Apple iPhone 7 . Release dates ,Features and Proposed Designs ( iOS Assistance )

Summary

Apple is expected to launch a next-gen 4.7-inch "iPhone 7" this September, within its usual timeframe. The previous iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s design will be changed, as Apple is believed to be planning an all-new chassis that will eliminate the camera "bump," as well as visible antenna bands. Expect a faster processor, better camera, and potentially the elimination of the 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring either Lightning or Bluetooth headphones.

Features

• Will probably ship in September
• ● New, thinner design with no camera bump
• ● Next-gen A10 chip with 2GB of RAM
• ● 16/64/128GB capacities
• ● Starting at $199 on contract, $649 without
• ● Could ditch 3.5mm headphone jack
• ● Probably     ● Maybe     ● Probably not

Appearance & Design

Early reports suggest Apple's next-gen iPhone will be even thinner than current models, potentially between 6.0 to 6.5mm thick. The slimmed down chassis is also expected to boast a revamped design. Some rumors claim iPhone 7 will move away from an all-metal construction to a new as-yet-unknown material, possibly ceramic. Other rumblings point to a completely flat screen that does away with curved edges found on iPhone 6s.

The phone may or may not be fully waterproof, which would be an evolution from the iPhone 6s, which is only partially water-resistant. If the headphone jack does disappear, it may be replaced with a second speaker.

Dubious case leaks have suggested the possibility of a Smart Connector and/or a design without a home button.

Apple is thought to be preparing the usual two-model offering for 2016, likely sticking with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen sizes. There are strong rumors that a 4-inch iPhone will make an appearance, but similar rumors have circulated ever since Apple moved to a larger format with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. 

Internals

Due to its slimmer profile, iPhone 7 is expected to integrate existing 3D Touch technology that detects pressure input via capacitive sensors embedded in the handset's backlight array. Apple will likely introduce a new system-on-chip design in 2016 which, if current naming conventions hold, should be dubbed A10. An M10 motion coprocessor is also likely to make an appearance, potentially embedded into the A-series SoC as with 2015's M9 design.

Apple reportedly tapped Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to handle all A10 processor orders, a change from iPhone 6s which saw its A9 dual-sourced from TSMC and Samsung. 

The iPhone 7 and/or the 7 Plus may potentially be equipped with a dual-lens camera, using two 12-megapixel sensors -- the second supporting a 2-3x telephoto lens. Supply issues could theoretically limit the dual-lens feature to a special model of the Plus, although one case leak suggests that the standard iPhone 7 might at least have a very different camera design.

The phone could come equipped with a 7.04Whr battery, an upgrade from the 6.61Whr in the iPhone 6s.

Release Date

No hard evidence exists regarding Apple's iPhone 7 launch plans, but the company traditionally debuts its smartphone in early September with sales following one week later. With iPhone 6s, however, preorders went live two weeks prior to shipments.

iOS 9.3 Jailbreak Release Date, Rumors and Updates

iOS 9.3 is now available for download and brings with it, several new features. You get the Night Shift mode, TouchID for notes, more 3D Touch shortcuts for apps and a tonne of new improvements and bug fixes.
Now that it’s out, jailbreak teams are probably hard at work trying to release a tool to jailbreak iOS 9.3. We’ve already seen leaks and videos of hackers successfully jailbreaking iOS 9.3 betas. The last beta, is very similar to the public release, which means that a jailbreak is definitely possible.
Unfortunately, the hacker who managed to jailbreak the iOS 9.3 betas, will not be releasing any jailbreak to the public. Therefore, we will have to wait for teams such as Pangu or Taig to come up with a solution. Recently, Pangu released a jailbreak for iOS 9.1, but not many users are on that firmware.
Most people who want a jailbreak, are either on iOS 9.0 – 9.0.2 or are waiting for an iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak. We’re not sure if there will be an iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak anymore, now that iOS 9.3 is out. And there’s no way the jailbreak teams will wait till iOS 10 to release a new jailbreak.

It has been six months since the last jailbreak release, so it’s about time a new jailbreak is released. Hopefully, it’ll be for iOS 9.3 and happen soon. If you want a jailbreak, do not update to iOS 9.3.
Those who don’t want a jailbreak or can no longer wait, should update to iOS 9.3. Between iOS 9.0.2 and iOS 9.2.1, there haven’t been plenty of changes, except for security updates and minor bug fixes. With iOS 9.3, there are plenty of new features and improvements, therefore urging users to upgrade.
We have no idea when an iOS 9.3 jailbreak will be released, but it could happen as soon as 1-2 weeks. If there are any new updates, we will let you know.

iOS 9.3 Jailbreak Release Date, Rumors and Updates

iOS 9.3 Jailbreak Release Date, Rumors and Updates: iOS Jailbreak 9.3.2 at WWDC 2016?

