Dell XPS 13 : 22:00 of autonomy for this ultraportable. A record in sight ?

2016-09-16T04:52:00.000-07:00

The standard bearer of the ultramobility of Dell will adopt the new platform Intel Kaby Lake as of October. And, for the occasion, XPS 13 offers a news and luxurious color of case.

More power and an endurance record 22 hour old, here how is characterized the new version of XPS 13 of Dell. This portable, from which marketing will begin on October 4th in the United States, benefits from the imminent arrival of the new processors Intel (Kaby Lake) to place the bar even higher. Indeed, one of the current versions of this portable screen PC 13.3 inches occupies the first place of our Top 10depuis maintaining several months! And, with the arrival of this model this autumn in France, there is extremely to bet that the Texan manufacturer does not go down from so early from the first walk from the podium.

Other technical improvements

This change of generation of Intel processor should be also accompanied by an evolution on the level of the random access memory: good-bye DDR3 and hello DDR4! And, by the same occasion, to make some additional energy saving.
Moreover, Dell announces to have changed the battery present in XPS 13 by a model 60 WHr, more powerful than the precedent. Thus, a XPS 13 equipped with a flagstone IPS Full HD would offer a 22 hour endurance, against 13:00 for the models equipped with a screen QHD+ (3200 by 1800 pixels) tactile.

Lastly, if the connector industry always misses telegraphic catch network (or in the absence of the delivery without overcost of a USB/Ethernet adapter), one will note the appearance of a catch USB type-C (Thunderbolt 3).

The starting price of these new configurations is of 799 dollars. Dell specifies finally that he adds a new color to the catalogue: Rose Gold. On the other side of the Atlantic, only two versions of XPS 13 will be available in this colour, whose starting price is given for 1499 dollars. Lastly, Dell could not assure us the prices in euros per hour when we write these lines. The availability is estimated for mid-October.

iOS 10 : can your iPhone pass there without concern ?

2016-09-13T18:22:00.000-07:00

The new version of iOS has been available for this evening on iTunes. It is compatible with all the smartphones of Apple until iPhone 5. However, all will not be able to make it turn with the same facility. We jumped the step for you on all these platforms

It is the great day for a good part of the owners of iPhone which will be able to update their operating system. Available since the summer in beta release, iOS 10 - just as watch OS3- finally has just been launched this September 13th at the evening.

To carry out the update, it is necessary to go in Adjustments > General > Put up to date software. However, all the models of iPhone are not eligible. Among those which are it, certain are likely to be well with the sorrow to support the greediness of the new features of iOS 10.

On the side of the processor A9 (which equips the 6s, 6s Plus and SE), nothing to say concerning the transition. We test iOS 10 since the beginning of the summer and its first beta release, it is almost impossible to see a difference of felt between fluidity of iOS 9 and 10.

The models with processors 64 bits draw some well

Not large-thing to be announced either on iPhone using preceding it processor A8 (models 6 and 6 More). Also based on an architecture 64 bits, it provides enough power so that the interface is reactive.
First processor 64 bits of the history of iPhone, equipping the series 5s, A7 also seems to fully benefit from this architecture. One was very afraid on the other hand of the behavior of iPhone 5 and 5c, only eligible models having a processor of only 32 bits, in fact A6, left already four years ago.

One “yes, but” for iPhone 5

It is however the pleasant surprise of our tests, iPhone 5 in our possession also behaves very well under iOS 10. Obviously, the interface is clearly not as fluid as on an iPhone 6s, but it is completely usable with the daily newspaper. The difference compared to an iPhone 4s under iOS 9 is obvious, its predecessor was really with the sorrow with this configuration. It is not at all the case here.

For iPhone 5s, 5 and 5c, it will have however to be seen with time if the reactivity remains with go. By experiment, it can be degraded after a few weeks or month of use. This is why we preferred to classify them in the boxes “to supervise” and “Attention”. Most careful the returns of the other users before cracking for the update will thus wait.

Xiaomi : its news phablette Semi Note will hurt

2016-09-12T14:42:00.000-07:00

The two models would be equipped with a curved screen of 5.7 inches QHD (2 560 X 1 440 pixels) embarking a technology similar to the Force Touch of Apple. They would also benefit from a double photo sensor of 16 Mpix in the back and from a sensor of 5 Mpix in frontage, from a battery of 4 000 mAh and would make turn Android Nougat with the surcouche house MIUI 8.

The differences would concentrate on the processor, the quantity of memory and storage space. The classical model could be animated by Snapdragon 810 accompanied by 4 Go of random access memory and would offer 32 Go of storage space. The smartphone premium would profit, him, of Snapdragon 821 accompanied by 6 Go by random access memory and could offer from 64 to 256 Go of storage space. Only that !

Will Samsung disable Galaxy remotely Notes 7 ?

2016-09-12T10:36:00.000-07:00

Since the launching of the programme of exchange of Galaxy Notes 7, the rumours are numerous. Some are partly true, others do not seem to be that phantasms, like the desactivation of the not turned over models.

