One Bad Apple? Top Apple Experts Weigh In on Controversial Slow iPhones

April 11, 2018by Samantha MendozaNo Comments

Last year, reports about the slow performance of older iPhone models broke out, prompting speculations and conspiracy theories about the sudden changes. Reddit users first highlighted the speed problem, contemplating about its possible causes.

Apps take longer than usual to load, and speakers are less loud. Other observable changes include lower frame rates while scrolling, backlight dimming. Apps refreshing in the background require reloading upon launch, and in extreme cases, camera flash will be disabled as visible in the camera UI.

Some changes may not be noticeable for some users, but the furore has brought the issue to the fore, fueling a plethora of misinformation and accusations. Many theorize that the tech giant itself is largely involved, that the move to slow down the performance of older iPhone models is deliberate.

Some even go as far as saying that the motive is to convince users to switch to newer iPhone models. The uproar is understandable since Apple prides itself in providing the best user experience.

Indeed, it is a murky business of pure speculations and diverse claims, but what do the tech experts say? We have asked more than a dozen leading specialists about their opinions. Read on if you want to know whether Apple deliberately slowed down the performance of older iPhones.

After you finish reading, you can form your own judgment and make up your own mind. Keeping yourself updated about the happenings in the world of technology can enlighten you about pressing issues you experience yourself and avoid the unnecessary jumping to conclusions.


Jeffrey Mincey, Bohemian Boomer

  “Yes, Apple has admitted to slowing down certain older iPhones to prevent performance issues as batteries aged. Apple did the right thing but should have been more open and transparent about the change. Any consideration of Apple ‘throttling’ iPhones to give customers an incentive to upgrade goes against Apple’s history of making iOS upgrades available on many older models; far more than Android OS. Think about what those upgrades mean to customers.”

About Jeffrey Mincey

Jeffrey Mincey’s passion is his family and the Mac. Sometimes forgetting which comes first, he makes a living using the Mac and PCs which helps his family do all that they love. That is why he together with his wife, Jesse, created Bohemian Boomer

For five years Jeffrey has been a staff writer for the popular Mac review site, Mac360. That association has given him a wonderful opportunity to review the best (and worst) of Mac applications


Benny Ling, Apple Talk

“Apple definitely slowed down older iPhones, saying as much in a series of public statements and support articles published to customers. From what I’ve read, it seems they slowed down older iPhones with chemically-aged batteries for the right reasons, even if they went about it the wrong way. Whether you think slower devices is better than the ones which operate at full performance but have a chance to shut down unexpectedly is up to you, which is probably why Apple will release iOS 11.3 in the not-too-distant future allowing iPhone owners to choose between the two.”

About Benny Ling

Benny is a Mac and PC enthusiast, uber-geek extraordinaire, all-around nice guy, keyboard warrior, and most definitely an introvert. He used to write for a little site called MacTalk, as well as a similar site called NZMac. Benny now manages and writes for AppleTalk Australia.


David Mark, Loop Insight

“I believe Apple throttled the performance to keep a specific set of iPhones from crashing in a specific set of circumstances. I think their goal was in service of the customer. Slowing down the processor placed less demand on the battery, extending the phone’s life as the battery started to die.” Was this intentional? I believe that is the case. But a better question is, did Apple do this to try to urge a user to buy a new iPhone. I feel certain that was never the case. If Apple was guilty of anything, it was a lack of communication about what they were doing

About David Mark

Dave is an author, developer, and entrepreneur. He’s written more than 30 books, including The Mac Programming Primer series, Ultimate Mac Programming, Learn C on the Mac, and Beginning iPhone Development.

Dave bought his first Mac back in 1984 and has never looked back. He worked at Metrowerks, purveyors of the finest black T-shirts and development tools, helped start MartianCraft, Kiddar, and SpiderWorks.


Ian Fuchs, MacTrast

“If devices showed abnormal battery performance, they may be subject to overall reduced speed to provide a more consistent experience. I believe that Apple had every intention of doing this to provide a more satisfying experience to iPhone owners, but their poor initial communication resulted in a large number of inflammatory comments about the matter. I do not believe this was done in any sort of effort to encourage upgrading, but instead to help extend the life of older phones for those that aren’t ready to upgrade .”

