Samsung Releases 2 New Galaxy S4 Video Ads Looking Down at iPhone

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Samsung, the biggest manufacturer of Android smartphones, does not see any major threat from other OEMs, like HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola, etc., that manufacture Android devices. And therefore, the only other player that the company considers a worthy rival is Apple Inc. While Samsung occupies a largest share in the smartphone market in Asian and European market, it has been facing neck to neck competition in the US and Canadian markets where major number of the so called “iSheep” crowd dwell.

The Korean smartphone giant has been trying hard to break the iPhone cult and disillusion the loyal iOS fans. For the past couple of years, especially after the launch of the Galaxy S3, Samsung has been releasing videos after videos to show its Galaxy line of devices far superior to the iPhone and iPad. In most of such video ads, Samsung has been very unabashed in its criticism of iPhone that, according to the company, is inferior to its recent flagship devices in all aspects.

Continuing its well known jab towards iPhone, Samsung has now come up with 2 new TV ads the first of which tries to establish the Galaxy S4 as the next big change for those who own an iPhone. The ad is set on an aeroplane where a Galaxy S4 user is shown happy enjoying a video on the 5? display of his phone but he is soon disturbed by a fellow passenger who own an iPhone. As their talk proceeds the man with Galaxy S4 tells him about features like Easy Mode and Smart Switching that can transfer almost everything from an iPhone to the Galaxy flagship.

The second video (below) has nothing  like tooth and claw pointing to iPhone. It is rather a simple ad that highlights the advantages of the S Translate feature of Galaxy S4. A girl takes his boyfriend to meet her parents. The boy is a little hesitant about his first impression and worried because he does not know the native tongue of his girl-friend parents. However, his Galaxy S4 come to help and with the help of translation, he is able to impress the mother by talking to her in her native language.

Anyway, watch the new videos and do not forget to share which one did you like most. Cheers!

iPhone 5S' Leak Online from Apple

MacRumors has obtained what it says are photos of the rear shell and logic board of the so- called "iPhone 5S," which match other images that appeared earlier in the week. Rumors andspeculation generally point to Apple's next smartphone to be similar in design to the iPhone 5, and the label "5S" — based on previous models — has stuck. The interior shots reveal a different battery than the iPhone 5, with 5.92 watt-hours of energy compared to its existing battery in the iPhone 5, which stores 5.45 watt-hours, MacRumorsnotes. The iPhone 5S is also rumored to come with a higher-resolution camera and improved light modes. The smartphone is expected to launch this fall. What do you think of the latest alleged leak of the iPhone 5S? Is it the real deal? Let us know in the comments.

Apple iPhone 5S release date, features, price and rumours

When it comes to smartphones, the first few months of 2013 moved the proverbial goalposts.Android handsets flourished with Full HD screens, aluminium or glass unibodies and every feature under the sun. Apple’s iPhone 5 has been on the scene for a while now but its thunder is in danger of being stolen by the Android Army. The question we all want to know is what will Apple do next? With Cupertino updating the iPad 3 just months after releasing it, there are reports that an iPad Mini 2 or even an Apple TV could be on the way. What we know for sure though, is that the company will want to reclaim its smartphone crown. So, T3 has gathered together everything we know about the rumoured iPhone 5S. Apple iPhone 5S casing If some recently leaked photos from China are to be believed, the casing and outward design of the new iPhone 5 S won't be all that different to the current iPhone 5 handsets. If the pictures are genuine, they show the new iPhone 5 S will have the exact same design, dimensions and measurements as its predecessor.