How to recognize good Galaxy Notes 7 of bad? And what does one risk if one does not wish to exchange it? Here are questions that the customers of Samsung are posed whereas the brand started an international programme of exchange. And to say as much that between real rumours and information, the answers are not very clear.

How to recognize a Note 7 sure?
Samsung Australia indeed confirmed that new Galaxy Notes 7 using a reliable battery would be announced by a sticker representing an S blue affixed on the box. On its side, Samsung France, did not assure us any initiative of this kind in the Hexagon. Very few specimens however were distributed in the country, only some précommandes had arrived to their owners.

A remote desactivation?
The other insane rumour launched on Reddit relates to the future of the defective models if its owner had the idea – absurd, but legitimates – not to want to exchange it. According to “LimboJr”, Samsung would have notified to him that Galaxy Notes 7 not exchanged “will be disabled remotely” starting from September 30th.
A practice considered to be very hard by all the participants in the forum. But there either, Samsung France absolutely did not intend to speak about this initiative.
We also joined the customer service of Samsung, but the advisor did not have either information on this subject. The program of exchange provides that the specimen in possession of the customer is replaced at the time of the exchange. If necessary, another smartphone of loan (Galaxy S7, for example) could be proposed while waiting for the final specimen of Galaxy Notes 7.

Launched on September 6th to France, the programme of recall of Galaxy Notes 7 relates to 2.5 million devices in 10 countries. It makes following the problems encountered by certain batteries which can prove to be dangerous. If you live in Metropolitan France and are in possession of a Note 7, it is thus advised to call the 01 48 63 00 00.

Apple Watch Series 2: faster and especially seals

2016-09-09T07:37:00.000-07:00

In fact obviously the iPhone 7 was center of the attentions of this Keynote of September 7th, but Apple Watch was also renewed to gain new functionality interesting.

The first Apple Watch received a gloomy reception, it was thus important for Apple to re-examine the copy of its watch. It is made thing, the firm announced yesterday Apple Watch Series 2, successor of the Apple Watch which becomes “Series 1” on this occasion. Some hoped to see arriving a round design, it is not for immediately since it takes again the same design strictly that the 1st model, it is inside that there is change.

It is necessary to retain three great innovations for this second series. First of all, the watch is faster thanks to a new Ploughshare “S2”. Apple presents it like twice faster. That too will not be, since one precisely reproached the previous model his many slownesses, in particular at the time of the launching of the applications which could take several long seconds. The screen gains on the way in luminosity: 25% of more according to Apple. Autonomy should be virtually identical to that of the first model.

Second significant component of the new model: sealing. Whereas most manufacturers of connected watches are satisfied with a certification IP68 (when there is one of them) allowing an immersion 1.5 meter during 30 minutes, Apple affirms that its new watch can go down up to 50 meters, they are 20 meters more than Peeble Watch which held, to our knowledge, until now the record. Apple Watch becomes thus a true companion of stroke. Physical-activity which it is from now on able to follow.

Last point: the arrival of a GPS in the watch. In fact, it is thus a little more independent of its iPhone. One will be able to thus devote oneself to his jogging preferred in the pampa without having to transport his iPhone (even if in the event of accident, it is nevertheless better to have it). And since it always integrates 4 Go of storage, you will be able to also benefit from your music. On the other hand, the integration of a chip 4G is still not news.

Gold disappears with the profit from ceramics

Apple obviously realized that an Apple Watch out of Gold 18 carats it was perhaps a little excessive. The material is not available any more, to replace by ceramics, a more hard material “4 times than steel”… and 10 times less expensive (or almost) that gold since it will be sold 1449 euros with a bracelet sport (the only available one). Apple flat gave besides a good part of its range.

Initially because Apple Watch Series 1 remains with the catalogue and sees itself provided with the new processor. It thus becomes the model of line entry, available only out of aluminium, for 319 euros. The partnership with Hermes is always of news for series 2 with new bracelets of the leather dealer which make their appearance. Cupertino tied a second agreement with Nike, which more or less takes again the principle of that with Hermes, but more directed Sport with a rubber bracelet inevitably less equipped than at the French.

As regards the Series the 2 prices will begin with 419 euros with a case 38 mm out of aluminum as well as a bracelet Sport or Nylon and 449 euros in 42 mm. Model steel will begin as for him with 649 euros (38 mm) and 699 euros in 42 mm. Ceramics is invoiced 1449 euros as we mentioned it above. The new watch will leave at the same time as iPhone 7: on September 16th, the précommandes will also open the 9.

Test Apple iPhone 7

2016-09-09T07:00:00.000-07:00

Summary Taken in hand before our nearest test. After months of the usual rumours and calculations, iPhone 7 and 7 More are finally revealed. Those which pawed the ground to have an iPhone seals and a better autonomy will be satisfied. But those which counted on catch helmet will be disappointed. We could not pass that a few minutes with iPhone 7 without being able to test its sealing. This new smartphone Apple brings its batch of improvements, some expected since one good moment. Most outstanding is of course the disappearance of the catch coughs up and the new button of reception which integrates technology Forces Touch and request a small time of acclimatization.

The new color black of jet is splendid, giving to this iPhone 7 of the airs of obelisk. Remain to see whether it will not be loving with finger marks.

