iOS 7 Adoption Already As High As 35 In One Day Apple And Developers Reap The Rewards


Apple’s big iOS 7 update rolled out to devices yesterday, around 1 p.m. ET, and while many users encountered a lot of frustrating server errors trying to get it, the numbers show that a lot of people were successful in updating. Like, a whole lot.

We’ve gathered results from a number of mobile publishing firms to find out what the numbers look like after 24 hours, and the trends indicate a very rapid rate of adoption. Chitika says that iOS 7 generated just over 18 percent of traffic from North American users on their platform over the past 24 hours, which beats out the iOS 6 first day update stats. Their study covers around 300 million page views from devices in the U.S. and Canada, and revealed that a day in, there were more users on iOS 7 than there were one day into the iOS 6 launch by about three percentage points.


Mobile web and app analytics provider Mixpanel has been watching the iOS 7 uptake in real time, and has found that within the first 24 hours, devices running iOS 7 hitting its network reached 35 percent. The firm also found that many people updated during the workday (with 22 percent on iOS in the 10 hours following its launch), and that many more were updating late into the night Pacific time, with another 10 percent coming on between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. PT. Predicting adoption based on the current rate, Mixpanel says iOS 7 could exceed iOS 6 activity on its network by this time tomorrow. Android, by comparison, still sees Jelly Bean (all versions) accounting for only 57 percent of traffic on the Mixpanel network, a full 450 days after the first version’s launch.


Mixpanel’s data is coming from nearly 2 billion impression records, distributed equally among all of its clients so as not to skew the data by relying too heavily on, say, an iPhone or Apple-focused blog’s mobile website or app.

Mobile and tablet website optimization company Onswipe has also been watching the numbers on its platform, and their sample size of around 1 million unique iOS devices reveals that around 31.27 percent of users are already on iOS 7. iPhone adoption is slightly ahead with 34.04 percent of total traffic coming from iOS 7, while on iPads visitors with the latest OS represent 26.12 percent of the pie. Both are up from last year and iOS 6, when 14.18 percent of iPads and 27.04 percent of iPhones had updated to iOS 6 24 hours in, making for a total of 24.77 percent of users across all devices.


“iOS 7 is getting such rapid adoption because it’s like getting a brand new phone instantly and for free,” Onswipe CEO Jason Baptiste told me via email. “Its adoption is also being accelerated by developers pushing a brand new iOS 7 redesign to their large user bases.”

This adoption is definitely unmatched by any other platform and its updates, mobile or otherwise. Apple has a key advantage here not only because it issues updates over-the-air, meaning users can get them wherever they’re connected to a Wi-Fi network instead of having to tether to their computers, but also because of Apple’s unprecedented and unmatched relationship with its carrier partners.

There’s a side benefit for developers who jump on early, too: Users new to iOS 7 are hungry for software that complements it, and those app makers who’ve made the switch to iOS 7-specific designs are seeing big download boosts thanks to both consumer interest and promotional efforts from Apple. The iPhone-maker has been highlighting iOS 7-ready apps and updates in its iPad and iPhone App Store ever since the update went live, and some of those apps, like OminiFocus2 and NBC, have seen their chart positions rise as a result.

In short, Apple’s adoption rates aren’t suffering because of the big changes in iOS 7, as some had suspected, and in fact the shift seems to be drawing in a more eager crowd with a very healthy appetite for apps. We’re just a day into this, however, which means that so far the numbers could reflect an outsized portion of early adopters anyway. We’ll be watching these numbers to see if they continue to mirror or exceed previous adoption trajectories for new iOS updates, or if there’s any indication the wider public is more update-shy.

Apple airs new holiday ad Misunderstood featuring iPhone 5s and more


Apple has kept with its annual tradition of airing a seasonal ad featuring Apple devices in holiday settings. Last night, the companys 2013 holiday ad aired; its 90 seconds long, noticeably longer than most TV spots. Its set to the tune of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and shows a family gathering for the holiday.

We wont spoil the emotional twist of the ad, but the title -- combined with early scenes of a teenage boy who seems to be distancing himself from the celebrations around him by burying his nose in his iPhone -- may give you a hint where this is going.

You can check out Apples annual tearjerker below.

Apples Plans to Enhance Touch ID with Trackpad Capabilities and Display Integration Revealed


Late last week, we highlighted a pair of Apple patent applications offering details on the companys implementation of its "Touch ID" fingerprint sensor in the iPhone 5s.

The highly technical patent applications showed how the system works and revealed that Apple first moved to protect the ideas with the filing of several provisional patent applications in May 2012.