The only difference between the two, according to these images, is the length of and shape of the screen cable and the parts that connect them to the chassis. This would be in line with Apple's established pattern with its iPhone handsets since the 3GS came out, which involves leaving the basic iPhone chassis largely untouched and instead concentrating on upgrading the internal parts. Up until now, Apple hasn’t strayed from the white/black colour scheme for its phones but Topeka Capital Research analyst Brian White has said he believes that along with different colours, the iPhone 5S may arrive in different sizes. This appears to be backed up by Japanese tech site Macotakara which also believes the iPhone 5S will have three extra colours added to the black or white standard. If Apple launched three models, for example with 3.5-inch, 4-inch and 5-inch screens, it would allow the company to grab both premium and budget customers. However, this could be more of a plan for the iPhone 6 as, traditionally, “S” models have kept the same outer casing as their immediate predecessors. At the bare minimum, we’d expect to see a better camera (although don’t expect ultrapixels, HTC One-style) and a faster processor. Apple iPhone 5S specs When it comes to the specs of the next iPhone, at the very least we expect Apple to use the A6X chip currently found in the latest iPad. However, the latest rumours suggest Apple could be working on an A7 chip for the forthcoming iPad 5. In years gone by, Apple has previously worked with Samsung to produce processors for it's iPhone range. But, given the recent legal tussels between the two companies, many speculate that Apple will want to distance itself from the Korean company. Some rumours have hinted at an Intel chip being included in the next iteration of the iPhone. Some purported images of iPhone 5S prototypes appear to show a change in the hardware configuration that suggests Apple is moving things around to make space for a bigger battery or extra features such as NFC. Apple famously decided to withhold NFC for the iPhone 5 and since both theSamsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy S4 have arrived toting the new connectivity, Apple may want to incorporate it this time around. Recent reports from Taiwan and tech website NFC World indicate that manufacturer Chipbond has won a major contract to build components for the iPhone 5S - including NFC. What's more, other rumours suggest that Apple will go further and include a fingerprint scanner in the iPhone 5S, adding in extra security. In terms of storage, there is the strong possibility of Apple launching a new phone with 128GB storage – similar to the latest iPad upgrade. Meanwhile Jeffries analyst Peter Misek told Business Insider that he believes the iPhone 5S will feature a “Super HD screen” along with a range of colours similar to the iPod Touch range. Considering all the top Android handsets feature Full HD displays, we reckon its unlikely Apple will launch the iPhone 5S with anything less than a 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolution. Apple iPhone 5S camera It’s well known that one of the key battlegrounds of smartphone warfare is the specifications of the on-board camera. The Sony Xperia Z and Galaxy S4 arrived sporting 13MP cameras while HTC upset the apple cart by including a 4MP “ultrapixel” camera into its HTC One handset. Apple has consistently upped the camera specs in each of its models and its no stretch to think that the company will do the same for the iPhone 5S. According to iLounge, Cupertino isn’t planning to go down the HTC route and will instead launch the 5S with a 13MP camera – putting it in league with the Sony and Samsung handsets. Of course, hardware is only half the story and if Apple can come up with some killer in-house apps to take advantage of the camera in new ways it will give them a good start on the competition. Apple iPhone 5S pictures A few interesting pictures have leaked out onto the web regarding the iPhone 5S. One of the first to emerge was the back of an unspecified type of iPhone that was leaked to Nowhereelse.fr. There’s not much to go on here, but – as expected – the casing and design looks almost identical to the iPhone 5.


Tellingly though, the serial numbers underneath the iPhone moniker aren’t listed. While it would certainly fit with the design of the current iPhone it doesn't yet confirm whether the 5S will come in a range of colours - much like it did with the iPod Touch - or whether the company will simply stick to the black/white variants. This second image (pictured at the start of this article) apparently shows stripped-down iPhone 5S casing next to a current iPhone 5 teardown image. The snap was initially uploaded to iPhone4Parts and looks very similar to Apple’s current design – except with a few screws lost along the way. Apple iPhone 5S release date Plenty of sources have weighed in with opinions on when the iPhone 5S and the overriding good news is that it appears to be sooner rather than later. For the most part, the majority of rumours hinged on late summer as the likely date for the new phone. Business Insider recently came across reports that the new iPhone 5 will be enter production in June 2013. Manufacturers like Sharp, LG and JapanDisplay are said to be constructing displays for the new hanset and the actual device itself may arrive in "the Fall". According to iMore rumours, we may have to wait until August 2013 to see the iPhone 5S, which would make it a full year (11 months) since the company first revealed the iPhone 5. However, Apple's Worldwide Developer's conference is taking place in San Francisco from June 10-14, and we may see a few more rumours and leaks develop as a result. We'll temper that by saying that the focus of WWDC isn't the hardware. Expect more news about iOS and OS X, with maybe a snippet about the next Macbook, rather than any detailed tellings on the future of iPhone.