Innovations to be had at the head

1- Size and the catch in hand: iPhone 7 gets the same catch in hand as iPhone 6s with an identical screen 4.7 inches.

2- According to Apple, the flagstone Retina HD is 25% more luminous than the model of last year. The technology 3D Touch is found which produces a light pulsation when and the pressure maintains presses on the screen.

3- A static button of reception: from now on, the button of reception is fixed, it is not pressed more physically, a little as on the Motorcycle Z or OnePlus 3. It is sensitive to the pressure, which means that the applications can take into account 3 pressure levels. It is not any more one button in a strict sense and it takes a few times to be accustomed there.

4- Tight: iPhone 7 is tight with water (IP67) and dust, like are already several models from Samsung and Sony (IP68).
5- Finished the catch coughs up: Apple really removed the catch coughs up. In the place, the new telegraphic ear-phones EarPod connect with the Lightning port via an adapter delivered with the smartphone. The brand with apple proposes also new ear-phones without wire, AirPod, which join automatic iPhone 7. Our first impression is rather good, with a satisfactory sound in spite of the ambient noise of this showroom.

6- New camera: iPhone 7 preserves the sensor 12 mégapixels but adds to it a larger opening and an optical system of stabilization of image. We noticed that the camera is a little more protuberant than on the 6s. Apple incorporated a second sensor in the iPhone 7 More which plays the part of a teleobjective of 56mm. Models like V20 of LG, P9 and Honor 8 of Huawei propose also this system with double camera.

7- New frontal camera: it passes from 5 to 7 mégapixels and integrates also the stabilization of image (it is not about an optical system).

8- Stereo loudspeakers: iPhone 7 receives a second loudspeaker which gets a stereo effect. They are laid out at the two ends of the device.

9- Autonomy: Apple announces 12 hours of autonomy in navigation 4G (iPhone 7 More should hold 2 hours more). As usual, no information on the capacity of the battery.

10- A faster processor: according to Apple, the new processor A10 Fusion 64-bit quadruples heart is 40% faster than its predecessor (A9). Two hearts are devoted to the performances while the two others are you with “the effectiveness” in order to preserve the battery. Graphics are even more powerful, in particular for the games. With the fact, Super Mario arrives on iPhone 7.

11- A more comfortable storage: 32.128 and 256 Go. Colors: black of jet, black chechmate, gold, pink gold and money (the jet black is available only into 128 and 256 Go).

Prices

Model	Capacity	Price
Apple iPhone 7	32 Go	769 €
	128 Go	879 €
	256 Go	989 €
Apple iPhone 7 Plus	32 Go	909 €
	128 Go	1 019 €
	256 Go	1 129 €

*La dyes black jet is only available in version 128 Go and 256 Go.

IPhone 7 and 7 More is available in précommande and deliverable to count starting from September 9th over September 16th. iOS 10 will be available on September 13th.

Small more camera

The passage to a larger opening (f1.8) must let pass 50% of light in more through the objective to 6 elements. That profits with all the stereotypes and in particular with those in low light. Photography under these conditions becomes paramount on the smartphones whereas the users share more and more images via social networks like Instagram.

The new processor of treatment combined at a speed of higher execution should bring iPhone 7 to the level of its competitors at Samsung, Sony and LG which praise their performances in low light and of many manual controls. The optical stabilization of image is an important option. Only iPhone 6s Plus was equipped with it last year. IPhone 7 equipped with this function should produce clearer photographs even if there is the shake.

A new flash with 4 LED 50% more luminous than that of iPhone 6s should produce more luminous stereotypes and let us tons more natural. IPhone 7 manages Live Photos and the format raw thanks to iOS 10. And it is necessary to keep in mind that iPhone 7 More has an additional advantage with the presence of a second sensor with teleobjective.

Can one go there?

Difficult to decide definitively for the moment. In hand, iPhone 7 resembles the 6 and 6s much, but the announced key improvements (autonomy, performances, sealing, and the camera) could make the difference.

Turing Monolith Chaconne, the smartphone of all superlatives is of return

2016-09-09T05:30:00.000-07:00

The so ultimate smartphone that it is improbable arrives! The company Turing Robotic Industries, well-known to make in the higher bid, has just announced its monster of power equipped with three processors, of 18 Go of RAM, 1 To of storage and a APN of 60 mégapixels!

Umpteenth vaporware in a magic way the US company Turing Robotic Industries has just announced the arrival for 2018 of a monster of power able to make fantasize any in love with technology.

Baptized Monolith Chaconne, it would have a screen of 6.4 inches 4K (2160 X 3840 pixels), of three processors Snapdragon 830 (which does not exist yet) for a total of 24 hearts, the whole supported by 18 Go of random access memory and 1.2 To of invessel fuel storage! Specifications which will certainly push you to skirt the waterways in order to cool the system…
But it is not all, the higher bid continues photo side it will be equipped with four sensors for a total of 60 Mégapixels, history to film the birthday of the small last in Imax 6K. In frontage, a double APN of 20 mégapixels will be given the responsibility to immortalize your more beautiful selfies.

