Many people didn’t understand how Apple could take so long with iOS 7.1, though we have been able to detail the company’s progress every step of the way. We have learned that Apple will most likely not release another iOS 7.1 beta for download, meaning that the public release of the software should be available sometime in the coming weeks. One of our sources pegs the release happening in early March, though that does seem far away for us. We expect a gold master build to be available before iOS 7.1 makes it way into general customers’ hands, though there is currently no hard date for that......... read full article

Building a Better Battery

SAN FRANCISCO — The next breakthrough smartphone, or maybe the one after that, might not have a traditional battery as its sole source of power. Instead, it could pull energy from the air or power itself through television, cellular or Wi-Fi signals.

Engineers at Apple even tried for many years to build a smarter battery by adding solar charging to iPhones and iPods, a former Apple executive said. And they have continued to experiment with solar charging, two people who work at the company said.

Batteries, long the poor cousin to computer chips in research-obsessed Silicon Valley, are now the rage.

New report claims to reveal almost every last detail about the iPhone 6

Somewhere around a dozen independent reports claim to have confirmed Apple’s plans to launch two new iPhone models in 2014, and now we can toss another one onto the pile. This latest report comes from South Korea’s top brokerage KDB Daewoo Securities, which is known for having inside sources that have accurately foretold companies’ plans on numerous occasions in the past. But while KDB’s recent note on the iPhone 6 and phablet-sized iPhone are mostly in line with a number of earlier reports, there are one or two areas where the firm’s claims stray into the bizarre.

In a note to investors delivered last week and picked up on Monday by Oled-display.net, KDB Daewoo Securities detailed upcoming flagship phones from both Apple and Samsung. In the case of Apple’s new iPhone models, the note seemingly reveals almost every last detail regarding the devices’ main specs.

HTC Butterfly S 16 GB of internal storage Review

HTC Butterfly S 16 GB of internal storage Review

Aaron reviews the HTC Butterfly S, the Taiwanese cousin of the HTC One with some impressive improvements under the hood. Available now in select countries, the Butterfly S packs a 1.9 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 CPU, 5-inch 1080p HD display, 4-ultrapixel camera with 1080p HD recording, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, 3,200 mAh battery, and Android 4.2.2. Jelly Bean with HTC Sense 5.

While you lose the metal exterior, the Butterfly S brings some huge improvements over the HTC One, including a display that's the same size as the Galaxy S 4's and a much larger 3,200 mAh battery. The downside is the cost - with no carrier availability in the US, the unlocked price of the HTC Butterfly S sits at about $800. Larger display, larger battery - and larger price point

50 mins screen time with just 10 percent drain on mobile data connection is impressive. that means almost 10 hour screen time on a full charge. If on wifi, it would almost double.
