Cool Future Wind: with handle iPhone 6 Concept Design


iPhone 6 concept design again. Designers Sahanan Yagarasa today announced he envisioned for the future iPhone concept works. Before we see the concept and design is different, this time for the iPhone name Yagarasa 6 adds a "Pro" in the name, display its "superior" professional level. Judging from the description published, Yagarasa anticipated iPhone 6 Pro is indeed worthy of its title.

Apple A8 equipped with self-developed chips, iOS 8 operating system, 16-megapixel rear camera and 3MP FaceTime camera, sensors monitor heart rate, etc. This is iPhone 6 Pro some of the main parameters and specifications. In addition, iPhone Pro also with a very magical gamepad. Although the market has a variety of compatible gamepad iOS 7, but, and this one we see today is simply weak compared to burst.
After embedding handle the iPhone, users can play games through the projector mode, this feature will be the main selling point of the iPhone Pro. If this can become a reality, a large number of games will surely shout enjoyable. Previously, we have seen a similar projection concept design, but Yagarasa projection technology and will be combined with the idea of ​​pairing the handle, then the perfect solution before the designers did not take into account the battery problem. What do you think?

iPhone6 sapphire screen or increased costs


Apple iPhone6 ​​Although the listing is expected in the third quarter, but has first heat to ignite the investment market, due to the size of enlarged plan iPhone6 ​​launch 5.5-inch product, the market came Apple intends to raise prices, each priced at $ 100 to reflect the increase in size and specifications enlarge further evolution. Since Apple sapphire material for solid pile moves frequently, if iPhone6 ​​smooth sapphire panel, will bring the outbreak of the sapphire industry growth momentum. Industry bluntly, Apple sapphire panel just a matter of time, Apple is working on testing.
Sapphire factory said that Apple has begun testing polishing sapphire panel sample of about 1 to 20,000. Manufacturers pointed out that the glass panels because Apple supply chain technology and 伯恩光 Lance iPhone6 ​​if Apple introduced the use of sapphire panel high-end models, is bound to purchase due to lack of source material on the market, sapphire plant, said the plant is very likely in Taiwan marketed indirectly into the supply chain. It is understood that Apple intends to launch a limited 10 million sapphire panel high-end models, the estimated monthly demand for materials up to 150 ~ 1,800,000 (approximately 2 inches when production capacity).

Increased costs caused by iPhone6 ​​sapphire screen?
Latest news, Jefferies analyst famous Wall Street investment bank in the latest Apple PeterMisek research report, Apple has begun negotiations with operators iPhone6 ​​will raise the price of $ 100.
PeterMisek said tracking by Apple that Apple is negotiating the price with the intention of the new machine operators, the estimated increase in the $ 100. The initial reply carriers do not agree, but this year no other revolutionary product, this price increase is expected to be very likely to be required operators license.
If the price is really $ 100, then the contract price will be $ 299 iPhone6 ​​(about 1870 yuan), bare metal price $ 749 (about 4,660 yuan), the reason As Apple prices, PeterMisek did not give the analysis. However, the manufacturers have reduced the retail price of the phone, Apple unexpectedly opposite direction, it is difficult to understand, but there are a lot of big companies have the opposite direction with anti-achievement on the world market, such as former Hewlett-Packard, Red Sequoia capital, etc., while Apple is more than the strength of these companies, I believe that such a move naturally has its reasons, but for users, it is not considered good news.

According to previous reports, Apple will be released later this year iPhone6, rumors that this phone has 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch versions. In addition to a larger display, iPhone6 ​​will run iOS8 systems, and the use of thinner design, equipped with Apple A8 processor, TouchID fingerprint recognition sensor, 1GB of memory to run, optical image stabilization in the camera.

iPhone 5S understand your "core": M7 coprocessor Analysis


In addition to the fingerprint identification, 64 of the A7 processor, Apple also introduced such a chip conference: M7 coprocessor. The main role of this chip, that is dedicated to monitoring the dynamic data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, compass and other sensors, reducing CPU load, thereby extending battery life. And after the conference, Apple announced more information this M7, in addition to power, in fact, it more competent job.


