However, the limitations are significant. Geographically first. Promotion applies only in the physical Apple stores, and then only in selected stores in Boston and San Francisco Bay. MacRumors also states that Apple Watch Watch Hermes Edition models are not affected by the business transaction. Apple he leads by a test before possibly consider proposing this offer wider? Contacted by CNET.com, Apple refuses to make any comment, do not confirm the existence of this promotion. It always comes as questions arise on adoption of Apple Watch, the manufacturer still refuses to release sales figures. According to a recent Fortune article, analysts believe, on average, Apple has elapsed Apple Watch 3.95 million in the last quarter. "We have delivered much the first quarter and the last quarter ... more [...] I can predict that this quarter we deliver more" soberly commented Tim Cook late October.

Are there well with the luxury is that there is no limit. Neither in extravagance. In the claims. Neither in the price. Simply because there is a time when money no longer really matters. We already knew the iPhone 5 Black Diamond Edition, certainly the most expensive iPhone of all time. But certainly here the runner, the iPhone 6 Diamond Ecstasy. Its price: 2.3 million pounds, or 3.11 million euros. This model proposed by Goldgenie (who became famous a year ago by organizing pre iPhone 6 before its formalization) since February, but had gone relatively unnoticed before the subject of a report in the columns of our British colleagues Daily Mail. Note that this is the most expensive version and prices start at 10,000 pounds (13,500 euros).

Brand apple aficionados are already in the starting blocks to Belgium to obtain, as quickly as possible, the new toy of the iPhone family, 6S. This one came out this October 9 at home, while large markets like the United States, France, Britain and China already sell. Apple quickly release, triumphantly, on the first sales: 13 million devices sold reportedly in just three days. Better than all previous iPhone, Apple exclaims. Except that in previous releases, the iPhone had not landed on the first day in China, which distorts the comparison somewhat. But no matter, this is part of marketing communication. A well-crafted marketing that always deploys the Cupertino and arouses desire in technology fans, willing to pay a fortune to afford the precious iPhone. And 6S is no exception to the rule surprising that accompanies the output of each model: charging consumers more and more. In France, where the iPhone 6S is already marketed, it costs the tech-savvy as much as 749 euros for the 16 GB phone without subscription. It is 50 euros more than what was needed to pay last year to acquire the iPhone 6 the cheapest. What do some teeth gnashing. Especially strangely, on paper, the latest addition to the firm at the apple does not would display the most advanced market performance. This same argument a comparison conducted by the French site specializing Meilleurmobile.com at the request of Capital magazine. The analysis compares the iPhone 6S four high-end phones: the Samsung Galaxy S6, the LG G4, Motorola Style X and Sony Xperia Z3 Plus. The result of the comparison is clear: "The four competitors phones are 23-41% cheaper than the iPhone, while being better technically."

Given the controversy that began to take a certain magnitude in recent days, especially on social networks, Apple has finally decided to release a few US sites for information on the difference of autonomy recognized by some users of the new iPhone when 6s it is equipped with a TSMC or Samsung processor. To recap, the American manufacturer provides at two different manufacturers, Samsung and TSMC for A9 processor of the iPhone 6s. But these two processors are not quite identical: the Samsung is smaller than TSMC, against 104.5 mm² 96 mm². Specifically, the Cupertino company has recognized in particular the site TechCrunch that a small difference in performance of autonomy can be found, but that it is only between 2 to 3% depending on the embedded chip in the iPhone 6s: "The iPhone A9 processor or 6s 6s Plus is the most advanced smartphone to chip in the world. All chips that we deliver Apple enjoy the same standards in terms of outstanding performance and autonomy, regardless of the capacity of the iPhone 6s, color, or pattern, "said the firm. And it added that the tests carried out using benchmarks type tools are not reliable when used in daily life: "This is a wrong way to measure real autonomy. The data of our customers and our tests show that the battery life, even taking into account the differences in components, ranging from 2 to 3%. " Apple releases figures are rather reassuring with the information circulating on social networks. Recall that a user of the Reddit website said he was found 6s More than an iPhone equipped with a processor TSMC had a 30% higher average range to 6s More iPhone equivalent with a Samsung processor. According to him, the results arrive at 7:50 of ongoing uses for TSMC chip, against only 6:05 for the Samsung chip. "A frankly visible difference," he said. This user is not alone in complaining about it. The MacRumors site also pointed to some differences: the TSMC would be slightly more powerful processor (nothing sensitive use though) and would tend to heat less. Every iPhone model (or almost) is entitled to his problem. We remember indeed particularly the "BendGate" that hit last year the iPhone 6 Plus too easy to fold or the famous "AntennaGate" that hit the iPhone 4 and its too sensitive antennas. It remains to see if this concern will continue to grow and eventually fade. In all cases, the "ChipGate" risk of still speak of him in the coming days ...