About Ian Fuchs

Ian, Senior Review Editor at MacTrast, has been an Apple enthusiast for years, starting in 2000 with an iMac and iMovie. In college, Ian developed skills and further interest in all things Apple. Ian’s expanding skill set increased his love for Apple’s products.

Ian resides in Chicago, works as a Programmer & Systems Analyst at a college, loves his dog more than probably normal, spends most of his free time with his wife and plays various instruments (drums, guitar, piano, trumpet)


Jignesh Padhiyar, iGeeksBlog

“Yes, I believe that Apple deliberately throttled the performance of the older iPhones. But, the tech giant did so to prevent the smartphones from unexpected rebooting and manage power efficiently. It would be absolutely idiotic even to assume that the Cupertino-based company slowed down the older iPhones to force users to upgrade to the newer iPhones. Come on….Apple is too big a brand to even think that! All those who are calling for the heads of the iPhone maker and accusing the company to have cheated upon the users are desperately trying to malign its unparalleled reputation. They are either too jealous or cynic to distinguish between black and white! We wish Apple had been just a bit clearer on the battery slowdown issue—right from the ball one!”

Christian Boyce, Christian Boyce

“Yes, I do think that Apple deliberately slowed down the performance of the older iPhones, but they did it to help users, not to chase them into purchasing new iPhones. Older iPhones have older batteries, and older batteries don’t perform the way they did when they were once new. Apple realized that older batteries (under some circumstances— that is, under heavy loads) would not be able to deliver the power needed, so they slowed the phones down— when they thought they had to— in order to keep the phones from shutting down altogether. Apple’s goal with the performance reductions was to extend the lives of older iPhones, not to get people to buy new ones. The fact that Apple has reduced the price of the battery replacement to $29 serves to emphasize the idea that Apple is really, really trying to make it easy for you to stretch the life of your iPhone— and to maintain peak performance.”

About Christian Boyce

Christian Boyce is an iPhone consultant, as well as an author of Mac-related how-to books. He started his business in 1987, three years after the introduction of the original Macintosh computer— and twenty years BEFORE the introduction of the original iPhone. His customers include art departments, designers, small businesses, and individuals wanting to learn how to use their Apple devices better and faster. Mr. Boyce resides in Santa Monica, California.


Adam Rosen, Vintage Mac Museum

“The short answer is no, I don’t think Apple deliberately slows down the performance of older iPhones But the situation is more complicated than that. Each newer iOS version tends to use more resources than its predecessor, which puts a greater strain on the hardware. The same thing happens with desktops and laptops. Without some upgrade to the hardware, a newer OS version will often run pokier than an older version. As the years go on, small changes add up. Apple tries to mitigate these effects by disabling performance throttling features.  And as we’ve learned, old batteries cause problems themselves – with all computing devices.”

About Adam Rosen

Adam Rosen is an IT consultant specializing in Apple Macintosh systems new and old, and curator of the Vintage Mac Museum. He has over 30 years of experience on the platform and lives in Boston with two cats and many Macs. He also enjoys a good libation.


Marty Yawnick, Life in Lofi 

“Not really. Each new iPhone usually gets a significantly faster processor than the previous iPhones. My iPhone 6s Plus – still a pretty beefy device – is glacially slow compared to the speed of the new iPhone X. Personally, I think the problem is that Apple is just too generous with the older devices that each new iOS supports. Just because an OS can run on an older iPhone, doesn’t mean it always should. I think while beta testing iOS upgrades, they should keep real world usage of older devices in mind. If those devices bog down and run slow, the device should not be supported. I really believe that it’s not planned obsolescence. I really believe it’s nothing sinister on the part of Apple. I just think that’s the life cycle of old hardware, whether it’s a computer, and iPad, or an iPhone.”

About Marty Yawnick

Marty Yawnick is the creator and publisher of LifeInLoFi.com, one of the original iPhoneography blogs. He is also a self-employed graphic designer in the Fort Worth/Dallas Metroplex as well as an avid Rangers baseball, Chicago Cubs, Packers and Highbury Arsenal fan.

