The firm should begin testing iOS 10 later in the summer and officially release it in September or October along with iPhone 7.

iOS 10 Control Center Rumors and Release Date

iOS 10 is the future Apple mobile firmware [the latest firwmare being tested is iOS 9.3 beta] that would be launched in the fall 2016. The ‘fruit’ company will start testing this update in the summer. Still there are some rumors about iOS 10 release date and we want to tell you about an interesting concept that recently appeared on the web.

Apple will present the new iOS 10 during WWDC in June. Right now the company is testing iOS 9.3 beta 4 and promises to fix known bugs and return stylus option to Apple Pencil in the next beta 5 update.

4 Inch iPhone Camera Rumors and Possible Smartphone Price

While it is mostly meant for emerging markerts such as China and India customers from other countries should also be able to buy the cheaper handset from Apple.

Some sources mention iPhone 5SE and other say it would be called simply iPhone SE without any numbers. The model could get the powerful A9 processor and Apple Pay support. It won’t come with Touch ID features but the 4 inch iPhone camera with 12MP could still be a wonderful gift from the well-known company.

The device could remind of iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s although some experts think Apple would offer curved 2.5D glass similar to the iPhone 6. This gadget could get Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support, new Live Photos option and other interesting specs.

By the way, the public release of iPhone SE this spring could slash the price on older iPhone 5 by 50%. These are rumors for now but the company could take this step to sell the old phones. Apple has already stopped selling iPhone 5c and iPhone 4s in India and it could stop offering older gadgets in other countries as well.

Galaxy S7 Best Display Award

Samsung has recently announced its new Galaxy S7 lineup and the device hasn’t even gone in for sale yet. The company is planning to begin official sales in early March. Apple is yet to bring the iPhone 5se this spring [iPhone 7 model in the fall] however Samsung managed to already earn Best Smartphone Display 2016 award from Display Mate.

It’s true that both Samsung and Apple [two rivals] get much attention from customers. The two giants release the most popular smartphones in the world. Apple is always happy to attract Samsung customers and persuade them to switch Android smartphone for iPhone. Samsung is glad to do the same and also attract ‘fruit’ fans.

Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 models are two new Samsung models introduced in February. Experts compare the two smartphones to iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus and assure that Samsung doesn’t pay as much attention to details as Apple does. This is what makes the iPhone the most popular among expensive gadgets.

Of course, Samsung did its best to improve everything about Galaxy compared to Galaxy S6 version. Thus it won the Best Smartphone Display award [here is the most popular iPhone size] thanks to all the changes and enhancements it offers.

The new S7 screen is brighter than the display of Galaxy S6. It also consumers less power than previous smartphone. The company improved contrast, color accuracy and created a much better screen than Galaxy Note 5 can offer.

Samsung S7 comes with OLED display that is believed to be better than LCD displays. Apple could offer similar screens in its next iPhone 7 and future smartphones. Still it could happen in 2017 or 2018 and would unlikely happen this year.

Galaxy S7 Compared to iPhone: Samsung Offers Less Details Than Apple

Samsung presented its new Galaxy S7 specs. The smartphone lineup gets two new models in early 2016. Users will be offered to buy Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge starting in March. Apple is also planning to unveil the new smaller 4-inch iPhone 5se and bigger iPhone 7 according to rumors however customers prefer comparing Galaxy S7 to Apple iPhone 6s version.

Apple and Samsung are two rival companies. They both believe that they are borrowing each other’s design and ideas. Some experts think that Galaxy S7 compared to iPhone [AT&T is already testing 5G network] still lacks attention to detail in its design. While the company managed to create one of the best phones among all Samsung smartphones ever released it is still has to learn from Apple before it is on par with the ‘fruit’ giant.

If Apple thinks carefully about each detail and finds right places for all the ports to line up beautifully and even perfectly, Samsung simply adds all the connectivity and charging ports where they fit it its 2016 Galaxy S7 smartphones. This is one of the big differences between Apple and Samsung.

Many customers don’t pay attention at details and love Galaxy S7 specs [expandable storage, wireless charging, Quad HD display, 3D Touch and other options] and new models. Not all users enjoy getting the phone where you cannot add extra storage space. It’s also easier to customize Android phones. Apple pays much attention to iOS security and only jailbreaking can let iPhone users to install interesting tweaks and update everything in their smartphone [it is legal to unlock AT&T iPhone to use it with any SIM card]. Still not all versions of Apple mobile firmware are jailbreakable. For example, Pangu tool can only jailbreak iOS 9 – 9.0.2 and is useless when it comes to iOS 9.1 or 9.2 or 9.2.1 platform versions.

