Even today, there are still many iPhone users who have only 16 GB or 32 GB available. Often there is then memory shortage and you do not know what one would like to separate itself on the fast. In iOS 10 there is therefore a great optimization for the music store, which introduces restrictions and if necessary deletes songs.

Apple mirror: developer shows concept for a mirror with iOS 10


On the Internet you can look at all sorts of interesting things and concepts of experienced developers. Of course, Apple products are particularly interesting for different design studies. However, these are often only limited to simple graphics and show rarely functional devices. The inventor Rafael Dymek has now developed an "Apple Mirror", which is already fully functional. We show you the mirror with iOS 10.


The mirror has been part of our everyday life for many years. No matter whether we take a look at a glance early, check out the hairstyle before leaving, or just watch out for a while before we go to sleep - the mirror is always there. Would not it be cool if you could still use the time before the mirror?



This thought must also have gone to the "New Yorker" designer Rafael Dymek, before he has made his latest project - the Apple Mirror - inconspicuous and with black frame he hangs at the designer home The cool concept - a mirror with iOS 10 or oriented itself the user interface and design strongly to Apple's mobile operating system.



The smart mirror displays the weather, the time and various app icons. The latter can be opened and easily positioned on the surface. For example, you can view a series on Netflix, call up Facebook, control home devices, create notes, over-order or play music. After 45 seconds of inactivity, the user interface turns off and can be activated again with a fingertip.

That's why you should not hold the iPhone 7 to the ear


The Apple iPhone 7 radiates significantly stronger than the previous model and also more than the competition. On an information page, Apple even points out that one should use the hands-free function to protect against radiation.


It of every new smartphone generation, the manufacturers try to improve the devices further. More memory, more processor power, higher resolution. Year after year the figures in the specifications climb upwards - but with a value one hopes exactly the opposite: with the mobile phone radiation.

But while Apple's new iPhones again and again as the "best iPhone ever", the radiation values seem to deteriorate from year to year - and in the iPhone 7, the apple company now even seeks to point to an info page and for A lower radiation exposure recommends the use of the hands-free option.

"To reduce the RF (high-frequency) noise, you can use a hands-free option, such as the built-in speaker," says the page. In addition, Apple recommends the iPhone 7 always with a distance of 5mm from the body wear.

The iPhone 7 has a higher SAR value than the competition

The reason for this recommendation is the increased SAR value compared to the previous models of the iPhone 7. SAR stands for specific absorption rate and expresses how much watts per kilogram of radiation affect the user when the mobile phone is held to the head during telephone calls and operates with the highest radio power.

For the current iPhone 7 this value is 1.384. This is still well below the limit of two watts per kilogram of body weight, but much more compared to the competition.
This is how the competition cuts

While the iPhone weighs 1.384 watts per kilogram to the user, the radiation of the competition is significantly lower - and also the direct predecessor, the iPhone 6s, stands with a SAR value of 0.87 better. In addition, the SAR value of the iPhone 7 is more than double that of the nine-year-old iPhones of the first generation.

IPhone 7: 1.384
IPhone 7 +: 1.238
IPhone 6s: 0.87
IPhone 1st generation: 0.62
Google Pixel: 0.33
Samsung Galaxy S7: 0.41
One Plus 3: 0.394
LG G5: 0.596

IOS 10: Thanks to Siri and FaceTime, unauthorized people will come to your photos


Apple's voice assistant Siri allows access to contacts and photos under iOS 10 despite blocking screen. COMPUTER BILD has tried it out and tells you how to protect yourself.

If you want to block your iPhone with a code lock against unauthorized access, should not weigh in too much security. The Apple video calling service FaceTime and Siri, the language assistant for iPhone and iPad, are responsible for this. COMPUTER PICTURE has tried and found that in certain circumstances, it is actually possible to access personal contacts and photos in the lock screen.

This is how the Siri trick works

To access the contacts and photos, the bug uses two different functions: FaceTime and Siri. The intruders need a second iPhone and the number of the Apple device to be hacked. Then call them with the Videotelefonie App FaceTime. Then the intruders enter the address book contacts with a few tricks via the iMessage message function and see all the stored photos.

How can I protect my Apple device?

In order to access contacts and photos from your iPhone, you must meet several requirements. The number of your mobile phone must be known and the FaceTime as well as Siri in the blocking screen must be activated. In the COMPUTER BILD test, an update to the latest iOS version helped: on an iPhone 6 with not yet updated iOS 10.0.2, COMPUTER BILD could actually crack the blocking screen with the trick and get access to all photos and contacts. In the current software version (iOS 10.1), however, the bug did not occur in the COMPUTER BILD test, as did the Beta-iOS version 10.2 (Beta 3). However, contradictory reports are circulated. As a YouTube video demonstrates, the vulnerability seems to exist under certain circumstances even under the current beta version of iOS 10.2. If you want to make sure, you should disable Siri in the lock screen.

Not the first time

However, it is not the first time that Siri has made a dash to the security needs of its users. Already in previous iOS versions, it was possible with the language assistant for strangers to get access to private areas of the iPhones. So it was already at the start of iOS 5 it possible to open the address book or to display unread e-mails or SMS, as well as send messages and (pay) calls. Apple also had to improve on iOS 7, as well as on iOS 8.
