The Korea electronics giant just <a href="http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/news/introducing-samsung-connect-tag,-a-new-way-to-keep-track-of-all-that-matters-in-life" rel="noopener" target="_blank">announced</a> Connect Tag, a small internet-enabled device that tracks location and lasts a week between charges.</span><p style="margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In other words, this is a similar offering to existing electronic tagging devices from the likes of Tile, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/16/lost-item-finder-tile-grabs-another-25-million-in-funding/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">the U.S. startup that pulled in $25 million </a>earlier this year and has picked up nearly $60 million from investors to date.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tile offers more flexibility on form factor but Samsung has gone for the clean white look with the Connect Tag, which measures 4.21 cm x 1.19 cm. The company puts that one-week battery life down to its use of narrowband network technology — a standard that optimizes power usage through more conservative use of data — and it claims its tags are the first of their kind to utilize it.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">On the tech side, Samsung is using a combination GPS, Wi-Fi-based positioning and Cell ID to triangulate a device’s location with accuracy. It also works with Samsung’s SmartThings ecosystem, which means you could set up a geofence around your house, for example, to trigger lights or switch on the TV automatically when you (and your tag) return home.</span></p><div><div class="native-ad-mobile" id="adsDiv3cd9852e41"></div></div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">More standard notification options include a location finder Android app, which pulls up the location at the push of a button, and periodic notifications that keep you regularly informed on the location of a child or, say, a pet when you are at the office or elsewhere.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We don’t have a price yet, but the Samsung Connect Tag will go on sale in Korea first before expanding to other countries “in the coming months.”</span></p>ankurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081939212034715204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646765140459982106.post-44890152996122897732017-10-16T11:38:00.001-07:002017-10-16T11:39:37.366-07:00Apple to appeal five-year-long patent battle after $439.7 million loss<img id="id_35d1_5631_56cb_7845" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ua54aVRj_cI/WeT8RYY-pAI/AAAAAAAAA-U/qHfNMX4Ux_4zYtd1vssBT1sQr2oVYnZdACHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Apple has <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/virnetx-receives-courts-final-judgment-affirming-jurys-verdict-of-120-per-infringing-apple-device-300536936.html" target="_top" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 700;">been ordered</a> to pay $439.7 million to the patent-holding firm VirnetX for infringing on four patented technologies that were apparently used in FaceTime and other iOS apps. While this is the final judgement from the US District Court the case is being argued in, Apple tells <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Verge</em> that it plans to appeal the ruling — continuing this long-running patent battle, which began back in 2012.</span><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2rem;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">VirnetX first filed suit against Apple in 2010, winning $368 million <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2012/11/7/3613578/apple-patent-verdict-texas-virnetx-facetime" target="_top" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 700;">just two years later</a>.