A third Touch ID-related patent application filed by Apple also quietly surfaced last week (via Unwired View) but has flown under the radar until now because it appears to have published on the World Intellectual Property Organizations database but not the U.S. Patent and Trademark Offices database.

This third patent application is the most revealing yet with regard to Touch ID, showing how Apple has envisioned expanding the feature to incorporate trackpad functionalities, tracking movements of a users finger or thumb over the sensor to navigate through user interfaces on the devices screen. In one example, Apple shows how a user moving his or her finger right to left across the Touch ID home button could pan a map, with a subsequent upward movement across the home button triggering activation of a multitasking interface.


Panning a map by moving finger right to left over Touch ID home button

Other examples show how users could take advantage of "revolving" or "twisting" motions of their fingerprints on the Touch ID home button to initiate actions. Adding the ability to recognize presses of various durations for the Touch ID home button and even sensors for detecting how hard the button is being pressed could offer even more powerful user interface navigation capabilities right from the home button.

Moving beyond the home button, Apple addresses the possibility of integrating Touch ID right into a devices display, allowing any area of the screen to be dynamically designated as a sensing region for the users fingerprint. In one example, the area of a display representing the devices email app could require a valid fingerprint touching the icon in order for authorization to be granted.


Authorizing Mail app with Touch ID sensing integrated into device display

Overall, Apples patent application is a massive 610-page document incorporating 464 claims covering a wide range of applications for Touch ID in the future. Beyond the examples highlighted here, the application covers a number of other areas including:

- Enhanced touch typing recognition through sensing which fingers are touching the keys
- Using pressure and movement sensing to turn the home button into a simple game controller
- Using revolving "scroll wheel" motions on the home button to navigate through multitasking app listings
- Using fingerprint verification to enforce parental controls on age-rated media content, restrict maximum device volume, or automatically increase font sizes for children, seniors, or visually-impaired users
- Autofilling web forms or loading personalized web pages based on fingerprint identification
- Supporting multi-user profiles including authorized and guest profiles through fingerprint authorization
- Authorizing location "check-ins", mobile payment information, or photo/document author tagging based on fingerprint identification
- Supporting simultaneous multi-user configurations by allowing users to define separate areas of a devices screen for drawings, notes, or other content based on fingerprint recognition

Apples patent application was filed on May 20, 2013, but cites as priority several provisional patent applications dated as far back as May 2012.

Asus ZenFone 5 LTE and ZenFone DIY smartphones rumored


There’s news today of two new arrivals for the Asus ZenFone lineup, although at this stage there’s not too much solid information. The Asus ZenFone 5 LTE and ZenFone DIY smartphones are rumored to be on the way and we’ll tell you what we’ve heard so far.
Starting with the ZenFone 5 LTE, this is fairly self-explanatory as an LTE version of the recently released ZenFone 5. However, it’s claimed that this will be powered by a Qualcomm processor rather than the Intel variety used in the ZenFone 5, and that it could also feature wireless charging. Other specs will be similar though, such as a 5-inch display with resolution of 1280 x 720.
The ZenFone DIY is slightly more of a puzzle, and about all that has leaked so far is that it could be customizable (as maybe the name suggests), in the same sort of way as the popular Moto X. It’s possible that these new Asus devices could be made official next month at Computex 2014.

Nvidia files a patent lawsuit against Samsung and Qualcomm

Nvidia has initiated patent lawsuit actions against Samsung and Qualcomm. The issue lies in the GPUs used in Samsungs product, specifically the Qualcomm Adreno, ARM Mali and Imagination PowerVR graphics architectures.

Nvidia has filed its patent infrigement complaints with both the US International Trade Commisssion (ITC) and the US District Court in Delaware. The company wants the ITC to block shipments of the Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets utilizing the aforementioned GPU architectures. Additionally, the GPU maker also insists the Delaware court to award it damages for the patent infringement. Since 1993, Nvidia has spent over $9 billion in research and development and states that its IP strategy is to earn a return for its investment by patent licensing. However, its negotiations with Samsung hit the rock.



With Samsung, NVIDIA’s licensing team negotiated directly with Samsung on a patent portfolio license. We had several meetings where we demonstrated how our patents apply to all of their mobile devices and to all the graphics architectures they use.
We made no progress. Samsung repeatedly said that this was mostly their suppliers problem.
The company says a total of seven patents are infringed. This is the first time the Nvidia is initiating a patent lawsuit in its 21 years of history. Interestingly, this isnt the first time a company has come out to call Samsung out on not sticking with proper patent licensing. Earlier in August, Microsoft attempted taking Samsung to court for not paying its patent licensing fees on time. A fortnight later, a report surfaced that the two companies have met to resolve their differences.

