The Fall Of The Apple Inc.

So far this year has been nightmare for Apple Inc., Although Apple tried to put a strong stand when in early 2016 it confirmed it's First Off-Shore Development Centre* to be established in India. But in truth Apple has ever since been drowning.  Recently in my previous posts I explained what Decisions Apple Have Made Wrong* And How Google Will Knock Down Apple*. 

When Apple launched iPhone 6 it was said to be the highest selling product from Apple in one week of launch, but soon after reports from users came pouring about how bad quality was delivered at such a steep price. Apple's image took a serious hit. The economy of Apple sunk to a new low which the company has never seen before, so Apple decided to bring New Policies For Damaged iPhone* which they thought would make customers trade their old iPhone for iPhone 6. 

Meanwhile Investors started pulling out and then came the battle of ages, apparently Apple decided to get in ring with Uncle Sam. Like they already hadn't had enough shit. Now company's so called another "FLAGSHIP" is rumored to loose it's audio jack. Yes, iPhone 7 Might Not Have Audio Jack*, which again made it's loyal customers a bit angry. Now it's confirmed that company has decided to cut iPhone production by 30%. I Mean Come on 30% . And on top of it now a Florida Sheriff is Out for Tim Cook*. Basically Apple is tacking hit where ever it can and being brought down by their CEO.

Sheriff Out To Get Tim Cook Once He Gets Green Signal

Sheriff Grady Judd has made it very clear that he is on the side of FBI on the matter of Privacy in a recent press conference. He openly taunted Tim Cook when he said “I can tell you, the first time we do have trouble getting into a cellphone, we’re going to seek a court order from Apple.  And when they deny us, I’m going to go lock the CEO of Apple up.” And promised "I'll Lock The Rascal Up".

And he is right to be angry, I Mean What would be the importance of privacy without safety, would you rather die then to unlock your phone ??? And who is trying to invade your privacy " your government" right ?? Why ??? Because they wanna make COUNTRY SAFE.   

iPhone 7's Audio Jack Removal.....Rumor or Truth

It's been few days since rumors about Apple iPhone 7 are bursting on internet, one of which has got a lot of peopled to believe it's true. The rumor is that iPhone 7 will have no Audio Jack. I said it's rumor because it hasn't yet been officially made clear, but to the best of my knowledge this rumor is backed by leaks and sources. Considering the rumor to be true I took a short Google+ Poll, and around 68% of people believed it to be a really bad  move from Apple. What you think ... Let us know through poll. a

Jammu Is In Pakistan And J&K Is In China ....According To Twitter.!

The recent glitch in Social Networking Site - Twitter places location of Jammu in Pakistani Territory while placing J&K in the border of China. 

This is a glitch that should be corrected ASAP... Twitter should be embarrassed to make such a mistake as it technically placed a part of one nation into another.... are the researchers and analyzers of twitter dumb or just incompetent to have not noticed this first hand and correcting it? 

Share this tweet around and make tweets so as to let them  and every other person know that

 J&K Are Proudly Located within The Border Of REPUBLIC OF INDIA  ...

Qualcomm Unveils Three New Snapdragon

Qualcomm has made an announcement regarding the launch of 3 new Snapdragon processors. Snapdragon 425, 435 and 425 are said to provide premium user experience. These Chips will be able to support LTE, 802.11 ac, and Qualcomm Trusignal Tech. that works to improve the quality of calls.

Apple's First Off-Shore Tech. Development Centre To Open In India

Following in the foot steps of Tech. giants Google & Microsoft, Apple has decided to enter the territory of India. It's been believed that Apple will open it's Technology Development Center some time in June, 2016 which is hoped to be fully functional by the end of the year.

Though a decade ago Apple had a Tech. Support Centre located in Bangalore,India which was closed due to poor quality of services. So far Apple has kept its operations regarding Tech, Development strictly inside the border of United States Of America. 

This would be a big step for Apple as it's company's first offshore development center. The Apple's  first Off-Shore Technology Development Centre will open in Hyderabad, India at a site of  250,000 sq,ft of land.The whole project is believed to cost $25 Million, Approx. over Rs.150 Crore (vary with currency exchange rate). The Tech. Development Centre is anticipated to generate nearly 4,500 jobs for locals. Major IT companies like Infosys,  Wipro & Microsoft are among who already has a setup in IT Corridor.

