It seems that Apple is taking a liking to follow the same dynamics in all advertisements iPhone 6 because if we compare all that have been published to date appearance to each other. We recall that the voices of all these ads correspond to  Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake and, in the version in Castilian, to Andreu Buenafuente and Berto Romero .

On this occasion, and as usual, we see both iPhones and two voices exchanged drawings and funny comments. The topic in this new ad fresh out of the oven are thememos , one of the innovations we have seen with iOS 8.

Although knew and third party applications, voice memos had never been to any Apple application natively, so it represents an important development for those users usingiMessage usual.

Unfortunately, this application is not the most used in our country, so that (normally) do not we get both party and elsewhere, such as the United States. Personally, I quite distressing, since the arrival of iOS including 8 We have seen important developments such as voice memos or interactive notifications , something that when you use it once, do not want to stop using.

It seems that, for now, we will not see this type of notifications from that answer immediately without entering the app, something that would be very useful in WhatsApp or Tweetbot . The latter, however, is an adaptation of the same, allowing dial favorite from notification or lead directly to the screen response.

Twitter will begin registering to use apps on your iPhone

The debate that has always surrounded social networks is privacy, you can get to make these with our data , Twitter is one of the most popular today, with reference in microblogging networks.

Since the company's own point they want to make changes, aimed at  knowing which apps use users who have installed the application of Twitter on your iPhone.

The news gave through his blog , the ad details how Twitter will use their mobile apps to record what applications are used on the device, these data are supposed to provide a more personalized user content.

"To help build a more personal experience of Twitter for you, we are collecting a list of the applications you have installed on your mobile device, this list is updated from time to time so we can give you content you can interest. If you are not interested in this as you can change it in preference settings. "

Note that this new tactic, is not like other times that if you do not want to happen, the only option is to have the application installed because Twitter gives us the option to disable this new feature .

According to a report by Re / Code, this new feature can only read that applications have the user , ie, does not have the ability to see that the user does on the application, an example would be Spotify, can see that the user has Spotify, but may not know that songs heard by the user.

The truth that have personalized content to many users are interested in , but there are others who refuse to make a record with the applications that have or do not have, for them is the option to disable it, if you want to know more about this novelty included Twitter can inquire from your website .

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge could be banned from the American market

The delay put on the market by the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will certainly have consequences on overall sales, especially after the huge success of the iPhone 6 Plus., But now the South Korean company has to face another obstacle. According to a lawsuit filed by NVIDIA , Samsung Exynos processor, as well as some SoC products Qualcommm, infringe patents of a company specializing in graphics processors. If the allegations of NVIDIA proved true, the Galaxy Note 4 could risk not being sold in the United States.

clip_image002

After presenting the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Note 4 Edge at the IFA show in Berlin, the liberation of Samsung in the smartphone market seemed certain. But despite the two devices have been presented almost a week before the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the vast majority of potential buyers are still waiting for their arrival in stores.

clip_image004

A launch, so to speak, the less has already taken place in his native South Korea, but the notes 4 has yet to make his debut in the major world markets , and after a strong advertising campaign to promote the new phablet, the prosecution of NVIDIA could create serious problems for Samsung.

In the long list of devices that infringe its patents, NVIDIA has included, along with Note 4 and Note Edge, even Galaxy S5, S4 Galaxy, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Tab S, Galaxy Note Pro and Galaxy Tab 2 In the case where were judged as guilty, for Samsung, the consequences could be disastrous .

Programming in iOS, how and where to start

clip_image002

To develop applications for iOS have to use Xcode , an  integrated development environment , also called  IDE  (acronym for Integrated Development Environment ), which means it is a computer program composed of a set of programming tools .

This IDE provides a graphical interface that is very useful for application development and includes new programming language Swift , launched by Apple this year.

Apple is touting Swift , but that does not mean you can not be programmed with other languages ​​such as Objective-C. The language you choose is up to you, here's a list of resources to guide you:

· Start Developing iOS Apps Today : This is the official guide for Apple to start programming, compression starts in Xcode and boots from the structure of your application, your implement and ends with the ascent to the App Store.

· Introducing Swift : The new language of Apple, it is much easier to use so if you are learning from scratch, maybe it's an excellent place to start learning.

· Apple's Development Videos : Apple has a compilation of videos from the WWDC in which parts of the development, teach tricks and resources worth moving to see some.

· Ray Wenderlich's Tutorials : If you want to make a game, Ray Wenderlich tutorials are the best starting point. You will have some understanding of Swift and Objective-C.

· Apple's API Capabilities : Apple has many different APIs to access iOS Extensions 8 including Touch ID, Photos, HealthKit, and others. Familiarize yourself with these APIs can raise the level of your application exponentially .

· Code School's iOS App Development class : You can access the basic development concepts for free through the introduction of classes this school.

· Stanford's iOS Development Classes : Stanford offers  free classes to learn iOS .Currently they are only available for iOS 7, but it is likely to take out an update for iOS in August soon.

Application Review Guide

Apple has a very specific vision of applications that will allow in the store , so it is useful to know the rules before you even start the application. If you do not, you can spend much time on an app that Apple will not allow in the App Store. These rules are in the  App Store Review Guidelines .