 

Update – April 21, 2016 – Apple has stopped signing the iOS 9.3 firmware, which means that if you had updated to iOS 9.3.1, you can no longer downgrade.

This is also bad for the iOS 9.3 jailbreak, as most users are either on earlier firmware or on the latest iOS 9.3.1. If a new jailbreak is released for iOS 9.3, users on iOS 9.3.1 and on iOS 9.2.1 and earlier cannot enjoy it.
It is being reported by several sites that an iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak could be released at WWDC 2016.

Update – April 13, 2016 – It’s been almost a month since the release of iOS 9.3, but we haven’t seen any jailbreaks so far. Yes, you’ll find many fakes out there, but we recommend not to pursue any of them. As of now, there is no jailbreak for iOS 9.3 or iOS 9.3.1.
We’re not sure if anyone is even working on a jailbreak anymore, because Apple has moved past iOS 9.3.1 and is now testing iOS 9.3.2. It is possible that the jailbreak teams are now focusing on iOS 9.3.2 instead or perhaps are waiting for WWDC to release a jailbreak.
Apple is expected to talk about iOS 10 and most likely release a developer beta during WWDC this year. The jailbreak teams could thus be waiting for Apple to release the next major iOS update. This way, they can provide a jailbreak for all versions of iOS 9.3, including 9.3.1 and 9.3.2.

Update – April 2, 2016 – Now that Apple has released iOS 9.3 to the public, the wait for an iOS 9.3 jailbreak is on. The last iOS 9.3 beta was jailbreak friendly, so it’s only a matter of time.
Apple recently seeded iOS 9.3.1 to fix bugs that were present in iOS 9.3. According to a new report, jailbreak teams could be waiting for Apple to fix the bugs on iOS 9.3 to release a working jailbreak.
The report says that the release of an iOS 9.3 jailbreak could’ve been delayed due to Apple working on a smaller update. And as suspected, Apple released iOS 9.3.1 with bug fixes.
Now, the jailbreak teams could release an iOS 9.3.1 jailbreak is one is ready. If such a jailbreak tool is ready, now would be a great time to release it.

iOS 9.3.1 Vs iOS 9.2.1 Battery Life Comparison [Video] ( iOS Assistance )

Apple released iOS 9.3.1 last week as a response to some users finding that their devices would freeze or crash on interaction with links on iOS 9.3. There is even a build of iOS 9.3.2 now currently in testing by developers. Apple is clearly going to keep pushing new updates out at a rate of knots, and that can only be a good thing.
When Apple does release a new version of iOS, people inevitably start asking questions about whether they should upgrade, with battery life often one of the key reasons that someone either will, or will not upgrade at all. It’s difficult to say whether a newly released version of iOS will offer better or worse battery life due to the sheer number of variables involved, but that doesn’t stop people from trying.

And so here we are comparing iOS 9.2.1 to iOS 9.3.1 in order to see which is capable of performing best in a Geekbench battery life test. In order to get the best possible range of results, iPhones from the iPhone 4s all the way up to the iPhone 6 were tested, with the results taking hours to gather but distilled down into a ten-minute video.


As far as semi-scientific tests go, this one by iAppleBytes is certainly thorough.

First we charged all devices to 100% let them sit in the charger for an additional 30 minutes. Ran Geekbenchs test on all devices until the battery died, and filmed every wonderful moment.
We did this on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S and the iPhone 6. Using the same physical device to ensure the same battery life, first on iOS 9.2.1 and then again on the same device upgraded to iOS 9.3.1.

The results? As you might expect, iOS 9.3.1 performed best as far as pure Geekbench scores go, though iOS 9.2.1 does perform slightly better in pure time taken for a battery to fully drain. We’re not sure why, but there you go.
Of course, upgrading to iOS 9.3.1 is not just a decision to be made about battery life. Plenty of other fixes went into the latest version of iOS compared to 9.2.1, and so if you don’t care about jailbreaks, we’d suggest updating without delay.

Everything you need to know about iOS 9.3! ( iOS Assistance )

iOS 9.3 brings new features to the current version of Apple's mobile operating system for iPhone and iPad. Highlights include a new Night Shift mode, Touch ID security for Notes, greater personalization for News, app discovery in Health, Apple Music and Nearby for CarPlay, and a new education experience for iOS.
 

 

 

When is it coming out?

It's out! With it, comes Night Shift Mode, Notes Lock, and a whole lot more. We have everything you need to know.
 

How do I get iOS 9.3?

You can either download it over-the-air from the Software Update feature on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or download it via iTunes by connecting it to your computer. Here's how.

 

 

 

Who should be excited about it?

Everyone, because bug fixes and security updates are always great! More specifically:

• Anyone who enjoys reading in bed or otherwise in the dark.
• Anyone who keeps private information in Notes and needs better security.
• Anyone who uses News but hasn't found the content personalized enough.
• Anyone still searching for great Health and Fitness apps.
• Anyone who uses CarPlay and has been waiting for more music and points of interest.
• Anyone who uses iOS in the classroom.