Since you do not have a nuclear power plant under the hand, the small comic ones from Turing Industries very envisaged, three batteries will be present for a total of 120 Wh. The classical first of 1600 mAh in lithium-ion shouldered by a supercondensator with graphene of 3600 mAh as well as a combustible battery.

The device will function under Swordfish, an evolution of the mobile OS developed by Jolla. It is expected during 2018 in our galaxy.

A pirate USB key is enough to steal your Windows logins or macOS

2016-09-09T05:22:00.001-07:00

One to hack succeeded in simulating a local area network with a programmable USB key. The computer, seeing only fire there, automatically sends requests of connection with logins, even if it is locked.

The persons in charge of security in company are likely to have some cold sweats. The researcher in security Rob Fuller has just shown a hack of a frightening effectiveness. Let us suppose that a user absent from his station, after having locked its computer. It is then enough to connect on this machine an USB key to recover – in the space of about fifteen seconds – the logins of this user. Namely its login and its password in chopped form. This “hash” can then be directly used in attacks of the type “not the hash” to reach other parts of the network. The pirate can also try to break the hash to find the password in light, which is far from being impossible.

Obviously, Rob Fuller did not take an unspecified USB key to make this hack, but was pressed on a programmable device under Linux such as LAN Turtle or USB Armory. The idea is then to modify it in such a way that the computer has the feeling which it is about an adapter USB Ethernet connected to a true local area network. With this intention, to hack it on its key a waiter DHCP embarked, which is given the responsibility to allocate an address IP with the machine, as well as a software baptized Responder, which will simulate a waiter of authentification. Once connected, the computer automatically will send requests of connection incorporating the aforementioned logins.

“Why does it go? Because USB technology is plug and play. What wants to say that even when a computer is locked, the device is nevertheless installed”, explains Rob Fuller in a note of blog, before adding: “The computers create traffic network permanently, even if no browser or another application is used. And most computers trust their local area network. ” In addition, like the key a network simulates fixes rather fast in response times, it will replace preexistent connection automatically, that it is telegraphic or not. Rob Fuller tested his attack on Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 10 (Enterprise and Home). It also functioned on macOS El Capitan/Mavericks.
In any case, this clever trick seems to create sensation in the world of the hackers. The site of sale of LAN Turtle is renewing its stock because of an increasing demand for this kind of tool. A rise of the directly dependent request on a tour of this attack. How to protect itself? Rob Fuller does not give any indication on this point. The desactivation of the USB ports seems to be for the moment the only parade.

PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro, the new consoles of Sony unload !

2016-09-09T05:06:00.000-07:00

Sony finally raised the veil on its last consoles of living room. They are always PS4 but the first smaller, is baptized Slim, and the other more powerful, the PS4 Pro.

PS4 “Slim” and the PS4 “Pro”. Here the two next versions of PlayStation 4 which will constitute the essence of the catalogue of the Japanese for the end of the year. After months of escapes, speculations and assumptions, the Japanese giant benefitted from PlayStation Meeting which was held in New York, yesterday afternoon (local time) to join Microsoft in the race with the renewal of the consoles of living room. To even supplant this last.

The PS4 Pro, to make the transition with the next generation?

Known under the name of “Neo” until now, the PS4 Pro is well the version vitaminized of the console of Sony, able to juggle with - as envisaged the 4K, HDR (wide panel of colors) and of course, the VR. And, especially, it could display 60 images a second in Full HD in the games, constantly. Good-bye with the inappropriate decelerations? To ensure itself some, its official exit will have to be expected on November 10th, at the cost of 400 euros.

According to the technical information given by Sony, the PS4 Pro would always use a chip AMD Jaguar 8 hearts, but surely embarking graphic hearts based on Polaris architecture, undoubtedly very near to that of the last Radeon X-ray 480. What would explain the cravings of the console for the 4K.

Side of the random access memory, 8 Go of GDDR5 remain with the menu and, for storage, a disc of 1 To. The connector industry is composed, it, of three catches USB 3.1, a telegraphic catch network, a module Wi-Fi n/ac and Bluetooth 4.0, of an exit HDMI undoubtedly 2.0 and an optical exit (for the sound).

Remain a question: is very the high definition the fact of a upscalematériel or is it natively assumption of responsibility by the graphics chip of the console?

It is also surprising that Sony does not equip its PS4 Pro with a reader Blu-Ray 4K, whereas he is the creator of this format! For recall, Microsoft proposes of them one in the news Xbox One S. However, the japanese giant reassures the amateurs of video: YouTube and Netflix will be accessible on the Pro, via applications under development, in order to benefit from their contents 4K available.

Two consoles and same games!

Backward compatibility with old games PS4 is of course with the program, and of the patchs will be deployed by the editors to improve returned the latter on the new console of Sony. Cal of Duty: Infinity Wars d' Activision was taken in example during the event: it is one of the games which will be compatible on the two Sony platforms at its exit, this autumn.