If you’re wondering where he’s been lately, Marty is currently working on a project about Pink Floyd The Wall, which you can check out at TheWallComplete.com.


Lloyd Chamber, DigLloyd

“One need not over-analyze this issue—it boils down to one this: The most rational approach to a real issue (degraded battery performance over time) is when and how to communicate the solution and when to release the solution. Apple’s mistake was twofold:

(1) It did not clearly announce the aging-battery life issue and effects months before enacting mitigating software changes.

(2) Apple implemented aging battery mitigations before implementing software control over it, so that anyone with time on their hands could just turn it off instead of having a few beers and talking about class-action lawsuits.

With millions of users, software changes are bound to cause problems for someone. That coupled with “no good deed goes unpunished” can only lead to headaches for users and Apple alike. The solution as with all other Apple goofs, is to communicate changes well in advance, and to ship changes only when thoroughly tested and with a “kill switch” for things like this that might go awry for some users— or at least to deflect grumpy irrational users.”

About Lloyd Chambers

Lloyd’s eponymous diglloyd.com website publishes a popular blog and a wide variety of articles and guides geared towards professional and advanced photographers. Lloyd’s print articles may be found in Photo Technique magazine.  He also runs Macintosh Performance Guide, which he gives the most sage advice on selecting and configuring a Mac, especially for photographers.

Asides from being a photographer and a computer expert, Lloyd is also an avid cyclist.


Steve Hildreth, MacPrices

“Apple has stated that their intention was to allow iPhones to operate as close to normal as possible with a depleted battery, with minimal shutdowns and freezes. This makes sense from an engineering standpoint, especially if the speed of an iPhone relies partially on battery power. Unfortunately, in this case, it appears that their engineering sense backfired from a marketing standpoint. Giving users the option of manually changing this setting is a good solution.”

About Steve Hildreth

Steve Hildreth is a publisher, webmaster, & editor-in-chief of MacPrices.net. Steve is a registered Apple Developer Connection Member and has been writing for MacPrices since 1998.


Jim Martin, Tech Advisor

“There’s empirical evidence that iPhones become slower as they get older. Whether that’s done by actual throttling of performance to maintain battery life or because the older hardware simply cannot cope with the demands of the new software, iPhones running the latest version of iOS can be less responsive than when they were new. Unfortunately owners largely have no choice but to update to the latest software as Apple regularly ends support for features and apps on older versions of iOS. Some people therefore feel they’re being forced into upgrading to newer hardware.”

About Jim Martin

Jim is editor of Tech Advisor and has been testing and reviewing products for almost 20 years. These days he covers smart home, drones, laptops, tablets, gadgets, Windows, iOS, dash cams and storage. Jim is also a petrolhead and connoisseur of fine beers.


Oliver Drobnik, Cocoanetics

“Apple was having the problem that iPhones with older batteries shut down under load, while the battery gauge showed that it was still 30% or more charged. I was hit by this myself multiple times listening to podcasts (over cellular), on bluetooth headphones while it relatively cold outside.

So Apple decided to throttle devices meeting certain conditions to avoid this unfortunate shutdown. Apple solved the issue as they always do: They gather a lot of data, “captured” iPhones that were being sent in by people like me to have an AppleCare exchange for this reason, and then they devised a technical solution that would limit the number of shutdowns.

What they didn’t do is to properly communicate their conclusions and decided upon solution, maybe hoping that most people would move on to newer phones and thus the problem going away by itself. When somebody noticed that their iPhone suddenly performed like new, after having gotten a new battery, the whole story came to light.

Since we cannot do anything about Lithium-ion batteries having a limited life span and Apple decided to not have user-replaceable batteries, there need to be several things happening.

First, users need to be made aware right from the start that they can only charge their new iPhone a limited number of times.

Second, when batteries have reached the end of their useful life the user should be asked whether they want to continue to use it at degraded performance, get an inexpensive replacement battery or get a discount for trading in their phones (so that the battery can be recycled)

Apple seems to be doing all of this now. My opinion is that it should not have needed such a media uproar for them to being proactive in that regard. By waiting until “somebody complained“ the damage is now done that people tend to think Apple was doing it intentionally, to avoid service costs (from people calling AppleCare and getting devices replaced) and to leave this thorn in peoples side that might cause them to upgrade to new devices sooner.”

