Apple: Enables Ad Blockers in Safari in iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan

We all know that when we surf the internet advertisements can become quite annoying, making the process not so pleasant. The solution to give the partially ad blockers, specially designed programs that filter out ads and do not show.

A corresponding movement seems to do and Apple, giving the option to use an ad blocker software on iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan. The new function will give instructions in Safari to block cookies, images, pop-ups and other sources during the tour. This option will be native to the devices of Apple, simplifying things.

The move may seem strange from a company that makes a profit from advertising. Advertisements But Apple's working through the applications in the form of a banner usually rather through Safari. So we will not say that beating herself with this move, but more Google and other major players.

Furthermore, recalling that Google with recent statements had not said that it is not opposed to such software.

Apple Watch: Fall in Half the Estimated Sales

Can the market smartwtches to gain momentum have other gadgets and wearables become the new trend; Many users keep their doubts, saying that there is no utility in such a product, which can be seen in the low sales of those smartwatches were marketed.

Nevertheless, Apple made the step with Apple Watch and was seen by analysts that will make possible sales and give the impetus the market needs, benefiting so other manufacturers.

The KGI Securities said in predicting that Apple would sell 20-30000000 watches, but he sees that the demand for Apple Watch is lower than expected. So it throws its forecast in half, speaking of 15 million shipments and down.

Also KGI its analysis indicates that 80% of orders are Apple Watch for model 42mm. However, we should expect the same to Apple official sales numbers.

Would you buy the Apple Watch or another smartwatch;

Apple Watch: expected but sell more than the first iPhone

When Apple released the first iPhone a few years ago, many were those who expressed doubts about whether Apple is able to make mobile. Eventually the iPhone became one of the world's most popular gadget, and now there he skepticism around Apple Watch.
The idea of ​​a smart watch worn on the wrist, not only from Apple but also by other companies appeared to thrill the market. But according to a report in the Forbes Apple Watch is expected to overtake the first iPhone sales in the first year of registration.
Based on figures from research firm Statista, the iPhone had sold 5.4 million units in the first year, while according to unofficial data, the pre-orders of Apple Watch is already in 2.3 million. It has already reached about half of the iPhone.
Analysts estimate that the demand for Apple Watch will continue to grow during the year, and especially during the holidays and this will lead eventually to overcome the first iPhone.
Specifically, an analyst at JP Morgan had forecast sales of 26 million only in 2015, something which we can not know now if it will happen.

Apple the Salvation of the World in Hands

The company with signal ground-apple needs no introduction. The American company runs one of the best periods of its history, with sales of the iPhone to look better than ever, while Apple Watch sell like hot buns. What's the next step for Apple;

One would expect that it will continue spreading its tentacles in the technology sector. Where revived the smartphone, created the tablet and put the smartwatch in fashion. Things did not seem to go thither. Lately, it seems that Apple is throwing furtive glances toward the purchase of cars. Originally introduced the Apple CarPlay, an operating system exclusively for cars, wanting to transfer the user experience of iOS from the smartphone to the four wheels. But it seems that it does not stop there, since about a month ago rumors that Apple is interested in making the opening in the car market to build the Apple Car, with a possible release date in 2030.

Difficult

First let us analyze the specific reputation, and whether it might be possible. In Apple certainly looking with an evil eye on this market. We are talking about a global production of about 87 million cars per year, with developing markets to ask for more and more cars as the days pass. A market with a turnover of $ 9 trillion every year! So who would not want a piece of such a big pie?

The car market but not ... smartphone. To build a car from scratch is quite difficult. Firstly, there is a very strong competition, with the manufacturing companies time to time to shrink and be absorbed by the larger, making groups. General Motors, Daimler Benz, Fiat Group etc. are just a few of the examples where once large companies such as eg Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari failed to establish themselves and came to be bought by someone else (Fiat).

