Last month, we had a case that allowed Android to be a part of iOS. Now, a MESUIT case made by Chinese mobile OS virtualization company Haimawan can do it better. 

MESUIT case: a new age of Android iPhone

MESUIT case is not the first time that some one tries to put this couple – Android and iOS together. Tendigi developer Nick Lee built a case that with an enclosed circuit board running an adapted version of Android Marshmallow. And this time, the MESUIT case is a commercial version produced by Haimawan company using a custom-built app, users can boot the iPhone in Android. The creative idea is possible thanks to Apple’s international popularity, they do not change their design much as well.

The MESUIT case provides Android-based operating system, called Mesuit OS 1.0. It is able to run on iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s and 6s Plus devices. More interesting, it also supports an external battery and storage expansion via its own SIM card slot. MESUIT case has different models for each kind of iPhone: for iPhone 6 and 6s are the same with an additional 1700 mAh of battery, while the bigger version for Plus accompanies with 2500 mAh. It also comes in three storage capacities – with 32GB, 64GB and 128GB of memory.

It is really easy to connect MESUIT case to your iPhone via the Lightning port and runs Android as an app within iOS. The case also contains a second Nano SIM slot that allows ease of use with the Android OS. However the MESUIT seems not to be better than its predecessor from Nick Lee because of lack of some features including SD card, HDMI, or full-size USB ports.

MESUIT case: in case you are interested……

The MESUIT case is available for sale in China with around $150 for iPhone 6 / 6S model. For the larger iPhone 6 Plus / 6S Plus, MESUIT case prices at $165. Unfortunately, the company has not announced if the MESUIT will be available outside of China.

A phone with phablet size offers better entertaining activities and premium feeling. Since 2010, Phablets have been growing with lots of companies around the world. Here are five best phablets till now.

1. iPhone 6S Plus

Even though iPhone 6S Plus was not the first smartphone which is spotted with big size screen, it is a best phablet till now. This Apple handset flaunts a 5.5-inch full HD display. It is not Apply’s tradition to frequently change its platform like other phone makers. The iPhone 6S Plus goes after its predecessor, iPhone 6 Plus like the stylish metal build, TouchID fingerprint scanner.

Although iPhone 6S Plus specs do not mount high technical indicators, they perform more efficiently than others. The smartphone mounts 2GB of RAM along with 3 base internal storages with 16/64/128 GB. This handset also sports a dual-core processor clocked at 1.84 GHz sitting on Apple-made Apple A9 chipset. iPhone 6S has a 2750 mAh battery coupled with 12MP primary camera capable of taking great shots and 5MP secondary shooter. The 6S Plus is not a cheap handset, especially in larger storage sizes (up to 128GB), but it does a good job of justifying every penny you’ll spend. iPhone 6S Plus price for 16GB model ranges at $754 (PHP 34999), 64 model: $881 (PHP 41999) and the last 128GB: $850 (PHP 40000).

Smash iPhone- this is a new trend of the Chinese patriots. They do it to object the decision of the South China Sea ruling. Well, this is how they do to show their loves to the country.

Smash iPhone: this is how Chinese patriots do

We all know that in the South China Sea arbitration ruling, Philippines won the case. According to that, China doesn’t have any legal evidence to prove that South Sea belongs to them. Many big countries like the USA, UK or Europe supports the international judge’s decision. And this makes the Chinese people aren’t happy at all. In fact, they are very angry and aggressive.

To show the anger and aggressions, they decide to boycott mangoes (the signature of Philippines) and crash iPhones+ avoid KFC. This is like a payback to Filipinos and American. They show hostile attitudes to the world . This is not a first time the patriots from China do these expressions. They used to do this to Japanese by smashing Japanese cars.

Many people have said that they won’t use any products or services from those countries, including the ones supporting the ruling. The most two affected target of this movement is iPhone and mango from Phillipines. They smash iPhones and posted the images on Weibo. Mago shops stops selling this kind of product or claim that their mangoes are from Thailan or China.

Smash iPhone: a big loss of Apple

With this situation, Apple is definiately not happy at all. It will make the revenue of the US company decline dramatically. Because China is one of the most important markets of Apple. Previously, this US brand was also requested to shut down iBooks and iTunes Movies services. iPhone 7 is about to release. And the Chinese will refuse to buy it. Well, this is the way they show their loves to the mother land. They can’t fight directly, they won’t be fool to “provides bullets for the enemy”.

iPhone and Android devices have been opponents for years. iPhone used to be exclusive in the market, Android devices have changed the situation though, there are still 4 things below your Android buddy can not do.