Apple iPhone 5S with dual-LED flash spotted again in new leaked pic

It was only Friday that we caught our first glimpse of the purported iPhone 5S and its camera-enhancing dual-LED flash.




Now, a couple of days later, a second (much clearer) snap has reared its head, seemingly adding to the credibility of the first leak.

Like the earlier shot, the build of the device seems to be exactly the same as the iPhone 5. It doesn't appear to be larger and there appear to be no other format changes.

Sticking with tradition, the iPhone 5S seems likely to be more of an incremental update headlined by improved innards and the new iOS 7 software.


Is that it?


The question is, will those factors be enough to stave off challenges from Samsung, HTC and potentially the Motorola X Phone and an improved Nexus smartphone from Google and its partners?

Would the inclusion of an extra light bulb be enough to encourage you to update to the new handset? Or are you demanding much more from Apple when it unveils the new device later this year?

5. the flat-rate aid of images and sounds, the question of the card boxes.  Fixed a few minor bugs are also LAN mode.

6. made it easier to remove empty groups in the library list.  After the removal of the items in the group to go to another box and then back to an empty group is deleted.

iOS 7 Announcement Spurs iOS 6 Jailbreak Scams

As Apple fanboys and iOS developers gear up for the transude of iOS 7 later this gravitation, jailbreaking teams are no incertitude also preparing themselves to open up Apple's fashionable OS. But in the meantime, scams purporting to jailbreak the most past visible versions of iOS seem to be effort a help. We early came across this lie in the Stabley Times, who reported that sites trading under the itemise "Softra1n" were offering to trade a jailbreak answer for iPhone 5 phones spouting iOS 6.1.3 and 6.1.4. Currently, the big names like Redsn0w and Evasi0n aren't bearing either of these versions for iPhone 5. 

They also don't calculate for their services. The swindle takes several forms, and uses distinct names-some variants of Softra1n-but all materialize to be fundamentally the one. From links in a Google activity or another website, you're led to an online storefront where you're parted from your change with the expectation of a jailbreak statement. According to the Stabley Present, the scammers create off with the own substance (and presumably your interchange as fit) and use you nil in turn. The rig also seems long-running. A blog occupation from early this fountain shows a outstandingly connatural scam. Why Jailbreakers Jailbreakers downfall into that categorize of marginalized, back-alley dealing that oft cruise low the radar of law enforcement-similar to online pornography. 

There's a covert matter to both, one that scammers avow benefit of to dupe their victims. In the containerful of porno, or pirated movies, scammers rely on victims state lower suspicious and inferior prospective to kick. If your computer gets a virus from downloading porn, you belike don't requisite to permit to it. The equal is confessedly for jailbreaking tools. Some people are interested in freeing their iPhone from the clutches of Apple and are choice to stand many seek in doing so. Not exclusive that, their avenues for reportage a swindle are specific; Apple certainly isn't deed to like that you got turn jailbreaking your phone. In a past converse with SecurityWatch, F-Secure's gaffer research seaman Mikko Hypponen underlined few of the risks interested with jailbreaking iOS devices.

iPhone software Coming in fall

As most of you know, Apple has just released a new iOS for iPhone and iPads. Some of you may have watched the keynote, which was yesterday online at Apple's website. Just installed the latest version of the iOS7 the iPhone 5.


After the show, I was a little disappointed with the new iOS 7, I thought of the design is weak, what looks like Androids or Windows-phones, so that Apple lost their creativity and sense of design. Luckily, I was wrong!


