch charger, and it must be in range of the iPhone.

It's not yet clear what is included in watchOS 2.2.1, but Apple's release notes say it includes bug fixes and performance improvements, likely for issues discovered since the release of watchOS 2.2. We'll update this post with any new changes that are discovered in the watchOS 2.2.1 beta.

HP Beats Apple?!

HP on Thursday announced the latest iteration of its top-of-the-line Spectre notebooks, an ambitious bid to wrest the title of "world's thinnest laptop" away from Apple.
The new Spectre, with its 13.3-in diagonal size and 2.45 lbs weight, boasts a thickness of just 10.4mm.
"It's as thick as a AAA battery," notes tech site Mashable.
In contrast, Apple's 12-in, 2.45 lbs Retina MacBook has a thickness of 12.1mm.

With its copper highlights and matte black finish, the Spectre is clearly positioned as a luxury item with an almost bespoke vibe, reminiscent of a handmade watch.
"It's the thinnest notebook we've ever made," HP added.
The Spectre boasts a full HD IPS display, a sixth-gen Core i5 or i7 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 512GB PCIe solid-state drive. It has a claimed battery life of just under 10 hours.
Also, unlike the Apple MacBook, the Spectre boasts three USB-C connectors for power and peripherals

Report: Senate members being briefed by FBI on method used to unlock San Bernardino iPhone 5c

Just over a week ago, the FBI revealed that it had successfully unlocked the iPhone 5c used by one of the San Bernardino gunmen without the help of Apple. To this day, the FBI has not publicly disclosed the method it used to gain access, and it’s unclear if it ever will. The National Journal, however, reports today that the FBI has been briefing members of the Senate on how it was able to gain access to the locked iPhone.

Apple Campus 2 to Feature Custom Designed 18-Foot Tables Inside 'Collaborative Pods'

Apple Campus 2 has been designed from the ground up to meet Apple's exacting specifications, and the same careful attention is also being applied to the interior of the building, including the furniture. In a recent visit to the Apple Campus, design-focused site Design Milk was given a small tidbit of information regarding one element of the interior design of Apple Campus 2 -- the tables.

Apple is having 500 custom white oak tables created for Apple Campus 2, each one measuring in at 18-feet long, 4-feet wide, and 660 pounds. The tables are being designed by Dutch company Arco from a single sheet of wood with skateboard-style rounded edges and a seamless surface.

The closest approximation that popped into my head was an enormous naked wood skate deck designed for a colossus Jony Ive. And if the length of all 500 tables inside Apple Campus 2 were combined, it would roughly equal the distance of the National Mall in Washington, DC.

These extra large Pod Island Tables by Arco are constructed from continuous sheets of solid Spesshart white oak sourced from the fairytale forests of Germany. There are no visible seams because of the company's innovative manufacturing technique, which essentially peels away continuous single thin sheets of wood, which is then layered into a table top.
Apple plans to use the tables inside of open area "pods" located on each floor of the main ring-shaped building. The layout is designed to encourage "accidental mingling" between employees by providing an open workspace that "brings people together organically," a concept Design Milk says originated from the time Steve Jobs spent at Pixar.

In an interview with Arco director Jorre Van Ast, Design Milk gleaned some details about what it was like designing a piece for Apple. Apple's team of designers and Foster + Partners were looking for something built to their exact specifications, and van Ast describes the collaboration as "very intense and constructive."
During a meeting to inspect the first prototype together with Apple and Foster+Partners, the question was raised: 'but what if it was made out of a single piece? Can you achieve it?' They challenged us to push the boundaries of our craft, we got excited ourselves as well and started to investigate how to overcome the limitations inherent to the way we produce tables--not just here at Arco but for the entire furniture industry including our partners. Design, machinery, logistics, finding the right material... it all had to be reconsidered.
When completed, the tables, along with 300 additional tables and 200 benches, will be shipped to Apple in Cupertino and installed at Apple Campus 2 using cranes and dollies. Apple's second campus is still under construction, but much of the main ring-shaped building has been completed, as has work on several auxiliary buildings like an auditorium and a fitness center. Apple plans to finish construction at Apple Campus 2 by the end of 2016, with employees moving into the space starting in 2017.

Apple's copycats are turning into true iPhone competitors

From the very beginning of Android, Apple has been complaining that its Android competitors are ripping off its iPhone designs. Whether the culprit is the Samsung Galaxy S, the HTC One A9, or the ZTE Whatever, Apple is all too happy to remind the world that it's the leader and Android device makers are its followers. Well, things have been changing lately, and today's debut of the Huawei P9 adds momentum to a growing tide of distinctive new phones coming out of China — ones that aren't defined by a religious adherence to photocopying the iPhone. The Huawei P9 and the Xiaomi Mi 5 before it are the harbingers of a much more dangerous rival to Apple, a set of Chinese manufacturers capable of crafting their own, attractive, even premium designs.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to argue that the entire mobile industry has suddenly developed scruples about ripping off Apple's design work. Just a glance or two at Oppo's F1 Plus or Meizu's Pro 5 will tell you that iPhone imitations are still very much alive and thriving. But the substantive change that's taken place in the mobile industry recently is the recognition of the paramount importance of high-quality industrial design. Xiaomi poured two years of development work into the Mi 5, while Huawei  outspent Apple on research and development last year by more than a billion dollars. Those investments are aimed at long-term technical innovations, an important subset of which is the development and refinement of standout designs. The P9 has a similar metal construction to the iPhone, but it feels different and, thanks to its idiosyncratic pair of camera eyes, looks different too.