Android devices need to be improved…

Firstly, power efficiency is an important thing that users always care about. Although Android devices can not be counted now, according to some reports about battery benchmarks, the iPhone still takes the cake for efficiency. This is a difficult situation for Google to correct as it is not able to control over hardware and software integration, but Google is working hard for Google’s guidelines on Marshmallow, which is a right step.

Secondly, Apple always does its best to take care of apps. It takes time to update apps on Google store. Otherwise, Apple provides its users with direct pipeline for updating software. Sometimes it is kind of dangerous when security threats are not properly fixed. To solve such problem, Google has developed parts of the Android OS to receive updates from directly from Google Play, but it is still a small step to achieve what Apple is doing to support iPhones and iPads.

Thirdly, Apple has focused on improve its retail store network. Thus, iOS users can be strongly supported. In terms of Android devices, they are not directly supported by Google, but they have indirect support through individual manufacturers, such as Samsung. With the myriad number of different Android products out in the market, it’s not quite as common that a Galaxy owner will be responsible for supporting an LG, Moto, or Nexus.

Fourthly, Android devices need to have……

Platform consistency is an Android’s strength. Apply has been loyal to the same UI for many years. It seems to be a weakness when there are few changes appear after upgrading. Meanwhile, Android devices has get into an opposite way. For instance, the jump from Galaxy S2 to Galaxy S6 would represent some pretty significant changes to the UI. If you know anything that iOS does better than Android devices, please comment below

If you’re looking for a budget phone having the good specs, you come to the right place. This time, we’ll show you the top cheapest phones in the range of $100 to $400.

1. Apple iPhone SE

iPhone from Apple is a popular brand. It’s famous for strong specs: good camera, unique processor and OS. It can’t be denied that, among the various Android and Windows phones, Apple phones are still the favorite ones. And, of course, this device is also famous for the high price. However, mow the company released a budget iPhone-  iPhone SE. This phone is considered as the best budget phones in this “cheapest phones” list.

In terms of  iPhone SE specs, the handset runs on A9 processor and iOS 9.3. You can find a 2GB of RAM and a 16GB of inbuilt storage. You can also choose another ROM option: 64GB. The screen is quite small with 4 inches. Apple phone is alway famous for its camera. So, you won’t be let down with a 1.2MP front snapper and a 12MP primary cam.  iPhone SE price is quite high with around $400.

Mobile data is absolutely money consuming. It is always wise to watch a Youtube video using Wifi rather than the expensive wireless service. This article will provide you with the solution for limiting your mobile data usage.

How to know your mobile data consuming?

Whether you have an iPhone or Android smartphone, there are a number of steps you can take to check how much data that you have used. Just go to Settings > Cellular then scroll down to see precise numbers of how much data each one of your apps has consumed. Firstly, it is not time-consuming to consider which app will worth using mobile data. One more tip, remember to reset the data rundown regularly or the information will not be fresh. It may be helpful to set an alert at the beginning to put yourselves into a notice of how much you’re being charged. All you need to do is just scrolling down to the bottom of the Cellular screen and hit Reset Statistics.

When mobile date seems luxurious for your Internet surfing, WiFi will be your priority. Secondly, Wifi using whenever and wherever possible. However, be careful with your personal accounts because not all the Wifi networks are safe enough for you to make transactions. Moreover, it would be better to frequently go through all your apps and service to make sure there is no app that is left with unwanted mobile date usage. For an iPhone, you can easily toggle button off. But it is likely hard for an Android one, you need to use a third-party app to control such mobile data usage.

Thirdly, it is obviously save the mobile data by using Wifi for app updating. There are different steps for iOS and Android. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > Use Cellular Data and turn off the Use Cellular Data option as for iOS users. Meanwhile the Android owners can go to the Google Play store and hit Menu > Settings > Auto-update apps and select the “Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only” option.

You may not know….

Finally, the background data not only drains your battery but also uses your mobile data up. Background Data is used to process and sync apps even automatically update them. The thing is you can manually do it without Background Data. As for iOS, go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and toggle the button to off. Likewise, go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Data usage, then tap on individual app icons to adjust background data usage options.

We have heard plenty of information about Apple new smartphone, here is the latest one: Apply iPhone 7 may be the first iPhone carries 32GB of ROM base. Are you interested? 

iPhone 7: specs roundup

Apple used to announce that the latest Apple phone will come in three variants: iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone 7 Pro. In comparison between iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 Pro, the Pro version seems to be better. According to Apple plan, they will launch the basic version iPhone 7 before other premium versions. Apple usually redesigns iPhones once every two years. The fact is that the last major redesign happened two years ago (2014) with iphone 6 and 6s. It means this year will be the next modification.