About Oliver Drobnik

Oliver Drobnik has been developing on Apple platforms since the first SDK was released at 2008. At the end of 2009 he turned full time developer and started his blog Cocoanetics.com. Besides doing mostly contract work for several international clients, he wrote Barcodes with iOS published by Manning. He loves to share his love for Swift by speaking at conferences. At the moment he is kept very busy by his growing family and building his first house.


Anthony Caruana, Macworld Australia

“The real question isn’t whether they did. The question to ask is whether they were right to do so without letting customers know. When we think about performance, there are several dimensions. Processor speed is just one metric. There’s also network speed, how quickly data can be read and written to storage,and the performance of the display and battery life. All of those things are balanced and traded off against each other. qSo, what we really need consider is whether slower overall system performance is a price with paying for longer battery life and if Apple was acting reasonably to their customers in slowing devices with older batteries down in order to preserve the experience of longer battery life. In my view, the decision should have been left to users  – which is what Apple will be doing with a forthcoming update to iOS.”

About Anthony Caruana

Anthony is an editor at Australian Macworld, but he has also contributed to many other publications. He appears on radio regularly but he has also appeared on A Current Affair, Today Tonight, The Project, The Business and other national TV shows.


Dan Moren, Six Colors

“Apple has acknowledged that its system which aims to preserve battery life can have an adverse performance impact on affected devices. Even though its intent—to prevent devices from shutting down suddenly under heavy load—was good, the company should have been more transparent about what it was doing in the first place.”

About Dan Moren

Dan Moren is a freelance technology journalist, prolific podcaster, and author of the sci-fi novel, “The Caledonian Gambit”. He’s been covering Apple for more than a decade and formerly served as a senior editor at Macworld.


Ric Molina, Mac Gamer HQ

“As much as I like conspiracy theories, especially those where “the man” wants to take advantage of us, I don’t think Apple did this in bad faith. Perhaps slowing down a phone could convince a few buyers to get a new iPhone, but I’d like to believe Apple has enough cash, earnings, and profits to not even imagine using shady tactics like that. But to answer your question, I do think they deliberately slowed down performance on some of the older iPhones. However, I believe they did it for the reasons they publicly explained: to prevent malfunction and devices unexpectedly shutting down. Their explanation makes complete sense. As battery life declines, performance declines too, and the only thing Apple can do to prevent embarrassing malfunctions is to throttle the few devices they have identified as critical in that regard. They should learn from this though, and try to be a little more transparent for a change.”

About Ric Molina

Ric Molina is a regular guy in his early thirties who decided to get his first Mac a few years ago. Like many, he grew up playing video games and was bummed to hear it would be difficult on a Mac. Ric realized it was a pain to find good Mac games not because they were rare, but because no one ever talked about them. Thus, he created Mac Gamer HQ in October 2012. Ric has been covering Mac gaming for the last 6 years and his work has been recognized and featured by some of the biggest tech outlets in the world, such as TechCrunch, Apple Insider, The Loop, Mac Rumors, iMore, Cult of Mac, 9to5Mac and more.

Slow iPhone: Is It You or Apple?

April 11, 2018by Samantha Mendoza2 Comments

Apple is one of the leading giants in technology industry, so any news about the company will spread like a bushfire. Before 2017 ended, news about deliberate slowing down of older iPhone models’ performance broke, inviting media coverage and a lot of speculations and even misinformation. If you are an iPhone user yourself who owns an older iPhone model (6, 6s, 6s Plus), you may have experienced a difference. You may have noticed how some of the apps on your phones take longer to load. The speaker volume is considerably less loud than it was originally.

There are lower frame rates when you scroll down, accompanied by gradual frame rate reductions in some applications. Background refresh of some apps might also require reloading once you launch.

It can be frustrating and worrying. Why is it happening? Do you need a new phone? Should you upgrade to the newer models?

It is not a surprise when the bulk of the blame falls on Apple itself. Conspiracy theories abound. Unfounded claims and accusations also surfaced. In fact, Apple’s admission of slowing down older iPhones’ performance resulted in at least eight separate class-action lawsuits filed in the US.