Have we reached a turning point in the mobile video sector? The fact that the new iPhone 6s is now more capable than a reflex tends to make us believe. Indeed, it appeared that Lee Morris Site Fstoppers compared the video capabilities of the latest smartphone from Apple and Nikon D750, a semi-pro DSLR housing, capturing scenes of life with and without zoom, playing with the brightness of scenes with contrasts. And then the conclusion is clear, almost shocking: in any case, the iPhone 6s offers much more effective results than its competitor. And when you zoom to 200% with the smartphone, the picture is much clearer than with the D750. Yet we must put things in context. First, Morris has coupled a Tamron lens, not Nikkor, the SLR. Also, it is obvious that if the tests were conducted in low light conditions, the situation would have been different, and would certainly played to the disadvantage of the mobile. That said, it offers all the same to take a look at the comparison made in daylight. Because it does nonetheless stunning.

Creative, including the designer, surprise us every day. While the first concepts of the iPhone 7 begin to be revealed, Steel Drake decided to skip his turn to take a small lead. Indeed, it now offers his vision of the iPhone 8! Since this is the iPhone 8, he should not appear before 2016 or 2017. It might have a 3D display with a resolution of 2K and a back camera 12 or 16 megapixels. The battery could finally move on to 2000 mAh and the size of the 5-inch screen. That is certainly what it hopes to designer and that Apple could offer in two years. Indeed, nothing is entirely surprising about these speculations: they are based also on the projects of the firm that provides in particular an improvement of the screen and the battery from the smartphone. In 2017, August 1 2k iPhone with a holographic screen? Regarding the internal components, the designer imagines that this iPhone will be equipped with the next version of Apple A9 processor, the 10nm engraved A9X if technology permits by then. He also believes that the standard storage change. Basic 8 iPhone 32GB and involve the most significant version of 256GB For him, one thing remains certain: Apple will build on a drastic strengthening of the chassis of its smartphone. That's why he imagined the phone with this aspect very "muscular".

In recent days, it is sometimes impossible to obtain, on the Apple Store app, an appointment at the Genius Bar for an intervention on an iPhone (or other iOS product). Conversely there are no problems for Mac. In this case, if the app sends you messages like those below, try your luck on the Apple Support website. For some stores that do not display any booking from the app, we saw slots available from the web page. This is the case eg for Apple Store Rosny 2 or Lille. Others, however, remain inaccessible in both cases, as Lyon Confluence ...

If you want to buy an iPhone but that the budget you are lacking, this is an offer that might interest you: PriceMinister just put online iPhone 5c reconditioned with discount unbeatable: rates start at 248 € for a capacity of 16 GB (we strongly advise against models with 8GB of storage only), 269 € for a capacity of 32GB, and you can recover 20% of your order as a purchase (ie 49.60 € minimum). Subtracting the value of the voucher, the iPhone 5c 16GB thus amounts to € 198.40, and the 32GB model for € 215.20.

