TechNews - New iPhones, iPads, Apple TV - tech
(hx) 04:21 PM CEST - Sep,12 2015 - Post a comment / read (3)
There was of course one overriding theme this week: Apple's Sept. 9 press event, where it unveiled new iPhones, the iPad Pro, and a fourth-generation Apple TV.  Lets see if any one going to shell out $ 750 (iPhone 6S) - $ 1100 for a mobile phone that is getting outdated every year! I also find the iPad pro to be a major disappointment. Rather than follow the cues that Microsoft set, Apple is stubbornly stuck in the mobile OS mindset. No storage expansion slots. No USB port of any kind (USB -C would that be too much to ask?) Ability to add external monitors and docking stations. The Apple Pencil stylus has no buttons, no clip or other way to hold/store it when not in use, is excessively long, and costs an extra $99 (wtf price!). The integrated battery can be recharged via Lightning connector, but I've seen reports that it dies quickly and therefore needs frequent charging. How can any of us take this attempt at competing with the Microsoft Surface seriously? Also why Apple so slow doing something? Despite having butt load amount of money, one begin to wonder if all the money Apple have is used for marketing and lawyers...
  • Apple Drops Prices of Last Year's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus - Apple has changed up its pricing mix for existing iPhones. The iPhone 5s drops to free with a two-year contract, while the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will cost $99 and $199 with a two-year contract, respectively. The new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will cost $199 and $299 with contracts, respectively. Monthly prices for financed iPhones will vary by carrier.
  • iOS 9 will be available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch September - An official announcement of new iPhones usually means a release date for the latest version of Cupertino's mobile operating system as well. Today was no different as Apple announced that iOS 9 would be available as a free download September 16th. When it arrives next week, you'll be privy to new features like a new and improved Siri, system-level security settings and split-screen multitasking on the iPad (hello, iPad Pro). Native apps like Maps (now with transit info), Notes and others have also been refreshed, so if you haven't been adventurous enough to test drive the public beta, there will be a load of new stuff for you to try. And there's that brand new News app too, serving up personalized content to your devices for reading on the go.  FYI, Apple today released the final developer builds of iOS 9, WatchOS 2.0, OS X 10.11, and Xcode 7. Developers can use these penultimate versions of the new operating systems to test the compatibility of their apps. Apple will deliver the final, consimer versions of iOS 9 and WatchOS 2.0 on Sept. 16. OS X 10.11 El Capitan will follow on Sept. 30.
  • Apple Targets Business Users with iPad Pro - Apple today announced a new, larger tablet called the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro boasts a 12.9-inch screen with 2,723 by 2,048 resolution, totaling 5.2 million pixels. The display has a variable refresh rate in order to help save power. It supports a full-sized software keyboard, or, when in GarageBand, a larger piano keyboard. The iPad Pro is powered by the A9x processor, which is 1.8 times faster than the A8x it replaces, while also doubling the graphics performance. The tablet offers 10 hours of battery life. For the first time, the iPad Pro has four speakers with stereo sound and will balance the sound depending on how the device is being held. It puts out three times the audio volume of the iPad Air 2. The tablet is 6.9mm thick. Other features include an 8-megapixel iSight camera and an HD video user-facing camera. It will come in 802.11ac and LTE variants. It supports Apple is offering a new accessory for the iPad Pro, a cover that flips open to become a real keyboard similar to that of the Microsoft Surface Pro. The cover's keys use the same technology found in Apple's latest MacBook. A set of magnetic poles connect the keyboard to the iPad Pro, which also transfer data and turn off the software keyboard. Another accessory, the Apple Pencil, acts as a stylus for apps that require a finer point. The Pencil and iPad Pro work together to recognize light and harder presses. Apple claims low latency makes the Pencil feel like a "true writing instrument." The Pencil is battery powered and can charge via the iPad Pro's Lightning port. Pricing for the iPad Pro starts at $799 for a 32GB model with WiFi. The Apple Pencil costs $99, and the Smart Keyboard costs $169. All three reach stores in November.
  • Apple Brings Innovation Back to Television with The All-New Apple TV - Apple sent out a press release announcing a new set-top box for televisions that brings applications to living room. The revised Apple TV features powerful hardware, a modernized operating system with a new user experience, weighty developer tools, and a complete App Store. To start, the new Apple TV relies on voice and touch to control it. The remote has a glass touch surface for navigating through menus as well as secondary buttons for making selections. The Siri button allows users to make voice requests or perform searches for specific shows or movies. Siri's powers are extensive and can answer questions, switch apps, or control playback with a quick command. The Apple TV is smart enough to offer content from third-party providers, too, such as Netflix and Hulu. The platform is called tvOS and Apple says it will allow developers to use its standard tools to create apps that will run on Apple TV and television sets. The remote can act as a game controller, but so too can existing iPhones and iPods Touch. The Apple TV will cost $149 for 32GB and $199 for 64GB. It will ship in October. Developers can download the associated tvOS SDK and APIs today.
  • Microsoft rolling out new cumulative update for Windows 10 - The latest update KB3081455 is said to contain various fixes and improvements as with all updates but nothing specific about it is known, as Microsoft has decided to not provide detailed changelogs for all updates, only significant ones. To install the update, simply head to the Updates and Security section of Settings from the Action Menu and check for updates. If you haven't been installing any updates so far, this one will have you covered and will get Windows 10 up to speed with the latest patches.

