Iphone 7 and 7 Plus

iPhone 7, 7 Plus launch: Rumours at a glance

Here's what actually might take shape as Apple CEO Tim Cook launches the iPhone 7 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium tonight.

If rumours are to be believed, iPhone 7 will be a slight upgrade from its previous iteration. The two iPhones will be powered by an all-new A10 chipset, which is expected to be 20 per cent more powerful than its predecessor, the A9.

Keeping with its recently-found gusto, the Cupertino-based smartphone giant is expected to release two variants as always: iPhone 7 Plus with a 5.5-inch display and iPhone 7 with a 4.7-inch display.

The 5.5-inch variant could come with a 256GB ROM and the 4.7-inch iPhone will be loaded with 128GB ROM.

Disappointingly, in the RAM department Apple is likely to stay with 2GB RAM for both the variants even as competition from Samsung and scores of Chinese phones have been upping the ante on this front.

It is in the camera department that tech enthusiasts are expecting some novel additions to both iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7.

This is what the Apple website says on its website on the eve of the launch of the two iPhones...

While some rumours say that the iPhone 7 Plus might come with dual camera for producing better lowlight photography, some expect the iPhone 7 to sport a 12MP camera with OIS and dual tone LED flash to adorn the two new Apple smartphones to be launched September 7.

Yet another surprise from the iPhone 7 launch this evening could be the absence of the 3.5mm audio jack. Music will likely stream through Bluetooth earphones or a wired head phone with DAC (digital to analogue convertor) and lightning connecter.

In comparison to wireless sound quality, wired connection always creates superior sound.

This suggests you won't be able to use conventional analogue headphone with 3.5mm jack or without the lightning connector incorporated with DAC.

Yes, having a spare DAC incorporated head phone or earphone would be a pricey affair and a DAC incorporated lighting convertor would involve carrying extra connector.

Finally, adding to your cup of surprises Apple has decided to do away with a physical home button. At least, that is what one gathers from the pictures leaked online on Chinese social media.

Virtual home button is the name of the game and you should be able to fire up your iPhone's display using Assistive Touch.

10 Things You Did Not Know about Vienna

Statue of Mozart in Vienna. Image courtesy of Wien Tourismus on Flickr. Vienna’s cultured capital is full of great museums and galleries by day and classical concerts by night. Once you’ve filled your itinerary with major sights, here are 10 things you did not know about Vienna. People in Vienna speak German Vienna is in Austria, not Germany. So why do Austrians speak German? In the 13th century, Austria became part of the German-speaking Habsburg Empire and remained under their rule for 640 years. As part of the empire, the Austrians had to speak German. German did not develop naturally but was standardized from a series of dialects spoken in central Europe. In the 16th century it was the language of Martin Luther’s bible and the leading language of Europe. The difference between Austrian German and the mother tongue is similar to the disparity between American and British English today.

Islam - A true religion of peace

An essay donated by Hijab Al Faisal Islam -- A true religion of peace, tranquility & intellect: a moderate Islamic interpretation Terrorism has surfaced as the biggest menace of the current times, particularly in past few decades. Unfortunately and unjustly, Islam and Muslims are deemed by most of the world population to be the root causes of this upsurge of terrorism all across the world. There is no doubt that this is far from accurate. However, a considerable majority of the world's population still blames Islam and Muslims. This is mostly because of the “bad press” deliberately being created against Muslim by the big guns of world media. The best way to authenticate or reject this claim for a common person is to see what the actual teachings of Islam are. Is it really a religion that promotes violence and terrorism, or is the reality totally opposite to this misconception? One convenient way of observing and analyzing all this is to learn what the Holy Qur...