Being building it's first Off-Shore Development Centre, it's safe to say that the California-Based Multinational  Tech. Development Company must have exercised all it's resources and research so as to decide where it is that a center should be set-up. The decision of building in India is a very calculated & smart move. India is one of the most highly populated developing country in the world,  meaning the cost of labor/employee is cheap comparatively, competition is higher as the population of youth is more and all in all  India has always been known for it's innovations and inventions,Whether it'a Zero or Wireless Communication or even Binary Code even in the Ink.   

Apple's New Policy For Damged Iphones

It's been a while since apple has been buy damaged products in exchange for credit from it's customers.The reason for buying damaged products was to repair them and sell them back in market under a banner "Refurbished", these refurbished goods are so to speak are second hand and were damaged(at one point) but are repaired to it's fully functionality status and resold and cut-price. This Marketing strategy was successful as it made it affordable for a lot of people to purchase refurbished good and enjoy the same material at lower price.  

Apple Inc. was happy as it was now able to target the class which otherwise wouldn't buy expensive products and it made customer happy cause now they can have the same thing but only is refurbished for lower rate as a result Apple Inc. sales went up.

Apple Inc. set certain guidelines for buying damaged products and assigned credit accordingly.But Apple Inc. Sales have taken a hit and investors are worried if the effects will be long-term. So Apple renewed the guidelines for Iphone. Previously If one had an Iphone with working Display, Camera and buttons he could get a credit upto $350 and then credit value falls as the damage increases. But since the hit on sales of Iphone Apple seems to have renewed these guidelines so as to make it easy for customer to exchange or upgrade to new models, as of this moment I don't have specifics to new guidelines but be on the lookout if you make up your mind to buy an Iphone or wanna upgrade to new one .

Twitter And Terrorism

Twitter has started recognizing Terrorism related accounts, and so far it has suspended over 1 Lakh accounts which are believed to have been associated with terrorism.Most of these accounts are said to be operated from Pakistan and Afghanistan with main objective to recruit people for terrorism.   

Apple And Samsung Turns Friends From Arch Rivals

Apple and Samsung are now collaborating as in August 2014, Apple's Chief Tim Cook agreed to begin winding the patent suits with samsung down.In the past there had been a war between these two companies over patents which was started by Steve Jobs, as usual war always cause damage of collateral nature. Both companies suffered losses in legal battles.

Now Samsung and Apple teams up to climb higher in the business of technology.Samsung will now manufacture the main chip for the next iPhone and the displays for other devices of Apple.With collaborating with Samsung, Apple now has access to one of the biggest chip manufacturing operations in the entire world.

But with Google planning to make Project Ara fully functional in 2016 it would be hard to say who will hold the future of smartphones.Read more about Project Ara in the link below

Android Lollipop 5.1 Rolling Out

It's been a week since google started rolling out much awaited android lollipop 5.1. I took a poll recently on my social account and i learned that 49 % of voters out of 1,179 voters are currently using lollipop 5.1. So for those who don't own Nexus line up it's safe to say that  Android Lollipop 5.1 is around the corner. the version 5.1 is a lot better than version 5.0  or 5.0.2 as a lot of bugs have been fixed and a little useful changes had been made to make the interface more interactive.

Apple's Best Ever Invention Isn't iPhone Or iPad....!!

The Only History That Is Worth A Tinker's Damn Is The History You Make Today.  ~ Henry Ford

On January 9, 2007 . Steve Jobs launches the first ever Apple's Device , whose main aim was to converge three basic functions of any electronic device namely Music Player,Phone and Internet Browsing. It was named iPhone and ever since iPhone has been one of the best in the field of smartphones,But when I say Apple's Best Ever Invention it's not iPhone I'm talking about or Macintosh(1984) or Apple 1(1977) . I Remember Watching on youtube The Keynote Address held at the Macworld Conference & Expo, There Steve Jobs quoted Alan Kay "People Who Are Really Serious About Software Should Make Their Own Hardware".  With the launch of iPhone Apple made a major breakthrough in the Electronic World, but as we know Every hardware needs a software so as to make it user friendly , and so Apple introduced its own "OS X (now Known To Us As IOS)" . IOS which form my point of view is the best ever invention of Apple.