And if your next iPhone no longer had a radio but a Qualcomm 4G modem Intel? It is in any case understood that our colleagues from VentureBeat. They said Intel would have created an army of engineers: nearly 1000 people would be mobilized to integrate the house LTE modem 7360 (scheduled for the end of the year) in the next iPhone. According to Intel information would be hard at work to integrate the modem SoC (or System-on-a-chip) Traditional Apple: because point is question of x86 in the next iPhone. So it would be just for Intel to work with Apple to integrate on a single chip SoC Ax apple with a new modem. It would therefore be a single component smaller and more effective response to the current implementation. Then there is the question of the making of this SoC. Intel could take over the production of this new SoC, which would avoid the chipgate this year when TSMC and Samsung produce both a version of A9 SoC. This would certainly salt knowing that current Intel LTE modems as [actiu: 726517 XMM 7260] ... are manufactured by TSMC 28nm process on! The question is whether the rumor true and if Apple and Intel manage to find common ground, admitting that Intel keeps its internal deadlines, which seems to be the case so far. Recall that before Qualcomm takes all for the modem part of the iPhone is the German Infineon radio solution that provided to Apple. Infineon that the day it was bought by Intel no longer delivered any smart radio for iPhone.

Despite a new photo sensor, the iPhone 6s reaches the same score as his predecessor and ranks 10th in the standings behind the main DxOMark Android flagships. The 10th place ranking DxOMark DxOMark is an organization which is responsible for testing cameras in a laboratory, but also the quality of videos and photos of smartphones. The iPhone 6s recently been scrutinized by DxOMark and we can say that his score is not exceptional. Sony Xperia Z5 found leads the standings, and many Android devices and the iPhone finally 6s in 10th position. What draws attention in the results of the iPhone 6s is that with his score he is behind the iPhone 6 Plus and behind its predecessor the iPhone 6 while 6s version received brand new camera sensor. These results show that differences between the iPhone 6 and 6s are fairly minimal. Tiny differences between the iPhone 6 and 6s When classifying DxOMark, iPhone 6s got a score of 83/100 and 80/100 picture video is almost the same score as his little brother. Some differences still between the two smartphones in terms of texture 6s did better than its predecessor but is slightly behind in terms of color management and development. The weakness iphone 6s both in terms of picture video is the noise, it gets a score of 73/100 and 76/100 picture video. Autofocus is however its strong point as well in video than in pictures, it gets 92/100 and 87/100 picture video. This suggests that Apple has fallen behind in the area of ​​the picture with his iPhone 6s although its new sensor should appeal to fans of Instagram.

Each output has its iPhone "gate" almost. After the "antenna gate" of the iPhone 4 in 2010, the "bendgate" in 2014 that affected the iPhone 6, (some models tended to twist too easily), the new iPhone 6S Group - presented during the keynote of returned and has sold 13 million copies in the first three days of commercialization - was entitled to "chipgate" this year. The rumor started to spread at the beginning: Some iPhone 6S have a poorer autonomy than others. In question ? The choice made by Apple to use two different providers for its A9 processors. In this case, Samsung and TSMC, a Taiwanese group. And what are those produced by Samsung that would be less efficient, more chaufferaient and would be more "energy efficient" despite their finer etching, to 14 nanometers (nm), 16 nm against TSMC. Tests to support the French site "Net 01" progressed there was a 55 minutes autonomy apart continuous activity (1) while the US site "Engadget" spoke to him 50 minutes.

Apple again complicates its relationship with justice. In the US, a judge asked, as part of an investigation, to have access to a brand smartphone, in order to consult the information it contained. If Apple expressed able to do so from a strictly technical point of view on the old terminals, the situation would be quite different for newer products and services. Apple states that it it is not possible to view or extract the customer data when operated smartphones iOS 8 and 9. If the machine is blocked, it would not be possible for the group to do skip the password to remove the encrypted data belonging to users. The precise mark in passing that almost 90% of the outstanding work on iOS devices currently 8 or newer. What make more complicated the task of potential investigators. Apple, however, leaves the door open to the authorities stating with Reuters that forcing "Apple extracting data in this case, no clear order of a legal authority, can lead to endanger the trust established between Apple and its customers and even damage our brand image "."

