iPhone 6 Rumored in Battery Capacity

It seems like there is no end to iPhone 6 related rumors and we can very well expect this stream to go on until Apple makes an official announcement. Whenever that happens we’ll certainly be ready for it. The latest rumor claims to bring us the iPhone 6 battery capacity. With its Android rivals already pushing beyond the 3,000mAh battery threshold most users are curious to see how big of a battery the larger iPhones bring this time around. If this rumor is correct then it may just be a nominal increase.

The rumor suggests that Apple’s 4.7-inch iPhone 6 will have a battery that ranges between 1,800 and 1,900mAh. 5.5-inch iPhone 6 is believed to have a 2,500mAh battery. As compared to the iPhone 5s which has a 1,570mAh battery the latter is a significant upgrade, but will it be good enough to appease users?

Capacity alone won’t dictate the battery’s performance. Apple can make several display, hardware and even software optimizations to ensure that the battery performs at the optimal level. So battery life on the new iPhones won’t be dismal but it may not be as much as what’s being offered by its Android rivals.

Iphone 6  goes without saying that this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt. It comes from an unofficial source and far all we know these figures might be nowhere near the truth. That’s the downside to rumors.

Image Leaked for Samsung Galaxy Note 4

With one flagship out of the way we now look towards Samsung for its flagship phablet, the Galaxy Note 4. This device isn’t expected to become official for at least a couple of months but that doesn’t stop the rumor mill from churning. Today purported images of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 have leaked online, offering us what may be our first look at the next generation phablet.

The images only show off the sides and the back of Samsung’s upcoming flagship, its corners appear to be a bit more squared-off as opposed to the existing model. Samsung is expected to make design changes this time around and this certainly feels like a step in that direction.

Some rumors even claim that two different variants of the Galaxy Note 4 will be released this year, with one expected to tout a flexible display, though its believed that this variant will be available in limited quantity only.
As far as the power package is concerned, multiple purported AnTuTu benchmark results of the Galaxy Note 4 reveal that two variants, one with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and the other with an Exynos processor, are likely to be offered. Not much is known about additional specifications at this point in time though.

Samsung is expected to formally unveiled the Galaxy Note 4 at IFA 2014 in Berlin this September.

Photos Leaked For iPhone 6

 iPhone 6- As it turns out, the photos above are fakes and are actually renderings created by Martin Hajek as pointed out by Redditor, colinstalter.

The iPhone 6 is rumored for a launch later this year, so is it too early to start looking at leaked photos? Maybe, maybe not, but thanks to a post by an anonymous Twitter user, several photos have surfaced which are allegedly that of the iPhone 6. Sonny Dickson who has been instrumental in leaking photos of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c in the past has confirmed to the folks at MacRumors that the photos originated from China and have been making their rounds for a while now.

Based on what we can see, the photos depict what appears to be an iPhone device with a larger screen with thinner bezels, both of which are pretty much what the rumors have suggested. The phone also appears to be much thinner than its predecessor and looks to have borrowed some design elements from the new iPad Air what with the slightly tapered bottom part of the phone where the speakers and Lightning connector is positioned at.

As we can see, Touch ID has also made its way onto the device, as expected. We’re no photoshop expert so we can’t tell if these images are legit or if they were created in such a way to make it look like they were snapped hastily, so try not to read too much into them for now. However even if they are proven to be a fake, it still gives us an idea of what to expect from a larger-screened iPhone 6. What do you guys think?

Rumor For iPhone 6 Could Feature

NFC has been a feature that has been long-rumored to make its way into the iPhone, although to date we have not seen anything like that yet. However could it be that the iPhone 6 will finally incorporate the technology? Well according to a report from BrightWire, their sources are suggesting that yes, NFC will make making its debut in the iPhone 6.

Their sources claim that Apple has managed to strike up a deal with China’s UnionPay which will see the company’s services integrated into Passbook. It’s an interesting claim because a couple of years ago, Apple’s Phil Schiller was not particularly enamored by the technology, although it was only last month that an analyst suggested that Apple was finally considering the technology.

This could be in line with other rumors that hints that Apple could also be interested in a mobile payment system of their own, and NFC would be a good way to allow users to pay for transactions. Combine that with Touch ID, it would definitely go towards creating a very secure system in which customers would feel more comfortable paying for items and services with their phone.

Of course all of this is just a rumor for now, but what do you guys think? After hearing about NFC and the iPhone for the past few years, could it finally be that Apple will be incorporating the technology into their mobile devices? Much like how Apple could finally be releasing phones with larger displays?

Promo Material for LG G Vista Hinted

We know that sometimes handsets make their way onto carriers sporting different models, which is to be expected, and sometimes it comes with a different name as well. Well thanks to a recent photo uploaded @evleaks, he seems to suggest that a cetain LG G Vista is expected to make its way onto Verizon in the near future.

The picture in question (seen above) is advertising for a holster/shell combo accessory for the phone. It says that it is for the LG G Visa, although based on what we can see, the handset certainly reminds us of the LG G3. It is possible that the LG G3 could be released on Verizon under a different name, like the Nokia Lumia Icon which was known internationally as the Lumia 930.

That being said, some have speculated that the LG G Visa could also be a new LG handset, possibly that of the LG G3 mini, a handset which has been rumored about for a while now. Unlike the LG G3, the LG G3 mini is rumored to sport a slightly more manageable 4.5-inch display, although based on the photo above, it’s a bit hard to tell what sized screen we could be looking at.

In any case Verizon or LG have yet to be make an official announcement so until then, take it with a grain of salt for now, but what do you guys think? Could the LG G Visa be the LG G3 mini, or is it Verizon’s version of the LG G3?

Rumor iWatch Model Design and Sport

Apple’s iWatch is certainly shaping up to be a highly-anticipated device. Just last week we heard multiple rumors about said device, such as how it will come in multiple screen sizes and that it is currently being tested by pro athletes in order to fine tune its health/medical features. Now according to a report from Pocketnow, they claim that the iWatch will come in two different models.

This is according to their source who has informed them that one of the alleged models will be designed for the fashion-conscious wearer in mind. It is rumored to feature a round watch face, much like the Moto 360, and a metallic wrist band that will most likely be made from materials such as stainless steel, which seems to be pretty common as far as watches are concerned.

The other model that Apple will offer is that of a sports model. This model is allegedly designed for those who lead a more active lifestyle. This version will resemble typical smartwatches with a rectangular-ish design and a rubber strap, which we guess makes more sense if you’re going to use it to take with you to the gym and such.

Now according to their source, these designs are currently being tested by Apple. We’re not sure if this means that Apple is still deciding which version they should release, or if they are planning on releasing both versions but are currently testing them out. In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but what do you guys think? If there was a sports and designer version of the iWatch, which would you go for?