The copying of Apple has evolved. It's less literal now, as companies strive to recreate the essence of Apple's success, whether it be through vertical integration (as with Huawei and its in-house processor design), positive brand associations, or simple aesthetic and tactile appeal. Apple is still the Michael Jordan that every Chinese smartphone manufacturer looks up to, but instead of trying to dunk with their tongues sticking out or shoot fadeaway jumpers, these rising stars are developing their own ways of scoring points with consumers. Instead of imitating, they are emulating.

There's no other way to interpret this development than as decidedly good news. Huawei has gone from routinely copying Sony's Xperia Z designs — culminating in the utterly anonymous Huawei P8 last year — to defining its own look and feel, as well as staking a claim for technological leadership with its unique camera setup. The dual-camera system on the Huawei P9 is not attempting to serve up fresh gimmicks, and is instead targeted at improving contrast, gathering more light, and generally making every photo look as good as it can possibly be. I'm not yet sure how well Huawei has executed this plan, but I can already say that the concept makes sense from a photographer's perspective and shows the right ambition to get ahead rather than chase from behind. Plus, Huawei is doing the whole two-camera trick without resorting to an unattractive camera wart. There's no Apple blueprint for making that happen, so what we're witnessing now is Huawei flexing its own engineering muscle.

Google's Self Driving Cars

The car processes both map and sensor information to determine where it is in the world. They're  car knows what street it's on and which lane it's in.
What’s around me?

Sensors help detect objects all around us. The software classifies objects based on their size, shape and movement pattern. It detects a cyclist and a pedestrian in this case.
What will happen next?

The software predicts what all the objects around us might do next. It predicts that the cyclist will ride by and the pedestrian will cross the street.
What should you do?

The software then chooses a safe speed and trajectory for the car. Our car nudges away from the cyclist, then slows down to yield to the pedestrian.

What’s in a self-driving car
They're self - driving prototypes rely on their sensors and software to drive themselves.

They're working toward vehicles that take you where you want to go at the push of a button. They started by adding components to existing cars like our Lexus SUVs, then began designing a new prototype from the ground up to better explore what should go into a fully self-driving vehicle. We removed the steering wheel and pedals, and instead designed a prototype that lets the software and sensors handle the driving.

iPhone SE Is Out Of Stock!

As it turns out, making a new 4-inch smartphone was actually a brilliant move on Apple’s part. It’s new iPhone SE is sold out in many stores across the US, and shipping estimates have slipped into the end of April.

As first pointed out by Apple Insider, the SE is widely unavailable in Apple stores and the earliest delivery date is April 20. That’s a solid two weeks away — if you’re lucky.

And while we never know exactly how much stock Apple has on-hand for a new device, the SE being hard to get indicates that refreshing the small iPhone was a great idea. We expected the newer, big iPhones to be sold out shortly after launch, but a 4-inch device felt like an antiquated notion nobody would support in 2016. Seems we were wrong.

If you don’t have your heart set on the tiny powerhouse — but want a new iPhone — the 6s and 6s Plus are readily available.

Yes Or Can't Beat The Best 3 IOS Vs Android

On Today's Yes Or  Can't Beat The Best We are Going To Be Talking About IOS And Android!
IOS 9.3.1
Interface : Darwin based
Designer : Jony Ive
Encryption Servers : Apple infinite loop
People using the software 2016 89.9%
App Store : IOS App Store
Communication software preinstalled iMessage & FaceTime

Android 6.0 marshmallow
Interface : UNIX based
Designers : Rich miner
                   Andy Rubin
                   Nick Sears
Encryption servers location
Samsung campus France
People using software : 99.9% More people use android due to someone can't afford iOS devices no offence
App Store : Google play store
Communication MyMail & gmail

These two softwares are based on similar code UNIX & Darwin which are both similar and light mobile device software that's why they are both really fast iOS 9.3.1 performs slightly better because android lacks full encryption so you'll have to manually go to settings and do it which can take hours and it still isn't fully encrypted iOS on the otherhand is in safe hands always fully encrypted and being checked 24/7 for bugs but they are not always solved same with Android devices

iOS is more for businesses and Android lags a bit on its own software IOS is 3 words Swift sleek & style it is incredibly smooth really protected and secure it is incredibly hard to hack into iOS

Android on the other hand is actually really easy to hack you will just need to ROOT the device ( which is like jail breaking for android ) and it installs all vulnerable software on to the android device
That's why when you update it says The software has been Modified etc because the android device has a virus what makes it even more sluggish

Erasing the device to factory settings may help
Try I said it "Might"

Now back to Yes Or Can't Beat The Best
iOS is clearly the winner because Android is really easy to hack through ROOTING and iOS is quite hard near impossible to hack and iOS is more smooth and android lags on light applications due to its very virus vulnerable software and iOS has always been fully encrypted in important departments .