OS X the very first version of IOS  was introduced with First Gen Iphone,ever since their had been 8 versions of IOS till date. OS X had a lot of features that were never seen before working so efficiently on a mobile device.Feature such as Visual Voicemail,Multi-Touch Gestures, HTML Email,Threaded Text Messaging & Youtube.

Visual Voicemail:

This feature was first introduced effectively in First Gen Iphone.This feature allowed user to randomly access a voicemail from the list of messages to playback, it may include a transcript of message. On August 2011 Apple was granted confirmation of patent on "Voicemail Manager For portable Multifunctional Device" .

Multi Touch Gestures:

Multi Touch is the ability of a surface to recognize the presence of more than one points of contact with the surface, Gestures are the action/path followed by the pointing device on any particular surface. So Multi-touch Gestures is basically an ability to direct an action of a device through its surface by the use of one or more pointing devices.

HTML Email:

HyperText Markup Language Email is the type that allows formatting of text,insertion of art.Formatting tools such as Bold Italic Underline etc. and art such as image or any other visual effect.

Threaded Text Messaging:

This is one the most adopted feature in field of communication. It's Conversation-like display of messages between the sender and receiver.

Youtube:

Apple devices before Iphone didn't had capability to play videos via web,Youtube was introduced in First Gen Iphone so as to allow users to view videos on Youtube.

Over the years IOS has evolved drastically and it isn't just one of the best but also known as the most addictive user interface,apparently people who once get the hang of IOS doesn't like operating any other OS. The latest version of iOS is iOS 8. With every new version of IOS new features were added,bugs/issues were resolved, interface was made better and attractive and the OS was made faster.

Everything has it's pros and cons so does Apple's iOS. It's brilliant, amazingly designed, effectively fast responsive, user friendly but it restricts you in a lot of ways too. iOS doesn't allow file sharing that easily which in this era is one of the most important feature needed to connect to people, there are third party applications like Xender that lets you transfer media from iPhone but it would've been nicer if iOS had actually made sharing easy. Some Apple devices are only compatible to  limited formats of media like iTunes and do not support any other format which is a bit frustrating sometimes when a user has to convert every single media file so as to be able to play it on device. Even with these two major drawbacks iOS has made iPhones and iPad  major devices in the field of smartphone.

Imagine Your Iphone or iPad without iOS......you can't..right? So isn't it a fact that IOS made the devices(Iphone & iPad) what they are today?

Android Lollipop

June 25,2014 The world's Search Giant Google hosts its annual conference known as Google I/O in San Francisco, California.

In this conference an update was introduced named "ANDROID L" for developers from around the globe. It's been believed that this is the best update android has ever seen in its entire history, This being true there's a another truth that statistics said that Android L also has been the most epic fail of Android as well. Android L version 5.0.0 was launched publicly with Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 On October 15th 2014 with Google stating that Android L stands for Android Lollipop and the OTA updates started rolling out as of November 3rd 2014.This update truly is the best update but the only reason it failed to convince users to install it, is because of its lack of testing. Due to lack of testing the update had a lot of bugs which messed up Nexus 5 pretty bad, which was the first to receive update and so the first impression of software to users was very bad.Only after rolling out update to few handsets Google had to hold the update in, as every single source from soak test reported a Memory Bug.It took Google another month to develop a new bug free version coded 5.0.1 but it too failed to amaze the users so they had to move on to another version coded 5.0.2 . With previous failed updates on Nexus 5 Google took its time to test 5.0.2 on Nexus 5 in their backyard so as to avoid more bad publicity,Meanwhile Motorola pushed out Android Lollipop 5.0.2 to its Moto G 2nd genration in US. As Nexus 5 update never went through Soak Test, It made Motorola Moto G 2nd gen to be the first to officially receive the Android L update.

Features Of Android Lollipop 5.0.2

Android Lollipop didn't just looked beautiful it is also smoother then ever before. Despite of its issues it runs smoothly and feels beautiful.Up until now each Android update has just enhanced/improvised/improved same features but with lollipop they didn't just improved things they also introduced a whole set amazing features.There are a lot of new feature but here I'm just gonna discuss highlights.