Apple initially <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2016/2/4/10912250/apple-pay-patent-virnetx-facetime-imessage" target="_top" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 700;">lost the suit</a>, then <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2016/2/5/10925124/apple-mistrial-virnetx-patent-lawsuit-imessage-facetime" target="_top" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 700;">filed for a mistrial</a>. It won a new trial, lost that trial, was ordered to pay <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2016/10/1/13130722/apple-been-ordered-virnetx-patent-lawsuit-facetime" target="_top" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 700;">around $300 million</a>, then lost some more and is now having that amount upped even further. That’s because a judge found Apple guilty of willful infringement, bumping its payment amount from $1.20 per infringing Apple device to $1.80 per device. Those include certain iPhones, iPads, and Macs. VirnetX says the ruling is “very reasonable.”</span></p><aside style="box-sizing: border-box;"><q style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.2rem 0px; font-style: italic; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1; border-bottom-width: 3px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(231, 231, 232); border-top-width: 3px; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(231, 231, 232); display: block; padding: 1.2rem 0px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> ALL OF THE PATENTS WERE RECENTLY RULED INVALID</span></q></aside><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2rem;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Apple didn’t issue a statement other than to say that it plans to appeal. While $440 million isn’t a lot of money for Apple, there’s principle at stake here: VirnetX is a patent troll that makes its money from licensing patents and suing other parties. The company’s SEC filing states, “Our portfolio of intellectual property is the foundation of our business model.”</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2rem;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tech giants have been barraged with lawsuits over the years from “patent assertion entities,” which generally don’t make products of their own and instead just sue other companies for money. Sometimes they just settle to put an end to the legal battles, but other times they’ll see them through in an attempt to invalidate patents or make further damage harder to prove.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2rem;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">That could be what Apple is hoping for here. The US Patent and Trademark Office <a href="https://www.bloombergquint.com/onweb/2016/09/09/virnetx-plunges-after-patents-deemed-invalid-in-apple-dispute" target="_top" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 700;">recently invalidated all four of the patents</a>that VirnetX is suing over. But VirnetX can appeal that decision; and until all appeals are decided, the patents remain enforceable, which is why Apple is still on the hook.</span></p><div class="c-related-list" data-cdata="{}" data-cid="site/related_list-1508178550_6950_20580" style="box-sizing: border-box;

These days, manufacturers are inventing new ways to outsell each other, including aggressive price cutting.

Intel's Atom and Celeron processors have evolved to the point that they can support most of your Web browsing and basic productivity needs without being overly slow. The newest integrated GPUs can hold their own in browser-based Flash games and even some online games like World of Warcraft, but meeting the higher demands of AAA titles still requires a discrete GPU, which you won't find in this price range. If money is no object, check out our top-rated <a class="external" href="https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2020688,00.asp" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;">gaming laptops</a>.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.938rem;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Memory (or RAM) is relatively inexpensive now, so you'll find that many budget laptops will come with 4GB of DDR3 memory (though you may be able to make do with less). In terms of batteries, an ideal budget laptop has one with six cells or more. The battery life for a cheap laptop is at least five hours, and these days many can last quite a bit longer.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.938rem;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">When it comes to storage, many inexpensive systems offer up to 500GB of hard drive space. Others, particularly chromebooks and Windows-based chromebook competitors like the <a class="external" href="https://www.pcmag.com/review/351556/lenovo-ideapad-110s" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;">Lenovo IdeaPad 100S</a>, will only have a small allotment (16 or 32GB) of flash storage, but compensate for it with generous offers of additional free cloud storage. But, as with anything cloud-based, you'll need to be online to access it.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.938rem;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In terms of features, budget laptops will come with USB 2.0 ports, and possibly USB 3.0. There may also be an SD slot and 802.11n wireless connectivity, and an HDMI port or a USB-C port are a definite plus. You shouldn't always expect a touch-screen display, however.</span></p><h2 style="line-height: 3.25rem; margin: 0px; -webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased;"><font size="3"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Chromebooks</span></font></h2><div class="row pcm-content" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 1em; padding-bottom: 1em; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(242, 242, 242);"><div class="column hide-for-large-up"><div class="in-content-lazy" id="lazy-1"></div></div></div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.938rem;"><font color="#000000"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a class="external" href="https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2413071,00.asp" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;">Chromebooks</a> used to be glorified netbooks running Google's Chrome OS. While these Chrome OS–based laptops are still Web-centric, they now have a relatively full feature set. If you spend most of your working hours in the cloud, a chromebook will offer you just as much functionality as a regular laptop, and have longer battery life. It will also likely cost you a lot less than other types of notebooks, as many chromebooks cost less than $300. Just be sure you have easy, constant Wi-Fi access, as there is scant local storage on these systems.</span></font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.938rem;"></p><div align="center"><img alt="Asus Chromebook Flip (C302CA-DHM4)" border="0" class="embed" src="https://assets.pcmag.com/media/images/531294-asus-chromebook-flip-c302ca-dhm4.jpg?thumb=y" style="text-align: start; border: 0px; width: 301px; max-width: 100%; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; height: auto;" id="id_6fb4_f5c8_7963_2c37"></div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.938rem;"></p><h2 style="line-height: 3.25rem; margin: 0px; -webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased;"><font size="3"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tablets and Hybrids</span></font></h2><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.938rem;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In recent years, tablets have exploded in popularity, and though we have plenty of reviews of those—take a look at our overall roundup of the <a class="external" href="https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2413145,00.asp" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;">best tablets</a>, as well as our favorites running the <a class="external" href="https://www.pcmag.com/roundup/310159/the-best-windows-tablets" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;">Windows</a> and <a class="external" href="https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2483566,00.asp" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;">Android</a> operating systems—those are sufficiently different enough from traditional clamshell-style laptops that we're not covering them here.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.938rem;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">They are, however, an important part of a new category that has also emerged: the laptop/tablet hybrid.