Another example of the difficulty of new firms to enter the market are Chinese companies. Chinese products have now penetrated everywhere, occupying almost always the first sales positions. But not in cars, where sales of these companies is poor even in China itself, with their names to us is completely unknown (SAIC, DongFeng Motors, Chery, etc). The development and production are very complex, while the buying public places 'tags' which hardly come off.

Apple is, however, according to the rumors that circulated seems that he knows the difficulties and not aimed at traditional auto market, but in another, nascent and promising. This hybrid - electric cars.

Electricity is the answer

This market appears to be growing in recent years, and enters slowly hand, catalytic not in our life. Large companies led to Toyota and famous anymore Prius and successors Europeans BMW, Mercedes, etc. seem to slowly invest in this category. The technology is really in its infancy, facing many problems, with most of them being what else, batteries, not even offer great autonomy and power to fuel cars. Of course, Apple is sure to contribute to this class car with the expertise of the battery issue (the difference smartphone- electric cars in this matter is not so great) with all companies to earn from such potential competition. And when we talk about competition can not omit the biggest competitor of Apple in that category, the Tesla. But what is the Tesla;

Tesla

First Tesla was known servoamerikanos physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla. A pioneer in electricity apart from the many inventions, gave his name (and plans for the engine) in a rising American electric car maker. Headquartered known Palo Alto, a purely technological company, took its first steps in cooperation with the well-known inventor (and CEO) Elon Musk, who saw the Tesla a company can realize his dreams of a planet that is not will be directly dependent on gasoline for transportation.

Natural obstacles are many. The Tesla strives to cut a piece of the pie by American giants, has managed to build only two models (Roadster and Model S) which, because of high production costs have the same selling price, making products for a few. The share of the company struggles to keep at satisfactory levels, while the release date of the next model has shifted from 2012 to the second half of 2015.

Apple + Tesla = Love?

And here comes somewhere in the middle of the Apple. Within the other rumors circulated was also that Apple may be interested in the acquisition of Tesla. Specifically, shareholders repeatedly asked him if Tim Cook will be interested in the company for such a market, and Elon Musk himself said that he was approached by Apple to ask him if he would be interested in such cooperation.

A task that does not seem very easy. First money are many. When the Beats Audio has cost Apple 3 billion dollars, the Tesla, with its shares falling because of low profits will cost much more to the company from Cupertino. With 180 billion reserves, it seems to be a problem for Apple, but it is certain that it will be an investment that will cost at Apple if it fails. And such great failures can bring any company to the brink.

But there is another obstacle. The enigmatic CEO of the company, Elon Musk does not know whether it would be positive to sell one of the most beloved creations. Money is not everything, and Elon Musk is one of those who definitely embraces much. With companies like PayPal, Space X and Tesla, goal seems to be the quality of life of the world (everything for a fee).

And what if?

So here we start our own speculations. Where there is smoke there is fire. And Apple has now a lot of money to spend, with everyone expecting a big bang, a multiple of that of Beats Audio. And because Apple wants to get in the auto space (and why not he is), does not have the expertise, experience, and patience to make something so complex in an area so unknown to her. The acquisition will be easier for this, the Tesla fits perfectly on Apple's profile (Just look at the technology and design that carries every model) and the technology of electric cars is one that will anyway follow the same for own proposal. As for the cost? To build a car from scratch and the refinements just wants Apple seems much more difficult and expensive than to develop an already remarkable background.

The salvation of the world courtesy of Apple

Here we go this venture a little further. What would a possible entry of Apple in the electric car market? Megaton bomb. Apple is no longer a simple smartphone producer, is becoming a way of life. Enthusiasts users around the world are rushing to buy anything on it the bitten apple, regardless of cost. The fact that any matter touching the Apple refreshed, or practical to create the Apple.

It will be the same with electric cars? Probably yes. An electric car made by Apple will create the sensation that made the first Model T Ford, over 100 years ago. The prohibition of price (do not forget that Tesla classified in the high-end car category) will not allow anyone to buy one, but it is certain that many people will buy high-class car will be the first choices of the Apple Car. Do not forget that the electric motor will help to promote, with buyers never approaching a gas station, a fairly significant advantage in the era of expensive gasoline worldwide.

