Study: iPad suffers iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus


Pocket study indicates that owners of an iPhone 6 or an iPhone 6 Plus much less access to tablet computers as the owner of an iPhone 5S. Blame for the misery are most likely the larger displays of the new smartphones. Because Apple dominates the tablet market with its iPad, the company suffers most from the new "competition".


The origins of the tablet computer go back to the 1990s. Was published by the iPad in 2010, but this led rather a niche. The great success of the Apple tablet encouraged other manufacturers to develop their own devices and to upload it. Meanwhile, the tablet market is so flooded that even tech-savvy end users often the overview is lost. The products of Apple hold, however, still within manageable limits - at least in view of the number of different models. In the current devices are the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 3, both undoubtedly among the most powerful and most user-friendly tablet on the market.

One gives a study faith, then the new iPad but not overly enjoy great popularity. For this, just the iPhone and the iPhone 6 will be made 6 Plus responsible. The new Apple smartphones have 4.7 or 5.5 inch display sizes for the first time on that fall within the so-called phablet area. By using such a large cell phone, the huge advantage is diminished (a large display) a tablet considerably. Consequently, the expensive purchase of an iPad is not worth as much as before. The user study of Pocket points out that at the time of the iPhone 5S is 45 percent reached for the iPad. On the iPhone 6 there are, however, 28 percent, while the rate is 6 Plus is the iPhone only at 20 percent.

iPhone 6 and 6 Plus make Apple the most valuable company in the world


The IT giant Apple is currently the most valuable company in the world based on the value of the shares. The market capitalization of Apple is currently 701 billion in US dollars. 1.7 times more than the second most valuable company Exxon Mobil Corp.


Thanks to the new generation of iPhone models, Apple may decorate with new records again. How Handelsblatt reported, Apple is currently the most valuable company in the world. A share of the IT giants was worth it in the morning in the trading of New York 119.59 US dollars. In sum, this results in a market capitalization of 701 billion US dollars. The distance the runner Exxon Mobil Corp. is growing, although this is not the merit of Apple. The oil industry in which Exxon operates currently suffering from weak oil prices, and therefore also the share value of companies has fallen. Exxon Mobil is currently worth about 405 billion at US dollars. Around 43 billion US dollars less than it was five months ago. The Apple stock has increased in value since the beginning of 48 percent.

The modernization of the range of Apple so bear its fruit and comes primarily to equity holders and owners of the company for good. Investors also are pleased with the system established by Apple Apple Pay payment system and the upcoming Apple Watch. Both should mean that existing customers are more closely tied to Apple products, and new customers will be more interested in Apple products. Analysts also show a positive effect on the development. "Given the significant refreshment of Apple portfolios over the past three months, the innovation weakness of competitors and the free-spending environment in the US, we believe that Apple in the pre-Christmas season has a chance to shine," said Brian White, an analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald.

iPhone 6 and 6 Plus: Complaints about scratching the display


Glass problems in Apple sales hit: Since the release of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus complain apparently more and more owners of a new Apple smartphone scratches on the screen, making for itself after just a few days use felt. Accordingly, the glass is much more sensitive than previous models.

How apple insider reported accumulate in the Apple support forum complaints from iPhone 6-owners over scratched screens. Only a few days after the official launch thus emerged the first relevant entry in the community, where the relevant iPhone 6 users speaks of visible scratches near the corners of the display, although he was dealt his own words especially careful when using your smartphone. Since then, the answers from users with similar problems has been growing. Meanwhile posted an entry about 600 responses. In many scratches are visible on the screen after a week of normal use, also.

iPhone 6 more susceptible to scratches than previous models?

In the course of their complaints stakeholders also pointed out that previous models like the iPhone 5s were not nearly to deal with such problems. Surprisingly, this is not because overall the iPhone is built 5s compact. Apple's new iPhone generation, however, is the first that uses a curved display glass. This could increase the likelihood of contact between display glass and other surfaces, and so some of those affected also suspect just that as a possible reason for the higher sensitivity.

Apple itself has not yet officially responded to the emerging problems. However, some affected iPhone 6-owners could successfully convert them into an Apple Store with a new device scratched her smartphone.

iPhone and iPhone 6 6 Plus can play 4K videos


iPhone and iPhone 6 6 Plus can do more than one would guess - video in 4K resolution playback, for example. The developers of the app Waltr noticed when testing the same, save that the high-resolution video content easily on Apple's latest smartphones and leave even play.

