Do I need an new iPhone? iPhone 7

Apple recently had their press conference and revealed to the world the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. I watched the conference and besides being awed by the new gadgets I was asking myself a single question.

Do I need a new iPhone?

Now that might not seem to be everyone else's question but it was mine and for the single reason that I've had my phone for two years and usually upgrade every two years, but...

Do I need a new iPhone?

I currently have the iPhone 6 and it does all I need it to do with good enough speed. Battery life is still reasonably good and Phone still looks great. Photos taken with camera are pretty good for a mobile device and processor is keeping up with application I currently have on it.

Still looks similar to iPhone 6, same style. If I were to upgrade, I think this time I would consider buying the new iPhone 7 Plus. Not only for the larger screen, but better battery life and dual camera. During the conference they emphasized  on the camera aspect quite a bit of time and for good reason. The dual camera add new features that no other phone has which is the ability to take great photos similar to an DSLR. No, we are  not quite there Apple, but it's a great start and photos look great.

Really liked the blurred background effect and focus on person, no need to buy DSLR or editing program to achieve them with nice quality for beginners in photography. Dual camera feature phone will be great for vacations and on the go. No need to carry a larger camera around. I'm own a Nikon DSLR camera and learning curve was a little tough for a beginner. That is one reason Apple products are so popular, they just work and are simple to use. All processes are made with it's software and hardware. All you have to do is point, wait a few milliseconds for it to focus, press the button to shoot the photo and voila. Done, great photo.

New wireless headphones a.k.a. Air Pods. To soon to jump into them and too pricey. It is a bold move to be made by Apple and someone has to start right? To new for me. It's like the original iPhone, perhaps 2nd or 3rd generation will be better, more battery life than 5 hrs. etc. of course they will. Why wouldn't they?

Back to the question at hand: do I need a new iPhone?

The answer is simply no.

I don't have a dual lens but I'm fine with it. I don't have a faster processor, more memory or larger screen and I'm fine with it. The reason is because every year a new phone is revealed, mainly because technology grows at such a rapid pace that there will always be something better and bigger. My current phone will support new iOS10, it will support the Air Pods in case I want to use them.

DO YOU NEED ONE? Read below then watch the link to video of new iPhone 7.


If you have never had one and plan to jump into Apple iPhone, the answer is YES, jump in, you will love it if you just want a phone that works. If you own an older iPhone and want to upgrade, I would recommend it for iPhone 5 users and bellow. It will be a huge upgrade from what you have in all aspects. If you have an iPhone 6, then ask you self the same question I have been asking myself, "Do I need a new iPhone?

In-case you haven't seen it here it is

iPhone 8? Anyone. Drastic changes are short coming to the phone. OMLED displays perhaps in near future. YES, YES, YES. All will be better and while my phone still has life in it, I will continue to use it until apps get drastically slower or when someone gives me one to review and keep. (wink)


Thank for reading, have great day.

Sony, Apple and Microsoft in the Spotlight this month

Today in the tech world, I'm going to talk to you guys about three hot topics that is on several tech savvy minds this month.

These topics are not in any particular order:

1. Sony Welcome back package is on live on PlayStation Store

Sony gives us the welcome back package of free downloads and servers have been getting overwhelmed with all the download traffic hitting it. After all, there are only over a million subscribers that know about this free stuff.
In the Sony blog, you can find messages stating to try again if you receive a error message to download. I'm pretty sure many gamers expected this to happen, which includes me.
Even with those overload issues on their store network, we are glad that things are getting back the way it needs to be. What games do I download? If you are a hardcore gamer that loves all games, you probably bought or downloaded all the games they are offering for free.
This comes to a disappointment to many new PS3 owners because the free downloads only are being given to registered owners from May 20, 2011 and before. Hopefully you didn't buy a PS3 for that particular reason.

