iPhone 2016 is one of the smartphones having so many stories so far. However, this iPhone may not be as impressive as we thought. Because this is not the Apple upgrade year.
iPhone 2016: don’t expect too much
Everyone is expecting to see the next generation of iPhone from Apple, especially the iPhone’s fans. This iPhone 2016 is expected to have many new features like dual camera, water resistance, and non-physical home button. However, you shouldn’t expect too much in this new product. According to Wall Street Journal, this US company will go with the traditional iPhone cycle of 2 years. That means the new iPhone launched on this year won’t have anything special compared to iPhone 6s.
iPhone 2016 is believed to remain the same feature as its predecessor. It will sport a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display. The difference we might gonna see in this new iPhone is the remove of a headphone jack. This elimination will make the device even thinner. Instead of that, there will be a Lightning-to-3.5mm connector. Lenovo’s new Moto Z has the same connector. One more noticeable feature you will see on this phone is its water-resistant improvement.
With the upgrade cycle, the 2017’s smartphone is gonna be amazing. So, you might ask that why release a new one on this year. Well, this is probably because Apple will have the higher sales on the holiday. Or maybe the company plans to spare something special to 2017. This year is the 10-year anniversary of iPhone, so it just can’t be iPhone 7. Something particularly extraordinary will come out.
iPhone 2016: release date
So, 2017 is the year of iPhone which we’re all waiting for. Despite that, iPhone 2016 is still one of the most expecting smartphones at this time. So, all we need to do is wait until the day it’s launched. iPhone 7 launch is said to be in the early September. Let’s see what this new product brings us!
Smartphone with a big battery is always a hot item. There are so many OEMs stepping into this market. So, who’s gonna be the winner in the long battery life smartphone battle ?
Long battery life smartphone: Samsung vs Sony
Smartphone battery is one of buyers’ most interests. This is in the top reasons for smartphone choice. That’s why many smartphone manufacturers focus on this feature. There’ve been many companies releasing their phones with big batteries. Let’s see which brand has the most impressive battery life so far. A survey of smartphone battery life was conducted in the last three years by Phone Arena team.
As you can see from the chart, Samsung and Sony are the two highlight companies offering the best battery so far. However, Sony has the unstable frequencies due to the 6-month upgrade cycles. In the early of 2013, its average cell is just 300 minutes, but at the end of 2014, this cell is up dramatically thanks to Xperia Z3. And after that, it falls again with the Xperia Z3+ and Xperia Z5, and go up again with Xperia X.
Among the three others big names: iPhone, HTC, LG and Motorola, HTC’s battery capacity seems to be the most stable with the growth rate from 350-425’. However, the company doesn’t have any breakthrough. Moto X is in the same case as it can’t pass the number 400. The big brand from the US has a battery improvement after being complained. With the average cell of 500 minutes, iPhone has even passed the Galaxy S lineup. LG can’t follow the success of LG G2. LG is on the lowest level in the top 5 big brands.
Long battery life smartphone: Sony is crowned
So, Sony and Samsung is the two best battery phones so far. The most highlight of Samsung is the Galaxy Note series. The battery of this lineup continues to raise. Generally, Sony still surpasses its rival from Korea for the last two years despite being not stable.
iPhone 7 is expected to arrive later this year along with many upgraded specs. Today, we’ll bring to you a summary of all iPhone 7 specs that have been revealed. Let’s get starting!
All iPhone 7 specs have been leaked until now
Apple has announced that iPhone 7 will come in three variants: iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone 7 Pro. In comparison between iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 Pro, the Pro version seems to be better. According to Apple plan, they will launch the basic version iPhone 7 before other premium versions. And of course, Apple will adopt optical zoom ability to its new flagship. This function allows the camera to zoom extremely into the target.
The basic version of iPhone 7 will have 2GB RAM and 4.7-inch iPS LCD screen, which is the same as its predecessor. However, other iPhone 7 variants will offer a brand-new feature of Apple: the physical home button will be replaced by a touch-sensitive one. iPhone 7 Plus is powered by 3GB RAM paired with three options of ROM: 32, 128, 256GB. This version also comes with a 5.5-inch LCD screen, which has 1080×1920 resolution. The other version – iPhone 7 Pro, is similar to the “Plus” version, but it has a greater camera.
