• Acoustic Imaging Technology Reported to Replace Touch ID in Future iPhone Models

    Posted on February 24th, 2017 admin No comments

    In its filing for “Acoustic imaging system architecture,” Apple proposes a method by which a conventional capacitive fingerprint sensor like Touch ID might be replaced by an array of acoustic transducers laid out beneath a device display or its protective housing.

    As described in some embodiments, the transducers in a first mode generate acoustic waves, or pulses, capable of propagating through a variety of substrates, including an iPhone’s coverglass. Operation, or driving, of the transducers is managed by a controller.

    The same transducer hardware then enters a second sensing mode to monitor reflections, attenuations, and diffractions to the acoustic waves caused by a foreign object in contact with the input-responsive substrate. Resulting scan data in the form of electrical signals is read by an onboard image resolver, which creates an approximated two-dimensional map.

    Applied to biometric recognition solutions, Apple’s acoustic imaging system might be configured to read a user’s fingerprint. According to the filing, ridges in a finger pad introduce an acoustic impedance mismatch that causes the mechanical waves generated by a transducer to reflect or diffract in a known manner.

    Like other biometric security solutions, the digital maps obtained by an acoustic imaging system are ultimately compared against a database of known assets to authenticate a user.

    Thanks to its design, the acoustic system can be installed practically anywhere in a device chassis, including directly under a display. Other potential points of integration include a screen’s perimeter or bezel, around buttons and in non-input areas of a housing, like a rear chassis. The latter coupling method would allow an example system to sample a user’s entire handprint.

    Indeed, in some cases the system might be configured to scan for particular body parts like a user’s ear or a skin pattern in order to determine how the device is being held. Depending on the implementation, an acoustic imaging system might also serve as a robust replacement for other legacy components like an iPhone’s proximity sensors.

    The patent application goes on to cover system details like ideal materials, transducer placement, controllers, drive chips, component layouts and more.

  • 5 Reasons Why You should Choose iPhone over Android

    Posted on October 10th, 2016 admin No comments

    Even though more and more high-end Android phones appear, like Samsung, LG,Huawei. There are still some key reasons to choose the iPhone over Android if you want to buy a new mobile phone. Here’s why you should pick the iPhone over Android phones.

    1. Guaranteed Software Updates

    iOS is the only platform that keeps updating with new features and bug fixes. In fact, Apple supports old iPhones long after most people stop using them. For example, the latest iOS 10 even works on the iPhone 5, which launched four years ago.
    Android phones rarely get that kind of support. Many manufacturers stop issuing Android updates after a year or so, if you’re lucky. That means you’re likely to miss the latest and greatest features that come to Android each year.

    2. Get the Best Apps First

    Both iPhone and Android have a robust selection of apps, but iPhone still tends to get the best apps first. Developers tend to make more money from the iPhone, which is why it often gets preference over Android. For example, Nintendo’s first Mario game, “Super Mario Run,” will be an iPhone exclusive when it launches later this year.

    3. No “crapware” from Your Wireless Carrier

    Carriers have a lot of control over what appears on Android phones, and they use that leverage to stuff the devices full of apps and services you don’t need. Even worse, those apps are taking up your storage space on phone and often impossible to delete from your device.
    The iPhone never comes with carrier crapware. The software is exactly the same no matter which carrier you buy your iPhone from.

    4. Run Smoothly for Years

    Even you have been using your iPhone for few years, you will find that it still runs very smoothly and you can easily access to all functions. But Android phones will run slowly after using several months. When you want to access some functions, like camera, you have to take a few more minutes, which will waste your time a lot.

    5. The Best Apple Support

    Apple has a vast network for customer support. Just walk into an Apple Store and someone will help you with your issues. It gets messy with Android phones though. In most cases, you have to deal with your wireless carrier if you have a problem with your phone, not the manufacturer, which means you’re working with people who aren’t as well-versed in how your device works.

  • iPhone Fell from 3rd to 5th in China’s Smartphone Marketshare

    Posted on August 2nd, 2016 admin No comments

    The study, generated by Strategy Analytics, claims that vendor shipments by Apple dropped from 9.7 million to 7.3 million from the second quarter of 2015 to the second quarter of 2016. The drop in sales because of mixed demand for the iPhone 6s in the Chinese arena led to a significant decrease in overall marketshare from 9.2 percent in the year-ago quarter to 6.7 percent currently.

    China’s native smartphone manufacturers are taking up the huge market. Vivo and Oppo both maintain solid sales with device quality, greater retailer penetration, and rising brand awareness among consumers. In the same time period as Apple’s decline, Vivo rose from 7.4 percent of the overall marketshare, to 11.9 percent. Oppo climbed from 6.9 percent to 13.9 percent. The leading enterprise in China’s smartphone market, Huawei, climbed from 15.8 percent to 17.5 percent.
    phone sales

    “In the first three quarters of this fiscal year, our total revenue from Greater China was almost $40 billion,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said, regarding the Chinese marketplace. Cook noted that revenue was “up 55 percent from the same time frame just two years ago, while iPhone units were up 47 percent.”