With the development of smart phones, mobile phones integrate more and more sensors. If the data obtained from these sensors are to the CPU to operate, it will certainly greatly increase the load on the CPU, because these data are interactive dynamic between the CPU will certainly be very frequent, so since the power consumption will be very obvious. If a chip is designed specifically to do this job, one can liberate CPU, on the other hand can improve efficiency, but also greatly saving. Thus, M7 appeared.
Of course, Apple is certainly not the first to add specialized management sensor chip manufacturers. There is a precedent in the Android camp, such as Galaxy S4, Note 2, etc., but their different names: Sensor Hub. The principle is as much a collection of sensors will work on a co-processor chip, but not before pulling out a separate major publicity. It can be said that Apple is more clever in this regard, in the case of small innovative iPhone 5S, such a selling point for the product can add a lot of color, but also took a lot easier to remember names.
In fact, Moto X brings X8 processor systems also have the same purpose, X8 computing systems by the 1.7GHz dual-core Qualcomm Xiao S4 Pro processor, quad-core Adreno 320 GPU and two in charge of language interpretation (using Google Now, while no effect on cause too much stress life), and the correlation calculation (Management sensor) composed of Motorola processors, of which the sensor manager and the effect is similar to M7.
Apple has not announced for the iPhone 5S M7 in the end how much power can the province, but the latter's official life perspective, 1570mAh battery capacity can call 10 hours to provide 3G, LTE / Wi-Fi Internet 10 hours, 3G Internet 8 hours, 10 hours of video playback, the music playback 40 hours, standby 250 hours (both max). Is not look good?
In addition to saving to reduce the CPU load plus outside, M7 coprocessor can be applied as a fitness class offers a variety of API, so that by opening up more easily develop application software. These scenarios such as the following: When you're walking, running, driving time, M7 can be detected by the sensor your environment, such as you walk down from the car, M7 can be recalculated on the current path, and out through the application of feedback; as another example, when you sleep longer use the phone (without shutdown under), M7 signal can be sent to the CPU, lowering its frequency, and reduce network signal detection, in order to extend battery life.
Future, M7 coprocessor can do more. It is reported that Apple is testing a new map application, when users stop, M7 can detect and automatically record the location of the car, when the user returns, iPhone through the map to help users find the location of the car. And this is just one instance.
For current mobile phones, smart is no longer stronger hardware configuration, but the perception and more processing power, which is the future development trend of smart phones.

iPhone 6 running iOS 8 screenshots screen indeed greater exposure


Apple will launch in the third quarter of this year a new iPhone 6, but before WWDC conference will debut on iOS 8. For fruit powder, iPhone 6 and iOS 8 do not have to wait that long. Yesterday, an iPhone 6 8 system running iOS screenshot exposure from 5X7 icon arrangement is not difficult to see that the next generation iPhone 6 screen is indeed greater.


Weibo users zmeric exposure system a screenshot iPhone 6, the resolution of this screenshot 1600x966, 16:9 ratio of not, if the screen size is 4.7 inches, it will be close to its pixel density 400ppi, far more than the standard 300ppi retina a.

Greater size and resolution, making the iPhone 6 significantly increased the number of charts, there is increased iPhone 5S's 4X6 5X7. These icons, many of us have never seen before, such as Healthbook, Watch Utility, etc. These may be things in June's WWDC, Apple will introduce our emphasis.

Apple's new patent allows iPhone6 screen or pressing efforts to identify different



Thanks capacitive touch screen, iPad can detect all the right touch. But this can not perceive touch touch screen intensity. According to reports, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved a new touch technology Apple patent application in 2012, this patent describes a capacitive touch and a combination of infrared detector to accurately detect the intensity of the user presses the screen technology. This technology allows users without relying on complex physical hardware can accurately convey the pressure on a touch surface, so that the user interface navigation and interactive form to reach a new dimension.
According to the description of the patent document, the bottom of the touch screen system deployed in one or more infrared emitters, may touch the cover glass to the infrared light emitted at a specific angle. These angles can be selected between the cover glass on top and bottom surfaces and the surrounding air and the reflected light emitted by the finger 100% reflection. When the light reflection cover glass to get inside, it will trigger an infrared transmitter can calculate the total number of all reflections receiver, the receiver is based on whether the reflected light from the surrounding air or the user's finger to display different output readings.

Unlike other systems, Apple's patent does not require precise transfer restrictions, as long as there are differences to internal reflection. More important is the measurement of the attenuation can be emitted from the surface of the glass used to determine whether the emitted infrared rays are absorbed finger or air. In addition, Apple also mentioned the use of a fourth color OLED layer output in the infrared wavelength, and the use of ultrasound and other acoustic signal measurement FTIR.

Infrared method to determine the user touches the screen, called the infrared spectrum. IR is essentially a multi-touch optical detection method of detecting the finger touch screen reflecting infrared. When combined capacitive touch, a touch can be measured intensity. Infrared spectroscopy has been used to Microsoft's Perceptive Pixel products. Microsoft provides several large screen using infrared spectroscopy multi-touch sensing devices, and is called Microsoft Pixel Sense technology. This technique is also used in the Samsung SUR40.

