The official debut of Steve Jobs movie 2015 brings more reviews from people who knew Apple co-founder when he was alive. They call this film brilliant and astonishing and note that it is breaking your heart in a lot of episodes [meanwhile Apple is preparing for iPhone 6s release].

The public Steve Jobs movie release date is planned for this fall. The debut took place at the Film Festival in Colorado. This is the long-awaited release that was written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle. Steve Jobs is portrayed by Michael Fassbender and the first impressions are so high that it’s hard to believe this movie could get the negative reviews from public.

Right now all the Steve Jobs movies review impressions are positive. Experts say this film is brilliant and the portrait of Steve Jobs truly reminds of him in real life. He is shown as the high cost genius and he indeed was often called a genius who led the now-famous Cupertino-based giant to become well-known and one of the most successful companies in the world.

Apple brand is recognized in all countries. Customers are eager to pay more to get the genuine iPhone, iPad, iMac and other ‘fruit’ products. They always get in long lines days before the official release of the new generation devices. The iOS and OS X gadgets are among the top sellers each year.

Sorkin wrote the story about rejected children, absentee fathers and the revolutionary thinker who changes the world. The famous cast [Seth Rogen, Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels] help to support the brilliant idea and implement it into life with a good taste and great performance.

iPhone 6s Storage Options Confirmed

The well-known around the world Cupertino-based company is about to officially unveil its new iPhone lineup. Some experts calls the upcoming handsets iPhone 6s and 6s Plus while other mention iPhone 7. The final name will be presented on September 9th along with all the specs. Before the launch experts confirmed iPhone 6s storage options.

What Apple is going to sell in the fall? According to analysts from KGI, the ‘fruit’ company will offer iPhone 6s capacity of 16GB, 64GB and 128GB. Three versions to choose from and two models should be available in 2015.

There were rumors that iPhone 6s storage size will exclude the 16GB model and instead Apple would offer 32GB, 64GB and 128GB versions. However it looks that these rumors won’t be confirmed next week.

There were also rumors about sapphire lens used for the new gen iPhone rear camera but these reports are not confirmed and might not be true for the ‘S’ line of iOS smartphones. At the same time, there is information about possible 12MP camera that was improved by Apple, more RAM, improved specs and new iOS 9 features. Still the idea about getting 16GB model might not sound too exciting for a lot of customers who like to take a lot of pictures, make videos, store games and apps as well as songs on their iDevice.

Apple should bring Force Touch to iPhones and 5MP front-facing camera. Consumers should be also offered the rose gold version of the device. We also hear rumors about low customer interest to the upgrade with Force Touch. Analysts predict under 73 million handset sales in Q4 2015.

The big introduction even is approaching. The 16GB iPhone 6 could cost around $200, 64GB could be available at $300 and 128GB might cost $400 for contract models. The 6s Plus versions would be about $100 more expensive than the 6s models [for contract devices].

How Thin Is iPhone 7 Compared to iPod Touch

How thick is iPhone 7 compared to the upcoming iPhone 6s and iPod touch? Apple at first was rumored to release iPhone 7 this September however later experts started to call the upcoming generation models iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The new reports and predictions suggest the famous Cupertino company will unveil the next iPhone 7 after iPhone 6s launch.

Of course, users wonder how thin is iPhone 7 compared to the long-awaited ‘S’ lineup and current iPod touch versions. According to Ming Chi-Kuo who is a well-known analyst at KGI Securities, the future iOS smartphone will be even thinner than iPhone 6s which is also believed to be pretty thin. It should to be close to the iPod touch in its thickness and this is really-really thin.

Let’s imagine the thickness of the iPhone 7 in figures. Rumors suggest that Apple will make its future gen models around 6.0-6.5 mm thick. You can compare this to the iPod touch thickness which is 6.1 mm and iPhone 6 / 6 Plus that are 6.9 mm / 7.1 mm thick – and you will realize the upcoming changes.

Remember that the iPhone giant is bringing the new technology to its phones. The Force Touch option is expected to be present in both iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 and even with this additional feature built-in by Apple – the company still wants to make its handsets pretty thin. The release of the iPhone 7 is believed to take place in 2016.

We don’t know that much about the future 2016 iPhone model. It’s curious that Chi-Kuo voices new predictions even before the iPhone 6s was officially unveiled by Apple. The Company is presenting the 2015 versions this week, on September 9th. We’ll soon learn everything about the iDevice that is launched this fall and might be a wonderful gift for Christmas 2015. As for the iPhone 7, we’ll most likely hear more about it during 2016.