Also a good two months after its release are iPhone and iPhone 6 6 Plus is still good for one or the other feature surprise. The surprising finding of 4K support makes an app with the beautiful name Waltr possible. With this Mac software it is possible to load media files without going through iTunes directly drag & drop on the iPhone or iPad. The developers were doing rather to upload files like MKV or FLAC in mind that is not supported by iTunes house, even a 4K video could with their app but charge an iPhone 6. A video evidence showing the successful attempt.

Can we now expect a 4K version of Apple TV?

Of course playing a video with 3840 x 2160 pixels on a device with a significantly lower resolution rather pointless - apply to the display of the iPhone 6 1334 x 750 pixels square, the larger iPhone 6 Plus there are at least 1920 x 1080. But this does after all the realization that Apple A8 chip is easily able to handle this kind of high definition video footage. The thesis that a possible fourth generation Apple TV could also offer 4K content, should enjoy the rumor mill.

sapphire crystal was also planned for the display of the iPhone 6


The insolvency of the sapphire glass manufacturer GTAT was long foreseen, according to US reports. Mismanagement and quality problems should have led after Apple decided until the summer of 2014, and the screens of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus with the hard glass to provide.

The problems with the production of sapphire glass that wanted to use for future products Apple, the company GTAT were known long before the company filed for bankruptcy protection. This is from a report in the Wall Street Journal shows, based primarily on a letter provided by Apple, the iPhone the provider sent to the creditors of GTAT. This letter made Apple the journal available, it should have been sent shortly after the bankruptcy.

It emphasizes Apple, the bankruptcy was "completely on GTATs mismanagement" caused. This statement is supported by former employees of the sapphire glass manufacturer, with which the Journal has spoken independently of Apple's letter. Indicate that after the order for a large amount of material GTAT new colleagues have almost panic set.

This would have had nothing to do but to part and also get assigned to no superior. 700 people were reportedly alone set in summer 2014, when Apple announced the launch of the covers of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Specifically for the display of these smartphones sapphire glass should be made, so far only the glasses were made before the main camera and the fingerprint sensor from the scratch resistant material.

Some 100 of the new employees would initially but had no guidance, so that they would especially repeatedly cleaned the factory, reports the Wall Street Journal. Not even working hours were set, so that many employees came forward just sick, give to the former GTAT staff.

Only 50 percent yield

Meanwhile, the quality of the sapphire crystal itself should not have so improved that yield Apple was able to meet required quantities. About half of the single crystals, which are produced as the first step should have been useless. And what was useful, should not have been handled carefully. From the single crystals GTAT has, according to the Journal called "Bricks" - Bricks - sawn, in the form of the iPhone 6 displays. Each of the 35 well-centimeter thick Bricks was apparently intended for display covers dozens, if he is then cut into thin slices. Once, however, are the 500 Bricks accidentally not be sent to other party, but for recycling. "We have seen how there was simply money thrown out the window," summarizes a Exmitarbeiter of GTAT together the situation.

Long the problems must have been well hidden from Apple, so that the company's suppliers turned off the money tap due to lack of supply. Only 1 October 2014 - the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus was long without sapphire glass display for sale - Apple should have the residual sum of the previously retained credit to GTAT partially paid. 100 to 139 million US dollars will be flown at that time, and had for 7 October a new date for talks was agreed according to the report. But was able to save the GTAT not more, because on October 6, 2014 requested the company for bankruptcy protection , what Apple eventually came as a surprise.

However, the presentation of the report contradicts this only partially what GTAT put forward in the insolvency proceedings. The company also placed large parts of contracts with Apple before that point to very tight margins and extensive control by the partner. The Journal cites a long-standing Asian suppliers of Apple, who said: ". This is not easy money" too "margins, as thin as a razor blade," fluctuating order volume and little room for error should apply to all suppliers of Apple, according to the report , writes The Wall Street Journal.

iPhone 6s: Supposedly with second camera for SLR-quality


If the iPhone 6s bring a small camera-Revolution? Recent rumors that Apple plans to integrate two separate lenses, which should allow images to those of SLR cameras are more comparable.


In his podcast The Talk Show blogger John Gruber reported that he experienced a roundabout way of Apple's plans for iPhone camera-6s: The new camera could be the "largest camera-step of all time"; if it were a "strange two-lens system in which the camera uses two lenses, which they somehow brings to SLR quality". John Gruber usually has pretty good contacts with Apple and lay with his predictions are often correct.