This competition in the high category, certainly will not leave unperturbed major players worldwide. Mercedes, BMW, Audi, GM, will not so easily let Apple to steal their share, intensifying the development of electric cars. And as is known, competition is always a winner: the consumer.

And we have a winner: Us!

Winner of such a counter will certainly consumers. Imagine buying a car with Apple means, as the smartphone market before and after it. Apple has never sold economically smartphone, but the competition has brought leading technologies even to us ordinary mortals who are moving in the smartphone market of 200 euros. This is how you do with cars. More and more companies will actively engage in electric car technology, with prices falling geometric, technology to make huge steps and electric cars be made month after month and more popular.

Certainly over time, we will see a reduction of the sale of "traditional" models and increase electrical. Personal assessment is that within 5-8 years from the release date of the first electric car Apple consumers will have a serious dilemma between electrical or non-electrical. And this, only good can do. More electric cars means fewer emissions. It means better technology for batteries and so much more that can bring such a revolution. Apple saves the planet.

Bonus: The Apple will save and human health!

Ok, now maybe paraleme. The truth is however that Apple has ambitious plans for the Health App that has launched some time ago and will integrate and Apple Watch. The application of Apple recalling that controls many aspects of the user's health, and suggests ways to improve the quality of life. The promotion of this application means that it gives the opportunity to Apple to collect health data of hundreds of millions of users, offering to third parties the opportunity to create a database no other way to be, helping the development of therapies like no other.

Indeed, Apple will provide a new tool to other developers health applications, so there is a common path and function to the benefit of medical research and the development of existing therapies in many diseases.

When you consider that most medical research using data from at most a few thousand people, we understand what this means for medical research number ... millions of users of Apple. It is a revolution in research that will helper researchers searching with the dropper that data. Course will assist unlimited and pharmaceutical companies for the development of their medicines but this is another huge topic that does not fit in this article.

More data means better research. More accurate data means better research. Multiply above for millions ... and you will understand what we are talking revolution.

Epilogue

Somewhere here should therefore leave the champagne at party. The futurology is practically an area completely theoretical. And our thinking about the future of Apple is completely theoretical and this. The point is that a company as big, has the makings and the ability to improve our quality of life in all areas (for a fee always). Directly or indirectly. We hope this to be done.

iPad Pro: Photos from the case of warn us that we are giant

To French blog Nowhereelse, who dare to say that it is quite reliable for what transmits, has published new photos that allegedly show the case of the upcoming 12-inch iPad Pro, long time we hear something new about this upcoming device, to but we later associated with it and implicitly tell us much.

This time we can not see any internal component of the iPad Pro, we see one of the key accessories, a case which is compared to an iPad Air 2 and it seems that the 12-inch iPad looks great in front of the Air model. Via Twitter last month, Nowhereelse had mentioned that the dimensions of the large iPad is 305,7 × 222,6 × 7,2 mm so it is indeed "huge" compared to previous generations. Even from the photos given additional information relating to the external styling of the new iPad Pro which is nearly identical to the iPad Air 2, apart from the increased screen size. Of course, other micro-changes, as opening for the loudspeakers in the bottom and top side and an opening on the left side would be a further Lightning or USB-C port.

Apple Watch: One (old) Patent May be Delayed his Arrival in Switzerland

The Apple Watch has announced several months ago, and recently Apple has organized an event to present it in more detail. After a fairly long wait, on April 10 will launch in selected markets preorders and the first shipments will be held on April 24. Switzerland probably will not be one of them, since Apple must first face a copyright issue.

A patent from 1985 might prevent Apple to use the word «apple» on the clock. The patent that belongs to the company's owner watches Leonard, ending in a few months, namely on 5 December 2015. Thus, Apple may have to come to an agreement with the patent holder or wait a few months before the release of Apple Watch in Switzerland. Those Swiss certainly eager to catch the smart watch the American company in their hands early, will be able to import from a neighboring country.