Apple even apologized. Many came to the conclusion that the tech giant deliberately did it in order to encourage users to upgrade to the newer models of iPhone.

But is it all there is to it? Did Apple do it on purpose, and was it for the reason many insisted?

It pays to sift through the misinformation before jumping to conclusions. Read this infographic to know about why your iPhone is slowing down and what you can do about it.

Top Apple Blogs to Watch Out For

January 26, 2018by Samantha MendozaNo Comments

Once upon a time, Apple fans had to hunt for news and information in the dark recesses of the tech world, wait monthly for specialised magazines, and bear the brunt of many tech jokes. This was, for some of us, a difficult time.

Today, things are different.

Apple Inc. is now the biggest company in the world, and ‘news’ and opinions regarding their products and goings-on are plentiful. For those of us who felt shunned by mainstream tech society in the past, Apple’s current prominence can feel validating, but it does come at a cost. Where before we had to cherish what scant information we could find, hold secret Mac User meetings, and speak only in hushed whispers when around anyone from an I.T. Department, now we have an overabundance of information, and the difficulty lies in knowing where to spend our time and attention.

To help you sort through the glut, we’ve picked some of the most popular and reliable Apple-dedicated resources. From Apple products, to gaming, to education, to device security, each of these sources has something unique to help you be well informed, without being distracted by the noise.

Tips to Get the Most Out of the iOS Messages App

September 28, 2015by Macfixit AustraliaNo Comments

There is no excuse to stop learning just because the week is about end. After all, learning about the Apple devices you like the most is always fun!

Today, we are going to put the spotlight on Messages, the very popular iOS app. Used in order to receive SMS, MMS, and iMessage files, the app is one of the most interesting iOS apps available at the moment. Capable of keeping us in contact with our loved ones on a constant basis, this app truly rocks.

Given below are some important tips that will help you use Messages in a whole new and fun way:

  1. Send any voice message

It may seem like typing a text message on your iPhone or dictating something to Siri is as easy as it gets, but there is something even easier: sending voice messages.

To start recording a message, simply launch your Messages app and put the recipient’s name. Note that it is important for a recipient to have iMessages compatibility in order to receive your messages. Whether a person can receive iMessages or not can be understood by checking the color of that person’s name. If the person can receive iMessages, his or her name will appear blue. Otherwise, it will appear green.

imessage-mic

A small button resembling ‘Microphone’ toward the right corner of the edit field of iMessage will help you record your message. To record something, simply press and hold the button. During the recording phase of your message, the screen of your device will show visual speech representation.

Voice-and-video-messages_jpg__1280×1136_

You continue recording your voice message as long as you keep your finger on the ‘Microphone’ symbol.

You lift your finger and this is what happens:

imessage-voice-recording-lift-your-finger

If you want to hear your recording, choose the ‘Play’ button. If you want to remove the recording, pick ‘X’, instead. The ‘Up’ arrow is useful if you want to send it.

In case you like to do things quickly, you can even slide your recording finger directly up after recording your message. That way, your message is recorded and sent in one go!

  1. Send a video message within seconds

If you are on a vacation and you shoot a mesmerizing video, you do not need to edit your video and then fit it inside an email to share it with your friends. If you choose to, you can send it to your friends with just a single tap!

Toward the left part of the edit field of the app, one camera button can be found. You have to use that when recording a video message. Generally, the button takes care of the purpose of attaching pictures to a message, but it can be used to capture videos, as well. When you tap the button and hold it for a while, you will find that a semicircle appears on the screen.

IMG_9162

Your device’s background starts showcasing whatever scene your camera is pointed at. After that, it is just a matter of tapping on the red button you see to begin recording a video. If you want to stop a recording, you can tap the same button once more.

You can even take stills to complement your video. For the purpose, tapping the button with camera icon is enough.

If you want to switch from FaceTime or front camera to iSight or rear camera, and vice versa, you can do that by using the small camera button which can be found toward the upper right corner.

Checking your video clip before finally sending it is possible, too. Once you are done recording a video, the ‘Record’ button transforms into ‘Play’ to allow you to do exactly that. To send your video, locate the button resembling up arrow, and tap it.