Samsung will always find users who prefer getting Galaxy S7 over iPhone 6s. Apple also has millions of fans across the world who wish to own only the iPhone.

iPhone 7 Stereo Speakers and Dual Lens Camera Rumors

What interesting features and specs do iPhone 7 rumors mention? So many users who are still using iPhone 5c and similar smartphones can’t wait for an affordable and powerful Apple handset release and millions of others who have iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and 6s can’t wait for the powerful and exclusive iPhone 7. The upcoming iPhone 7 model should get more options than the 5se version and this is what attracts many potential consumers.

There are reports about possible iPhone 7 stereo speakers update. Apple is reportedly working with different partners and booking production capacity to produce stereo speakers and other features for its next smartphone upgrade.

We’ve already heard about iPhone 7 dual lens camera option and now there are reports about this gadget getting stereo speakers as well. Apple has about half a year to produce and manufacture the device. It sounds like enough time and still the ‘fruit’ giant has to work with all backend and foundries to get everything ready for public iPhone 7 and 7 Plus release.

The ‘fruit’ smartphone creator could work with numerous companies. The latest reports mention Analog Devices, Cirrus Logic among Apple’s main suppliers for 2016. These firms could supply the company with dual-lens camera components. They could also work on producing speakers for the phone.

It would be interesting if Apple offers stereo speakers in its next iPhone lineup. Would this phone be water resistant or not? Could it get A10 chip or would arrive with A9 or A9X processor?

iPhone 7 Chip Manufacturer Decreases Shipments

iPhone 7 chipset is believed to be produced by TSMC company. However recently the iPhone 7 chip manufacturer had to decrease shipments of the iPhone 6s / 6s Plus A9-series processors for Apple smartphones because of Taiwan earthquake [the company also experiences iPhone 6 error 53 bug].

According to TSMC, the earthquake caused the damage for one of its facilities and this forces the manufacturer to decrease the shipments by over 1 percent. Samsung is also producing processors for iPhone 6s line and Apple could ask this company to ship more while TSMC steps aside because of the new circumstances.

Will the 6.4 magnitude earthquake have an impact on Apple long-term chipset production? TSMC has to indicate this by analyzing all the damage it got in Taiwan in February. The earthquake injured many people and caused 116 deaths.

At first, the company believed that it could restore most of its foundry machines within 2-3 days. But it seems that this wouldn’t work for all Fabs it has. Still TSMC is positive about its revenues because it still targets the U.S. $5.9-$6.0 billion revenue for Q1, 2016. The decrease in iPhone 6s chip shipments [find out what the most popular iPhone size is] shouldn’t affect these plans.

Apple is rumored to let TSMC produce all A10-series iPhone 7 processor parts and the earthquake shouldn’t have an impact on future iPhone supply. So the next iPhone 7 and 7 Plus should get their chipsets on time.

AT&T Testing iPhone 5G Network

iPhone 5G network will soon be offered instead of the current fast 4G LTE. AT&T is already testing the upcoming technology. According to rumors, the 5G should be 10-100 times faster than AT&T 4G. The wireless industry is getting prepared for big changes.

AT&T 5G network testing is officially confirmed by the U.S. carrier. The Big Blue carrier announced that it would start its tests on the new wireless technology in 2016. The mobile operator promises to begin more precise lab tests later this year, most likely in Q2. The field tests are expected to start in the summer.

The future AT T 5G network for iPhone should be spectacular [you can still SIM unlock your AT&T iPhone 6s or any other model if you wish]. Numerous rumors suggest the speeds could be increased up to 100 times if compared to current 4G network. Of course, the reality will be known once the network becomes public which would not happen in 2016. Still consumers are promised to get gigabits per second instead of current megabits. This sounds very exciting.

Other U.S. companies are also starting to test 5G technologies. Verizon Wireless has also confirmed that its tests are to start this year. T-Mobile and Sprint would probably also show their interest in 5G soon. AT&T could roll out the 5G in 2020 and Verizon promises to offer the service sometimes in 2018. Still iPhone users who live in Austin (Texas) could access the fixed points of 5G and give it a try as soon as this year.
