Apple Should Have Killed The 16GB iPhone 6s and 6s Plus

Most high-end smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Note5 start with an entry-level capacity of 32GB - except the iPhone. Since the iPhone 3GS, every iPhone starts at the base capacity of 16GB, and until last year’s iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, the storage tiers were 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, with each bump in storage costing an additional $100 over the $650 entry price point.

First Impressions: Samsung Galaxy Note 5. The Next Big Thing, Or Is It?

I have been an ardent supporter of the Samsung Galaxy Note since its introduction in 2011. At that time, most smartphones had a sub 5-inch screen, so the original Galaxy Note was a departure from the norm. It was not the first giant screened phone, but it was the device that popularized the segment and gave it the “Phablet” moniker. Many of Samsung’s competitors as well as technology bloggers ridiculed the size of the device.

Hangouts 4.0 Arrives For Android

A little over a month ago iOS got a new and redesigned Hangouts 4.0 update. On Monday August 10th, Google released a similar upgrade for Android. The new Hangouts sports a new design, improved speed, and other features. Some Android fan boys may ask why IOS got the update before Google's own OS. My two cents; there are two separate teams within Google doing Android and iOS app development, and the iOS team has a much smaller number of devices to test on.