Young Louis was 20, he is a hairdresser in Nancy. In August 2014, it is with friends and suddenly your iPhone 5C housed in the pocket of his trousers reached unbearable temperature. At that time, Louis does not realize that his leg was exposed to heat for longer than suspect ... Too late, his thigh has had time to be burned in the second degree on a 6cm2 surface "I did not immediately understood what was happening." It extracts the pocket device and allowed to cool. Despite the plastic shell of the iPhone 5C and rapid overheating, the young man finds no visible trace of the incident on the phone. It is reported that the East Republican history. Louis's father decides to play the phone warranty and contact Apple. After painstaking efforts to be directed to the right person, he obtained a French interlocutor active since Portugal on the phone. The brand then sends a carrier to corporate costs and routes the iPhone 5C damage to its European platform located in Cork, Ireland. The machine is then examined ... but will never be returned to its owner. A foreign body in the battery Apple follows its procedure and is analyzing the phone. In response, Louis and his father receive a photo of the carcass of the smartphone and its battery with a foreign body. The brand is accusing the holder of the iPhone tampering components, which would have caused the incident. When the father asked that the smartphone be returned to him, the brand agrees, but concedes a referral if the battery is removed. The father protested and even think to make a theft report. Finally, after complex negotiations, the father gets a replacement of damaged smartphone with an identical model.

You may no longer have to make appointments (and pay a fortune) in an Apple Store (or elsewhere) to repair your screen. Apple does appear to be on track to find a solution to make it unbreakable and scratch resistant. The giant apple filed his new idea with the US patent office (United States Patent and Trademark Office). The American multinational would have designed a protection system to protect the screen of his smartphone. The device, introduced in April and unveiled on October 22 on the official website of the patent office, consists of small motorized tabs "function as shock absorbers," says Mic site. They unfold and go protect the screen when it detects a fall. Apple is not at his first attempt in the protection of a smartphone screen. But this system seems more effective. Provided, as shown in the Yahoo site, that the construction of the device a reality. For patent filing simply ensures that none of the competitors of the American giant will be able to steal the idea. Meanwhile, iPhone fans will still have to bring a case to avoid picking up the pieces of their screen ...

Demonstration products in the Apple Store are often abused by hordes of passersby without heart. This is obviously the case of iPhone, groped in every direction by Steven Sterk all the world. This model (iPhone 6) in particular, in an exhibition booth Fnac, was particularly affected - so much so that once stuck in his Lightning dock, it holds upright when others are tilted back ... We had questioned the strength of the Apple Lightning dock plug in our test, but the bases present on the same table remained intact. It is however surprising that the sign and leaves exposed a smartphone also damaged. We also wonder under what circumstances the smartphone could end up in this state ...

Some analysts question the ability of any new iPhone models (6S and 6S Plus) to keep pace with growth driven crazy by their predecessors (6 and 6 Plus). Early indications provided by the results released Tuesday are limited because the new aircraft arrived in stores September 25th only. Apple said to have sold more than 13 million copies on the first weekend, and Tim Cook said Tuesday they aroused "a strong interest in the whole world." Apple boss was confident that iPhone sales would rise again this quarter with the year-end holidays. "Any weakness in sales of iPhones in the quarter ended in late December could fuel concern that the ring [renewal, note] smartphones slows," warned for his part Colin Gillis, analyst at BGC Partners, before the publication of Apple's results. Apple is also looking to diversify, with first shows connected (Apple Watch) launched in April to the first mixed results - the company refused to disclose its sales figures - and an update of streaming Apple TV box, which orders just opened. The Apple brand also put on its new services in music (Music Apple already has 6.5 million paying subscribers) or payments (apple pay). After the United States and the United Kingdom, apple pay will ally with American Express to extend this year in Canada and Australia, and then to Spain, Singapore and Hong Kong next year. These developments, however, have a very limited effect on the results today, but hope they can eventually compensate a potential slowdown in revenue from the iPhone.

