Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus reach record 4 million preorders in first day

Apple's 2014 smartphone lineup is already off to a record start, with 4 million preorders taken for both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in their first 24 hours of availability, leading up to this Friday's launch.

The company said on Monday that demand for its newest iPhones has already exceeded the initial preorder supply, and many orders placed are scheduled to ship in October. The comments may suggest that Apple's initial launch weekend sales figures will be held back by supply rather than demand.

"iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are better in every way, and we are thrilled customers love them as much as we do," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO.""Pre-orders for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus set a new record for Apple, and we can't wait to get our best iPhones yet into the hands of customers starting this Friday."

Last year, Apple sold 9 million iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c units in their launch weekend. That easily exceeded the record 5 million iPhone 5 units the company sold on that device's launch weekend in 2012.

When the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus become available this Friday, additional units will be available at Apple Stores and other retail partners for walk-in customers. The handset arrives first in the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the U.K.

Apple also announced on Monday that 20 additional countries will get the iPhone 6 starting the following Friday, Sept. 26. They include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.

The company had already revealed last week that overnight preorders of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were at record levels. Last Friday, Apple characterized demand for its new, bigger phones as "incredible."

Demand was so strong that Apple and its carrier partners' websites experienced a number of problems accepting customer orders. Such issues have occurred every year since the first iPhone launched in 2007, with demand for Apple's latest models only growing each year.

As of Monday morning, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 is advertised to ship within 7 to 10 business days, while the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus will ship in 3 to 4 weeks.

Blu Studio ushers in colorful line of cheap Android smartphones

Cheap Android smartphones are ready for purchase from Blu Studio, which is launching new affordable and unlocked smartphones for the North American market.

While the company has promised to launch Windows Phones in the near future, right now it is focusing on its Android models, which come in a number of colors and functionality for users.

The Blu Studio C Series is able to connect onto any GSM Network in the United States, which means users will be able to take the phone to any cell phone carrier and have it activated and working instantly.

"Blu is dedicated to continue bringing consumers choice in the way of unlocked smartphones, driven by the demand for affordable quality devices and the freedom of selecting their airtime provider, thus by eliminating the dependency of locked devices which the network carrier has to offer," said Samuel Ohev-Zion, CEO of BLU Products, in a media release.

"We will continue to fundamentally change the mobile industry by making great looking smartphones that can do amazing things, priced for everyone," he adds.

Blu says the goal is to show the general population that there is no need to spend hundreds of dollars for a phone.

The Studio C Series phones have large displays, a solid camera and speedy processing, giving it a leg up on other lower-end smartphones currently available. Add to that six different color options and Blu believes it has a winning product lineup.

The 4.7-inch display features HD viewing with 294 ppi pixel density, and with an 8.0-megapixel camera, including an LED Flash and full HD recording options, it allows users to take crisp photos or video while on the go.

At only $149 via Amazon.com, the phones are likely to be popular for those seeking to grab a smartphone but who don't want the more expensive Samsung or Apple options.

The smartphone sector has seen a rise in competition this summer, as Amazon launched its first smartphone model, Fire, with much praise for its ease of use and functionality. Tech Times has also reported on the LG G3 smartphone with high-end video and photo capabilities that is currently doing very well on the market ahead of the fall's Apple iPhone 6 launch.

Android and Windows Phone devices will add a kill switch

The New York Attorney General has signed agreements with Google and Microsoft to add "kill switches" to Android and Windows Phone devices.

It comes as part of the "Secure our Smartphones" initiative, where the report stresses the importance of kill switch safeguards for mobile phone platforms in order to keep user data safe. With these "kill switches", you'll be able to render your phone useless, remotely, in the event of its theft.

The kill switch issue has been one that's been hotly discussed. For example, in California, the kill switch idea was immediately rejected, but then the state recently approved it this May. This bill states that whenever a new phone is purchased in the state of California, it must be loaded with the kill switch software.

Apple already has a kill switch feature loaded on its iPhones, and the New York City Attorney General cited that there was a 19% decrease in iPhone thefts ever since the feature was implemented; whereas Samsung phones that still didn't carry the feature experienced a 40% increase in robberies.

Now it's unclear as to when the kill switches will be added to the Android and Windows Phone platforms, but when they are, every one of Google and Microsoft's phones will have a kill switch.

iPhone 6 on Release Date Confirmed with Slim-Build, Large Screen, 64-Bit A8 Chip & 10MP Cam – Reports

The iPhone 6 on release date this 2014 is likely to prove right most of its rumoured specs and features, headlined by a lightweight and slim build with a 64-bit A8 processing chip plus a killer camera combo.

According to Phone Arena, what largely the iPhone 6 will be has been confirmed by a YouTube clip that was uploaded this week. The online video shared information that allegedly came from a site that is dedicated to everything about the next iPhone, said the same report.

It should be noted, however, that there is no way at the moment to verify the authenticity of the details provided.

2 large-screen iPhones

Regardless, the new report is aligned with the solidifying belief that Apple's sequel to the iPhone 5S will come with two different display panel dimensions - the 4.7-inch model that some blog reports referred to as the iPhone Air and the 5.5-inch edition that supposedly will tussle with the likes of Galaxy Note 4.

Both handsets will sport an identical screen resolution of 1704 x 960 bit with varying pixel density. As expected, the first iPhone phablet will boast of a higher 416 pixels per inch (ppi) while its smaller sibling will debut with 356ppi pixels flooding the screen.

Super-slim iPhone 6

In the same video, the following dimension was provided: 138mm x 67mm x 7mm, which somehow backs earlier suggestions that Apple intends to further shrink the iPhone thickness while making light as a feather.