1.Material Design:  

The whole user interface of device has been enhanced.Stock Android has a bright theme with white app drawer and colorful appearance of Dialer, Contacts and other default applications of  Android. Calendar is one of the app that has been updated beautifully the whole animation view feels amazing.Notification panel has been made transparent and doesn't takes up whole screen. In all the lollipop is beautiful but still some people wished that they had a dark theme option too.The setting menu that used to be dark has now white background and counter to white background is Cyan color used to represent text and their icons. Every touch on screen triggers a ripple effect which can bee seen in light grey color.The calling screen now has blue card on top that has all the key buttons that are needed for in-call feature and the image of person appears in the bottom of the Blue card.The photo icon in the contacts are now in a circular frame instead of square.

2.Notification:

Notification is the field in which Google just did an amazing job. lets first look at the notification panel. its transparent and takes only the required part of screen when pulled down, another pull on notification will show you somewhat Cyan-Gray colored  tray in which icons of  basic/mostly used settings can be seen. More importantly its adaptive, like if you use some feature of setting on regular basis  than the feature will be added onto the notification panel. up on the notification panel there is a profile pic, battery icon and network icons.

Notifications are now totally in "Google Now Like" cards form. which are smoother. Lock screen has been changed fully to be synced with notifications, now you can see all your notifications on your lock screen and if you choose not to see any notification on lock screen you can manage it all in settings and customize which content to be visible on lock screen.The notification on lock screen can be seen in detail form when pulled down, double tap on particular nonfiction will take you to its responsive app.Lock screen also features Ambient Display option that can be enabled in Settings under display menu,this feature turns on your phones lock screen whenever a notification comes.

A new feature of notification visibility has been introduced, named "Heads-up". it shows notification in card pattern and allows you to keep doing what you doing when notification comes,rather than taking up whole screen. it also allows you to dismiss notification like you dismiss card in Google now and continue with your current application.

Another new feature of Android Lollipop is its priority interruptions setting. With hitting a volume rocker key on home screen a pops up showing a volume scale and underneath it there are three options "None Priority All". you can change and customize your downtime settings and when priority feature is on those downtime settings will be applied,the best thing about it is you can set time for how long you want priority notifications so you won't have to worry about putting your phone on normal mode.

Project Ara...Would it be the last generation of smartphone??

In this age of information, electronics has changed the lifestyles of people around the globe, whether the change is for better or for worse could be a whole other reason for argument. From Desktops that took up a whole corner of a room to smartphone that sits in your pocket, the computing has seen a major revolutionary changes which evolved electronics  from time to time. Microsoft, Apple And Google had been the key players in the field of information. The Google's new PROJECT ARA is believed to create new levels of high. If launched perfectly this project could lead to massive change of course in the market of smartphone. This project seems to have the juice to run all the other smartphone companies out of business. With the recent accusation of MOTOROLA at 12.5 billion dollars and selling MOTOROLA to LENOVO in the end 2014 at  2.5 billion dollars Google made it pretty clear that it has kept all MOTOROLA'S patents, Patents that according to google worth for about 10 billion dollars. Motorola has been the pioneer in bringing dreams to reality, discoveries and inventions are made daily but Motorola has always found a way to practically implement those inventions and making them economically accessible so as to launch products successfully in market. Motorola launched first ever touchscreen phone in '95 so it is safe to say that Motorola did packed a punch when came to patents. Motorola was the one to announce Project Ara In 2013 and since then every company has been trying to get a piece of action in Project Ara so as to survive in the future of smartphone.

Project Ara is Concept to develop modular smartphones that could allow user to handpick the desired configuration for phone rather than to compromise on some levels. Such as some people don't feel the need to have camera in phone so they wouldn't have to pay for camera they can save money. More importantly Project Ara allows to upgrade your phone without having to buy a whole new piece, all you had to do is just buy a required chipset. After a year's use if you feel the need to upgrade RAM of Processor or anything you will not have to buy a whole new mobile all you have to spend on is what you want. Project Ara is believed to be in effect as of end of 2015. Prototypes has been successfully running since end of  2014.

If Project Ara comes out as good as it has been believed to it will change everything, now smartphone could be once in lifetime phone. It could be so affordable that everyone could buy it as per there need. You can buy a simple phone and modify it by high end components or just keep it simple. The choices of hardware will now be in your control. So is it safe to say that Project Ara could be the last Generation of Smartphone or I guess someday in future there could be a better project that might offer new capabilities to the consumer. Still Project Ara will be time stamp and the timeline of smartphone will be divided  in "Before Ara" and "After Ara".