A similar system already exists in the HTC M8 , as Mac Rumors notes. The HTC smartphone the second lens ensures that the camera system accommodates a total of more light, also can be the focus as with SLR specify more precisely between the planes.

Another system, refers to the Mac Rumors, is one that the company has developed Corephotonics from Israel. Here, the "normal" camera with a further working, which is equipped with a small telephoto lens. Thus, for a three-fold optical zoom with no moving parts realize.

The fact that Apple will again integrate an improved camera in the iPhone 6s is virtually certain - in recent years brought the "s" IPhones even the biggest camera improvements. Just yesterday we reported about a new camera sensor, the Apple's camera supplier Sony announced for the year 2015. The 16- or 21-megapixel sensor offers an ultra-fast autofocus and 4K HDR video capability.

But to launch a few apps were optimized for the Retina higher HD resolution, many users were angry about high scaled accordingly and blurry graphics. Most of engineers designed accordingly to fast, just a heavy weight pushed the update on the long bench: WhatsApp. Since Monday evening, the popular Messenger is now available for download, adjusts the WhatsApp on the larger displays and promoted the app to iPhone-6 era in version 2.11.14.

Optimization for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

iPhone 7: Concept Study Shows Touch ID as part of the display


Once a flagship smartphone sees the light of day, make a rule already the first rumors on the successor model on the internet wide - including the iPhone 6. It is not officially known how Apple will make his iPhone 7, but for has the well-known smartphone concept designer Martin Hajjes already thought about and published very interesante approaches.

Although the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus times are just around two months on the market, already have some ideas and concepts around the successor model, the iPhone 7. Whether Apple meanwhile circulating tinkering mind though is likely, but not officially. Certainly, however, is the fact that the well-known concept designer Martin Hajek has already published some designs around the iPhone 7.

A concept study provides that the touch-enabled display of the future iPhones takes up the entire front. That is, the Home button together with Touch ID could be loud Hajek part of the display and thus outsourced no longer in a separate column on the edge.

This idea is not too far-fetched, considering that Sharp has developed plans for a so-called free-form display. This innovation allows the manufacturer circuits no longer be distributed only in the columns, but also in the display, which in turn creates more flexibility in display design.

In addition to the home button the concept of Hajek could, according to the display function keys, such as camera, torch and Bluetooth included. This would have the advantage that you do not have to specifically go into the settings for calling these functions and thus they could call faster. In addition, the enhanced display gives free more space for apps, without that it must increase the size of the screen.

iPhone 6: Well-less transfer passengers from Android camp than expected


Before the launch of the iPhone 6 numerous analysts predicted that Apple could move to switch due to a larger display, many Android users. Preliminary figures suggest that this effect is not arrived.

According to a survey by the research firm "Consumer Intelligence Research Partners" (CIRP) (via MacRumors), were only 12 percent of Android users, before they have gained one of the new iPhones. About 80 percent of the owners of an iPhone 6 or 6 plus were previously using an iPhone on the go. In comparison, the previous models, iPhone or iPhone 5s 5c 23 percent of buyers used an Android device before, about 65 percent of an Apple smartphone.

From the previous Android users who have switched to an Apple smartphone, about 31 percent have decided Plus 6 for the larger iPhone. For iPhone users, it was 25 percent.

However, the survey is not representative. For CIRP surveyed only 300 iPhone users in the period shortly after the launch in September. Only on the first weekend after launch, Apple sold over 10 million units, as the number of 300 respondents is too small to close on the set of all iPhone owners. Therefore, the survey can serve only as an indication that it changed less Android users to a new iPhone, as expected.

Before the start of the new-generation iPhone, many analysts have assumed that there would be more transfer passengers from the Android camp due to the larger displays than before. Even Apple itself has been prepared and a guide for former Android users published that will help you change.

No faulty memory in the iPhone 6 Plus


Last week, rumors began circulating after which Apple would call the 128 GB model of iPhone 6 Plus because of an error with the internal memory. Now Apple denied these reports.

Apple has currently not easy to make the customer's current-generation iPhone without restrictions tasty - make reports about himself bending and hair outlier units for over a month the round. In recent weeks, was also heard on an error after the 128-GB version of the iPhone 6 Plus inclined to regular system crash. The reason for this problem, the business magazine Business Korea claims to have made over their own resources an error in the NAND flash memory trace. It was suspected due to this potenzuellen hardware defect that Apple would recall all previously sold units of the iPhone 6 Plus with 128 GB of memory.