The PS4 Slim, for those which lack of space

The PS4 Slim is now announced and will be officially available to 299 euros, starting from September 15th. She has authority to replace the current model, as Xbox One S replaces the first model of console of Microsoft.
The plastic hull was completely worked over again. It is rounder and seems less… thick. Sony announces to have reduced the volume of the machine by 30%. Let us hope simply that cooling is with the height! The company did not reconsider the technical details and the potential improvements of Wi-Fi which we evoke in our previous article.

To note, all consoles PS4 of first generation (as well as Slim) will be compatible HDR by the means of the deployment of new a firmwarela next week, so that all the users can exploit this technology perhaps present on their TV last generation.

Let us finish by the accessories. Sony first of all launches a new version of the lever DualShock 4. As envisaged, part of the tactile zone now lets pass the light emitted by the large indicator located on the slice of the lever.

Certain games could exploit this function to inform the player about the health of his character for example. New DualShock 4 remains compatible Bluetooth but, also, usable into telegraphic, would be connected in USB to the console. Announced price: 59 euros.

A news PlayStation Camera (59 euros) is also with the menu. It preserves the same functions as the preceding one while adding the assumption of responsibility of the PSVR in its quiver. Its form also changes: more compact and cylindrical.

Finally a support to maintain the consoles with the vertical (20 euros) and a helmet wireless telegraphy (180 euros) should also be able quickly to supplement the park of accessories.

In spite of its 3 Go of RAM, iPhone 7 More would be less powerful than Galaxy Notes 7

2016-09-09T04:53:00.000-07:00

A benchmark confirms that the version large size of iPhone profits of more than random access memory than its predecessors.

To promote their devices, the Asian manufacturers fight with blow of random access memory by announcing records regularly, with up to 6 Go for OnePlus 3. Apple does not take part in this race since it will have been necessary to wait until 2015 and iPhone 6s to cross the bar of the 2 Go. And if iPhone 7 does not do better, iPhone 7 More is entitled to 1 additional Go, as the rumours predicted it. Information is confirmed by a benchmark published on the site of GeekBench.

As one can see it on the results put online, only two hearts - given rhythm to 2.23 Ghz - new chip A10 fusion were put at contribution. A demonstration of the operating process announced by Apple at the time of the keynote. To preserve the battery and to optimize the endurance of the smartphone, two hearts with very low fuel consumption are booked with the elementary tasks. More pushed data sheet of iPhone 7 More is certainly explained by the arrival of the double photo module, in spite of the integration of a dedicated processor baptized Image Signal Processor (ISP).

In addition, the figures of GeekBench show that iPhone 7 More gets results higher than those of the iPad Pro 12.9 inches and its 4 Go of random access memory, with 5363 points against 4887. The profit in performances between the A10 chip and the A9X seems to be confirmed. New iPhone large size is thus the fastest device turning under iOS to date. But it remains below the Samsung Galaxy Notes 7 which is assembled at 6294 points during our tests. In spite of its less important random access memory, iPhone 7 should also compete with the shelf of Apple, but still not with its South Korean rival. At least, on paper.

One expected an iPhone not really exciting, however Apple operates some material changes with his smartphone. Summary of the keynote of Apple in 7 important points.

1. Design

For the first time at the end of a two years cycle, Apple fundamentally did not change forms Factor of sound smartphone. To mitigate this absence, the manufacturer however tried to leave large aesthetic artillery. Two details can thus be underlined. The first is the completion “black of jays”, entirely polished and thus of brilliant appearance. The second is the integration of the photo sensor, crimped within the back hull in a ring cut directly in the mass. Lastly, one notices the suppression of the parts of the antenna which barred the hull arrière.

2. Camera

It is one of the most important evolutions of iPhone 7. Optical stabilization is now used on the two models, while the opening of the objective passes to f/1.8. But it is especially the double sensor of the iPhone 7 More which challenges. It combines a great angle and a standard focal distance which corresponds to the perception7. human eye. That allows an optical zoom x2 and a digital zoom x10.

3. Button of reception

Central element of the interface of iPhone, the button of reception had not really evolved since the first models in 2007. For iPhone 7, Apple takes as a starting point the Force Touch of the trackpads by MacBook and MacBook Pro to design a central button deprived of mechanics. It is from now on a vibration which will simulate its activation. It will be also programmable with short cuts towards predetermined actions and will be able to also function with third applications.

4. Tight

Apple was late on this point compared to Sony and Samsung, none of its iPhone was never tight. This version 7 meets from now on standard IP67. That means that it is tight with dust and can pass up to 30 minutes in less than one meter of water.

5. End of the catch jack

Another event envisaged by the rumours since several months: the pure and simple disappearance of the catch audio jack. EarPods delivered in the box have from now on a Lightning port. They will be accompanied by a Lightning adapter towards jack to use the old helmets. The others will be able to use the Bluetooth or the new connection “Wireless” of Apple coupled with the new AirPods ear-phones and a range of Happy helmets.

6. Loudspeakers

Apple also placed a loudspeaker on each side of the screen. As in other manufacturers (HTC does it for a long time). That in particular makes it possible to benefit from a stereo effect. Apple also announces that the sound volume will be doubled compared to iPhone 6s.