When you finish the application, you can send it to the App Store and will be heavily revised based on their content, design and technical details. It is therefore important to consider the Review Guide,  Review Guidelines . Apple also has a list of the most common reasons for rejection .

Just as there are specific guidelines in case you want to use any of the APIs, the most common are:

Design Guide

Apple wants all applications from your store have " consistency ", and while this does not have to mean a good design, it does mean that applications use the same basic elements in the user interface, which is detailed in the  Human Interface Guidelines . Here you will find what you require both application design and icon design .

To facilitate this process have a summary of what can and can not do to make it easier to start, you can see it in  Do's and Don'ts . Other resources are;

Testing

It is important to test the application and new eyes are always welcome, so it is important to use beta testers to put your app limit . In this scenario we have two interesting features:

· GitHub is indicated for software version control and collaborative work . Once you register with GitHub, it's easy to link your Xcode on it, so everything you do is stored there and is accessible on other equipment. If you need some help using his guides .

· TestFlight is an application that allows users to test your app , you only need to download and install  TestFlight .

Developing for iOS is familiar with Xcode , once you understand the operation can write your app in a lot of languages ​​or introduce you to Swift.

iTunes Store will receive a flat appearance to the arrival of Yosemite

clip_image002

Yosemite follow the steps marked by iOS 7 and brings the flat interface to Mac, hence thenew version of iTunes is the most minimalist we have seen to date. To get everything in line to the new design, Apple updated the iTunes Store appearance to give it that touch that is simplistic to characterize the company in recent years.

It is clear that this design may like more or less because we know that tastes there is nothing written, however, we are seeing not only Apple has registered the flat design is that there are already many companies that opt for something . Like it or not, the flat lookis here to stay and proof of this are the changes that will offer iTunes Store in the next few days and can see in the gallery below:

New photos of the iPad Air 2 confirm the processor A8X

clip_image002

In the absence of a few days to know what lies ahead the next generation of Apple tablets, the network still appear photographs of components iPad Air 2 . This time we set aside the aesthetics of the device and go directly to your motherboard that reveals a number of interesting details about your hardware.

As can be seen in Plate Air iPad 2 looks like the tablet will have a SoC Apple A8X , a vitamin version of Apple A8 found in the iPhone 6 and offer better performance, both in terms of CPU as level GPU.

clip_image004

The improvements in the CPU usually come conditioned by a greater frequency of the processor, making computing power increases slightly. For the GPU, the "X" versions of Apple chips typically provide a fairly strong performance as a result of the more pixels you have to move the iPad screen. Keep in mind that you are talking the possibility that the iPad Air 2 has Retina Display HD , therefore, there is even more reason to incorporate an even more powerful graphics if you want the gaming performance not see diminished by a increased screen resolution.

Memory RAM Air 2 iPad is not yet known anything but it still maintains the possibility of incorporating 2 GB, at least that would be the most sensible option if the jump occurs resolution is being discussed. If finally has HD Retina Display, Apple is likely to continue with 1 GB of RAM like the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.

Another detail that reveals the motherboard Air iPad 2 is in its LTE version, the SIM tray is integrated into the board itself and not in a separate component as currently. Surely this measure has been taken to achieve that reduction of 0.5 mm versus Air iPad is now sold.

clip_image006

The second component of the iPad Air 2 filter is the cable flex I Touch D containing steel hoop capacitive sensing when we have your finger on the sensor surface. Remember that iOS 8.1 makes reference to an ID for iPad Touch so again, it is a leak with many possibilities become real on 16 October.

clip_image008

Finally, the filtration components Air iPad 2 ends up showing the volume buttons where we have no mute switch allowing the tablet or lock the screen rotation. Again, this is a decision that is motivated by the reduced thickness of the tablet.

Future smartphone battery could hold twice as long

U.S. researchers at the Stanford University is an article in the journal Nature Nanotechnology succeeded by a significant development that could be for future mobile generation devices still of great importance: they have managed to design a safe anode of lithium, thanks to their help it is possible should be to build smaller and yet more powerful lithium-ion batteries. 

In lithium-ion batteries that are installed in currently available on the market devices such as laptops, smartphones or tablets, consist mainly of silicon or graphite anodes. According to researchers, there were also attempts last with tin. Since lithium itself, however, has a higher energy density than any of the other substances mentioned and is very light, it is in itself the best anode material Represents the problem is that lithium is moss-like linkages and called dendrites, which affect the performance of a battery pack or in the worst case can even lead to a short circuit. In addition, a lithium anode reacts with the electrolyte in the battery, which further reduces the life of the energy store.

To counteract the aforementioned problems, it is the scientists have now succeeded consisting encase the lithium anode with a newly developed honeycomb-like layer of carbon nano hollow spheres. According to additional comments Golem.de of this coating is chemically very stable and can there thus, on the one hand to prevent the reaction of lithium with the electrolyte, and on the other hand withstand the expansion of the lithium during recharging.

An additional, non-negligible side effect of this strong protective layer around the lithium anode is the existing information, moreover, that by the overheating or fire hazard could be reduced for batteries. Since the lithium hardly comes into contact with the electrolyte, is generated in the battery cells less heat.