Now the Apple Fanblog 9to5Mac has obtained a denial from Apple. So the error does not seem to be found in the built-in flash memory of TLC and also occur only in relatively few users. As the entry is to be found in the official Apple forum, contact the crashes and boot loops more then on, when you have many applications installed on the device and these were played through a device-restore - ie when changing from an older to a new iPhone. Apple is aware of the problem and working on a solution, but the built-in memory is not just the land and therefore a recall would not be started also. Moreover, not only the iPhone 6 Plus is affected by this bug.

With the recently rolled out update to iOS 8.1, the error was at least not yet resolved. It is possible that Apple will fix a corresponding fix in one of the following maintenance updates - iOS 8.1.1 was delivered last week and seems already to developer so shortly before a standing rollout. Allegedly are running iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3 even slightly larger updates in development at Apple.

Apple founder Wozniak: "iPhone 6 comes three years too late"


According to Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, the Group had long to switch to larger displays before the iPhone 6. Apple have paid with decreasing market share for it.

In an interview with CNN Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has criticized the strategy to have for years held at small iPhone display. "If Apple a bigger iPhone would have had the last three years already, the Mart share would now be much greater. Apple would also have to compete with Samsung had better cards," Wozniak commented on the larger screen of the iPhone 6. According to IDC figures, Samsung with 24 percent about twice as much market share as Apple.

Hardly anticipation of Apple Watch

Low expectations cherishes Wozniak, Apple announced what the Watch is concerned. His skepticism, however, stirred not from a lack of confidence in Apple rather than other smart watches, he experimented with so far. The concept of being able to shrink one's smartphone to a wristwatch, is very promising. Ultimately, the limited small screen but can always have him return to the smartphone. The Apple Watch he will, however, give a chance Wozniak announced.

When asked what he would be working today if he would have to start from scratch, Wozniak said modestly: "I'm not sure if I'd ever play a role in the tech world." The development of technology products has become more difficult to so much that reason alone, since the components were getting smaller. Assemble such gadgets in the garage, as it once did Wozniak with the first Apple computer, has become virtually impossible.

Retro-Programming: Chinese programmer installed Windows 98 on iPhone 6 plus

The practical utility tends to zero - but it runs: A Chinese forum showing how an age-old Windows and retro-gaming classic look on Apple's new smartphone.

A few weeks ago, the Internet community amused by the bizarre idea of a US student to install Windows 95 on a Smart Watch. User xyq058775 Chinese Forum Feng.com now shows a similar tricks with a new iPhone: He or she has there photos from an iPhone 6 plus released, apparently on the Windows 98 Professional is installed.

In addition to the Microsoft-Oldie he or she get on the Apple device some retro games to life - the tech side "Winfuture" claims to have discovered including the popular in Asia classics "Qi Xia Zhuan Xianjian". Unfortunately there are no videos of installation.
For such an experiment can succeed at all, the Apple device had to be previously manipulated by a jailbreak. The time required for the current iPhone software Pangu 6 is not yet available long and useless to version 8.1.1 again through the coming soon iOS update - at least partially, and then only for a short time probably. User xyq058775 then installed on the iPhone emulator app DOSpad (formerly DOSBox). Emulates a DOS, to provide the basis of old programs - as just the 98 arg dusty Windows - Start.

The practical benefit of this exercise is kept within narrow limits, but that is not also. Here someone just wants to show what is possible.

Weird installations like these have a long tradition: So the guys from "Chip.de" with a trick Windows 8 could run on an Apple iPad, the US bloggers from Lifehacker installed the Google Android system on an old iPhone 3 and "computer screen" tinkered once the Mac OS X operating program in a Windows netbook.

Bye iPhone 6, hello iPhone 5s!


The first impression has not deceived me. After six weeks of intense use, I come to the conclusion: The iPhone 6 is not the right smartphone for me. And even if Apple is doing everything to discourage me downgrade, I have today ordered the iPhone 5s. For someone who spent two years with the iPhone 5 on the way, which still represents an increase. Here are my reasons for the step back from progress.