As Microsoft's technology, also used in the red spectral camera to detect the pressure of light refraction, which allows people to use a device, it is possible to identify the distinction between objects and fingers.
While Apple has not yet implantable pressure sensor technology in the touch screen mobile devices, but the company in the past few years has been exploring various pressure detection technology. Have developed a pressure sensor, a pressure sensing device shell. It is unclear whether Apple will plan to the above IR technology in its future iOS devices, but will increase the force sensing element allows Apple beyond existing static gesture touch operation, upgrade to a whole new level of interaction . According to the present situation, the possibility of the patent is applied to the next generation iPhone6 ​​is not large, so the majority of users still need to be patient.

iPhone6 Display Aspect lot


Apple also recently obtained a patent, the patented technology allows the user to detect the intensity of touch on the display device used. This patent uses a called frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) techniques and the touch sensor to determine the current intensity applied to the display.
Multi-touch FTIR alternative is essentially a test. FTIR uses infrared light reflected back to determine the display case. If there is no interference, infrared light can be completed by screen reflection; If interference occurs (such as a finger on the display), the sensor will identify this touch operation to determine the location from which the display.
Interference and touched by comparing FTIR data, the technology Apple users can determine a force exerted on the display. Previously, Apple tried to estimate the intensity of their mobile devices by acceleration sensor. For example, Apple's GarageBand application which will use the acceleration sensor, the user can determine the intensity of a key on the virtual keyboard applied to adjust the volume accordingly.

This technology can be implemented in addition to "click" and "as more expressive than the makeup touch input. The patent filing in 2012, he will be able to become a new attraction iPhone6​​.

Samsung GALAXY S5 chip Secret dismantling report released







Samsung GALAXY S5 coming in the Global Offering, and how this new machine in the end there is a change in the internal structure than in the past, especially in the new fingerprinting and heart rate sensor and other functions, in the end what is special about a topic of concern to everyone . Recently, foreign professional website ChipWorks first to release the Samsung GALAXY S5 dismantling reports, and for us the machine each chip Secret information.
Core chip from Qualcomm
The dismantling of the Samsung GALAXY S5 ChipWorks Korea version SM-G900S, identical to other versions in the overall hardware specifications, but differ in the network. At the same time people are more familiar with the site iFixit disassembled different, ChipWorks more concerned with the analysis of microscopic observation chip inside the phone, so the show's content is also important to focus on the parts of the chip, and rarely involves the process of dismantling and maintenance.
According to information released ChipWorks display Samsung GALAXY S5 internal use have six large number of chips from Qualcomm, and are part of the core. Among them, most people are concerned about the processor, the machine is equipped with a 801 2.4GHz Xiaolong (MSM8974AC) processors are packaged under the memory chips, can be clearly seen in the dismantling chip models. In addition, Qualcomm Samsung GALAXY S5 also provides power management unit; packet tracing PA; radio receivers; RF transceiver and audio encoder chip. As for the phone memory and flash memory is Samsung's own K3QF2F0DA 2GB of memory and Samsung KLMBG4GEAC 32GB flash memory.

Biometric Sensor
As different approaches sensor Samsung GALAXY S5 new fingerprint recognition allegedly used from Maxim, but with iPhone 5S will be placed on the Home key fingerprint sensor, the Samsung is divided into two parts, although the fingerprint sensor is also mounted on the Home key years, but also to accept the input of the touch screen, you need to use to load the user's fingerprint ID. The course of its work is part of the touch screen can detect finger waving, and then start the Home button in the sensor-related recognition.
In addition, other exposure chips or display aircraft is equipped with Invensense MP65M P02881 L1405 six-axis gyroscope / accelerometer, and has NXP 47803 NFC chip and a security module, the same time as a Korean version of the reason, it is also built FCI FC8080 terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting tuner, which allows mobile phones to receive digital TV programs. In addition to using the power amplifier from Anwar, outside multimode, multiband power amplifier and acoustic resonator cavity, such as thin-film chips, the machine in order to obtain better sound quality is also loaded with Audience ADNC ES704 independent audio processor.

ISOCELL CMOS sensor
Previous Samsung GALAXY S series camera is Sony sensors are used, but this is the first time the GALAXY S5 uses its own 16 million pixel 1/2.6 "in ISOCELL CMOS sensor, known as the interference can be reduced by 30 percent, increased by 30 percent per the amount of light absorbed by the pixels, and is considered to be substituted Samsung back-illuminated (BSI) of the next sensor technology.
Notably, in the next Samsung GALAXY S5 with the LED flash is added next to the heart rate monitor, the main principle is the use of red light, infrared light irradiation your finger, the finger surface and the pulse beat detection caused by pressure change to get the user's heart rate data.