    In the latest set of Apple quarterly results, revenue from Greater China came in at $8.85 billion, a decrease of 33 percent from the same quarter last year. Revenue decreased both from the decrease in sales in the quarter, as well as the depreciation of the Chinese yuan against the dollar. The decrease of iPhone’s sales led to Apple’s sales decline in the last quarter.

    The big hit of Android phones are also attracting more and more iPhone users to wonder about switching from their iPhone to Android phones. However, it is quite difficult for iPhone users to transfer data from iPhone to Android phone. Leawo Software, one of the leading developers and providers for multimedia software of iPhone/Android phone, releases a piece of data transfer software to help transfer data between Android phone and Apple iPhone.

    In a year with the China smartphone shipments growing 3.7 percent, the country still remains the world’s largest market for smartphones. China accounts for one in three smartphone shipments worldwide, according to Strategy Analytics.

  • Apple iPhone 5 news: one of the two 3.999 inches new Apple iPhone being tested would be iPhone 5

    Posted on May 23rd, 2012 David Brooks No comments

    The new iPhone has been talked for a long time. People are guessing about what it would bring and when it would come out. I have written a post on the release date of iPhone 5 which indicates no release of iPhone 5 on this WWDC. And this seems to be more reliable since the latest news from 9to5Mac. The Phonearena writer Alan F has wrote a post about the news from 9to5Mac. Check the news bellow:

    According to 9to5Mac, at Apple HQ, testing is taking place on a couple of prototype handsets, one of which will probably become the next Apple iPhone 5. The prototypes are disguised by being put in thick black shells which are designed to hide the true identity of the phone inside. Two of the models being tested have larger screens than the current 3.5 inches that used to be considered generously sized when the first Apple iPhone was launched in 2007. Since then, we have seen the envelope widen from the 4.3 inches that seemed so large on the HTC HD2 to the 5.3 inches on the Samsung GALAXY Note. The two Apple iPhone prototypes with the larger screen are internally called the iPhone 5.1 and the iPhone 5.2.

    iPhone 5

    The HTC HD2 raised the bar with its 4.3 inch screen

    Both the iPhone 5.1 and the iPhone 5.2are in the PreEVT stage of testing and go by the code names N41AP and N42AP respectively. The pair both sport a 3.999 inch screen, measured diagonally. Besides increasing the size of the display, Apple is also adding pixels to the screen as the new models have a resolution of 640 x 1136, which produces excellent digital enjoyment of watching HD videos on iPhone 5. That’s an extra 176 pixels added down. The width of the screen will remain 1.9632 but will now be 3.484 inches tall and the aspect ratio will be close to 16:9.

    There is also speculation that Apple will be working to maximize the extra real estate on iOS 6 by adding a fifth row of icons (not including the stationary icons, of course) and this is where the extra pixels come in to keep the screen a Retina display. Both of these models are said to have a home button and a smaller dock connector. The new dock connector is said to be a smaller version of the current 30-pin one and is said to be in between a micro USB connector and a mini one.

    Considering that the last two Apple iPhone models ended up on the floor of a bar, we would imagine that the Cupertino based firm has tightened up security in terms of who can test a unit off-campus and who gets to take a prototype home.

  • iPhone 5 news: No iPhone 5 release on WWDC while more focus on iPhone 5 screen

    Posted on May 21st, 2012 David Brooks No comments

    It’s been a long time for people rumoring Apple iPhone 5. People care about iPhone 5 release date, iPhone 5 specs, iPhone 5 price, iPhone 5 versions, etc. It’s commonly rumored before that the iPhone 5 might get released on this WWDC, which is going to be held next month. But, now that a pretty strong consensus is gelling that there will be no iPhone 5 unveiling at the Worldwide Developers Conference next month, focus of speculation has turned once again to issues of the iPhone 5 screen size. There have been rumors that the next Apple iPhone would adopt a flexible OLED panel on a curved surface. That seems to be possible for Apple is taking a more active interest in OLED technology. As for the screen size, there have been rumors that iPhone 5 would include a 4” or even larger display. Reuters even projected more specifically that the next iPhone 5 screen size would be 4.6 inches.

    iPhone 5

    It would be awesome for owners to enjoy HD videos on iPhone 5 whatever screen size the iPhone 5 adopts, as either 4.0 or 4.6 inches screen would produces better visual effect than watching HD videos on iPhone 4S. But these are just rumors, as Apple may not adopt larger screen display on iPhone 5. There are some objectively good reasons why Apple has kept the screen dimension at 3.5 inches through the iPhone’s first five generations. An obvious one it that it facilitates an ideally pocketable size and lower weight than a larger panel would. Another of course is that smaller displays enhance battery runtime per charge. Larger screen display consumes more battery, while Apple iPhones have been always hoped to be increased in battery performance.

    Meanwhile, the larger display on iPhone 5 would present new challenges for developers as apps may not work as good on larger screen display as used to operate on smaller screen display. Of course, challenges are always accompanied with opportunities. There’re also great opportunities for developers.

    But we are still back to the words that it’s still too early to talk about these things as there’s no official news about the new iPhone screen size and materials. We still have to wait for the official iPhone 5 release, which is highly believed to be the mid to late September or more likely October, either on the anniversary of the 2011 iPhone 4S release, or to commemorate a year since Steve Jobs’s death.