At present, there is no official position of Apple on the issue, while the service of Switzerland is of course closed for the weekend. So do not be surprised if he does not create an issue that would cause delays and Apple Watch arrived in Switzerland on time.

Jony Ive: Explains why we will not see larger battery in iPhone

Jony Ive: Explains why we will not see larger battery in iPhone

Can the number one feature that looks 73% of users in a cell to the battery, but manufacturers do not seem to care much. Instead, the battery is sacrificed for the sake of the small design.To did Apple with even thinner iPhone 6 this year, the same and Samsung with 6.8 mm. the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, and will follow others.

Those manufacturers who are trying to make more rapid charging and various modifications through software to the battery lasts longer. On the burning issue of battery placed the head design of Apple, Jony Ive in an interview given to the Financial Times.

So if you are bored to charge the iPhone 2 times a day, Apple is not going to do anything about it. The Jony Ive defends thin design that Apple has chosen even if it means less battery. Moreover, supplements that Apple is not going to bring larger battery because this will make mobile the most cumbersome and less attractive.

When the reporter asks him for frequent charging needs the iPhone, the Ive replied that this is because the phone is so thin and light, which makes us to use more and this results in the depletion of battery: «it's because it's so thin and light that we use it so much and therefore deplete the battery.

Practical Tips: Preparing the device for receiving the iOS 8

The iOS 8 is just around the corner, with the widespread availability has been officially announced on September 17. So it is a good time to prepare our devices for big update for the iPhone, the iPad and the iPod touch. Before we proceed to the transition to the redesigned new operating system, you need to check the compatibility and do a cleanup and to our iOS device. Here we present six steps ca preparation reception iOS 8, we consider necessary and would suggest to follow religiously. 

Check the compatibility of your devices 

The list below does not seem to have changed since the first release of the new operating system. So make sure that if you hold the device included in the list below. Specifically iOS 8 is compatible with the following devices: 

iPhone 4s, 5, 5c, 5S, 6 and 6Plus 

iPad 2,3,4, Air, iPad mini & mini 2 

iPod touch 5th gen 

Something to note here. That is the older model iPhones and iPads compatible as anaferentai list does not mean that it is necessary to upgrade now. Friendly advice from our experience, one such upgrade would be good owners of older models, waiting for the next version (8.0.1 or 8.0.2) which will solve problems and speed display. This may not apply to iOS 8, but it is good to raise. 

You have already beta version of iOS 8 

Polloi you may have installed some of the demos (formally or informally). You should know that all trial versions expire. Once the trial expires the phone becomes inoperable. You either have to downgrade the version (downgrade), or to upgrade to the final test GM. 

Both options are easy to measure. In the first one, put your device in DFU Mode and then select restore from iTunes, while the second will have to search for the final test in the known - unknown points. We can not report on that. Not available OTA as previous demos. 

Scrub iOS applications 

Not to be claimed, it would be such magor updates, and satisfy one given the opportunity to do a cleanup and applications that we have in our device. I think it's understandable. Remove applications from both the iPhone and the iPad which is not in use, freeing up considerable space on your device and arrange the rest, is a chance! There is no risk of loss because all the applications that you have purchased, you can re-download at any time without the need to physically xanaplirosete. 

Copying Photos and Video on your PC 

These days most of us use the iPhone as your primary camera and video camera. This means that many memories of our trips or moments are there and of course we would not want to miss. The Photostream for many is a misunderstood service and also keeps only the last 1000 photos. In this service hitherto supported video. 

The best thing to do is to copy it to your computer, and Video as many photos you want to save, whether you have Mac or windows. Alternate you can use services like Dropbox or Cloud where it is necessary to use a computer. 

Double backup on iTunes and iCloud 

I recommend you keep double Backup as minimize the chance of losing your data. Make a Local Backup to iTunes and a Backup to iCloud, if you want to remove your device for any reason. The Backup devices are very easy on any Apple device. 