This is the reason why we have such an awkwardly placed fingerprint sensor on the <a href="http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-4009" target="_top" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(218, 0, 0);">Samsung Galaxy S8</a> and <a href="http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-4261" target="_top" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(218, 0, 0);">Galaxy Note 8</a> and possibly why Apple ditched it all together, well, because there’s no excuse for poor design in Jony Ive’s books. However, this could all change next year as we’re already hearing plenty of rumours that 2018 flagship phones will sport an under-display fingerprint sensor, the latest of which points to the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Another report tips some of the features of the Samsung Galaxy S9.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 30px; line-height: 1.6;">Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst with KGI Securities, is doing what he does best once again and has <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Samsungs-next-Galaxy-Note-phone-may-have-a-key-feature-that-Apple-reportedly-had-to-drop-from-the-iPhone-X/articleshow/60987233.cms" target="_blank" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(218, 0, 0);">now stated</a> that Samsung’s next Note flagship may have such an “under-display optical fingerprint” technology when it launches in the second half of 2018. This was also reported <a href="http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/samsung-galaxy-note-9-in-screen-fingerprint-scanner-galaxy-s9-1734550" target="_top" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(218, 0, 0);">back in August</a> this year through another report from KGI Securities. With smartphones slowly ditching bezels altogether, this would be the ideal solution if manufacturers were to continue using fingerprint sensors for authentication.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 30px; line-height: 1.6;">However, it appears to be a little more trickier to implement than it seems and companies have been trying to take a crack at this for a while now, in the hopes to achieve a formula that the industry adopts. Last May, LG developed a fingerprint sensor that <a href="http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/lg-unveils-fingerprint-sensor-that-sits-under-a-smartphone-display-832530" target="_top" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(218, 0, 0);">sits under the display</a> and this year, at MWC Shanghai, Vivo <a href="http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/lg-unveils-fingerprint-sensor-that-sits-under-a-smartphone-display-832530" target="_top" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(218, 0, 0);">unveiled the first smartphone</a>with a under-display fingerprint sensor based on the technology developed by <a href="http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/tags/qualcomm" target="_top" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(218, 0, 0);">Qualcomm</a>.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 30px; line-height: 1.6;">The new reports states that there are three companies vying to be the supplier to Samsung, of which, BeyondEyes and Samsung LSI have already reported to have shipped samples to Samsung. Egis is another company in the running, who currently supplies fingerprint sensors for Samsung’s phones. Kuo believes that the under-display sensor might just be a stop-gap till <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Samsungs-next-Galaxy-Note-phone-may-have-a-key-feature-that-Apple-reportedly-had-to-drop-from-the-iPhone-X/articleshow/60987233.cms" target="_top" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(218, 0, 0);">Android OEMs can figure out</a>how to match or exceed Apple’s Face ID implementation on the iPhone X.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 30px; line-height: 1.6;">With rumours coming in hot for the Galaxy Note 9, let’s not forget Samsung’s bread-and-butter flagships, the Galaxy S-Series. <a href="https://www.sammobile.com/2017/09/29/galaxy-s9-firmware-development-two-models-confirmed/" target="_blank" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(218, 0, 0);">SamMobile</a> has now reported that the Samsung Galaxy S9 will one again come in two flavours, the model numbers of which have been reported to be SM-G960 for the Galaxy S9 and SM-G965 for the Galaxy S9+. Both smartphones will feature curved displays, just like the S8 series, and are also expected to <a href="http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/samsung-galaxy-s9-dual-camera-setup-tipped-kgi-securities-ming-chi-kuo-1741979" target="_top" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(218, 0, 0);">inherit the Galaxy Note 8’s dual camera setup</a> . The report further states that Samsung might launch a brand new Galaxy X, as a sort of a ‘one more thing’, which is tipped to ‘fold-out’ to a size of a tablet. While the other rumours seem likely to happen, we suggest taking the news about the Galaxy X with a pinch of slat, at least for now.</p></div></span>ankurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081939212034715204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646765140459982106.post-41191916124833829142017-10-11T05:52:00.001-07:002017-10-11T05:54:43.506-07:00Forget the iPhone 8 and iPhone X — rumors about next year's iPhones are already starting to emerge<img id="id_f462_2156_14dd_bb19" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ilssR3B1LTE/Wd4UDgkZhAI/AAAAAAAAA8E/y7uXr1ZZC4Uenms_UrWesBI3r2S5dZRJACHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The iPhone 8 and iPhone X are all good and great, but should you wait until next year's iPhone to upgrade?</span><section class="article-content"><p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">To put it bluntly: If you need a new phone because yours has become too slow for your day-to-day use, it's time to upgrade.