The latest news has been claimed by Wall Street Journal that we might say goodbye to the old version of 16GB of ROM and welcome a new 32GB base storage. These days, most flagships appear with 64 GB storage, so this change of 32 GB minimum iPhone would make sense. The built-in storage can be expanded up to 256GB, and the only way may be via microSD card, which is popular today.

The basic version of 2016 Apple smartphone will have 2GB RAM and 5.0-inch iPS LCD screen, which is a bit larger than its predecessor. However, other Apple handset variants will offer a brand-new feature of Apple: the physical home button may be replaced by a touch-sensitive one. The Plus is powered by 3GB RAM paired with a 5.5-inch LCD screen, which has 1080×1920 resolution. As previously reported, the new device will come with a Lightning connectors instead of headphone jacks.

iPhone 7: price and release date

New iPhone 7 price is not really different from its sibling’s. For the base model, the price is expected about $804, the Plus price is $926 and Pro version price will come at $1077. So, if you want to have one of those versions, you should save from now. There is no much time left. iPhone 7 release date is said to be in the beginning of September.

iPhone is the most popular smartphone that is well-known by everyone all over the world. But somehow, there is a large number of iPhone anti-fans. Lets find out why it happens?

Why are there so many iPhone anti-fan?

Firstly, it is because of its price. When an iPhone is released, people always talk about its price, . Usually an iPhone carries a price tag around $600 for its debut, which is inflated. For instance, iPhone 6s Plus 16GB release date was at the end of last year, but it still costs $831 which seems not to be a budget-friendly compared to other high-end smartphones these days. This is the substantial reason why Apple gains a lot of iPhone anti-fans.

Secondly, the iOS is said to be isolated from the tech world. iOS is known to sport an optimal performance which is appropriate to its features and configurations. On the other hand, this is its weakness since it supports a monotonous and boring user interface. Users can not actively manage it like Android does.  Thirdly, there are also some limitations on the screen. Android boasts widget, Windows has live tile to provide their buyers with necessary information. Meanwhile, iPhone just shows the number of notifications on the icons.

Thirdly, all iPhone users may agree with me about this problem of connection, especially iPhone anti-fan. Only Apple devices can connect to each other through wireless network, specifically bluetooth. There are plenty of steps that users have to follow to connect an iPhone to a computer. It is even hard to set your favourite song to be ringtone. Therefore, iPhone users usually have the same ringtone.

Iphone anti-fans also agree…..

Fourthly, the screen resolution is mentioned. Compared to current budget smartphones, which is backed with 2k or 4k display, these flagship like iPhone 6 or 6s are a bit weak with only HD resolution. Besides that, a 12MP primary camera and a small 1715 mAh which belong to iPhone 6s are more lower than other flagships. Meanwhile, Android phones seem to be improved day by day. Furthermore, many famous brands are applying this OS for their products. Thus, it seems obvious that Iphone anti-fans have gone up, which can be seen on websites or forums.

The patent seems to be the new chosen field of Chinese manufacturers. The biggest race to dominate smartphone market takes place everywhere all over the world, especially in China with Apple case.

Apple lawsuit: Chinese manufacturers piling up weapons

Primarily, it is necessary to understand that, for smartphone producers, patent is more powerful and important than anything else. Patent is a useful weapon against competitors. It does not only shows the potential of the smartphone makers but also helps the owners be possible to win in commercial disputes. Understanding the importance of patent, many domestic Chinese smartphone producers rapidly accumulate the patents by their tricks. For instance, there are franchise agreements, mergers or takeovers of these patents.

Wall Street Journal claimed that the huge wave of retaining patent possession right would start legal fights between giant techs such as Huawei, Lenovo. Apple and Samsung may be included also. Specifically, last month, Huawei Technologies announced that it has filed lawsuits against Korean rival – Samsung over alleged patent infringements in the U.S. and China.

Back to June, an unknown producer Shenzhen Baili, the Chinese company dealt a blow to Apple in patent infringement. Back then, Chinese authorities ordered technology giant – Apple to suspend sales of its latest iPhone models in Beijing since its patent infringement of Shenzen Baili design. Apple could not stand losing the case, they silently negotiated to pay compensation in order to settle the dispute.

The truth behind Apple action…

This is the first time Chinese smartphone makers, which are known to voliate the copyright of smartphone has sued their fierce Western competitors for breach of copyright. And surprisingly, they won such battles. Although the truth behind these cases are not confirmed yet, it seems like these Chinese companies will use all their tricks to keep their place. They will not allow their market to be taken over by foreigner competitors.

Once and again, the new iphone 7 has changed what we knew about it. Yesterday, we heard that iphone 7 still carries a headphone jack. But now it is confirmed in the opposite way. 

New iphone 7: Headphone jack comes back to abandoned status!