  1. View when a message was sent or received in time stamp mode.

The Messages app keeps track of the time when a message is sent, or received. However, at first glance, that may not seem obvious, as it hides the time-stamp in order to keep the appearance free of clutter. If you want to see when a message came in, you can just swipe toward your left and have the time-stamp appear in all its glory. Once you lift your finger after swiping, the time-stamp will disappear automatically.

time-stamps-messages

  1. Let Siri say it all

If you get a quite lengthy message from your buddy or boss, and you have no desire to read it yourself, you can simply ask Siri to read the same for you.

Locate the message and double tap on it. Once that is done, a menu will appear containing the options ‘Speak’ and ‘Copy’. Select ‘Speak’ to hear Siri read your message. In this case, Siri will even speak misspellings pretty well.

Note, however, that you must allow the feature beforehand. In order to do that, Go to ‘Accessibility’ under ‘General’ settings and tap the ‘Speech’ option.

siri-speaking

  1. Get your message sent using Siri

Even at times when you do not have the convenience of typing a message for someone, you can still get your message through using Siri. Just use the microphone of your phone to record your voice message, and send it. In case you want to send a video message, the camera will be of assistance.

This feature is especially helpful for keeping in touch with people via message when you are driving. To enable the feature, take your iOS device, go to ‘Siri’ under ‘General’ settings, and allow the ‘Hey Siri’ feature.

You can send many different messages with the help of Siri. One example of what you can dictate is “Hey Siri, tell Janet I’m on my way home.”

Whatever message you choose to send, Siri will present to you a screen containing your message in every case. However, be sure to avoid looking at the same in case you are driving your car. Siri will also ask you whether you would like to send your message, or not. To allow, say ‘Send it’, or ‘Yes’.

siri-reading-messageIn case you want to cancel sending the same, you can simply say ‘Cancel’. You can even review your message if you want to, by giving the command ‘Review the message’ to Siri. When you ask Siri to review your message, your message will be read back by the app, followed by seeking your confirmation to send the same.

If, after hearing your message, you do not want to send it you can simply change your message by asking Siri to ‘Change it’.

Saving and Using Google Maps Offline: Your Step-by-Step Guide

September 28, 2015by Macfixit AustraliaNo Comments

 

Even though it seems like cellular signal is available pretty much everywhere on the planet these days, sometimes there are still places where cellular signal does not reach. You may find your phone without signal in the middle of Australian Alps when you are climbing a mountain, for instance, or in the outback when you are riding a bike in the countryside!

Fortunately, to help you deal with those times when you just cannot get phone reception no matter how hard you look, Google Maps gives you the feature to save any map for offline use.

Of course, when you are offline you will not be able to get directions or do any other fancy stuff, but still, having a good map can save you from getting lost.

If you have never used the offline map feature before, the following steps will guide you:

Step 1:

Turn on your Wi-Fi or cellular data in a place where signal is available, like your hotel or house, and launch your Google Maps. Make sure that you sign into your Google Account before using the app.

Step 2:

Search the map of your destination by either speaking its name or by typing the same inside the search box.

google-maps-1

Step 3:

Look for the location name toward the lower part of the phone screen, and tap it. A screen containing data about weather and certain facts will appear.

google-maps-2

Step 4:

Locate three dots toward the upper right corner of the screen and tap the dots (see the arrow in the screenshot above).

google-maps-3

Step 5:

Click on ‘Save Offline Map’ option from the list of options you get. The app will ask you whether you want to save your map. To go ahead, perform a bit of zoom in and zoom out in order to adjust the total area you wish to save. Once you are satisfied with the area, click the ‘Download’ button, which can be found toward the bottom left corner. Then, save your map using a name that you can remember easily.

google-maps-4 google-maps-5 

Step 6:

To make sure that your saved maps have fresh information, you may want to update your maps on a monthly basis. That is because 30 days is the default period for which Google Maps are considered as up to date. To open any of your saved maps later, click the ‘Hamburger’ button after launching your Google Maps app. The ‘Hamburger’ button can be found toward the left of the search box.

google-maps-6

Step 7:

Select ‘Your Places’ from the menu you get. You will see a list of all the maps you have saved lately to use offline. Locate whichever map you wish to view and tap on it to expand.

google-maps-7

google-maps-8

Even though you cannot get directions or search for anything specific when dealing with your offline maps, you can still get a lot of information, including points of interest. You can locate a great restaurant, for instance, even when there is absolutely zero cellular reception in the area.

