Microsoft Corporation Hints At Surface Phone

Microsoft has been a company which has had an incredible year when it comes to 2015. The company has been very busy, right from the starting of the year. Microsoft Corporation faced good times as well as troubling issues over the years, and the company emerged quite strong in all the situations. The company has been coming out with some of the best changes in the world of technology, and their focus has especially been towards the hardware in the last quarter of the year. While most of the year, Microsoft was busy crafting the Windows 10 OS and releasing it smoothly, the final few months were dedicated to hardware. The Surface Phone has been around the rumor mills for several months now, and for the first time ever, the company has hinted about it.

While Microsoft is traditionally known to maintain a tight secret around most of their upcoming releases, the Chief Marketing Officer of the company this time around took a different route, as after months of speculation, a first hint has been given towards a ‘breakthrough’ device, which would be the ‘spiritual equivalent’ of a surface phone, as per an interview by Chris Capossela.

Chris was asked a number of questions on the latest episode of Windows Weekly, a podcast managed by Microsoft Corporation themselves. He commented there on the Windows 10 OS preparing a ‘base’ for the Windows Mobiles to take off. He said –
“The more we get a big install base for Windows 10, the better off our phone is… getting 110 million people to upgrade in the first 10 weeks… and in the New Year we’ll probably have more to share on the latest numbers… Just getting the install base to be really large is so critical to getting back to writing windows apps, and it’s really our best shot at phone apps… That is the strategy to getting our developers back in the fold.”

Apple’s iPhone 7 could be thinnest and strongest yet

Even before Apple is set to unveil its much-anticipated update to its line-up of iPhones, the rumors started to fly, suggesting that the technology pioneer is now focusing on producing a thinner, stronger and waterproof iPhone 7.

One of the biggest rumors about the new iPhone 7 is that Apple is planning to remove the device's headphone jack and will instead allow headphones to connect either via a lightning port or Bluetooth in order to make the device thinner than ever.

A lightning port for the iPhone headphones has been speculated since 2012, so users may finally see the rumor come true.

Some reports also suggest that the company is currently negotiating with LG and Samsung, Apple's provider of screens, to make a switch from liquid crystal display (LCD) technology currently used on iPhones, to OLED, leaning on manufacturers such as LG Display.

The iPhone 7 release date is rumored to be in September or October next year, so the company has enough time to work on it.

Another change to the new iPhone is said to be waterproof technology rivals like like Sony, Samsung and other smart phone giants already have waterproof products in the market, Apple simply cannot afford not having its new iPhone waterproofed.

The rumors say that the new iPhone 7 could be waterproofed to IP68 standards. Normally the available smartphones are waterproofed to IP67 standards that means they can resist water for up to 30 minutes and if submerged within a depth of 1 meter only.

Another pirated app service uses Apple enterprise license to distribute stolen software

Word of a fairly well known pirated app service called vShare hit mainstream media outlets on Wednesday as part of a CNNMoney feature, which said the nefarious firm leverages Apple's own enterprise tools to distribute free versions of top paid iOS titles without requiring a jailbreak.

Thought to be run by Chinese owners located in Shanghai, the vShare App Market has officially been in operation since 2011 and is recognized in some jailbreaking circles as a go-to source for free apps. The service recently gained notoriety for compatibility with non-jailbroken iPhones and iPads running iOS 8 and above.

Like other recent pirated app services, vShare is built on Apple's enterprise licensing technology. Designed for corporations or other entities with large iOS device deployments, Apple Developer Enterprise certificates allow license holders to provision their own apps for internal distribution and download.

In the case of vShare, the service used purchased certificates to create a trusted app, available for download via the Web, that acts as a its own illegitimate app store. Security researchers at Proofpoint told CNNMoney that vShare obtained four Apple Developer Enterprise certificates to accomplish the task. Proofpoint has informed Apple of its findings.

As of this writing, attempts to install the vShare app on devices running iOS 8 or iOS 9 proved unsuccessful, suggesting Apple has revoked one or all of vShare's provisioned certificates.

vShare's impact on legitimate app sales is unknown, but today's report notes popular titles like Minecraft: Pocket Edition and Geometry Dash have been "liked" by more than 1.4 million downloaders.