7. Processor A10 Fusion

Lastly, the heart of the smartphone is obviously updated. The new processor – which avoids suffix “Fusion” – has four hearts. Two are dedicated to the performance, while the two others are cut for energy efficiency. They for example will be requested on the not very greedy tasks like the e-mail reading. That makes it possible at Apple to promise an autonomy in rise. IPhone 7 would allow two hours of use besides iPhone 6s, while iPhone 7 More would gain only one hour compared to iPhone 6s Plus.

IPhone 7 and 7 More will be proposed in précommande and will be delivered by September 9th starting from September 16th. They are available in version 32.128 and 256 Go to the respective prices of 769.879 and 989 euros (909, 1019 and 1129 euros). Maybe between 20 and 50 euros moreover than the models of last year.

Watch Series 2: Apple launches a tight watch connected with GPS integrated

2016-09-07T18:07:00.000-07:00

The Californian firm makes the good share with the sportsmen, who will benefit from now on from a lot of new features, that it is for swimming, the race or the excursion.

At the time of its keynote of September 7th, Apple presented a new model of its connected watch. Baptized “Apple Watch Series 2”, the device is of form similar to the first generation, but has a series of improvements intended above all for the sportsmen. Thus, the watch is from now on tight until a 50 meters depth. One can thus use it to make lengths in a swimming pool or to practise surfing. Better: Apple Watch Series 2 was programmed in such manner to be able to count the calories spent at the time of an activity of swimming. With time, this calculation will become more and more in precis, according to the use of each user, underlines Apple.

Another innovation: Apple Watch incorporates from now on a GPS, which proves particularly useful for the race or the excursion. More need, indeed, to carry its iPhone: the watch will be able from now on to calculate in an autonomous way the heating expenditure and the traversed way. At the end of the activity, it will then be enough to transfer the data towards iPhone to be able all to save in the principal application. It is the case, for example, of Viewranger, an application of excursion. GPS will also benefit the fans from… Pokemon Go, whose version adapted for Watch Series 2 will be available by the end of the year.

Apple benefits from this occasion to launch a special edition baptized “Apple Watch Nike +”. It is equipped with a specific design with, in particular, an extensible two-tone bracelet. This model gives a direct access to the application of race of Nike. A simple order with Siri is enough to start it. In addition, to motivate the user, will this model regularly display inciting notifications with the colors of Nike (“And if a race were made? ”). She will also give access to special events organized by the sporting brand.

Apple also strengthened the technical specifications of its connected watch. Equipped with the dual processor S2 heart and a graphics processor, this generation would be “twice faster” than the preceding one. The screen, in addition, would be “twice more shining”, which is quite practical for an external use. With this new model, Apple also inaugurates a new operating system, watchOS 3, that the firm had already presented at the time last conference WWDC.

Apple Watch Series 2 will be available out of aluminium starting from 419 euros, including the edition special Nike +. The stainless steel version is available starting from 649 euros. Most fortunate will be able to turn to the new Hermes model, available starting from 1349 euros, or the news Apple Watch Edition out of ceramics, whose price starts with 1449 euros. To note, in addition, that the model precedents Edition do not appear any more in the catalogue. The précommandes will be open on September 9th, the deliveries will start on September 16th.

It should be noted that the first generation is not abandoned for as much. Tariffed with 319 euros, Apple Watch Series 1 will benefit even from the technical improvements of the second generation by integrating the processor double-heart and the graphics processor. On the other hand, it will not have GPS.

Test & Unboxing Yamaha RX-V481

2016-09-07T11:58:00.000-07:00

Most / The audio quality for a relatively affordable price, compatibility with streaming services in wireless, the ability to connect a Bluetooth headset, HDMI ports that can play Ultra HD video sources and HDR

Least / The presence of only 4 HDMI ports which can be problematic for those with more than a gaming console. Competitors amp models from Pioneer and Sony are Google Cast

Contents / The Yamaha RX-V481 is a mid-range receiver that delivers excellent sound while offering a range of comprehensive features.

Yamaha's expertise in video audio amplifiers is long known. The RX-V481 is a good example, with a fine balance between superb audio quality and features you need. Our only regret the choice of Yamaha to increase the number of HDMI ports from 6 to 4. It will be consoled with the fact that they manage the Ultra HD and HDR.

RX-V481's performance is slightly better than the RX-V479 it replaces. But Yamaha's competitors were not asleep on their laurels. Sony and Pioneer have also made progress. For example, the Sony STR-DN1070 of exceeds the Yamaha sound and features, but it is more expensive. So if you want a high quality weapons arsenal in your home theater while keeping you at a reasonable budget, the V481 is the best choice. In France, it is found at around 400-450 euros on the Internet.

Design

While some manufacturers opting for a minimalist design with front facades which amount to two buttons and not much else, rather Yamaha is located in the "airplane cockpit" style. The facade is obviously less stripped, but at least we did find the advantage of the most used in an easy access buttons available. The digital interface of the screen is displayed in high definition and is fairly easy to navigate for those who know the amps. The remote control, almost identical to that of the RX-V479, is it also easy to handle.

functionality

The RX-V479 was a marvel: an excellent and plethora of features including 6 HDMI ports. The RX-V481 is cut from the same wood, but there have been some changes. The number of HDMI ports from 6 to 4, which are however all support HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0. There is also an input / output for Bluetooth headsets and wireless speakers.