Generally, these are mainly iterative, But 2017 is a different year. Manufacturers have gone all out for upgrades, in a lot of critical areas. The big talk when we look at performance is about 10nm processors. The decrease in processor size promises a lot of upgrades all around. Now that all companies are done with their launches, we can finally take a look at which one comes out on top for benchmarks. There have been a few surprises this year as well, particularly with Apple’s A11 Bionic. Cupertino’s added two more cores to its latest processor bringing total count up to six. Take a look below to find out more.</span><h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 25px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: 500; vertical-align: baseline; text-shadow: none;"><font size="3"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Apple iPhone 8 Plus Vs All Of Android Flagships; Which Device Takes The GeekBench 4 Crown?</span></font></h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.7em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Before we get down to the nitty-gritty, a word to the wise. Benchmarks are good to gauge how a device’s processor handles specific workloads, under specific conditions. This does not mean that what you see is a 100% completely accurate representation of real life performance. Several factors, including the exact version of software being employed, come into play when computing these scores. Finally, all the scores save the iPhone 8 Plus are aggregates, which the Apple device is our own testing module.</span></p><h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 25px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: 500; vertical-align: baseline; text-shadow: none;"><font size="3"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Note 8, S8+:</span></font></h3><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.7em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Let’s start with Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8. We’ll talk about variants of the phablet that feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835. The Snapdragon has 4 big and 4 LITTLE cores, clocked at 2.45 and 1.9GHz respectively. The highest score of Seoul’s very best in single core is 1875, and the lowest is 1235 points. For multi core, highest is 6648 and lowest is 5311. In aggregates, the Note 8 scores 1830 for single and 6353 for multi core.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.7em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Now, it’s time for smartphones. Samsung’s Galaxy S8+ and LG’s G6 are next on our list. Talking hardware, while the S8+ ships with Qualcomm’s 10nm Snapdragon 835, the G6 uses last year’s Snapdragon 821. The difference this creates is clearly evident in benchmarks. For the S8+, highest and lowest single core scores are 1850 and 1392 respectively. For multi core, they are 6132 and 5409. Aggregates are 1722 (single core) and 6327 (multi core)</span></p><table id="tablepress-738" class="tablepress tablepress-id-738" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: none;