The significant change comes from iPhone 7 Pro camera. First up, iPhone 7 Pro will be supported by dual-lens, which is the latest technology from Apple. Besides, Apple confirmed to use LG sensor for its iPhone 7 camera. As recent reports, iPhone 7 Pro will also have a powerful optical Zoom capacity.
iPhone 7 price could be a nice surprise!
This time, Apple could bring a new fresh to its new flagship with more colour option, including Deep Blue. So, there might be some versions of this colour such as blue/dark grey mix. At present, Apple is planning to decrease all Apple iPhone Price. So, we can expect iPhone 7 will NOT be overpriced. It may be at around $600 for the basic version. Meanwhile, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 Pro may drop at $800 and $900. As for iPhone 7 release date, it will launch first in the USA in mid-August. Then, the device might come to Global market in September
Many people say that their iPhones run out of cell so fast, especially the old iPhones. But they don’t know that they’re one of the reasons for their draining- battery iPhones. More specific, the ways they charge them.
1+2. Letting the phone die and fully charge it
We usually have a habit in fueling our phone fully. Some even charge them from zero to 1oo%. However, it’s not a good way to maintain the iPhone battery strong. A battery can be full from 0 to 100% about 300 to 500 times before it expires. This full charging thing can cause stress to the battery and reduce its life. But if you just charge the phone from 0 to 50%, that battery can go through 1,200 to 1,500 times of charging.
To keep your iPhone battery long life, don’t let your iPhone get to the low battery. You should fill it when the battery left is about 30%. And then, charge it to 80%. That’s a level where the battery is most comfortable and effective. This can help you to triple, or even quadruple the recharge time. So, stop charging your cell overnight. Instead of that, charge it shorter and more frequently.
Everybody loves iPhone but not all of them can afford it. In that case, many people opt for a used iPhone, which is much cheaper. So here are 5 iPhone tips for you to make sure you buy a cheap but GOOD used iPhone!
iPhone Tips: Check the phone’s security system!
Since iOs 7, Apple has established a strong security system for iPhone users to make sure they don’t lose their data or get tricked. So first, you need to verify the IMEI number from both the body and software. This is a very important iPhone tip to make sure you don’t buy an iPhone with an replaced body! You can see the IMEI number. On the back of your iPhone. Then, compare it with the IMEI number in the OS. You go to Settings => General => About and you will see the IMEI number at the bottom. If both number are the same, you can move to the 2nd step.
Second, make sure the Activation Lock is not stolen! To be clearer, if the iPhone you’re purchasing has “Find my iPhone” turned on, you won’t be allowed to do anything UNLESS you know the Apple ID of the previous owner! So there are two iPhone tips to avoid that: 1/ If the iPhone you buy is still operational, go to Settings => iCloud and turn off “Find my iPhone”; 2/ If you can’t do anything, go to icloud.com/activationlock and type in the IMEI number then you will know if the device has enabled Find my iPhone or not. So again, make sure the “Find my iPhone” is OFF, or you MUST know the Apple ID of the previous owner.
Third, make sure the IMEI is not blocked! This is a very easy iPhone tip! There is a free online tool to check if the IMEI number of the phone you’re buying is on the global blacklist! Go to swappa.com, fill in the IMEI number and wait a little while to see the result. If the iPhone is on the blacklist, DONT buy it! Because it must have been stolen from its real owner.
iPhone Tips: Take care of the data and the warranty
The forth iPhone tip you need to do is erase all the data of the previous owner. You need to unlink the current owner’s Apple ID from Settings -> iCloud (that’s why I said that you MUST know the previous ID). Then, you go to General => Reset => Erase All Content and Settings to remove all date from the iPhone. Last but not least, you should check if the phone is legit. You can go to checkcoverage.apple.com and fill in the serial number of the iPhone you’re buying. If you can go to next page, that phone is legit. The serial number can be found on the back of the phone. By this, you will also know the phone’s warranty period and purchase date.
iOS 10- a whole brand new OS of Apple. This OS will come with a bunch of new features like new lock screen, Message app with emoji entry, new Siri. However, there are some characteristics you might not know about iOS 10. We’ll bring you 7 features!