I was already not a fan of Apple's push to change the display from the fourth to the fifth generation enlarge. The foursome was on the dimensions perfectly in the hand. Nevertheless, one could with the extra length of the iPhone 5 live well in the long run. But on the 4.7 inches of the iPhone 6 I can even after six weeks of intensive use not get used. The size - almost an inch wider and 1.4 inches higher - makes one-handed operation almost impossible. The option by double-tapping on the home button descend the screen contents on thumb radius (one-handed mode), is in truth nothing more than a crutch. For me, the focus is clearly on a smartphone on the handiness and quick usability in everyday life, less on how Retina HD display, contrast ratio and screen size specifications.

Technically hardly disadvantages

Without question, the iPhone 6 offers technical advantages compared to the iPhone 5s: A8 instead A7 processor, improved co-processor, continuous autofocus, HDR for video shooting function and of course NFC. But the benchmark comparisons show that the scores of the two models are not as far apart in terms of pace. A downgrade is to get over. So I do not expect to have to reckon with app updates over the coming months with a significant drop in performance. Even with the battery life of the difference between the iPhone 5s and 6 is small. Here only the scores even more iPhone 6 Plus. And with a widespread use of mobile payments with NFC is also not to be expected in Germany by 2016.

Design is not intended to end

Much has been written in recent weeks about #Bentgate. This refers to the scandal over the possibility that iPhone can bend 6 and 6 Plus due to their construction. A godsend for media and haters who have completely covered poured out their malice on Apple, especially since the company apparently is very accommodating and bent devices exchanges without hesitation.

A necessary decision

Admittedly, the decision was not easy. For me it is self-evident since the original iPhone to upgrade every two years at the latest model of Apple. But so far it has not been difficult to recognize the development of Cupertino as the measure of all things. Apple was known for thinking things to the last detail before implementation to the end. That has now changed. Sure the small disappointment is not enough to make the constructed around Apple ecosystem of hardware and media as a whole in question, but the iPhone 6 gives me no relevant added value. On the contrary, it forces me to downgrade.

iPhone 6 (Plus): 128 GB versions with memory problems (update to iOS 8.1.1)


Among other things, the official Apple forum complaints are piling on endless crashes and reboots the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus at the 128-gigabyte versions. According to an Asian media report shall be due to the TLC-Flash memory and its controller. It remains questionable whether this can be solved with a new firmware or the hardware should be replaced. iOS 8.1.1 is to ensure improvement.

Update: According to reports, the iPhone should already sold 6 with TLC Flash by iOS 8.1.1 receive some improvements. How this actually look like and if so the described problem is solved, remains unclear.

Anyone who has spent around 900 euros for a current iPhone 6 with 128 gigabytes of memory or 1,000 euros for a corresponding Plus version, could possibly not be entirely happy with his investment. The smartphone is then practically unusable for a long time-rich in the international press are reports of problems, the occasional, about frequent crashes, up to constant endless reboots accumulate. Appropriate postings can be read, among other things in the official Apple forum.

Is it goes to the Korean (English-language) website, which is located on the TLC-Flash memory to be used in the 128-gigabyte versions. As the only contract manufacturer provides this handy Samsung manufactures who uses it, for example, in his Evo SSDs. While for MLC NAND (Multi Level Cell), each cell will be described with two bits, there are at TLC (Triple Level Cell) Three. The website suggested that it might therefore be a problem with the memory controller, which ensure the crashes and reboots.

Apple itself has so far not yet indicated. If the problem actually lie with the memory controller, remains to be seen whether it can be fixed with a firmware update. If this is not the case, should the manufacturer rather large expense coming, in the worst (rather unrealistic) case of a recall. Until then we recommend to purchase a maximum of the 64-gigabyte versions.

The name "Wire Lurker" derives from the fact that the Trojan can skip over a USB cable from Macintosh computers to mobile devices. Once the iPhone is connected to the computer, it recognizes the Trojans.

The virus takes advantage of a technique with which you can install apps for the Macbook or iMac outside of the app stores. This is actually reserved for companies that want to provide employees Apps For internal use only.

Wire Lurker steals information from the mobile devices and calls repeatedly updates from the servers of the author from. The Trojans will actively developed, the intentions of the author were still unclear.

The source of infection is the Chinese App Store Maiyadi, so that especially Chinese users are affected. More than 400 apps for Macintosh computers were infected, which had already been downloaded 350,000 times. According to Palo Alto Networks is the largest to date virus attack from Apple devices.

Something ominous is the information that the Trojan installed on iPhones that are not connected with a jailbreak. How this can work, does not explain the IT-security companies.