Interestingly, vShare's terms of use includes a disclaimer regarding intellectual property rights, which notes the service will remove any app found to be in infringement of owned properties if provided with appropriate documentation. The terms also state, however, that vShare "assumes no responsibility for monitoring the Service."

Motorola Moto X 2016 news: Device to adopt heat pipe to prevent overheating, fingerprint scanner

Even before 2015 closes, Motorola fans who were impressed by the company's 2015 releases Moto X Play and Moto X Style are already anticipating the launch of the tech giant's newest device.

According to early rumors reported by GSM Arena, the Motorola Moto X 2016 could feature a heat pipe that could maintain the coolness of the chipset even while its operating on full power.

This feature may have been inspired by the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL and the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, which had issues with the overheating of the Snapdragon 810 SoC.

Based on the report, the adoption of the heat pipe may be a precaution against the possible overheating of Qualcomm's next gen chipset the Snapdragon 820, which the new device could use. This will also ensure that there will be no issues that will arise on this front.

It has also been reported by Phandroid that the device will feature a fingerprint scanner which comes at the best time for Motorola.

It can be recalled that the fingerprint scanner was already being considered by the company prior to the development of the Nexus 6. However, it had to forego the idea since at that time, it did not have the framework for the feature.

With the Android 6.0 Marshmallow supporting an API for the fingerprint scanner, it would be more practical for Motorola to adopt the feature. Moreover, it will be easier for users to maximize its use.

The fingerprint scanner is considered a standard feature among the recent waves of smartphones with the advent of Android Pay.

Meanwhile, leaked images of the prototype have indicated that aside from the metal unibody for the Motorola Moto X 2016, there is a redesigned camera housing that is protected by glass. There is also a dual tone flash included.

New Galaxy S7 Leak Confirms Samsung's Design Decisions

The latest news around the Samsung Galaxy S7 comes from case manufacturer DHGate, who are offering a number of low-cost Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Plus cases. The cases are wrapped around (presumably) dummy S7 handsets, and the images match up with
previous leaks around Samsung’s flagship device.


The cases may be listed at under two dollars per unit for wholesale distribution, but the tooling and manufacturing required for these cases does not come cheap. Building cases for unreleased smartphones early is a gamble that the physical information is correct – get it right and you’ll be one of the cases available at launch when people go looking. Get it wrong and you’re left with a lot of stock that not only doesn’t fit the new handset, but rarely fits any existing handset either.

The fact that the case design tallies up with the leaked design schematics that allowed CGI renders of the Galaxy S7 to be created (see Gordon Kelly previously on Forbes) lends more credibility to that previous leak. It would be unlikely that DHGate would commit to tool-making on the basis of a single source of information.

It also confirms that the Galaxy S7 family will continue to follow Samsung’s current design language of strengthened glass on the front and rear of the smartphone, with thin metal edging carrying the buttons and ports around the sides. The plans and the case show the S7 family using microUSB for connectivity and not USB-C, and do not feature any flaps or gaps that would suggest a return of microSD for expansion (although with a number of manufacturers adding microSD cards into the SIM tray in a piggyback arrangement that’s not a definite indicator).

iPhone 8 Rumors: Apple Inc. To Develop Micro-LED Display Technology

Welcome to the iPhone 8 hype cycle. That phone, likely two years away, could get a new screen technology a leap ahead of OLED screens that currently grace the Apple Watch and are expected for the iPhone 7 next year. It's called micro-LED and as the name implies, it uses pixels smaller than those found on traditional LCD and LED-backlit displays.

Apple is expected to focus on developing the technology for its devices in its research and development facility located in Taiwan, according to Digitimes.

The technology also has a number of other benefits such as improved color range, lower power consumption and more pixels packed into the same footprint of a similar sized LCD display, according to Digitimes Research analyst Jessie Lin. Like OLED technology, micro-LED screens don’t require an additional backlight, which can help Apple save room in its iPhones for other technologies or make its devices even thinner. The drawback is it’s difficult to manufacture at the high yield rates needed for mass production.

By developing micro-LED displays, Apple likely will tap the intellectual property and manufacturing knowledge it obtained when it purchased LuxVue Technology in 2014 for an undisclosed sum, according to TechCrunch. It’s not known exactly when it plans to put Micro-LEDs in an iOS device. In the meantime, Apple may also tap Japan Display and Samsung to manufacture OLED screens for its smartphones sometime between 2017 and 2018.