1. Live Photos stabilization
We all love Live Photos. It’s a brilliant idea. However, the animations you make will turn into a mess because of the shakiness. It’s not cool at all when you put your efforts and have a bad result. That’s the reason why Google came up with a Motion Stills app to fix this problem. It stabilizes your Live photos and makes them clearer.
And now, with the new OS, Apple also equipped with this feature. Right before ending the presentation, there was a slide with many new features. And a tagline “Live Photos stabilization” showed up. So, we expect that this characteristic is gonna be great. At least it will perform as Google app produces.
Apple iPhone 4SE is the most unexpected smartphones to many of us. Little did we look forward to it – yes – but the phone definitely has a beautiful and stunning design
Apple iPhone 4SE – super slim body
In August, we will finally meet the long-awaited iPhone 7 with three different variants. Besides that, there seems to be another beautiful Apple device: iPhone 4SE. According to some reports, iPhone 4SE will make its first debut later this year, probably a bit after iPhone 7. iPhone 4SE as we know for now has the potential to become the best 4-inch iPhone on the market.

The device comes in three options of internal storage: 16, 32, and 128GB. iPhone 4SE is available in white, black, gold or rose gold. You can still find an audio jack together with a USB Type-C port.
iPhone 4SE design has a very familiar feel to that of iPhone 4s, with a more premium and modern front side. However, iPhone 4SE has a bigger 4-inch screen while the 4s has just a 3.5-inch one. Moreover, the iPhone 4SE screen (6.3mm) is slimmer than that of iPhone 4s (9.3mm). iPhone 4SE camera will also be more enhanced compared to its sibling.
Apple iPhone 4SE – Expected to make a hit in 2016
Apple could bring the Apple iPhone 4SE to smartphone market later this year. As for iPhone 4SE price, it’s predicted to be cheaper than its siblings. The 16GB version is expected to cost around RM. 1150 while the 32GB and 128GB might cost RM. 1350 and RM. 1750. Are those enough to make iPhone 4SE a huge hit in later 2016?
We have heard a lot that the newest phone of Apple this year will have a dual camera. However, you might not know that this phone will also have the optical zoom capacity. With this feature, iPhone 7 Pro can be able to compete with compact cameras.
iPhone 7 Pro camera: optical zoom capacity
iPhone 7 Pro is one of the most expecting smartphones in this year. And now this phone can even become hotter with the special camera feature. Recently, there have been many high-end smartphones equipped with dual camera specs. Huawei P9 is a typical example. And of course, Apple will adopt this feature to its new flagship. You can be even more surprised to know that iPhone 7 Pro will also have the optical zoom ability.
According to Japanese Nikkei, 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Pro is gonna be added a powerful optical zoom feature. With this phone, the zoom lens will be placed vertically along the body of the phone, instead of horizontal. This will retain the thinness of the phone. With these cameras, the Apple new phone will give you clearer and brighter images. You can even refocus the image after taking a shot.
One more surprise about the new phone from Apple is its color. We usually see the iPhone in some familiar colors like gray, gold and their variants like Silver, Space Gray, Rose Gold…This time, Apple is bringing a new fresh to its new flagship with the blue color: Deep Blue. So, there might be some version of this color, say, blue/dark gray mix.
iPhone 7 Pro camera: the biggest rival to Galaxy S7 ?
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is now the smartphone with the best camera in the market. However, iPhone 7 Pro camera might take this title from Korea giant with dual camera paired with optical zoom. iPhone 7 Pro launch could probably be in the US this fall.
iOS 10 will be the next generation OS of Apple devices, which has been confirmed to come soon later this year. Here are what you need to know about this latest Apple Operating System.
iOS 10 will come soon this year
Let’s see some new iOS 10 features. iOS 10 enable “dark mode” on an iOS device. This is the significant change in the new iOS. Besides, Apple has confirmed that iOS 10 users will be able to hide preinstalled apps. The current version of iOS doesn’t support dark mode. However, Mac users can access a special system setting that changes the menu bar and application dock from light gray to black. The option for “dark” graphics equipped with OS X 10.