2. Apple Developers Conference 2011

Which will be held from June 6 - 10 in California. Apple has gain so much momentum with a large fan base which now look forward to see what the future holds. Every year in June, Apple gives us something new, they revolutionized the mobile world with their introduction of the original iphone and iOS mobile operating system. Gave thousands of developers the ability to make money from home. Last year they introduced a newly designed iPhone 4. It does not make sense for them to stand back and let Android OS beat them.
There have been many rumors and predictions on what will be next, but this time around apple has been really quiet and have kept their new technology away from prying eyes without any leaks to the internet other than a manufacturer that says they have actual iPhone 5 parts that suggest a larger screen. We can only wait and see if the next iPhone will really be called the iPhone 5 or just iPhone 4S. What are your thoughts on it? If interested many popular blogs will be giving direct feed from the event.

3. E3

This exposition in Los Angeles has become a main place for gaming companies to show what new hardware or software improvements will be of their current consoles and a place to show off new gaming titles.
Many are expecting the anticipated Wii 2 at the Nintendo conference. Nintendo has re-won the hearts of many gamers with the introduction of their motion sensing controllers, but excluded HD capabilities. Even with that missing, Nintendo pushed forward with millions of sales above the competition, lets see what they have in store for us this year.
Sony has sent out invitations to many with invitation to a 5 hour long conference to show off what they have. Lets just hope it's not 3 hours of saying I am sorry and actually show what is new and what we are to expect with the improvements with the PlayStation console and where it is headed. PS3 is suppose to have a 10 year life span, lets see if they keep milking it or go forward with a new console. Rumors have surfaced of the PS4 in development. Could E3 be a place for new hardware unveiling?
Microsoft has it's own conference too, and they too have been working on their next generation console. Let's see what they bring to the table this year.

It is an exciting month for many techies out there and are looking forward to see what new technology brings. With Intel's new 3D transistor, we are very likely to see more powerful and energy efficient systems. Nintendo introducing the Wii 2 will surely place them ahead of the game with better HD system, which should have a better graphics card and more memory than existing game consoles, but not necessarily the best. Will a new XBOX bring blu-ray to its systems. Will there be price drops on all systems. One thing for sure is that they all will be competing to be at the center of your living room as your entertainment station, with Wifi connectivity that will let you connect online and get the most of it. Let the game console domination wars continue.

iOS 5 introducing Over-The-Air Firmware updates

Apple might have a new update up their sleeves with iOS 5 which reports show might bring Over-The-Air Firmware update.

If they decide to use over the air update with 3G then more compresses packages are needed or they should only use Wi-Fi as a source of update download for huge files over 600 megs.

We will see what happens, but all the new technology on the rise it does not surprise me that this will actually be implemented for convenience and the fact that more and more people on the go are using tablets and handhelds than PC's these days for ease of use.

Ipad 2 arrives tomorrow

Ipad 2 to arrive in stores by 5:00pm, will u be in line for the new version. Unit seems to have nice addition in speed. We will see if we can pre-order for store pick up at midnight.

Verizon iPhone and Google TV SOON

Part 1:
Verizon iPhone to be available early next year, as soon as January 2011.

For full story visit this link:Verizon iPhone

Verizon owners will know the strain AT&T network gets from the traffic. Well at least others will have the opportunity to have it on their own network. The information is solid even if Verizon has not confirmed it yet. Check out the link above from wall street journal for full story.

Part 2: Google TV

Google TV soon to be in competition with Apple TV and others want to make the TV/ Internet integration better for all. Looks great and from the looks of it, Pre-Orders are sold out.

They have partnered up with Sony and Logitech to bring the best of TV and Internet to your living room. Now before I go own, this has been tried before in the past with little success, but know that computers and TV are more a part of life, Technology in general. It is making it's comeback, no more keeping a computer next to your TV to view emails or surf the web. This is definitely a nice new touch to all the consumers that want to show others stuff on the web without having to connect the computer in the living room. This is going to be big, and Google looks to have a better outlook on how to integrate it than Apple.

Surfing the web is only one thing you can do, check out the link below to see what I'm writing about.