The reasons are obvious: why Apple would start selling CDs while the company has launched its streaming service? Better yet, Apple offers more than just computer equipped with CD players, except for a MacBook Pro entry-medieval to the rest of the troop. Hard to believe that the marketing team has found the relevant proposal. However, another idea was found and regards sponsorship of the tour due to the album. The managers of the British singer also reportedly proposed to Apple to sponsor the tour, at 30 million. Again, the proposal seems risky, Apple is very unaccustomed sponsorship (except for a few prestigious events) and making more function in the sponsorship. Anyway, the album will be available in late November, enough to accompany sweets with your long winter evenings. Meanwhile, you can listen to the first single below (for the 374th 729 times).

Apple smartphone users have made a reason: it is impossible to extend their smartphone storage capacity. Moreover, Apple obviously think 16GB of memory can still suffice in a high-end terminal, since the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, latest terminals to date, are offered with such a capacity ... 749 and 859 euros all likewise. Obviously, replace the memory of an iPhone is not as simple as adding a memory card or change the hard drive of a desktop computer. Slashgear explains that those shops practicing real surgery, scalpel in hand. In addition to these physical changes, these installers must also bypass security controls implemented by Apple to prevent such practices. In this case, data vital to the functioning of smartphone, such as identification of the serial number and the operating system are stored on the memory chips (NAND). It is therefore not enough simply to change the memory, we must also make an image of data stored on the original. For now, this operation is only possible on the iPhone 6, it will take years to achieve such an operation on other versions. We are left then to hope that this procedure quickly so that French exports users can expand the memory of their terminal ... cheaply.

The iPhone 8 will probably not arrive before 2018 but it does not matter for the most creative of us. Proof of this is One Plus Digital dedicated his latest concept. Yes, and as many say that puts very high bar because it has a terminal with a screen of a rather special kind .... It's not even nothing to say because it is without borders. One Plus Media has effectively chosen to cover the front of the terminal with a touch screen. He therefore deleted all the usual borders to highlight the slab and must admit that the result is quite impressive. Especially in games and for videos, too. And in common use, it would give what? I think we can all agree that a phone equipped with this type of screen should not be easy to handle in everyday life, as in the street or the RER D. Fortunately, this iPhone 8 is also able to simulate the presence of edges to enhance gripping of the device. Same for the Touch ID reader, too. All is not perfect, however, and the big problem with this concept ultimately is that it looks a little too much to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s back. There is little chance that Jony Ive and his cronies indefinitely retain these lines (and these tongues) and it would have been nice to have something a little different from that side. Please be aware that the original concept was devised by Paul Glaxon. One Plus Media focused in turn on the making of the video and the various inlays.

At Apple, it's all the same armory years. For several years, the Apple brand is launching a new iPhone model every odd year. The iPhone 4 has launched in 2010, 5 in 2012 and 6 two years later. The IT group then completes its range with a so-called declination "s" of these new models every odd year. The iPhone 4S was released in 2011, the 5s and 6s in 2013 this year. The Cupertino company could shake up its timetable for the launch of the iPhone 6c. According to information from Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst usually well informed of the Taiwanese firm KGI, Apple is considering to market a new generation of entry-level iPhone in the first quarter of 2016, reports the specialized site US AppleInsider. After the iPhone 5c, launched in September 2013 in the wake of the iPhone 5s 6c iPhone would complement the latest generation of Apple's smartphone, a few months after the release of the iPhone and iPhone 6s 6s More. 20-30000000 units could be put on sale in the year, says analyst. This new model should look like a iPhone 5s updated. Smaller than its predecessors, it should be equipped with a 4-inch screen - against 4.7 and 5.5 inches for 6s and 6s longer - but would be powered by the same A9 processor manufactured by Samsung and TSMC. It should be available in a metal alloy unlike the iPhone 5c plastic shell which had led to his being perceived as a cheap iPhone at launch. However, it should not benefit from the 3D Touch technology that provides access to various functions and actions according to the degree of pressure exerted on the screen of the latest iPhone.