When I installed it on my iPhone I got the feeling it, it's just a cool, as it should be. A lot of new features, the easy, flat design and awesome animation, which is everywhere. It is amazing to see how the device works. Of course, I will need some time to get used to some of the new features (new gestures, multitasking, colors, etc), but the feeling that somewhere in the future is here, the Apple does not lose and I hope that they do not.

The Anatomy of an iPhone


iPhone OS


Before we delve into the hardware of the iPhone we will start by talking about the operating system that sits on top of all the hardware. This operating system is called iPhone OS and is a variant of Apple’s Mac OS X operating system that has been adapted to run on the iPhone. It is built upon a “UNIX-like” foundation called Darwin and consists of the Mach kernel, core services and media layers and the Cocoa Touch interface.

Display


The iPhone 3GS has a 3.5 inch display with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels capable of displaying 163 pixels per inch (ppi). The underlying technology is a thin-film transistor (TFT) capacitive touch screen capable of displaying up to 16 million colors. The screen has a scratch and oil resistant surface and includes a proximity sensor that automatically turns off the screen when you put the phone to your ear (presumably to extend the battery life during a phone call and to avoid making user interface selections with the side of your face). The device also has ambient light detection that adjusts the screen brightness to ensure the optimal screen visibility in a variety of lighting conditions from bright sunlight to darkness.

Wireless Connectivity


The iPhone 3GS supports a wide range of connectivity options. When within range of a Wi-Fi network, the device can connect at either 802.11b (11 Megabits per second) or 802.11g (54 Megabits per second) speeds.

For making phone calls or transferring data when not connected to Wi-Fi, the device supports GSM/EDGE connectivity (otherwise known as 2G). For faster speeds, support is also provided for connectivity via technology referred to as High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA). This is better known as 3G and provides data transfer speeds of up to 7.2 megabits per second. The iPhone 3GS also includes Bluetooth v2.1 support, though this functionality is limited to headset support.

Wired Connectivity



Given the wide array of wireless options it is not surprising that the iPhone has little need for wired connections. In fact the iPhone only has two. One is a standard 3.5 mm headset jack for the attachment of headphones or other audio devices. The second is a proprietary, 30-pin dock connector that, by default, is used to provide a USB v2.0 connection for synching with a computer system and battery charging. In practice, however, this connection also provides audio and TV output via specialty third party cables.

Memory


The iPhone 3GS comes in two editions, one with containing 16GB of memory and another with 32GB. The memory is in the form of a flash drive. Unlike some devices, the iPhone lacks the ability to supplement the installed memory by inserting additional flash memory cards.

Camera


The iPhone 3GS contains a 3.15 megapixel (2048x1536 pixels), autofocus camera that may also be used to record video at VGA resolution at a rate of 30 frames per second.

Sensors


The latest generation of iPhone has an array of sensors that would make even the most die-hard 1960s science fiction fan jealous. These consist of a proximity sensor that detects when the front of the phone is covered or otherwise obscured, an accelerometer that uses the pull of gravity to detect when the device is moved or rotated and an ambient light sensor that detects current environmental light levels.

Location Detection



The iPhone contains a digital compass and GPS support with Assisted GPS (A-GPS) support. Essentially this enables the iPhone to detect the direction the device is facing and to identify the current location by detecting radio signals from GPS satellites. In the event that GPS signals are unavailable or too weak to establish the current coordinates, the iPhone can also gain an approximate location using cellular and Wi-Fi information.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)


The central processing unit (CPU) of the iPhone 3GS is an ARM Cortex A8 chip running at 600 MHz. This is a processor designed by a British company called ARM Holdings that specializes in designing chips and then licensing those designs to third parties who then manufacture them. This differs considerably from the approach taken by companies such as Intel who both design and manufacture their own chips.