Backup in iTunes: Connect your device to the computer> select in iTunes> click "Back Up Now" 

Backup to iCloud: go Settings> iCloud> Storage and copies> "Copy iCloud" 

Always keep backup before doing any update on your device. It is particularly important, especially for large upgrades such as iOS 8. 

Update and Install iOS 8 

You are now ready and willing to proceed with the upgrade to the iOS operating system iOS 8. The installation process is now very simple via OTA as usual and will be widely available on September 17th ie tomorrow. On the other hand if you are a developer you can install the final trial GM from Apple. Now if you are impatient there is another method by making clean install now, but do not recommend the longer expect tomorrow as official. Anyway wish you great enjoyment as the iOS 8 is expected to bring many new features to our devices.

Apple Officially announced final version of iOS8 available for the general public

Final version of iOS 8 is available today, the main annual upgrade of the younger generation mobile operating system from Apple. The iOS 8 is definitely the most important update of the year from the last fully redesigned version of iOS 7 exactly one year ago. 

Some of the key features of the upcoming release are photos, Messages, smart keyboards, the Family Sharing, the new design, the iCloud Drive, the new application preinstalled Health, function and Handoff Continuity. In new chaktiristika can prosthetsete the hotspot between devices when there is no possibility of Wi-Fi, the renewed Spotlight newcomer and other features. 

There are some defterefnta which had not been mentioned in the presentation as battery usage per application, pans on iPad, Safari private browsing tab at the newcomer and application tips. 

Significant improvement for Greeks accepted the Siri as the upcoming version will fully support the Greek language in the dictation. This means that very soon it seems that Apple's virtual assistant will speak our language. Another feature that we found is the inclusion of the song recognition service Shazam, which has the ability to recognize a song from the sound to the environment that you are giving you the opportunity to buy it from iTunes. And of course we do not stop here. 

Drivers who use virtual assistant during the driver was forced to supply even for a little attention in order to activate Siri. Now you can enable it with a phrase, ala "Ok Google", saying "Hey Siri". This means that your device always expects ts commands, but do not know if this charge and the battery life. 

Sure is a surprising tool for times when one is not able to touch the device. Important here to emphasize that the device should be connected source. Besides the Greek supplement that recognizes the Siri dictation from a total of 24 languages ​​and 22 has voice recognition. 

Devices that support the operating system iOS 8:

• iPhone 4s
• iPhone 5
• iPhone 5c /5S
• iPhone 6 / 6Plus
• iPad 2
• iPad 3rd generation
• iPad Mini with Retina Display
• iPad Air
• iPad Mini
• iPad 4th Generation
• iPod 

Like all upgrades can be downloaded OTA (Over thw Air) or by connecting your device to iTunes and clicking Update. We in any case recommend to do a clean install and so on the eve of the user posting the presentation upgrading the basic preparation steps. 

Last advice before installation, be patient as quick to upgrade millions of users simultaneously.

Apple ecosystem : The Apple soon will manage every aspect of our lives

The most important thing presented by Apple last Tuesday, is one of the products received. The most important is the way that all the products of Apple or third-party applications now work together. It's like a huge omnipresent computer that is beside us then. The interface is the world we live. 

"The product is not only a collection of features," said Tim Cook announcing the new iPhone, concluding that "it is how we all work together," 

and this is true for the line of Apple products and the user experience. The Communications Tuesday revealed the ambition to integrate Apple devices in the lifestyle. A computer everywhere. With the new iPhones, Apple Watch, HomeKit, HomeKit, HealthKit, iBeacon, Apple Pay even with CarPlay, the Apple building a world in which a computer will interact with us either sleep or be active. A computer in your pocket. A computer in our body. 

A computer that pays for all of our markets. A computer that opens the door of a room in hotel hospitality. A computer that monitors our movements as we walk in a mall. A computer monitor our sleep. A computer controls the devices in our home. A computer tells us to park our car. A computer that receives heart rate tells us how many steps we've done and what elevation we climb, how many calories burned, allowing us all these facts to share with your friends. A computer in our car. All on the same computer. 