The Yamaha MusicCAST system is not as complete as what the competition offers, but it still offers support streaming service Rhapsody, SiriusXM, Pandora and Spotify, reading from a smartphone and dissemination via AirPlay Apple. However, the amp does not support Google Cast as Sony, Pioneer and Onkyo offer the same and are in the process of developing the multi-room feature.
The V481 is a 5x150W amplifier with a subwoofer output. It decodes the most common formats, including various variants of Dolby Digital and DTS. Since there is a 5.1, is obviously not found from DTS.X or Dolby Atmos.

For this test, we used our reference installation: two ELAC Debut F5 column speakers in the front, a C5 ELAC Debut for central voice, a pair of ELAC B5 at the rear and a Klipsch subwoofer R- 110SW.

Performances

Nothing in stereo listening, we felt from the first moment the RX-V481 offered all good. To "A moon shaped pool" of Radiohead, Thom Yorke's voice and acoustic guitars were particularly authentic. Deep bass lines African Head Charge were both powerful and well defined. With high resolution file at MA Recordings, clarity and transparency were better than what we used to hear on a mid-range amp. The soundstage was particularly deep and framed. In the end, the V481 ranks above average for its musicality. Even printing of realism with documentary recordings of Don Cheadle "Miles Ahead" dedicated to Miles Davis.
Compared to the RX-V479 which we had braided laurels, the V481 has shown slightly above, with a tad more transparency and clarity.

We put the Blu-ray film "Terminator Genisys" and pushed really hard volume, without that clarity will weaken. The combined sound of the front speakers and rear creating a coherent whole.

The effect was even more evident with the film 'The Zero Theorem' Terry Gilliam, starring Christoph Waltz in the role of Qohen Leth, a brilliant computer engineer who tries to discover the meaning of life. The sound effects were dense, rich and were spreading throughout the room.

We concluded our testing new music with the Blu-ray Concert 2013 "Sweet Summer Sun: Hyde Park Live" Rolling Stones. The sound mix was good with a wide dynamic range which gave a nice power percussion. Acoustic guitars of Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood were really natural.
Then we switched to streaming via MusicCAST after connecting a pair of PSB X2T. Again, we were impressed with the clarity delivered by the speakers Yamaha amp seemed to have no trouble managing. Of bass rich tracks like Daft Punk or two talking heads were full and rang true. Frankly, we do not expect that an amp to 400 euros is also so beautifully with a pair of speakers to more than 1,000 euros.

Finally, we tested Bluetooth link quality. Whether with or Mitski the film "Deadpool", the sound stream remained perfectly synchronized with on-screen action and X2T speakers.

Conclusion

Combine the RX-V481 with correct home cinema speakers and you have a good time. The superb sound and wealth of features for a very content price are hard to beat. One could quibble over the loss of two HDMI ports compared to the RX-479, but you alone will judge if it is a crippling defect.

Nintendo opens the Apple keynote with a surprise : Mario arrives on iPhone and iOS !

2016-09-07T11:29:00.000-07:00

Surprise guest of the Apple keynote, Nintendo announced Super Mario Run, its first mobile game, designed exclusively for iOS initially. The game should be available before Christmas.

The opening of the Apple keynote early September made us a great surprise: the arrival of the first Nintendo game on a mobile platform. And not just any license as is the historic character of Nintendo: Mario the plumber who will be the hero of Super Mario Run. The news was not announced by anyone: nothing less than Shigeru Miyamoto, the father of Mario and Zelda especially from Japan to announce the news.

Jump and Run

The diehard fans of the Nintendo license may be a little disappointed since it is not a classic Mario but a "simple" jump and run timed how Rayman Jungle Run. In this type of game, it does not direct the direction taken by the character, it will automatically advance and simply jump at the right time.

In addition to a normal mode where you have to finish the level before a given time, Super Mario Run includes a battle mode where you try to go as fast as the "ghost" of the opponent, a character in ghostly form who has already completed the level and determines a time to beat.

Unlike the current trend, Super Mario Run will not be riddled with paid options: from the mouth of Miyamoto-San himself, you buy the game once and you will play as much as you want without having to pay again. Good news that matches the DNA of Nintendo.

The price of Super Mario Run was not disclosed but should be available before the Christmas holidays. Now we wait to see if Apple manage to maintain the exclusive Nintendo productions, but the closed and secured alongside iOS tipped the balance of his side.

Test: Wiko Fever Special Edition, the smartphone that does not dazzle

2016-09-07T10:25:00.002-07:00

The new version of smartphone 4G Wiko embeds 32GB and shines more brightly in the night. With also performances on the rise ?

After Fever 4G Wiko offers 4G smartphone Fever Special Edition which costs 50 euros more expensive. What are the main differences? The special edition has 32 GB of memory instead of 16 GB and the Android 6.0 system changes (Marshmallow). Wiko has also made an effort on the back of this novelty that is now available in ash wood finish, asphalt or paprika. It is the latter that we have received and if the plastic is required, all proves pleasant to the eye and grip.