The Cortex A8 chip is based on the ARMv7 processor architecture and was chosen by Apple for its combination of high performance and low power requirements. With the arrival of the iPad, however, Apple has started to use processors manufactured to its own designs, so it is possible that the iPhone 3GS will be the last model to use an ARM based CPU.

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)


iPhone 3GS graphics are handled by an Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). This is also the same GPU that is built into the iPad and provides support for OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 (a lightweight version of SGI’s OpenGL platform) and OpenVG 1.1 graphics drawing and manipulation and includes the Universal Scalable Shader Engine (USSE), all key requirements for graphics intensive games development.

The older iPhone 3G contains the PowerVR MBX GPU which only supports OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenVG 1.0.

Speaker and Microphone


As with most other phones on the market, the iPhone includes both a built-in microphone and a speaker to enable the use of the device as a speakerphone. Both the speaker and microphone may be used by third party apps, though as to be expected with a device the size of an iPhone, the sound quality of the speaker is widely considered to be poor.

Vibration


Though initially provided as a “silent ring” feature whereby the device vibrates to indicate an incoming call as an alternative to a ring tone (a feature common to most mobile phone devices), the vibration feature of the iPhone may also be used within applications to notify the user of a new event (such as a breaking news story) or to provide tactile feedback such as for an explosion in a game.

Summary


As we have seen in this chapter, the iPhone packs an impressive amount of technology into a very small amount of space. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of all this technology is that you can, almost without exception, access and utilize all this hardware within your own applications.

Why Jailbreak? Top 5 Reasons to jailbreak iPhone


Reason #1 – Install 3rd pary applications via Cydia and Installer

But even with thousands of applications available on AppStore, there are some other great applications, such as Netshare, banned by Apple to hit the Appstore for certain reasons.

Reason #4 – Full control of your iPhone

This may not be the reason for non-tech iPhone user. But for geeks, this may be why you need to jailbreak the iPhone. As you may know, the inner part of iPhone is a trim-down version of Mac OS X, which is actually a Unix core. So, you may wonder whether you can install some Unix applications such as Apache web server, on the iPhone. The answer is yes. With iPhone jailbreak, you can install a lightweight version of HTTP server and other similiar servers. And, one server that most Jailbreak iPhone users are using is a SSH daemon. With SSH, you can connect to iPhone remotely and transfer any file to/from it. Pretty cool, right? You can further refer to this post about how you can use SSH to transfer ringtone to the iPhone.

Give your iPhone an iOS 7 makeover with this new theme

Folks feeling left out of all of the iOS 7 beta festivities will be happy to hear that there is now a way you can get in on the fun—no developer account required. A new theme just popped up in Cydia that promises to give your jailbroken iPhone an iOS 7-style makeover.


Now, obviously it’s not going to be exactly like iOS 7. You’re not going to get any of the new features that come with the major update, like the control center or the revamped Notification Center. But if you just want your iPhone to look like iOS 7, this theme is for you…


The theme is, aptly, called ‘iOS 7 Theme,’ and yes it requires WinterBoard. But if you can get past that, you’re just one quick download away from having the highly controversial, redesigned iOS 7 stock app icons scattered across your jailbroken iOS 6 device’s Home screen.


Unfortunately, new icons are about all you’ll get. It’s not nearly as expansive as ayecon, or some of the other more popular themes available right now. That being said, the iOS 7 Theme was put together in just a few days, so it’s possible we could see updates in the future.


But what it does, it does well. I’m using the iOS 7 beta on my iPhone 4S, and the icons on my iPhone 5 running the iOS 7 theme are a dead ringer (maybe they’re even the exact same ones). So, depending on how you feel about the iOS 7 icons, you may really like it.


Those really wanting to make their device look like it’s running iOS 7 can pickup the iOS 7 Lock screen theme, available in BigBoss. And I would recommend the BlurriedNCBackground, a theme for Notification Center that makes it look somewhat similar to iOS 7.


Anyway, if you want to check out the iOS 7 Theme, it’s available in Cydia, in the ZodTTD & MacCiti repo for free.
