People may have different suggestions on what they wish to see Apple do with a new iOS or iPhone. There are several responses from users and after taking out some of them there is still a list of worthwhile features. Below is the top 10 list of the iPhone 6 requested features from the iDevice users.

1. Style

Top of the most iPhone 6 requested features is that this new iPhone should not be just a simple refresh of the old iPhone. It requires a new panache, a new style and to be anything but a new slab of black and alloy rimmed glass. A new drastic design is not likely. Flexible, transparent and Roll out screens, bendable batteries and new materials such as carbon fibre and Kevlar are not simple technologies to include in a handset at the moment.

2. A variety of designs and collectibles

Users wish for individuality and Apple might be able to provide a variety of 50collectors editions’ with social or corporate branding and new covers. In no doubt, we all can slip over it an Iron Man cover, but what about Gucci or Versace with pearls and diamonds. Apple needs to start a customization program like the Motorola’s new X phone which allows clubs and corporates and to arrange small tradition runs. It needs to get back Objet d’art status.

3. Podcast App Redesign

Some people say that since the separation of the Podcast feature from the Music app, the entire experience has been rather dismal. Among the major issues some of the people say is that they feel that if Podcasts and Music were together it could have made the experience simpler. Also, this dedicated app takes a long time to load and to download.

4. Full Video Games

One of the most iPhone 6 requested features is that Apple should upgrade the next iDevices version to be strong enough to enable full video games such as Borderlands 2 or World of War craft. With Windows 8 tablets like Razer Edge and the Surface Pro making a push for the tablet-sized gaming, Apple ought to bite into this subject by making a number of deals with gaming companies so as to code variety of games for iDevices.

5. Screen size

4″ isn’t sufficient — 5″, 1080p is better. The bezel’s width— the surround of the screen depends on technology. Similar to Samsung, Apple is supposed to use active-matrix organic light emitting diode IAMOLED] that considers the thinnest bezel – e.g. a larger screen in a smaller body. Retina is good but is seen more like a marketing gimmick but not a standard like 1080p.

6. Offline Maps

The Drive apps that are in Nokia’s Lumia series are so great. Being able to download map information for offline use is incredibly helpful and ought to be a standard feature in all mobile phones, particularly the iPhone

7. Technology

Users don’t want to know whatever is under the bonnet. They just want to identify it works and, per se, it will need Bluetooth 4, NFC, USB and the usual collection of sensors. A file system to enable store external information would be good.

8. Auto-Airplane Mode

At times you even fail to realize you are in a bad cellular zone until your battery is about dry off. If the iPhone 6 can not receive a constant and stable connection subsequently it automatically should turn off features. If there is no cell tower in the place and roaming is turned off.

9. Lightning connector

There is just a single good thing to say regarding the proprietary connector — it does plugs in both ways. Its users’ are yearning for a normal micro USB connector which will transfer and charge data all at once. It would be simpler to make a lightning converter for people who own a legacy iPad or iPhone 5. The most requested features include a mini HDMI connector as well, for video out and maybe video in.

10. Less crippled apps

Customers have been critical at the level of crippled, free apps which are simply there to nag you to purchase the full version. Suggestion range from removing all the trial versions and allowing 1 month use of the full app before it’s disabled, initial app credit as part of the iPhone 6 purchase price to allow try before buying, a full apps credit subsequently uninstalled within 2 months, and a credit of 50% within 4 months. The aforementioned is a variety of analysts, and user, conjecture as to what features would make the new iPhone the phone it should be to knock off Samsung.

Razer showed its Battlefield 4 accessories to the public. Battlefield 4 will be out this coming October and a lot of people are excited in playing the game. We all know that the Battlefield series has been very widely received. Battlefield 3 itself was praised by many fans who love the franchise. Now, with Battlefield 4 just around the corner, the fans are highly excited and with this new accessories exclusively for the game, they will have a great experience.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is retiring his position within the next 12 months. It is clear that Microsoft did a “180” with its policies because of low pre order sales of Xbox one. I say this because it’s clear that was the reason because Microsoft didn’t care for their fans even on E3 they still were arrogant with all there “demonic” policies. Last month, we saw the departure of Don Mattrick’s departure from Microsoft and indeed he deserved to be fired. I believe that the purpose of him leaving was for Zynga was just a cover up. Clearly, he blew it all off. Anyways, let’s get back Steve Ballmer was with Microsoft for many years. Ballmer has been with Microsoft since 1980, and was the first business manager hired by Bill Gates in the company’s fledgling years. He was named CEO in 2000 and helped to usher in the Xbox era when the company entered the games console business in 2001. So it is rather fishy as to why he suddenly needs to retire. I believe it has something to do with the Xbox One’s “new policy”. Microsoft has no choice but to reverse their policy if they don’t want to lose the battle with Sony. Steve Ballmer also quoted some words.

“We have embarked on a new strategy with a new organization and we have an amazing Senior Leadership Team. My original thoughts on timing would have had my retirement happen in the middle of our company’s transformation to a devices and services company. We need a CEO who will be here longer term for this new direction.” -Steve Ballmer

This may or may not be a cover up but who knows. Based on my opinion, it’s the logical way to do. He’s fired because of the old policies of the Xbox one that he and Don Mattrick tired to push through. All these retirement fiasco is just a cover up based on my opinion. Microsoft is laying out their workers even top executives because they know if they won’t do something with the “leadership” of  the Xbox, then they will surely fail. They already lost a lot of cash because of their arrogance and know they are trying to pick up the pieces. Sony is by far the best choice if you’re into console gaming. Sure, Sony loves money too, but aren’t we all. I rather buy from a company that would listen to me or to its fans than a company who doesn’t care about its fan base and simply want to milk out more money from the fans’ pockets. Microsoft did that, they want to milk more money and they didn’t even listen to their loyal fans. Even loyal fans today are switching over to the Playstation 4. Now, Microsoft wants to do things right. Hopefully, they do.

 

 

It seems that Sony isn’t satisfied with a 50gb disc storage. A normal Dual layered Blu Ray disc has a storage data of 50gb. Normally, triple A games have 15gb to 20gb as of today, so a 300gb disc storage clearly has a lot of “space” into it, but as we all know as technology advances each year, we will certainly need a higher disc storage. While it’s clear that Sony is developing this, it’s target is for professional use as of now. Sony also is working with Panasonic in developing this new technology. Having a large disc space is indeed helpful for those who are into video editing, data storage, photos and the like. Professionals with those mentioned will appreciate the extra space. Although there are one or two terabyte hard disks out there, a 300gb disc space will be helpful.

“So, how could this new technology appeal to gamers? Well, that’s not immediately clear. Sony could very well release the new discs under a Blu-ray moniker, or attempt to make the discs compatible with the PlayStation 4. Realistically, the discs would likely prove cost prohibitive and unnecessary for storing game data.” -IGN

Soon enough games will improve. With the Playstation 4 and Xbox one just around the corner, its lifespan will indeed experience new technology. So as technology progresses, so do games and once that happens we may need more data stored in the disc based games. Isn’t it exciting that as we go into the future, games would be able to be more realistically visualized. The power of the Playstation 4 is undeniable, so it’s safe to say that Sony will indeed make a 300gb disc based game that’s compatible with the Playstation 4. Overall, this is a great idea. Imagine all information and data restored on a 300gb disc. Even if information is stored with 100gb gives you superb quality, what more if it’s 300gb worth of data, now that’s pure quality.