From both sides of the wafer are white lines which have the characteristic of absorbing the ambient light and then glow in the dark. The phosphorescent effect has more to gadget but may be practical to find his smartphone in the dark.

By removing the back, the two sites are discovered for Sim card, practices for a personal line and professional line, and the microSD card slot. Unfortunately, the battery is not removable.

5 inch HD display correctly
As Fever 4G, the Fever Special Edition features a 5.2 inch display with IPS technology and a high resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Brightness is revised downwards (378 cd / m² against 450 cd / m²) but still passable. Even finding the contrast ratio (1260: 1), however, remains a bit higher than average. With its high resolution, the smartphone screen book generally satisfactory display.

Where it spoils seriously, this is at the octal-core processor Mediatek MT6753 1.3GHz, less powerful, and despite an improved graphics chip (Mali T720 instead of T624), is struggling to manage the definition however low the screen. If navigating the Android 6.0 interface proves sufficiently fluid (solid 3GB of RAM are not strangers), it should not count use the smartphone with 3D games like Real Racing 3 or Asphalt 8. with the test Epic Citadel Moreover, the display rate falls from 24 to only 18 frames per second when the processor heats up. One small consolation, the overcoat Wiko has the "Smart My Left Page" rather pleasant, which allows access from the home screen quickly to contacts, favorite apps to four and a wire news. To do this, simply make a slip of the finger to the right.

A very average endurance
Side endurance, not joy because this special edition loses an average of 1:30 autonomy from the Fever 4G. The result is satisfactory communications (about 14 h 30 min) but the smartphone holds only 5 h 45 min to our versatile self test (sequence aligning multiple uses such as surfing the Web, viewing photos, reading videos, etc.), a result well below average. It will not require too much nor too long, this model, under penalty of being out of power before the end of the day.

Finally the Fever Special Edition is little better than the Fever 4G for taking photos and videos. The rear sensor of 13 megapixels produces images just correct outside but which prove too smooth and precise. The only significant point is the speed of autofocus. Same treatment inside that turns complete blur if the ambient light is too low and the flash is not activated. As for the videos, they are certainly captured in 1080p but the result was marred by a jerky and distorted image.

Snapchat he secretly preparing an augmented reality product ?

2016-09-06T17:51:00.000-07:00

The rumor that Snapchat is currently developing a virtual reality machine returns to a more and more regular.

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group, in an unexpected new member: Snapchat. This accession to the consortium, which sets the specifications and grant of licenses Bluetooth, could demonstrate a willingness to spend Snapchat world of software than the hardware, with a product that therefore would connect Bluetooth.

According to the Financial Times, it could be part of the field of augmented reality. As Microsoft and Google HoloLens with these glasses with Daydream helmets, the start-up could be carried away by the potential of this market.

The fact that the addition of "virtual items" in images is already present in filters and effects application reinforces that Snapchat is interested in the subject.

Acquisitions and hires

Another fact which reinforces the theory, during the summer 2015, Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snapchat, was photographed with a pair of strange glasses with two image sensors slid into the frame. Simple gadget or preview of augmented reality glasses? Nobody knew, but observers had noticed they resembled those Vergence Labs had designed.

Then, in March, it was reported that engineers from Nokia and Logitech had joined a "secret" research team to develop a mystery product.

Another acquisition indicates that Snapchat is very interested in virtual reality: that of the start-up Seene last July. With filters developed by this company, Snapchat could add a 3D picture format to the app and develop new projects in the field of virtual reality ...

Finally, last index, the research lab Snapchat team was joined in early summer by a former Microsoft who worked on HoloLens glasses.

Snapchat currently has 150 million daily active users and it has become a platform of choice for the broadcast of live events as well as chat with friends. Nothing so unusual about Snapchat wants to go further.

iPhone 7 : Apple can it benefit the problems of Galaxy Note 7 ?

2016-09-06T17:08:00.000-07:00

While marketing the Galaxy Note 7 was postponed indefinitely, Apple has just a 10% increase orders of components necessary for its iPhone 7. The absence of rays of the super star of Samsung could well be a boon for Apple .

Apple he will enjoy the misadventure that is experiencing with its Samsung Galaxy Note 7 ? The US manufacturer has in any case to increase by 10% orders components required to manufacture its next iPhone should be announced September 7.

According to Taiwan's Digi-times website, it shows confidence in its future Apple smartphone instead, despite the general decline in sales of this product type. Apple's initial orders accounted indeed a forecast of 60% of iPhone sales last year at the same time.

An alternative under the iPhone for consumers

But defective battery problems on his Samsung Galaxy Note 7 may well be beneficial to Apple. Even though it is now presented in August to avoid confrontation with the new iPhone, the Samsung large format smartphone is one of its most serious competitors. With the functions enabled by its stylus and its curved screen, it is definitely the Samsung model that differs most from the iPhone.

His absence stores when the iPhone will be sold 7 represents a real opportunity for Apple. Without recent and serious alternative on the sector of high-end smartphones, this is an avenue that opens before Apple this season. Until Samsung also specifies a new date for marketing the Galaxy Note 7.