Apple’s iPhone 8 Plus features the A11 Bionic processor. While there’s no hidden meaning behind the term ‘Bionic’, the iPhone 8 Plus’ processor is very efficient. It’s got six cores, all of which can run in high performance mode should the need arise. GeekBench 4 results for the iPhone 8 Plus are nothing short of fantastic. In our tests, the iPhone 8 Plus scores 4242 in single core and a massive 10,156 in multi core. You can take a look at detailed results above.</span></p><img id="id_bd36_500e_a000_5302" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--p7BWRrpwTY/WdxEWXqO5EI/AAAAAAAAA7k/A8E3EHZ_t8AQr-7kIIM06vqW8RLUx6yYACHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br><div><h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 25px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: 500; vertical-align: baseline; text-shadow: none;"><font size="3"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Verdict:</span></font></h3><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.7em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">To conclude, Apple’s surprised everyone this year with the iPhone 8 and iPhone Plus. Prior to the A11, iOS was reserved only for single core performance. In multi-core, Android, with its four big cores always took the lead. But now, Apple’s numbers are there for all of you to see. Android’s clearly dropped the ball with smartphone performance this year. Tim Cook’s belief that his company’s custom processors will power low-end notebooks in the future doesn’t seem unwarranted.

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Like most smartphone users, I unlock my screen incessantly so I usually run out of battery when I most need it. But <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2012/11/29/popslate-launches-iphone-5-case-with-four-inch-e-ink-screen-vid/" target="_top">popSLATE</a> promises to be the rehab for my swipe-screen addiction. It's a smartphone case with an in-built <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2015/01/06/e-ink-prism-hands-on/" target="_top">E Ink</a> screen that can personalize the back of an iPhone 6. I could use it to flaunt my favorite pictures or if I run out of battery, at say, an airport, I'd be able to flip my phone over to scan my boarding pass. It seemed like the perfect solution for my excessive phone usage. So I turned the back of my phone into a second, always-on screen for about a week. </span><br />

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Setting it up was the easiest part: slide the phone into it, download the popSLATE app and a couple of quick prompts later the phone is paired to the case via Bluetooth. Its biggest selling point is that it doesn't need your iPhone's battery. It comes with its own internal battery that lasts for at least a week on a single charge. The E Ink screen uses power only when you refresh an image, which in my case wasn't as often as I thought it would be so I didn't need to charge it once. But ironically, with my Bluetooth on for days, it drained my phone earlier than usual on most days.</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The app tries hard to be a social network. It lets you link your Instagram account for quick access to your favorite square-format pictures or take new images so you can "pop" them to the back of your phone. It automatically shares those images on its network, but you can choose to opt out. There's a follow feature so you can set up a community but it's missing a crucial feature -- you can't like or comment on anything so there's no validation or interaction. You can only "re-pop" the black and white images but it's not half as satisfying as a red-heart on your </span><br />

Kuo also looks ahead to 2018, noting of when Apple will hit full production of the iPhone X as well as what’s in store for the 2018 iPhone…</span><img id="id_e34_cc78_66b2_d15" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-h4rswkssZ1c/WdoTstj-s_I/AAAAAAAAA5E/SSJ53d8b7Qc53OL3w8E3HytY58ltCmJ5QCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Kuo says the “true super cycle” for the iPhone won’t actually take place until 2018. While <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/03/06/iphone-super-cycle-citi-aapl/" target="_top" style="text-decoration: none;">many analysts have predicted</a> that the launch of the iPhone X will prompt a super cycle for the end of 2017, the KGI Securities analyst says supply shortages will push that increased upgrade cycle into next year.</span><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">As he’s said in the past, the biggest bottleneck Apple faces in iPhone X <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/02/iphone-x-delays-ahead-of-android/" target="_top" style="text-decoration: none;">production is the front-facing TrueDepth</a>camera that allows for Apple’s Face ID technology. Those issues, however, should be resolved in 2018.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Furthermore, the 2018 iPhones will see a “longer sales period” than the 2017 iPhone X due to the improvements in availability as Apple perfects the production process.