 

 

 

So, Siri supports more languages now?

A few more regions and languages, yes! iOS 9.3 adds support for Malaysia (Malay), Finland (Finnish), and Israel (Hebrew).

 

 

 

 

What's the deal with Night Shift?

Our eyes and bodies were never designed to stare at computer screens all day. As a result, the blue light emitted from said screens can seriously mess up sleep schedules and lead to mid-day exhaustion and tension headaches. OS X has long had third-party utilities like F.lux to help address this problem with display recoloring, but with 9.3's Night Shift, iOS gets its own proprietary version.
It uses your geolocation data and local clock time to automatically determine when the sun sets in your area, and gradually shifts your iOS device's display to a less harsh, more late-night-brain-friendly hue. In the morning light, your display colors shift back to their normal state.

  Is this going to make everything obnoxiously orange?

  No, your eyes should adjust pretty quickly to oranger hues, especially in darker environments. But yes, it will likely add an orange tint to your screen, making tasks like photo or video color correction slightly more difficult. But, don't worry. You can disable the feature if you really prefer to stare at glaring blue light in the evenings.
  

   

   

   

  I heard Notes has touch ID support now?

  It does! With iOS 9.3 you can secure all your notes—especially the ones that might contain private personal, medical, login, or financial data—with a password or with Apple's fingerprint identity sensor, Touch ID.
  That means, even if you lend someone your iPhone or iPad so they can call an emergency contact or keep busy while waiting for the food to arrive, they won't have access to your private notes.
  It's not the system-wide [Touch ID protection of Guest Mode]/./ios-9-wish-list-guest-mode) we've been waiting for, but it's a great start towards making iOS better protected so we can more comfortably share

   

   

   

  What's new with the News?

  There is now a New Top Stories section in For You that highlights the trending stories of the day, and you'll also get suggestions from the new Editor's Picks and curated channels made by Apple News editors.
  Video will now play right from the story, and iPhone is getting landscape support as well.
  Oh, and you can now change the text size in articles.
  

   

   

   

  And the Health app is going to make me healthier?

  I don't know if any app can make you healthier, but the Health app is certainly making it easier to keep track of your health. The app now has categories for your Apple Watch's move, exercise, and stand trackers, and even tracks your day-to-day goals. The Dashboard and Medical ID is now accessible with 3D Touch and Quick Actions on the Home screen. In addition, third-party developers can now use the Activity rings to share data with their apps.
  

   

   

   

  Didn't Apple Music get some love?

  That's right. You can now add songs directly from Apple Music's catalog to your playlist without having to first add them to your library. One step beyond!
  If you want to check in on what's playing on Beats 1, you can see it right on the Radio tab instead of having to go to the section. You can also watch videos in full screen mode on the iPad and getting to the album that a currently playing song is from is easier. Want to know which songs are the most popular on a given album? Well, you can now on Apple Music.
  

   

   

   

  I heard you can finally grab a still image from a Live Photo

  You heard correctly. When viewing a Live Photo, tap Duplicate to either make a copy of the live photo, or extract a still image. You can also now share Live Photos between iOS and OS X using AirDrop and Messages.
  

   

   

   

  Did Apple finally make it possible for me to re-download my audiobooks onto a different device?

  Aren't you the lucky one! Apple has finally added support for downloading previously purchased audiobooks from the iBooks Store. Plus, you can share your audiobooks purchases with anyone in your Family Sharing network. Sharing is caring.
  Apple also made some improvements to reading Manga and added Pencil support for highlighting and saving passages in e-books.
  

   

   

   What's this I hear about Dolby Digital on my iPhone?

  With iOS 9.3, you can play video encoded with Dolby Digital Plus. Your device now supports multichannel output when you use the Apple Lightning Digital AV adapter.
  

   

   

    CarPlay has some new stuff too, right?

  It does! If you have a CarPlay-compatible car, you now have better Apple Music integration, with both the New screen and For You custom playlist suggestion screen available to you. And if you're an Apple Maps fiend, CarPlay now supports the Nearby feature, which lets you quickly find gas,
   parking, restaurants, and more.
  

   

   

  What's this about iPad and education?

  The iPad got a huge education upgrade with iOS 9.3, and it's sure to make a lot of educators using iPads in their classrooms thrilled.
  The education improvements essentially boil down to three categories: Shared iPads, a new Classroom app for teachers, and the Apple School Manager app for OS X.
  
• Empowering education with iPad and iOS 9.3

   

   

   

  What else?

• Apple fixed a lot of issues with hardware keyboards. Plus, you can now use the arrow keys to navigate lists in Spotlight, Mail, and Safari.
• Maps now supports a highlighted view of destinations and stops along a specific line in Transit mode.
• Wallet now has the ability to access an app related to a card or pass.
• Apple Pay now supports signing up for store rewards programs within the app at registers.