In terms of iOS 10 features, Apple may introduce a new Siri SDK-an asistant of iPhone. The new Siri SDK allow iPhone to interact with third-party apps in new ways. So, developers will be able to build Siri completely into their apps. iOS 10 also allow Siri to access data and perform many interesting tasks within apps. Besides, third-party app has the potential to expand what Siri is capable and could make the Siri assistant become more powerful as Google Now.
Let’s see the development through other iOS versions. Firstly, iOS 7 introduced a new design while iOS 8 introduced new features like Continuity, Apple Pay, and new app abilities like extensions. Next, iOS 9 included an updated Siri, which improves search capabilities. supports multitasking screen in iPad and brings optimizations to keep battery health and performance.
iOS 10 release date
Regularly, Apple announces its new generation of iOS in June at the WWDC event, together with the launch of new iPhones in the following September. So, we expect that iOS 10 release date will be available for consumers in September 2016 before the iPhone 7 is released. This is about three month and long enough for developers to fix any bugs and upgrade any new features to their third-party iOS apps. So, let’s wait for that.

Apple iPhone 7 is said to be coming soon this H2 21016. And recent reports are hinting another version to be released along: iPhone 7 Plus with 3GB RAM and…
iPhone 7 Plus: 3GB RAM and huge ROM
According to latest sources from China’s Weibo micro blogging site, Apple will keep equipping 2GB RAM for the base variant of iPhone 7. In addition to that, there seems to be an iPhone 7 Plus version with a bigger RAM, and of course, bigger ROM. That being said, the Plus smartphone by Apple will be a 5.5 inch phablet that is powered by 3GB RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage.
To wrap it up, iPhone 7 will offer 2GB RAM with 3 different ROM options: 16GB, 64GB and 128GB. iPhone 7 Plus 3GB RAM will also have 3 different built-in storage variants: 32GB, 128GB and 256GB. Of course, none of these is expandable, as Apple still says No to microSD card slot. There is also hints of an improvement for iPhone 7 camera sensors: with a bump from 12MP straight to 21MP on the rear.
Also on Weibo, other articles also mentioned that, Apple is working to enhance Wi-Fi connectivity for 2016’s iPhone models. This will enable faster internet connection and allow the phone to run 4K video streaming. Though there is no word about the battery yet, both versions of the new iPhone 7 will come with wireless charging feature.
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus: cheap is … out of the question
While no word has been mentioned about iPhone 7 and iPhne 7 Plus price, we all know that an Apple phone will not be at all affordable, not to mention cheap. However, with their popularity and proven quality, many of us are still very excited for the iPhone 7 release. How much are you predicting these beasts will cost?
Apple is sprinting up to get ready for their iPhone 7 release in H2 2016. As the big day is coming closer, the company has just finalized an interesting decision
iPhone 7 line up: no 16GB ROM being produced
It is such a common knowledge that Apple iPhone never comes with a microSD card slot to expand their in
ternal storage. Therefore, users can rely only on their built-in ROM to store files and media. Knowing that, Apple has finally decided that its time to say good by to their low configuration – 16GB ROM. Instead, this variant will be replaced with a 32GB capacity, offering more space for their future iPhone 7 users.
The reason for this change is that, iOS updates are getting heavier and heavier, and with too small free space, it is hard to get the upgrade and run smoothly. Especially when rumors are saying that, iPhone 7 will have very condensed retina Apps and high resolution musics, as well as an upcoming streaming Video service. We even think that, with these configurations, maybe even the 32GB ROM is not far from enough.
However, many users are saying that, for a long time now, the 16GB model has been the most popular, thanks to its affordable price. Such removal of the “budget” variant will likely cause a great decline in the amount of iPhone 7 bought worldwide? Or will it even boost the sales stronger for meeting up with public’s demands?
iPhone 7: 32GB ROM is “just enough”
Apple iPhone, despite being the forever controversial topic in our smartphone market, always succeed in making a great hit whenever launched. Prior to the official iPhone 7 release date, Apple has been hinting a lot of interesting news about their flagship. The fact that iPhone 7 will soon kill out 16GB ROM variant is only making the topic more and more appealing to smartphone users worldwide.