The computer is connected to the "sky", our pocket, wrist our homes and our cars, our office, our home. This is the new ecosystem of Apple. Trying to transform our world as one big system. You wake with opening lights Hue, which come to life thanks to the application based on HomeKit of Apple, which gives a mandate to the Honeywell thermostat to regulate the temperature of the room. Looking for a quick breakfast and ready to run. The Apple Watch will record how far and how fast you run, check your heart rate and calculates calories burned. Knows where you went, how many hills we climbed calculates and sets individual goals based on your abilities. 

Returning home, you can choose to watch a pod cast morning news from iTunes, which is transmitted by the hardware Sonos you have installed in your home. As you walk from room to room, the service iBeacons follows you like the sound. At the time you call from work, the ringtone through the Wi-Fi network goes to the speakers. As you walk to your car call continues uninterrupted through LTE. Turn the key and suddenly the call is transferred to the car speakers. The podcast continues where it left off. Away from home off the lights and closes the thermostat. 

On the way to work you notice that you have a wound from a morning run. Ask Siri for the nearest pharmacy and this leads to a nearby Walgreens, to get an antibiotic. Using Apple Watch you can repay intact and Apple Pay to charge your credit card. Then ask the Siri taflandeziko for a good restaurant near the office. You can make reservations through OpenTable application with Apple Watch, (using the same application fee to pay for dinner). 

Arriving at your desk clock displays your note with the available parking to park your car. You can go out and take a deep breath. The pulse is recorded as you can see on your watch waiting from work today. All health data is recorded and sent to HealthKit. H is 8 hours. 

Sensors encompass the world around us. He is with us everywhere. They control us instead of our bodies our homes, devices can communicate with each other with new methods never hitherto been possible. This is exactly the Tim Cook said that now all work together. Is the entire product line now works coordinated. The Apple ecosystem is like a spider web. The more you try to interact with him, the more trapped. Fortunately this is a very beautiful trap. Do you agree?

Google Play Store: New Refund Policy within two hours of purchase Applications

A major headache for many guests Play Store just ended, as Google has finally decided to increase the time limit reimbursement for purchases of games and applications in two hours. It is a longstanding demand of the users who in many cases were unable to try a paid application in 15 minutes which was the previous limit. Think for example of Gameloft games that needs many times to download up to 3GB file to play, which of course is not a quarter. So two hours is simply too long to try a comfortable application but in many cases you can enjoy and finish a game, for which later will get your money back! This of course applies to paid applications and not for free that have payments inside. So we see that after the gift card, the Google Play becomes more friendly towards us. Happy shopping (and returns)!

Apple iWatch: The plus and the failures

The CEO of Apple, Tim Cook named the watch company (Apple Watch) as the "most personal device that created Applepote." Below we take a look at the positives and negatives on the last device of Apple, whose value starts at $ 349. 

The scorecard for Apple Watch 

Fashion: The Apple CEO Tim Cook repeatedly stressed that the Apple clock is made to be used and has many customizable features. Also, watch Apple will have six different straps that can be easily exchanged. 

Navigation: The clock uses a line to navigate with a touchscreen. Digital Corona is used to select the dates, gliding through catalogs and go to the main screen. 

Innovation: Charging through MagSafe and sensor alignment. Sensors detect pulse. A gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS and Wi-Fi iPhone is used. It is digital touch, similar to Morse code system delivers messages to your contacts quickly, or a list of close friends. 

Win: The strap design is Apple. Guess who wins ... Apple fans will buy multiple straps for any occasion. 

Applications: See Apple already seems to have more applications than the corresponding clocks with Android. The Siri is a nice touch. A photograph of applications makes the watch more than Apple as a "suspension". 

Developers: Apple spent the WatchKit, which allows developers to create communication applications and more. 