  • Google takes action against ad injectors after 300K complaints - According to a new blog post, Google has decided to fight unwanted and potentially malicious ads that appear on legitimate websites. After receiving nearly 300,000 complaints from users of its Chrome web browser, Google is adding automated filters to DoubleClick Bid Manager to create blacklists. Google owns the DoubleClick technology used by advertisers to manage digital ad campaigns on behalf of websites. Google gives the example of The New York Times, whose website was showing ads the publisher didn't know about. Ad injectors were hijacking legitimate ads and replacing the ones that were originally intended to run on the website. The unwanted ads sometimes contain malicious code presented through Chrome. If the user clicked the wrong button, they could run harmful code. The result of Google's action is a blacklisting of 1.4% of the ad inventory managed through DoubleClick Bid Manager. But the company found that the percentage of injected ads varied wildly across different ad exchanges, with one having over 15% of its ads blocked by Google's new filter.
  • Team manages to crack more than 11 million Ashley Madison passwords - The ease of cracking these passwords shows how important it is not to use the same password for more than one service, which prevents attackers from cracking username/password combinations and using them to unlock other accounts.
  • Data breach exposes 10M health records - New York insurance provider Excellus BlueCross BlueShield recently revealed that hackers infiltrated their computer systems and those belonging to some of its affiliates. The breach put more than 10 million members' personal information at risk. Excellus said it first became aware of the incident on August 5 at which time it notified the FBI and reached out to FireEye's Mandiant incident response division to conduct an assessment of its IT systems. Attackers may have had access to sensitive information including names, birth dates, addresses, Social Security numbers, mailing addresses, phone numbers, member identification numbers, financial account information and claims information. The insurer said it has begun the process of notifying affected individuals. What's more, Excellus will provide those at risk with two years of free identity theft protection services via Kroll and credit monitoring via TransUnion.