Apple usually redesigns iPhones once every two years. The fact is that the last major redesign happened two years ago (2014) with iphone 6 and 6s. It means this year will be the next modification. There are a plenty of gossips about the new iphone 7. Today the latest news has been officially confirmed by a trustworthy source – Wall Street Journal. As previously reported, the new iphone 7 will come up with Lightning connectors instead of Charging battery and headphone jacks.

Yesterday, we had received a piece of information which showed up with 4 photos including a headphone jack one. Back then, people believed that Apple still wanted to stick to the cable headphone. It is a bit dizzy that few hours ago, Wall Street Journal posted that this year’s two new iphones namely iphone 7 and 7s will be lack of a 3.5 mm audio jack. The removal of the plug will apparently make it easier for Apple to produce water resistance devices, and also make them slimmer. They will copy the same 4.7″ and 5.5″ screen sizes from previous models.

However it doesn’t mean that Apple will totally abandon its 3.5mm headphones, it is planned to include a Lightning adapter with the new iphone 7. Besides that, a pair of standard 3.5mm EarPods should be included as well. It’s not the first time we’re hearing about the resemblance between iphone brothers. As for the confirmation today, it’s obviously hard to tell how successful or flop the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be.

Next-gen iphone 7: release date

Let’s wait and see what happens in September which is supposed to be the two new iphone 7 and iphone 7s release date around the world. What happens next will be updated on our website! So keep track with us to know the latest news!

We all know Apple for their premium, luxurious iPhones launched every year. But did you ever think, what would happen if they are to release a simple, non-smartphone device?

iDot – Apple’s anti-smartphone handset

This exciting and unique idea is made my German designers from Curved, in a project called “Apple anit-smartphone”. And the simple keypad “dialer” is named iDot. iDot is in fact a compact phone that can work either as a separate mobile device or as a supplement to the smartphone. It is a perfect option for those who would like to keep their life active and independent from those addictive smartphones.

The authors of this iDot concept explained that, this mobile device works similar to the Apple Watch. When not connected to a smartphone, the handset can only function to basic calls and SMS, exactly like a feature Nokia phone. Once connected, it becomes a Bluetooth wireless mobile which can receive notifications from SMS, calls and other apps.

iDot, as it appears, is a very light and portable handset that weighs less than 100 grams and as slim as 6.3 mm. There is no camera or Internet connection. And targeting as an “anti-smartphone”, the iDot doesn’t support any app at all. The only “cool” feature it offers is the capability to sync with your iPhone via Bluetooth, including contact list. Last but not least, there is a micro-SIM card slot.

iDot – solving smartphone’ battery issue

As most smartphone users struggle a lot with their short-life mobile battery, the anti-smartphone iDot has a battery that can be charged using a standard Lightning cable and last up to 5 continuous days. There are 3 color options: space grey, silver and rose gold. And although this iDot is nowhere close to being produced yet, it is still a very interesting concept that’s worth considering.

Apple iPhone 4SE is the most unexpected smartphone to many of us. Little did we look forward to it – yes – but the phone definitely has a beautiful and stunning design

Apple iPhone 4SE – super slim body

In August, we will finally meet the long-awaited iPhone 7 with three different variants. Besides that, there seems to be another beautiful Apple device: iPhone 4SE. According to some reports, iPhone 4SE will make its first debut later this year, probably a bit after iPhone 7. iPhone 4SE as we know for now has the potential to become the best 4-inch iPhone on the market. Let’s see some Apple iPhone 4SE specs and a closer look of its appearance, which was designed by designer Armend Lleshi,

From the live images, you can see that this model of Apple iPhone 4SE comes with a fingerprint scanner, like its other siblings. Besides, the phone sports a combo of 12MP iSight camera and a 5MP selfie snapper. Other iPhone 4SE specs include Apple A9 chipset paired with 2 GB RAM. The device comes in three options of internal storage: 16, 32, and 128GB. iPhone 4SE is available in white, black, gold or rose gold. You can still find an audio jack together with a USB Type-C port.

iPhone 4SE design has a very familiar feel to that of iPhone 4s, with a more premium and modern front side. However, iPhone 4SE has a bigger 4-inch screen while the 4s has just a 3.5-inch one. Moreover, the iPhone 4SE screen (6.3mm) is slimmer than that of iPhone 4s (9.3mm).  iPhone 4SE camera will also be more enhanced compared to its sibling.

Apple iPhone 4SE – Expected to make a hit in 2016

Apple could bring the Apple iPhone 4SE to smartphone market later this year. As for iPhone 4SE price, it’s predicted to be cheaper than its siblings. The 16GB version is expected to cost around Rs. 17,838 while the 32GB and 128GB might cost Rs. 20,850 and Rs. 24,667. Are those enough to make iPhone 4SE a huge hit in later 2016?