Apple iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus in a double test

introduction 

Apple has ventured a new step in the eighth generation of the iPhone and bowed to the needs of the customer. In recent years, Apple has always to a display size of 4 inches or held under and repeatedly set the binding operation in the foreground. In the meantime, however, the smart phones and their applications have evolved, so that the need for larger displays has increased and has accordingly implemented. 

Apple had resisted for several years prior to this development and persisted in their principles. These were thrown with the new version of the Apple smartphones overboard what was necessary and essential. The success of the iPhone 6 confirms this step.


Design, Manufacturing & Equipment 

The design could Apple this time not keep to themselves and so the housing of the iPhone 6 already haunted weeks before the presentation by the Blogosphere. At this time I was not particularly thrilled with the look. The plastic strip on the back that provide the appropriate antenna reception have not spoken to me on the pictures surfaced. In reality it looks a little different. In the color "Space Grey" on the strip does not really fall and also not destroy the overall picture of the aluminum housing. But in the end it is a matter of taste. 

In terms of processing, the iPhone 6 its predecessors in every other way (if one disregards the Bendgate). The unibody enclosure is made of high-grade aluminum and the rounded corners of the smartphone is very good in the hand, but not completely sure. Increase the thinness of the device and the new shape of the corners unfortunately the likelihood that the iPhone 6 slips out of his hand by mistake. 

When furnishing Apple has not spilled, and especially in terms of processors a delicacies were installed. The system-on-a-chip has two clocked with 1.4 GHz processors that support 64-bit instruction set. In addition, the A8 chip speaks to a 1 GB RAM and additionally accesses a PowerVR graphics unit GX6450G back. An LTE chip that supports all frequencies in Germany, an NFC chip for mobile payments, Bluetooth 4.0 LE and Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac are also on board. In addition to the innards of the smartphone Apple has installed on the front a 1.2 megapixel camera and a 4.7 inch display with a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels. On the back is an 8 megapixel camera in which the lens protrudes a few millimeters from the housing. This is not really disturbing and it also wobbles not particularly when the iPhone 6 is on a table and operated. In my view, therefore, not a negative point. 

The whole package weighs just 129 grams and has the dimensions of 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm. With this size and the 4.7 inch display of course raises the question of the one-handed operation. With my hands I have no problems with it and I Reach to any controls. For smaller hands, this could be problematic, however.

A main focus of Apple is on the camera and it shows. The back camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels, which is perfectly adequate as in previous years. The megapixel madness of competition has nothing to do with the quality of the recordings, but rather the opposite. The camera has 1.5 micron pixels wide, an ƒ / 2.2 aperture and a digital image stabilizer. The image signal processor has been improved remarkably by Apple and can boast both a faster autofocus and an improved face recognition. 

In the same train, the camera can also benefit from the more powerful A8 processor and is to take slow motion video recording at 240 frames per second and 1080p video at 60 frames per second in the situation. Speaking of videos. One of the innovations is also the continuous autofocus, which makes the first videos that moving objects are always sharp. This works well in practice. 

Well enough talk about the functions of the camera. It comes but rather on the quality of the photos and can be seen. Apple has done it yet gained a lot more down and improve the already excellent camera quality of the iPhone 5s. Compared to the competition it is also clear that the megapixel count has little to do with the quality and the iPhone 6 can score some extra points in the color representation and the general sharpness. In low light, the smartphone from Apple even provides good results, which the accompanying photographs below show.

Apple will make a decision at the end of the current year, report to industry sources. Until then, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor Companxy (TSMC) and perhaps others need to look to the goodwill Apple. The deal for the production of the frog for the iPhone 7 is understandably difficult desires not only attracts the immense volume of orders, but also the value of the main processor Apple A9 is compared to most other components in a smart phone quite high. 

Tried Apple, Samsung the iPhone 7 exclude completely? 

Early 2014 made the message circulating that Apple Samsung want to exclude as a supplier for its new iPhone. At the end it said, however, that the Koreans are yet again involved in at least 30 percent of the A8 chips for the iPhone 6. This year Samsung is trying again to get a bigger part of the mega deals: The President of Samsung's semiconductor business, Kim Ki-nam, this already applied early October, the new 14-nanometer manufacturing process. This is to enable the manufacturer from the end of 2014 to build still more energy efficient and faster processors at the same time. It will be interesting to see if Apple's interested, or if Samsung is perhaps completely ruled out as the biggest competitor in the smartphone business from the production of the iPhone 7.
