Posted on by Jay

Earlier this week, out of uncertainty, Apple released an iOS 6.1 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. This update is the first major update to iOS 6, since its launch in the last year. There have been minor updates before this, such as iOS 6.0.1 and iOS 6.0.2, but they were flawed with issues. The features introduced in iOS 6.1 are not necessarily groundbreaking, but as a fix and improvements to its previous mistakes. Let’s take a look at these features.

  • ‘Siri’ Integration To Search Movies:

Siri has made it extremely simple to find movies, and then buy tickets from Fandango. It is also required to install the Fandango iPhone application to make this feature actually work.  Movies lovers would find this feature to be an extremely fitting update.

  • Apple Maps App:

Apple has definitely improved its Map App with this update. Some of the previous bugs are fixed but hasn’t been solved completely. Along with this it has also added a prominent ‘report a problem’ button.

  • Music Controls:

There is a newly fashioned Lock Screen Music controls in iOS 6.1. When the home button is pressed twice, the music controls pops up. It has been featured to access the music even if the screen is locked. The control interfaces and theme also go well with the Music app itself.

  • Fixed Wi-Fi Issues:

iOS 6.1 on iPhone 5 has resolved all issues from iOS 6.0.2 update. The network connection seems to be strong and stable.

Along with all these features it has also fixed the issue of unexpected OS boot where as the power management is still not satisfying with this update.

    9. Try to prefer building Native Apps for iPhones to web apps, because some web technologies are still not compatible with the iOS platform.

    12. Design your app so that it uses minimal battery power. Users are more concerned about the phone battery rather than the app itself.
    13. Develop cross-platform apps, so that it can be released for other mobile operating systems.

Samsung Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5 – Which one to pick?

Posted on by Jay

Now iPhone 5 has been launched and available for sale, people swarm to the Apple Stores all over to buy this new iPhone. There is also Samsung Galaxy S3 which was launched recently in May 2012 and available at most of the Smartphone vendors. So which one are you choosing? Apple has witnessed doubled pre-orders for its new iPhone after the launch although critics don’t think Apple came up with a revolutionary iPhone as expected. Rather they praise the Galaxy S3 which has some improved features as compared to iPhone 5. So let’s make a comparison between the two and you judge.

Here you go:

Processor And Memory:

Galaxy S3:

1.4 GHz Quad core Exynos processor; 16/32 GB, extendible to 64GB

iPhone 5:

A6 dual-core processor- clocked with 1GHz;  16/32/64 GB

OS:

Galaxy S3:

Screen:

Galaxy S3:

4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED screen with max resolution of 720 x 1280

iPhone 5:

4 inchHD LCD display screen with 640 x 1136 maximum resolution

P.S: iPhone 5 screens looks pretty big with quality media playback and gaming. Apple once stated that its iPhone size is the standard size for a Smartphone. But later proved wrong by companies like Samsung and HTC, Apple itself increased the size of its iPhone.

Size and Weight:

Galaxy S3:

4.69 ounces(133 grams); 8.6 mm thick

iPhone 5:

20 grams lighter weighing 3.95 ounces (112 grams); 7.6 mm thick

Camera:

Galaxy S3:

8MP Rear Face Camera; 1.9 MP Front Facing Camera

iPhone 5:

8MP Rear Face Camera; 0.9 MP Front Facing Camera

NFC(Near Field Communication): A technology to enable fast radio communication between two devices.
Galaxy S3: YES;           iPhone 5: NO

In summary, both the devices are competitive and possess different advantages.  Users need to match their needs and pick accordingly. At the same time, iPhone application development and Android application development both are improving day by day.