In case you use a limited data pack on your iPhone, offline maps will help you save some of your precious megabytes. On the other hand, in case your phone does not have much space left, you will reduce its space further by saving maps to use offline.

Mozilla is Taking Every Measure Possible to Make its iOS Firefox Browser a Hit

September 28, 2015by Macfixit AustraliaNo Comments

Mozilla seems to be making good progress with the release of its iOS Firefox browser. The company recently launched a trial program for a limited period in New Zealand, in order to gather important data and eliminate any bugs present before the browser’s worldwide debut, which will take place in the later part of 2015.

The company announced the initial preview of the iOS Firefox browser through its blog on the 3rd of September. In the blog, the company noted that, apart from New Zealand, testing will take place in certain other countries too before the browser’s public launch.

Several different features are being tested by the Mozilla team, including Intelligent Search, which is a tool that provides relevant results to a user when the user searches for something with the help of the user’s selected providers. Other than that, Firefox Accounts are also on the Apple watch. Such accounts provide cross-device synchronisation of history, tabs and passwords, and also, portable account management feature.

Through its trials, Mozilla is collecting feedback from different users not only to fix bugs, but also to optimise the overall performance level of its new browser. The company is fully committed to launching its new product in the App Store by the year’s end. To make things easy for its users, Mozilla has provided an in-app system via which messages can be submitted directly.

When it comes to mobile web browsing, Apple Safari is the browser of choice for most users. Still, Firefox is a name that every desktop and laptop lover is familiar with, and so it can very strong impact the mobile world, too.

Interestingly, in the year 2013, Mozilla announced that it had no aspiration to build a Firefox version for the iOS platform until restrictions placed on web browsers sold via the Apple App Store were loosened a bit. It seems like the company eventually decided to backtrack.

Apple’s 2016 iPhone 7 May be the Thinnest iPhone Ever

September 28, 2015by Macfixit AustraliaNo Comments

Although the unveiling of the latest iPhone 6S is getting all the attention right now, sources suggest that Apple has started working on its 2016 iPhone version already. Interestingly, Apple apparently has plans to build the upcoming device only 6mm thin. That is, slimmer than even its new iPad Air 2 and iPod Touch.

This Sunday, Ming Chi Kuo from KGI Securities shared certain details about the next iPhone with investors, possibly to be named as iPhone 7. Apple Insider got one copy of the same too. It is according to Kuo’s sources that Apple may make the upcoming iPhone anywhere between 6mm and 6.5mm thin.

If that presumption is correct, the iPhone 7 will compare closely to the 6.1mm iPad Air 2, as well as the iPod Touch. The present iPhone 6 is measured at 6.9mm, and the iPhone 6S nears 7mm with its 7000 series aluminum.

Kuo’s speculations suggest that Apple is mostly likely to use the same kind of technology to implement Force Touch in the iPhone 7 to be released in 2016. Notably, many experts are saying that iPhone 6S will utilize the power of display pressure sensitive input with the help of printed and flexible circuit board technology.

Apple, according to Kuo, may even start using glass-on-glass technology to equip its phones with Force Touch sensing capability in future, particularly if the company remains inclined toward increasing the resolution of its iPhone displays. However, on another note, he thinks that the same is not something that will be realized very soon, as glass-on-glass technology has yet to become so advanced as to allow 6mm thinness.

Kuo has a good reason to believe that Apple will continue betting on its Force Touch in future. The company and its many suppliers have exhibited tremendous commitment to investing in Force Touch this year, so it only makes sense that the trend will go on.

While experts widely agree that the iPhone 7 will come with a fresh chassis to stand out from the other iPhone models, Kuo did not say much regarding what else can be expected from the upcoming model. Historically, Apple has released its redesigned iPhones every 2 years, plus introduced its ‘S’ upgrades in between.