Taking a look back at another week of news from Cupertino, this week’s Apple Loop includes new battery problems with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, the limited stock of the iPhone X, why Apple has lost its design edge, the arrogance of the iPhone X notch, the iPhone 7 vs the new handsets, iOS 11 update issues, Qualcomm and Apple’s legal fight, and Facebook Messenger’s Apple Music extension.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #222222; font-family: Avenir, "Noto Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
Apple Loop is here to remind you of a few of the very many discussions that have happened around Apple over the last seven days (<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2017/10/06/android-news-digest-samsung-galaxyx-google-pixel2xl-huawei-mate10/" style="color: #003891; text-decoration: none;" target="_top">and you can read my weekly digest of Android news here on Forbes</a>).</div>

<strong>iPhone 8 Battery Problems</strong></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #222222; font-family: Avenir, "Noto Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
Apple has confirmed that it is investigating issues with ‘swelling batteries’ on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 plus handsets. A very small number of incidents have been reported where batteries have buckled the outer chassis and frames of the new smartphones. <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2017/10/05/apple-iphone-8-plus-new-iphones-battery-problem/" style="color: #003891; text-decoration: none;" target="_top">Gordon Kelly reports</a>:</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
At this stage little is known about the fault, though the Independent’s states Apple believes the problem is caused by “battery swelling” and it is not thought to pose a safety concern like Samsung’s infamous problem with exploding Galaxy Note 7 batteries.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
That said Apple has had its own battery problems during the last year and initiated a battery recall program for some iPhone 6S models.</div>

Todesco has already investigated vulnerabilities in other platforms and systems, leading to his current reputation as one of the biggest mobile security experts in the world.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The achievement of garnering root status, though, will catapult his image and reputation to new levels of infamy.

This very much implies that the <a href="https://www.valuewalk.com/2017/09/apple-pay-cash-ios-11-release/" target="_top">iOS 11</a> jailbreak will not be made public, and the talented developer was instead simply engaging in private work, even if it has become part of the public domain.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Nonetheless, the fact that Todesco has achieved this critical aspect of jailbreaking iOS 11 suggests that other Apple developers and programming experts will be able to achieve similar things at a later date. Considering that the mobile operating system has only been available for just over a week, there is still clearly a huge amount of potential for other iOS 11 jailbreak solutions to emerge.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">For example, KeenLabs had <a href="https://www.valuewalk.com/2016/09/ios-10-jailbreak-demo-video/" target="_top">already demoed an</a> iOS 11 jailbreak back in June, during which time the mobile operating system was still in a beta state.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">However, Apple has attempted to circumvent such situations arising by launching its own Bug Bounty Program.

One of the main benefits people gain from being able to jailbreak their iOS devices is the ability to hack and make adjustments to various apps. This might mean adding or removing features, cheating in a game, or even playing console games on the device with an emulator. However, it is not just jailbroken users who can have access to these features. It is possible to install modified versions of certain apps on your device without the need for a jailbreak.</div>

There are many different websites which allow users to download these apps on their devices. One that has recently appeared online is AppValley. It is essentially a small app store for hacked games and modified applications, similar to something like TutuHelper. Using AppValley, you can install various popular modified applications such as Spotify++, Movie Box, Snapchat++, Pokemon Go++, and many more.</div>

This is an iPhone after all, and one that's meant to be the future of Apple's smartphone. Slow iPhone 8 sales are being linked to people waiting for iPhone X instead. That's a very good sign for the coming demand, which will far outstrip supply if <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/356356/report-iphone-x-production-hasnt-started-yet" style="background-image: linear-gradient(to top, rgba(242, 38, 19, 0.498039), 28px, rgba(242, 38, 19, 0), 28px, rgb(255, 255, 255)); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; background-size: 190%; color: black; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.6px; line-height: 19.600000381469727px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 3px; position: relative; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">production delays are to be believed</a>.<br />

