The reason why Apple was putting services under the spotlight was that its traditional cash cow, i.e., the iPhone, had witnessed marginal growth in Q1 2016 and had actually declined in Q2 this year. But apart from highlighting services, Apple has been taking steps to transform itself into a services company truly. Some of those steps we’ll discuss in this article. 1. iPhone Upgrade Program Although a lot of people feel buying an iPhone is a one-time purchase, it’s a recurring activity in most countries where the iPhone is popular....

Now, the funny folks over at Begeek have taken this further and have extended this comparison to guess what the next 2 revolutionary devices of Apple would be – iBoard and iMat!! Brilliant! Isn’t it?

We thought the feature has finally been confirmed after few beta revisions and it seemed that WhatsApp will be sticking to the Google Drive backup feature for good. Much to our dismay the latest version of the app 2.12.233 had removed Google Drive backup feature. The Google Drive option is no more accessible when we try to backup the chats whereas the previous versions of the application allowed users to backup not only their conversations but also the image and other media (except for video....

Prior to the update one had to use a third party software called SendAnyFile to send any type of file to a WhatsApp contact. WhatsApp has already tested the ability of its beta channel and has only now added it to the latest stable update. As with any other new features, this update is also being rolled out in a staged manner. However, despite supporting all file types, the file size is still limited to the 100MB on the app and for web client users its 64MB....

So, among these, which one should you use? Even I, as of late, have been constantly switching back and forth between these platforms, only to find out that none of them are perfect. All of them have their own sets of drawbacks and cornerstones. But there are a few definite qualities these browsers tend to project and in this article, we try to compile all of them and help you decide which one works best for your needs....

China China is one of the most unique telecom markets in the world. While in most countries, telecom started as a state owned monopoly, private investment was allowed at some of time nonetheless. China though, has never allowed private investment in Telecom. There are three telecom operators in China namely China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom. All three of them are owned and operated by the government. The biggest of them is China Mobile with a subscriber base of around 837 million as of 30th June....

A few years ago, Wi-Fi offered not much use to users, there weren’t that many public hotspots, social networks or cloud storage systems for storing photos, but this has dramatically changed in recent times. Cloud storage is now widely available for everyone to use, social networks like Facebook have encouraged mobile uploads of pictures, video sharing websites like YouTube offers lots of features for uploaders (and even the possibility to make money)....

At Ignite conference earlier this week, Jerry Nixon, a Microsoft Developer Evangelist, said that Windows 10 “is the last version of Windows (so we’re always working on Windows 10).” The company apparently isn’t going to release anymore versions of Windows as instead it plans to keep updating the existing version. — James Croft (@jamesmcroft) May 6, 2015 Nixon’s comment solifies Mary Jo Foley’s report from late last year where she had casually mentioned that Windows 10 will be the last major version of Windows....

The Xiaomi Mi TV 4C features ultra slim 0.9cm black bezels on the sides. This apparently is a notable difference over the Mi TV 4A. The all-new TV comes in two display variants. One rocks a 43-inch display whereas the other features a 55-inch panel. As expected, the smaller 43-inch variant has a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080p) resolution whereas the 55-inch one supports 4K HDR. Internally, the Xiaomi Mi TV 4C rocks a new hardware....

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun took it to Weibo earlier today to showcase the design for its upcoming smartwatch. He added that the watch will come in two color options: Black and Silver. In addition, Mijia, one of Xiaomi’s sub-brands, also revealed the design on Weibo, which showcases the watch from a different angle, highlighting the presence of a 3D curved glass on top and a crown on the top-right, along with a mic in the middle and a power button below it....

The 10-bit panel is made by Samsung and has a 85% NTSC color gamut coverage. MStar 6A928 SoC with four Cortex A17 CPU cores clocked at 1....

We got the Iris Purple edition of the device and well, we have had queries about it whenever we have left it back upwards on the table. Not only is that shade unique, the glass back actually seems to change color as light falls on it from different angles, morphing from blue to purple at times. This is easily the most striking device we have seen for a while, and goes right alongside the red OnePlus as a head turner, although we doubt the black edition of the phone will attract as much attention....

Retina display? Check. USB Type-C? Check. Touch ID? Check. Slimmed out bezels? Check. The design is mash-up of the new MacBook Pros and the good-old MacBook Air with a tapered base. It’s a full retina display which is a HUGE markup to the old MacBook Air, but not True tone like the new MBP. Glossy LCD with sRGB color spectrum can be a disappointment for some. It’s still 13.3-inch screen, but cutting down of bezels and some ports (more on that later) has led to a smaller footprint, and it is now 17% lesser volume than before and a quarter pound lighter....

Lite-On developed the Smart Erase technique to give users a reliable way of erasing the data on CDs and DVDs without damaging the disk. This technique is compatible with all CD-R and DVD-R disks, not only their rewritable counterparts. Smart Erase overwrites the data contained on the disk with random characters much like the tools that can erase files or the free space of a hard drive so that the data is not recoverable afterward....
