iPHONE 6 RELEASE DATE

Apple is known to do things differently and when it comes to release dates of their latest products, no one can guess it. The latest installment of iphone series iphone 6 is expected to hit the market by September 2014. In this article we're rounding up all of the iPhone 6 rumours. We'll give you all the current information on the release date and specs, filtering the information to help work out which rumours sound most likely.

Apple had used A7 chip set and iOS 7 for iphone 5, so we can assume they are gonna use the same chip set or innovate a new one for the iphone 6. The current A7 chip set is considered revolutionary and pinnacle in designing. Apple's iOS 7 seems promising and reliable to its customers, but looking at apple's image it will surely develop a new OS for the new iphone 6. Apple will aim to keep the OS more user friendly as its previous OS and add extra features. The iOS 7 introduces great new features like Control Centre, AirDrop for iOS and smarter multitasking. It also makes the things you do every day even easier, faster and more enjoyable. All these makes the next installment of iphone more exciting.

The company is intending to design a larger and thinner screen for the successor of iphone 5 and no doubt the camera is sure to blow the minds. We can expect a longer battery back up and improved body work with trademark Apple logo in the back.

The iphone 5 was released in September of 2013, customers are still rushing to buy the phone. keeping this in view company might not release the next installment till the wow! factor around its previous models settle down. When the time is right, the company will call the curtains and release the new phone and it will surely deliver as expected.

Hope all the rumours around the next iphone is settled with this article. If not, when we get hands on the next iphone, we will surely blog about it and clear the rumors around it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 + Gear

First of all, the Note 3 is one of the most gigantic smartphones in the world. It’s ridiculous, and I hate gigantic smartphones. Even handsets like the Galaxy S4 and HTC One are borderline for me. I like having the option to use a phone with one hand and most people simply can’t use these phones effectively without both hands.

The screen on the Galaxy Note 3 is stunning. It’s ridiculously bright, the contrast is outstanding and the clarity is terrific. Color saturation can get a bit intense just as it does on most or even all AMOLED screens, but the pros far outweigh the cons. Carrying the Note 3 is like carrying a beautiful Samsung HDTV in your pocket.

The edges are finished in a shiny, chrome-like plastic with a raised ridge rather than a flat design. The right edge houses the power button, the volume rocker is on the left, the headset jack and an infrared transmitter are on the top, while the bottom edge carries the new Micro-USB 3.0 port for speedier-than-usual data transfer and charging. Samsung supplies a USB 3.0 cable, and the new port is backwards-compatible with existing Micro-USB 2.0 connectors. The Micro-USB 3.0 port is also MHL 2.0 compliant, but you'll have to provide your own adapter cable to take advantage of this.

Samsung has added some interesting usability features to the Galaxy Note 3 that make it a clear step up from its predecessor. Building a larger screen into a smaller, thinner and lighter chassis is an achievement, while the 5.7-inch full-HD sAMOLED screen is a joy to use. Whether what's on offer here is worth nearly £600 (inc. VAT) SIM-free is debatable, but price aside, the Galaxy Note 3 is extremely impressive.