“Samsung Galaxy Tab A and Tab A Plus specifications revealed” – Tablets Magazine

It’s been a while since we got to see a new Samsung tablet. Yesterday you read on our Web site Samsung brand has registered for different tablets: the Galaxy Tab A Tab Tab E and J. It was likely that we take a number of months more were told about these tablets but today the first information came out about the Samsung Galaxy Tab Samsung Galaxy Tab A and A Plus.

According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Tab Galaxy Tab A and A Plus there faster than we think . An exact date they have not, but the specifications of the tablets: you can choose to either version between an 8 and a 9.7 inch screen, and the Tab A Plus has an S-Pen. That would mean that the Galaxy Tab A Plus Samsung’s first tablet outside the Note Series is a pen. Both tablets would have a resolution of 1024 x 768, sharp enough for a mid-end tablet. Furthermore, the specifications of both tablets are almost identical: a Snapdragon 410 processor with a clock speed of 1.2 GHz, a 5 megapixel camera on the back and a 2 megapixel front camera. Both tablets have according to Sam Mobile a thickness of 7.4 millimeters. In addition to the S-Pen is there not much difference between the Samsung Galaxy Tab Galaxy Tab A and A Plus. However, the Plus version 2 GB of memory, where the normal Galaxy Tab A 1.5 GB of RAM to. If you opt for the 8 inch models get a battery of 4000 mAh, whil e the 9.7-inch variants have a 6000 mAh battery.

An official announcement remains to be seen, but it is clear that this is not high -end tablets are going. It is therefore an interesting move by Samsung to introduce the S-Pen also at mid-end tablets. Recently was Galaxy Tab Active launched with a pen, but that was the so-called C-Pen, a pen with fewer features than the S Pen. The S Pen is a gadget that will allow the brand to stand out in a market where every day new tablets seem to come out. The names of Samsung’s new tablets are striking: and are rumors that Apple will release a Plus version of the iPad

NVIDIA announces GTX 980 and GTX 970 based on the new Maxwell architecture

NVIDIA has announced two new graphics cards for the PC, the flagship single-GPU GTX 980 and the mid-range GTX 970. Both are based on NVIDIA’s 10th generation Maxwell architecture, which succeeds Kepler.
Other than being more powerful, the two new graphics cards also introduce some new technologies from NVIDIA, including Voxel Global Illumination (VXGI), which enables real-time global illumination. This enables the light to reflect off surfaces more naturally, and the resultant illumination is more realistic and accurate.


There’s also MFAA, or Multi-Frame Sampled Anti-Aliasing, which is a more efficient form of traditional Multisample Anti-Aliasing. NVIDIA claims it offers the image quality of 4X MSAA at the performance of 2x MSAA.
Another new feature is Dynamic Super Resolution, which is generally known as supersampling. What this feature does is it renders the game at a higher resolution than your monitor. So if you have a 1080p monitor, the graphics card will render the game at 4K or higher and then downsample it down to fit your screen. The resultant image is cleaner and has less aliasing. This is sometimes present in games and available as SSAA or FSAA options within anti-aliasing settings but in this case, NVIDIA is doing it within its own GeForce Experience software rather than letting the game do it, assuming the game has the option.
There are also improvements to cater to VR applications, such as VR SLI where you can assign multiple GPUs for a specific eye, asynchronous warp that reduces latency in half, and auto stereo, which improves game compatibility with devices such as Oculus Rift.
The GTX 980 and GTX 970 will be available from various hardware partners, including ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac. The prices start at $549 for the GTX 980 and $329 for the GTX 970.

Amazon Fire TV arrives in Europe pre orders start in the UK and Germany

Amazon made its Fire TV set-top box official back in April, which is also when it became available for purchase in the US. However, it hasn’t been available anywhere else. Until today.
The Fire TV is now up for pre-order in both the UK and Germany, marking the device’s entry into Europe.


It’s priced at £79 in the UK, with free delivery. It’s supposed to start shipping on October 23. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can buy the Fire TV for just £49.
Over in Germany, the regular price is €99, while if you are a Prime member that goes down to €49. Once again, delivery is free of charge. The set-top box will be released in Germany sooner than in the UK, with the estimated shipping date currently being September 25.
If you do subscribe to Amazon Prime, and want to get the Fire TV with the aforementioned discounts, you should act fast, as apparently the reductions will only be available for five more days.
