How to know if the performance of an iPhone has gone down 2018

How to know if the performance of an iPhone has gone down 2018 The river sounded on the network and finally brought water from Cupertino: yesterday Apple confirmed that performance decreases in “old” iPhones in order to conserve the battery. But it is something that does not affect all units and we ourselves can know if our iPhone has been affected . There are several ways to review the parties involved and several solutions according to what suits us or we want to spend. So we review what happened and propose some ways to check the status of the affected components and what it would cost to change the battery . What has happened? By way of brief summary this is what happened: a number of users of certain Apple smartphone models detected that they were slower , despite updating and trying to solve it in various ways. Some decided to go further with performance tests (benchmarks) and other measures trying to find an explanation that would later clarify the brand, putting the battery in ...

For the right to repair our devices against the technological 2018

For the right to repair our devices against the technological 2018 If you bought a Microsoft Surface Latop or a MacBook Pro and it stops working normally, forget about putting it in your hand . Trying to repair these devices is increasingly complicated, and the fault lies with manufacturers who want control over not only the hardware or software, but also the potential repairs needed by those products. Not only Apple, Microsoft, Sony or Samsung put it crude to repair our devices: all kinds of companies in all kinds of fields – they tell John Deree – they want to restrict our rights to what we buy. We have reached a point where when we buy a product, this is not ours : we can only use it (a little).Neither your products are yours, nor can you repair them You buy a smartphone and enjoy it until it starts going slower ( whatever it may be ) or it breaks. You buy a Tesla and if you use it to work as a driver, forget about loading it in the superchargers. You buy the latest album in digital...

Apple finally confirmed that the low performance on the old iPhone 2018

Apple finally confirmed that the low performance on the old iPhone 2018 Tremendous controversy broke out this week when the user known as TeckFire on Reddit measured the performance of an iPhone 6s before and after replacing the battery. Relying on Geekbench as a tool to measure CPU performance, he came to the conclusion that Apple is slowing down iPhones whose batteries have decreased their capacity . The problem with this is that everything was conjecture and there was no official version by Apple, which led to another type of analysis like the same John Poole, founder of Geekbench, who measured the performance of an iPhone 6s and an iPhone 7 where he discovered that in iOS 10.2.1 and 11.2.0 Apple incorporated a mechanism to lower the frequency of the CPU and thus prevent the device will suddenly turn off due to the process load. Apple also failed to confirm the finding of the founder of Geekbench, but today they are finally breaking the silence by mentioning that yes, the old iPhone...

Apple and its Marzipan project raise the convergence of software 2018

Apple and its Marzipan project raise the convergence of software 2018 Ubuntu was the first to raise the convergence without success . Microsoft also tried Windows 10 and its universal applications, but the failure of its mobile platform has truncated those plans. Google seems to have Fuchsia on the horizon , but and Apple? The company of Cupertino seemed not to move tab except for timid winks like those of Handoff and Continuity . Now a Bloomberg exclusive discovers us the Marzipan project , with which Apple will allow developers to offer a kind of universal applications that are designed for both iOS and macOS. Convergence arrives to the software , and that raises the question: will it also reach the hardware? An application for both iOS and for macOS Those responsible for Apple have always been clear that both iOS and macOS made sense separately, but the fact is that while the App Store for iOS has had a spectacular trajectory, that of macOS has gradually languished . As our colleagu...

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018 Microsoft is bringing something big into their hands , as the patent that was granted last week in the United States has shown. This patent had already emerged at the end of October of this year, where its resemblance reminded us of that mythical Microsoft Courier , which never saw the light. Now we have new clues that in Redmond are working on a device that is known under the code name of ‘Andromeda’ , which could be the rumored and expected Surface Phone. And now, thanks to designer David Breyer, we can have a clearer look at what this device would look like if it were real. Microsoft Andromeda David Breyer decided to get down to work and carefully read the Microsoft patent as well as the schematics and details, this with the aim of making a 3D recreation of the device and so we can understand a little what they are doing in Redmond. The first rumors, the new patent and the examples shown with the Courier sho...

At what pace do smartphones go down in price?

