Apple is set to ditch the cheaper flash storage components it uses in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, after a number of users complained of their devices crashing and becoming stuck in a so–called boot loop.
According to Business Korea, Apple is binning the cheaper triple-cell NAND flash units in its 64GB and 128GB iPhones for multiple cell NAND flash, which is found in models with smaller capacity.
The website also adds weight to reports that Apple will soon release iOS 8.1.1 to fix issues for those who’ve already bought more capacious iPhones and are still struggling with issues related to storage.
Stories emerged last week of users’ iPhones crashing at regular intervals, of apps failing to open and boot loops, which saw phones repeatedly turn themselves on and off. Users also reported their iPhones flashing up blue or red screens.
Anecdotally, uSwitch has also experienced this issue on a 16GB iPhone 6, which Apple replaced citing a catastrophic hardware error. Staff at its London Regent Street store confirmed they had seen the problem on a number of occasions.
Officially, Apple has yet to acknowledge this or any of the other errors thrown up since the release of iOS 8.0.2, some of which have left new iPhones unusable.

The 2014 Black Friday fever appears to infect Apple too as the tech giant will reportedly start the operation of its retail stores earlier than usual on November 28, likely providing killer deals to iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 shoppers.
But what exactly are in store for Apple fans remain under wraps as Apple Insiderreported that Black Friday this year foriPhone and iPad buyers will be slightly different from the previous years.
Limited early openings
For one, not all Apple Stores in the United States will take part in the Black Friday shopping frenzy. While many stores will let in customers by 8AM in the last Friday of November 2014 there will be some that will open their doors like it is an ordinary day.
According to Apple Insider, most Apple Stores' start of operation for Black Friday this year will be two hours later compared to 2013. The earliest that Apple Stores started selling during the same occasion was in 20111 when most stores started attending to customers between 12 midnight and 4AM.
Apple fans cannot expect the same this 2014, no thanks to the sales performance posted in the same period last year.
"Apple is not pushing for early-bird customers this year, citing sales numbers from 2013," Apple Insider said on its report.
Uncertain promo deals
Like in previous Black Fridays, Apple is not revealing its offerings early though Apple Insider is saying that the deals will likely be a repeat of last year. For instance, the publication noted that iPhone and iPad buyers in the U.S. and Australia were given gift cards.
While there is a chance that discounts on hardware products would be dangled, these deals will likely involve old iPhone, iPad, iPod, MacBook and Mac models.
Options for killer Apple discounts
Still, Black Friday savings on Apple devices can be realised via the traditional channels, according to Business Insider. The tech site nominated the likes of Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Sam's Club as the more reliable sources of killer dealers, especially for those planning to grab the iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 at lower price tags.
True enough, Sam's Club has already announced its juicy iPhone 6 deal for Black Friday, which will allow buyers to take home the handset for as low as $99 beginning on November 15.
Other players are expected to join in, including online retail giant Amazon, in packaging the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus as tempting holiday buys, starting this Black Friday and going forward to the 2014 Christmas season.

When we reviewed Motorola’s second-generation Moto X back in September, we called it the best Android phone in the world. Of course, a lot has changed since then. Bigger phones have been released. Faster phones have been released. More powerful phones have been released. In fact, Motorola itself launched a smartphone last week that fits all three of those criteria. What hasn’t been released, however, is a better smartphone. The Moto X offers a size, shape, display, interface, price and user experience that are ideal for the widest range of smartphone users looking for a high-end phone. And soon, it will also offer Android 5.0.
Motorola promised a speedy update to Lollipop for its latest phones and now, a new leak reveals Google’s new Android 5.0 Lollipop software running on the second-generation Moto X.
How close is Motorola to releasing its Android 5.0 update for the new Moto X? From the looks of things, pretty close.
Android fan blog Phandroid has managed to obtain screenshots from an unnamed source that show Lollipop running on a 2014 Moto X. Motorola’s version of Android is pretty close to stock so we shouldn’t expect any radical changes, but we can already catch some new elements such as the tweaked camera interface and drop-down toggles.
A few of the leaked images follow below and the rest can be seen by following the link down in our source section.

Some Distinctions Between Android And J2ME

A certain set of several software products and specifications is known as Java. Developed by the Sun Microsystems (now a part of Oracle Corporation), Java provides a system application development software that can be deployed over various cross platform computing environment. The software product is utilized on a number of computing platforms from mobiles to embedded devices, to the enterprise servers and supercomputers. The Java applets are used to provide security when browsing the internet.
Writing of the language produces code as Java bytecode. Though there are compilers for languages like JavaScript, Python, Ruby and Ada, the new language is designed to run locally on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) named Groovy, Clojure, and Scala. The syntax borrows heavily from C++ and C. With a simple memory model, all objects are heaped and the variable object types are referred. The memory management is processed by JVM's automated garbage collection.
The language of Java has undergone many changes since the launch of Java Development Kit 1.0 in January 23, 1996. After the J2SE 1.4, the Java Community Process (JVM) primarily governed this language.
The Java Platform, Micro Edition
The Java ME language is a platform devised for embedded systems, like devices such as a mobile phone to industrial objects to set top boxes. Designed by the Sun Microsystems, the platform was the replacement of Personal Java, a similar technology. Developed under the JCR as the JSR 68, as per December 22, 2006 the J2ME is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
Distinction between J2ME and Android
Both Android and J2ME are used to create mobile applications. The following are some of the key differences between the J2ME Applications and Android Software Applications:
The Android mobile devices come with more functionality than J2ME. Equipped with camera and GPS, the Android can be configured to incarcerate data using customized code of third parties. This enables integration of novel data. J2ME can perform similar multimedia playback and GPS collection, but it makes the phone more expensive. GPS and J2ME need a S60 operating system which is more complex.
The Android mobiles are built integrating user interface allowing easier working interface and enabling easier navigation. Much more intuitive than J2ME, the problem lies in mistaken entries or accidental exits from the application. On the other hand, J2ME interface is limited but streamlined and can take over entire functionality of the device.
The display screen of the Android is much bigger for easy accessing. The J2ME apps are optimized for better visibility albeit in a much smaller screen. This makes sharing of videos and images difficult. However, in Android, the viewing angles can be resistive.
Android with low-technical capacities have been using ODK in the past but many components were difficult to adopt. The widgets were more visible and easier to use. J2ME supports "sense" mode. This is designed for users with low technical capacity. Familiar with those who use the S40 Smartphone are often frustrated with the inefficiency of sense interface.