Compatibility: Apple clock will work with the latest iPhones (obviously), and the iPhone and 5c 5s. 

Payment of Apple: See Apple Apple cooperate with payment, the payment system company that works with all major banks and some retailers. 

Failures 

It tells the time! The cook and designer Jony Ive mentioned how accurate clock Apple. So far no one SmartWatch presentation said the device 'says' time. It's probably a good move. 

First generation: OK watch Apple certainly looks more sophisticated than the Android watches on the market, but still a first generation device. Of course Apple fans will have no problem to buy a first generation device. The rest can wait. 

Price: Starting at $ 349, but will rise as gold and features it contains. 

The clock has an Apple iPhone. 

Availability. Watch the Apple will be available in early 2015, to the dismay of fans of the company. 

Battery life: is a mystery. Cook said Apple's clock can be charged every night, which means the battery life of approximately 12 hours.

The Apple announced the new iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus with larger screen

The Apple as it did last year, introduced two new iPhones. Apple CEO, Tim Cook took the stage to announce, among other things, new smartphones of the brand in two different sizes.

Greenify: New version brings apps & processes without root more easily in hibernation

Greenify, is a very popular app under root users. This allows applications and processes running in the background, "freeze" automatically, so as to improve both performance and battery life of a device. To use the application in full, root privileges are required, however, so far. Now the developer of the popular app has been able to make further progress in Version 2.4, to enable apps, even if non-rooted devices into hibernation. 

In January of that year, Greenify developers Oasis Feng a new version of its tools, in which applications and processes could also turn on smartphones without root access. However, the solution was anything but elegant, because you had to stop the power-hungry analyzed manually due to lack of permissions. With version 2.4 Feng goes one step further. For a previously experimental feature automatically sends apps, even if non-rooted smartphones into hibernation. 

This new feature is gradually Greenify available for smartphones without root, but in the current version are still some factors to consider. For one, the app administrator rights must be granted, on the other hand is activated during each Greenify action the display, then only the corresponding applications can be transported into hibernation. Is that happen disabled, the display again. Problem: This feature does not work when the lockscreen is locked by pattern, PIN or in any other way. Here you have to consider whether you have protected his device rather against unauthorized access, or would like to enjoy a longer battery life. 

Apart from the experimental feature Greenify also offers the ability to create a shortcut, which allows you to bring all the apps at once manually into hibernation. For users who want to keep their Lockscreen protection, a good option.

The War of Mobile Operating Systems (2014 edition)

Like every year, this year we expect the continuation of the "war" between mobile operating systems.

The "gladiators" are Android and iOS, while Windows Phone is still lagging behind because of the very substantial deficiencies have.

What we expect from the new versions of operating systems?

iOS 8

Let's start with the new version that appeared first time and this is none other than the iOS 8. Comes The iOS 8 more ... "open" than ever, as it allows the user to install any third-party keyboard wishes. Moreover, it enables the user to make immediate Share the content of an application.

The new features do not stop here, as the iOS 8 has its own service Cloud, the iCloud Drive, in which users can store the Data. For the first time, the iOS provides Widgets, but not on the home screen of the application, and not a Desktop, but on-screen alerts.

The Siri, the digital assistant to iOS, advan can be activated by voice command "Hey Siri", and through this we can now make the song sound recognition with the help of Shazam. It is worth noting that Apple's presentation of iOS 8, promoted the Continuity, which can do file sharing, message management, then call open document transfer between devices for the continuation of treatment, but all of them only through the ecosystem of Apple.

Android L

These functions already exist in Android, from the first, up to version 4.4 KitKat. What we will see however in Android L; Initially, it is worth noting that Google spent an early version of Android L a few months earlier, which makes Apple over time with the Beta versions of iOS, to give companies the opportunity to quickly launch the new version, but also to Feedback has a right both by Developers, and by "ordinary" users.