At what pace do smartphones go down in price? The iPhone does not go down in price until its subsequent generation is announced, and the rest of the manufacturers are making gradual decreases. Up to here the topic. In what percentage do the prices of these rest of manufacturers fall? Who makes greater discounts to their phones when they have spent a few months of the launch? Are these discounts getting bigger or smaller? To find out we have collected some 1,800 smartphone prices in Amazon Spain during the last four years, thanks to CamelCamelCamel , Keepa and Archive.org . These prices are from phones of several manufacturers (chosen with the help of Xataka Móvil’s colleagues ) during their first twenty-four months in the market -some were previously discontinued-, discarding some focused on the input range , as well as manufacturers that do not be global. We point out in particular to brands like Xiaomi, that for not having official distribution until just a few weeks ago we had to le...

Samsung Galaxy A8 - 2018

Samsung Galaxy A8 - 2018 The new Samsung Galaxy A8 come with many surprises, but there are two especially remarkable: the screen “Infinity Display” almost without frames reaches these mid-range models, which also give absolute prominence to selfies. They do it with a dual camera that this time is not in the back, but in the front . A curious bet that of course differentiates these models from their predecessors and that is reinforced with important issues such as resistance to water and dust. Get used to the infinite screens Samsung has been betting on curved screens for some time, but in 2017 we saw how that proposal went further with screens with even fewer frames like the Galaxy S8 / S8 + or Note 8. In the new Galaxy A8 the curved screen disappears , but what remain are the frames without frames that have conquered a good part of the high range and that will undoubtedly be a constant from now on in the design of mobile phones of all kinds. ranges In fact in the Galaxy A8 we find an ...

Samsung is preparing to announce the Galaxy S9 in February and put it on sale in March 2018

Samsung is preparing to announce the Galaxy S9 in February and put it on sale in March 2018 The first rumors said that Samsung would overtake everyone and launch the Galaxy S9 during the CES in Las Vegas, something that sounded a bit difficult knowing the strategy of the Koreans in recent years. Today comes new information that sounds a bit more credible, plus it comes from Mark Gurman who seems to have signed a new informant within Samsung. The information tells us that Samsung would be looking forward one month to its traditional launch window to let us know its new high range. That is, the Galaxy S9 would be released at the end of February to go on sale during March 2018. An update to catch up In that what both Gurman and Evan Blass do coincide is that the Galaxy S9 will be an iterative update , which means that we will see the same design of the Galaxy S8 with improvements in processor, camera and the premiere of Bixby 2.0 , which will also come with the supposed “smart” speaker th...

Google closes Project 2018 Tango to focus exclusively on ARCore

Google closes Project 2018 Tango to focus exclusively on ARCore Google closes Tango (known as Darling Project Tango) in a movement to some obvious extent, but what strikes us is that it has been so soon, since Google Tango has only three years of development and has given life just two devices. In a discreet way, without a statement in form and without an explanation, it was Tango’s Twitter account who broke the news that support for this technology will end on March 1, 2018 . Here, developers are only asked to adopt ARCore for future augmented reality projects. Tango and augmented reality as something complicated and expensive Project Tango was born in 2014 as one of the first augmented reality developments designed for the general public , which was born within the Advanced Technology and Projects division (ATAP), which was owned by Motorola. Already in 2015 Project Tango stops being a project and integrates Google officially as simply ‘Tango’. Between 2014 and 2015, two devices desi...

iPhone X after a month of use 2018

iPhone X after a month of use 2018 After 10 years with practically the same design, the iPhone X proposes a different idea for the Apple phone. Without start button and OLED screen, this is our in-depth test and review of the iPhone X after a month of use. Finally a great Apple phone comfortable to carry As a user years ago of an iPhone Plus model , the arrival of the iPhone X supposed a priori excellent news: to have the possibility of charging with a smartphone / phablet of more inches with less space occupied. For me, in this month of use of the iPhone X, the most shocking has been to have a 5.8-inch screen manageable . It’s almost a Christmas miracle .However, despite this reduction in size, in the day to day the iPhone X has not proven to be a lightweight terminal and, although with 30 grams less than the Plus model this year, still holds more than 170 grams day after day They are appreciable. The reason is none other than a thickness not very small and the use of quality glass. I...