  • ZTE Mobley Hotspot Plugs Into Car Data Port - AT&T today announced the ZTE Mobley, a mobile hotspot for cars that connects via the OBD-II port. The Mobley is compatible with most cars model year 1996 and later and turns on automatically whenever the car is on. It can support up to five connected devices in the car via WiFi. The Mobley costs $100 with no commitment, and is also available for $0 down with a two-year commitment. AT&T says it can be added to Mobile Share Value plans for a $10 monthly access charge. Data Connect plans are available, too, which cost $20 for 1GB of LTE 4G data or $30 for 3GB. The Mobley is a simple hotspot and doesn't offer advanced support functions, such as roadside assistance, like those available via the Verizon Hum
  • Sprint's iPhone 6s Includes Carrier Aggregation - Sprint has shared details about its iPhone 6s and 6s Plus launch plans and price points. To start, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will both support carrier aggregation on Sprint's 2.5GHz spectrum (Band 41). Sprint claims cell sites with two-channel 2.5GHz carrier aggregation can deliver peak speeds of 100Mbps. The new iPhones will also include WiFi Calling, a feature already available to some older iPhone models. Sprint is offering the new handsets via its iPhone Forever program. New and existing customers who turn in an old smartphone will be able to lease the 16GB iPhone 6s for $15 per month - a price that undercuts T-Mobile's lease program by $5 and Apple's lease program by $17. Existing Sprint customers who already use the iPhone Forever program (with a 16GB iPhone 6) will be able to keep their $15 monthly payment if they upgrade to the 16GB iPhone 6s by Dec. 31. Sprint is offering to pay the ETFs of customers who switch from other carriers. Last, Sprint said it will open stores at 8am on Sept. 25, the day the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus go on sale, but it will also allow customers who prefer to avoid crowds to take advantage of Direct 2 You.
  • Samsung to cut nearly 10,000 of its HQ staff  - Samsung is preparing to cut 10% of its staff at the company's main headquarters in Suwon, South Korea, according to a local newspaper. The move comes as Samsung's smartphones continue to underperform, resulting in five straight monthly declines in sales and $44 billion being wiped off the company's market value since April. Samsung is said to be targeting almost 10,000 employees in the HQ's human resources, public relations, and finance departments, according to the Korea Economic Daily. The paper added the company also plans to cut some expenses next year. Samsung recently dropped the price of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge after the devices didn't attract the sales that were previously expected. The company's stock raised 1.7 percent in Seoul after news of the cuts was released
  • Google will soon be delivering fresh food in two US cities - Google will begin delivering fresh food and groceries in two U.S. cities later this year, Bloomberg reports. Google Express, which has been delivering merchandise such as dry foods for a while, will partner with Whole Foods Market and Costco to add fruit and vegetables, and more, to their delivery selection. The trial begins in San Francisco and another city that wasn't named in the interview. With this move, Google Express steps into direct competition with other online food deliverers such as Amazon Fresh and Instacart. And, looking at the numbers in the Bloomberg report, it makes sense that they're doing this. Online groceries have become a $10.9 billion industry in the U.S., and it's expected to grow 9.6 percent each year through 2019.

You don't buy a phone every year, do you?

Apple seems to be working on MDM (Mobile Device Management) improvements. Truth to be told, right now, they seem to be the best and most widely used in the corporate world.
- BlackBerry devices are far better than Apple, but people think too little of them -> no volumes.
- All Androids are broken and unsecure; large (huge?) volumes due to being cheap.
- Microsoft - noone wants this, really. Small volumes.
Let's be honest; enterprises can caught up that price every 2-3 years.

Csimbi> You don't buy a phone every year, do you?

Nope :-) But most my clients do. I don't own an iPhone :wink:

You are so full of shit. Christ sakes.

Apple best and most widely used in corporate world. Nice just making up. To my knowledge, it's actually Android and Blackberry. There's lots of stats out there that prove it.

Blackberry better than Apple? SECURITY yes, otherwise NO. Blackberry has jack all for apps. It's a phone with a decent messenger. Blackberry is teetering on going out of business? It's the corporate world keeping them alive. Nobody is running out to buy a BB and they sold/selling off assets as we speak.

Androids broken and insecure? Ya not as secure as Blackberry, but nowhere any worse than Apple who has had is share of security issues. My phone wasn't compromised. Apples were. Androids being cheap? Some of the phones go for $500 plus. Cheap?! No it's providers with packages that get you into a couple years of plan and make the phone cheap. You pay for it in the end.

Apple is a phone for yuppies and newbies who want the same boring shit UI that they can never customize, a phone they are locked into using whatever Apple wants them to use. Apple and Customization don't exist. Windows phones are just crap.

Edit: Took out the swearing, really not necessary.