Apple isn't the only winner if the iPhone X sells well, though. Samsung is set to profit hugely from the handset. We know that every iPhone ships with Samsung components inside, but the iPhone X will be fitted with a Samsung OLED screen, NAND flash memory chips, and batteries and capacitors from Samsung affiliates.</div>

As <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/02/samsung-4-billion-making-iphone-x-parts/" style="background-image: linear-gradient(to top, rgba(242, 38, 19, 0.498039), 28px, rgba(242, 38, 19, 0), 28px, rgb(255, 255, 255)); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; background-size: 190%; color: black; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.6px; line-height: 19.600000381469727px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 3px; position: relative; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">MacRumors</a> reports, an analysis carried out by Counterpoint Technology on the bill of materials for the iPhone X found Samsung will make $110 per handset. With Apple projected to sell 130 million iPhone X smartphones by Summer 2019, Samsung will receive billions in revenue from its sale.</div>

The analysis goes on to suggest Samsung will make more from iPhone X than from its own <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/review/352620/samsung-galaxy-s8" style="background-image: linear-gradient(to top, rgba(242, 38, 19, 0.498039), 28px, rgba(242, 38, 19, 0), 28px, rgb(255, 255, 255)); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; background-size: 190%; color: black; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.6px; line-height: 19.600000381469727px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 3px; position: relative; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">Galaxy S8</a>. Samsung is thought to earn $202 per S8, but sales are only expected to reach 50 million units. So while the revenue per handset is higher, sales will be far lower than the iPhone X. In the end, Samsung wins regardless from an earnings point of view.</div>

The earnings prediction will no doubt be refined once the iPhone X launches and teardowns appear. The two companies look to be forever interlinked, though. Samsung wants to retain Apple as a customer, their best customer, while Apple needs the production capacity of Samsung to meet demand for its devices.<br />

The analysis expects Samsung to generate $4 billion in revenues within the first 20 months of the iPhone X going on sale.</span><br />

The firm arrived at the 20 months timeframe on the assumption that major sales of a new smartphone occur within the first 20 months of its availability. Counterpoint expects Apple to ship 130 million units of the iPhone X through the summer of 2019, with Samsung expected to earn $110 on every unit sold. For comparison, the Galaxy S8 is expected to ship 50 million units with Samsung earning $202 from each unit thanks to the various components used inside it like the chipset, display, NAND storage, and more.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Samsung will be supplying Apple with the 5.8-inch OLED display and NAND chips for the iPhone X which would add billions of revenue to its bottom line. With Apple charging a premium for the iPhone X and Samsung, in turn, charging Apple a premium for the OLED display of the iPhone X, both of them are expected to be among the most profitable companies in the world in 2017. No wonder Samsung employees refer to Apple as LO a.k.a “Lovely Opponent.” As for Apple, the company’s employees heavily criticise Samsung’s phones behind closed doors for their poor software and hardware performance.</div>

Despite intense rivalry between Samsung and Apple in the smartphone market, Apple’s reliance on the Korean company has only increased in recent years. Right now, Samsung is the only company capable of producing high-quality bezel-less OLED panels on a scale that can fulfill Apple’s requirement. Similarly, the Korean company is the only one that can mass produce NAND chips without any reliability issues. Apple is trying to reduce its reliance on Samsung and is trying to set up an alternative OLED supply-chain for itself. The company is reportedly in talks with LG Display, and it is even ready to invest a few billion dollars in the company to help it in setting up an OLED factory. Similarly, the Cupertino company is a part of the consortium that is bidding for Toshiba’s NAND chip business. By acquiring Toshiba’s NAND business, Apple hopes to secure itself a steady supply of NAND chips thereby reducing its reliance on Samsung</div>