iPhone 6 Plus Review: Does Biggest Mean Best?
Cellcom Communications
|
BIGGER and then some, we test out Apple's phablet-sized iPhone 6 Plus. But is it a better choice than the iPhone 6?
The iPhone 6 Plus is the biggest handset Apple has ever built. It’s also one of the largest handsets you can buy in the UK right now. Odd, considering only a few months ago Apple’s iPhones were smaller than 90% of their contemporaries with their 4in displays. But the real reason behind Apple’s change of heart is a very simple one: the market (that's you lot) now demands bigger phones, so Apple pretty much had to start playing ball –– it just took the company a bit longer than everybody else to realise this.
The 2014 iPhones –– the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus –– are, of course, the best smartphones the company has ever produced, bringing together everything that made the iPhone 5s great (ecosystem, great silicon, decent imaging), adding in a slight variation to the design, and, of course, larger display panels. These are the takeaway points, but the other BIG THING about these iPhones is how they’re selling; Apple has shifted 39 million units already since the handsets launched.
I’ve been using both handsets since they went on sale, and while I did enjoy using both, the iPhone 6 has gone on to become my daily driver. The reason? Simple: I prefer its overall size and weight. But that’s just my personal preference. It’s worth noting that a lot of punters seem to prefer the iPhone 6 Plus, and I can see why, too –– consumers have been waiting for a BIG iPhone for years. No wonder they’re now biting Apple’s hand off in the UK to get one.
iPhone 6 Plus Review: Design
Even Apple admits the iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6 are pretty much the same deal, save for the display size and addition of Optical Image Stabilisation on the Plus. They do look the same too, again, save for the Plus’ overall size and weight difference. A lot has already been said about the design of Apple’s new handsets, specifically, how thin the iPhone 6 Plus is (hello, bendgate) and the antenna bands that run around the back of both handsets.
Personally, I rather like the look of both handsets. They’re thin, almost too thin in the iPhone 6 Plus’ case, feel premium to the touch, and are very easy on the eye. They both still look like iPhones, though, so if you weren’t a fan of the iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s chances are you’re not going to a fan of these devices, either. But if you do like impossibly thin handsets that are massive then the iPhone 6 Plus is perhaps right up your street.

If you are thinking of upgrading your iPhone or you are Android fan who wants to explore iOS you are probably torn between the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the latest entrants in the iPhone range of smartphones.
The reality is that you can choose either of these two smartphones. They are considered two of the finest from Apple so far. With these two smartphones, Apple has demonstrated that you do not have to go out of your way to make significant changes to prove yourself.
Little has changed from the preceding iPhone but the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are already making an impact in the market. Here are some of the reasons why you should get either one.
Brand Name
Apple is a trusted brand name and you are assured of quality every time your purchase a product made by the company. Apple has managed to attract very loyal customers over the years with its products in spite of the tight competition in the smartphone market because it delivers what it promises.
Apple tends to appeal to the subconscious in a way that other smartphone brands have failed to do. Apple meets the needs that users were not even aware of. It is a simple brand that produces phones that every individual can figure out. With the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, you get a renowned brand name.
Better Function
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus both offer better function. These smartphones are quite fast and they offer consistently amazing performance whether you are playing games, browsing or taking pictures. Every feature on an iPhone gives you great performance. These iPhones also provide as much power as possible. You will realize that high-end three dimensional games run better on the latest iPhones compared to the iPhone 5s. When you upgrade your iPhone, the first thing you will notice is a change in your favorite apps.
The battery life has improved and they can both manage heavier use. The visuals on these smartphones are definitely better especially when compared to the iPhone 4s or older versions. They have a larger screen size, making them ideal for those who enjoy playing games.
Both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus come with the A8 processor, the latest from Apple. This processor is specifically designed for iPhones and it ensures consistent performance.
Hard to Compare with Other Phones
It is almost impossible to compared the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with other phones such as Samsung, HTC and Sony. This is because Apple uses a totally different approach when it comes to its design. All the components found in an iPhone work together to give you unparalleled performance. Apple ensures that each application on your smartphone functions as it is supposed to. On the other hand, smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S5 are designed to allow advanced multitasking and better flexibility. But this does not make it any faster than the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Any app you install on your iPhone will function properly several months later and this reliability is not available with Android smartphones.
For those who are in search of a trusted brand name that assures great performance every time, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are a good choice.