This plan will be realised with Apple using new mix of materials like Liquidmetal alloy, graphene and sapphire that will make up of the final cut that is the iPhone casing. MacRumors reported that Apple chief designer Jony Ive has largely hinted of 'the new materials' that will be part of the 2014 iPhone release.

A beautiful beast

Underneath its aesthetic appeal, the leaked YouTube clip also claimed that the bevy of iPhone 6 killer features will again be fired up by a 64-bit application processor with A8 chip replacing the A7 that came with the 5S last year.

10MP rear shooter

The most notable part of the report is the likelihood that iPhone buyers will get a significant camera bump up with their iPhone 6 purchases as the main shooter of the device will reportedly be updated from 8MP to 10MP.

Also, the front-facing camera will improve from 1.2MP to 2.1MP, which is a possibility that Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac has recently floated around.

And as a form of bonus, the iPhone 6 on its release date, likely on September 2014, will have a 128GB variant that will sell at $400, the Phone Arena report claimed, even as numerous analyst pegged the device's starting price at $200 for the regular model and $300 for the iOS 8-powered phablet - all presumably with contract agreements.

iPhone 5S vs Samsung Galaxy S5 – Camera Comparison – Get Creative

If you are in the market to buy a smartphone, you will most probably have to select between a Samsung phone and an Apple Phone.

These are the companies who jointly own two thirds of the smartphone market. Samsung’s latest flagship phone, the S5, is in the market. Here, we compare the camera specifications of the S5 with Apple’s iPhone 5S.  You can buy the iPhone 5S and the S5 at around $700.

Specs and Resolution

The Galaxy S5 comes with a front camera of 16 MP and has some excellent features.  It has a sensor of 1/2.6 inches. The iPhone 5S, on the other hand, comes with a smaller resolution of 8 MP. However, merely by cramming in more number of pixels on a smaller surface, the S5 will not necessarily be able to take better quality images when compared to the iPhone 5S. Samsung’s device offers a real time HDR function. This enables the user to have a preview of the results before shooting a picture. The S5 camera also comes with the latest ISOCELL technology. This brings down the crop factor of the image and also enhances the dynamic range. It achieves this by preventing the leakage of light from pixel to pixel. The S5 is able to shoot at a resolution of 4640 x 3480p for stills. It can also take video records at a resolution of 1080p at the rate of 60 frames per second. The camera also records ‘4K Ultra HD’ video with a resolution of 3840 x 2160p 30 fps HD.

The iPhone 5S comes with a smaller resolution but has a BSI or backside illuminated camera. This is paired with a dual LED flash and the camera is able to capture pictures at a resolution of 3264 x 2448p for stills. The iPhone 5S can also take full HD video recording at 30 frames per second along with a slow motion feature. The sensor is 1/3 and the pixels are bigger than most other smartphones, thereby enabling it to capture the increased amount of light. Apple’s iPhone 5S also has an HDR mode in which two shots are taken and then combined to create the best image.

The Galaxy S5 comes with a front camera of 2.1 MP, whereas the iPhone 5S has a front camera of 1.2 MP.

S5 Camera Unique Features

In addition, the camera of the S5 allows the user to focus on either the background or the foreground of the picture even after taking the shot. Another new feature, known as the Shot & More also enables you to take shots in a series of pictures to which you can apply various modes and effects. These are in the form of Eraser to eliminate photobombers or using the Best Face feature, to select the best faces in the photo and so on. The S5 offers plenty of features and opportunities for the user to get more creative and have some fun with the camera.

iPhone 5S – Interesting Features

As regards the iPhone 5S, modes and settings are a little simpler. One interesting feature in the iPhone 5S is the live effects, such as Chrome, Instant; the Slo Mo video; and the Panorama effects, which can be real fun. There are also many other settings and the user can also download several other modes.

Camera Quality

The S5 camera offers great image quality that is comparable to that of the iPhone 5S. However, pictures taken in low light conditions without a flash are not that good on the S5. Both the phones offer a good quality of pictures outdoors. However, the S5 has a better secondary or front camera, whereas the iPhone 5S performs better under low lighting conditions and when used without a flash.

How to Check If Your Android Device Could Be Hacked via Heartbleed

Cellcom bell mobility bell.ca bell canada rogers phones Telus Mobile Phones Mobile Contracts

Heartbleed is causing heartache on hundreds of servers all over the internet, but security researchers have also warned that the bug could allow direct hacks of Android, too. Here's how to check if your device is at risk.

While researchers at security firm Symantec happily report that the major browsers don't rely on the OpenSSL cryptographic library to implement HTTPS—so are unaffected by Heartbleed—the same isn't true of the Android OS. Ars Technica explains how your Google-powered device could be compromised:

[T]he most likely scenario for an attacker exploiting a vulnerable Android device is to lure the user to a booby-trapped website that contains a cross-site request forgery or similar exploit that loads banking sites or other sensitive online services in a separate tab. By injecting malicious traffic into one tab, the attacker could possibly extract sensitive memory contents corresponding to the sites loaded in other tabs, he said. A less sophisticated version of the attack—but also one that's easier to execute—might simply inject the malicious commands into a vulnerable Android browser and opportunistically fish for any sensitive memory contents that may be returned.

With so many tweaked and forked version of Android out there, though, it's tough to provide a conclusive list of exactly which devices are affected. But good news: Heartbleed Detector, a free app developed by Lookout Mobile, will tell you if your device is at risk.

So, go download the app and run it. It will tell you if your device contains the vulnerable version of OpenSSL that Heartbleed affects. It will also tell you if the Heartbeat extension that hosts the coding bug is enabled. If you don't have the vulnerable version, or you do but but the extension isn't enabled, you should be just fine. Otherwise, you better hold tight and act carefully until your OS is patched.