As for the new features, the Project Volta, which improves the autonomy of our device, while the Battery Saving Mode, which is activated by a percentage and then enables even greater autonomy of the device. Another feature of Android L, is that the Default Runtime will be the ART (Android RunTime) which after the trial period to 4.4 KitKat, came to stay. Art, the Android L differs much from previous versions, through Material Design, the many changes and additions to the camera function like HDR + and Burst Mode, and changed the screen Multitasking, in which we can close the applications not only through Swipe, but with the new button closure.

Additionally, Google revealed that the Android is not just for Smartphones and Tablets as presented Android Wear, Android TV and Android Auto, the "distributions" of Android to watch TV and car respectively.

The proliferation of Android

 Because of this proliferation of Android, I would like to comment on a report that I made a long time ago and this is the "opportunity" that had Android, due to poor sales figures (then and now) that had Windows 8, to "invade" the area of ​​mobile computing.

In Android, the new version syncs seamlessly with the Chrome OS, to receive alerts Laptop on what exactly happens to your phone or tablet us! Timidly, Google seems to be trying to "bridge" the two operating systems, confirming what I said a few months ago that Android has the "opportunity" to get in the Desktop environment, considering the statement of the COO Microsoft, Kevin Turner, now that the Windows are only 14% of handsets worldwide, mainly because of the rapid increase in Market Share of Android.

Restoring competition and mistakes of Apple

 The Apple seems to have "lost it" not only in Software, but also Hardware. What should I do to entice the consumer again to gain some of the lost ground? The rumored iPhone 6 will have a 4.7 inch screen and battery around 1800mAh, once the competition has a standard battery of 2800mAh to 3000mAh, while the big release of the new iPhone to the 5.5 inch screen,

is expected to have 2500mAh battery at the same time as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has 3200mAh battery! This means that devices will have less autonomy than the competition, which is in my opinion, the A and Z on a mobile phone.

Therefore, holders of iPhone will continue to be with the charger hug, or Power Bank behind the appliance.

As for other features, I can accept that the iOS does not need Quad Core and Octa Core processors to work properly, I wonder why "need" 64-bit though? On the issue of RAM is not going to make any comment, as 2GB expected to see the new devices of Apple, and remnants arrive for a device not yet real multitasking.

Let's go to the issue of the camera, where the 8MP considered the iPhone 5S and plentiful poiotikotata by the company. The gap between the flagship Apple relative to the competition is still huge, although Megapixels do not matter, which embraces and HTC with Ultrapixels, therefore in my opinion again, perhaps we should consider the upgrade the camera on two new handsets. Finally, I would like to comment on the issue "Connectivity".

The Apple, locking the Bluetooth from the first day, reduces data transfer. To be able to send a photo to an Android device, or should have done Jailbreak which means loss of warranty, or you must have WiFi to send via e-mail or Dropbox means that an outer space like a beach it is not feasible to do it, or you must have Data package on your device.

In the year 2014-2015, this restriction seems to be at fault, even though my examples are extreme.

Conclusion

The "war" begins in September and does not seem to have collateral damage, as with the above, any losses would be in Cupertino hand, not because of the Software as well as the gap is huge for two to three years, but mainly because of Hardware that, also, the gap is large. About Software, we saw that Apple ... "borrows" (but not "stealing / copying") Android features which modifies its own way and incorporates them into the new version of its operating system. (true, how can "borrow" something that you consider "stolen";)

In the Hardware, not suffice Premium construction and a logo on the back, to sell. Rightly or wrongly, the world is now waking up and before making such a purchase, looking to Specs, which did so much to (heavy-heavy would say) in 2012. Ideology "who we are, what we sell and s'opoion aresoume "which has as Apple, has cost a vertical dip 40% -50% in Market Share over the last 4 years, so the change Launching Strategies in the coming years as it seems imperative. The absence of competition and the monopoly of Google not have cost us so far, but the day of the saturation of developments seems quite easy, especially if you get the dynamic "game" and Microsoft, since Tizen, Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS and Firefox OS does not seem to have to show something special.
