Apple Patent Scales Content According To Face Distance

Published

on

Apple and patents go hand-in-hand, especially when you consider how the company intends to have a monopoly on design in their recent court tussle with Samsung. Having said that, it seems that Apple has a rather interesting take on viewing items on your smartphone or tablet. Apple has hopes that the day will come where the technology is there to scale content on your tablet or smartphone automatically, depending on how near or far your face is from the device’s display. This can be achieved using the camera (which would be a drain on your battery for sure), infrared technology or other sensors, ensuring that the device will always display whatever you are looking at at an optimal level.

This does away with the need for manual zoom, and assuming the front facing camera is used to scale the kind of images and text on your device, one can postulate that it is a snap to play a prank on this feature simply by holding up a picture of your face or some other person’s face, moving it back and forth from the camera and watch the self adjusting content sweat it out.

iPhone 6S Prepares For September 18th Release Date

Published

iphone6-diamond-ecstasy-goldIf you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries

With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.

iPad Air 3 Not Coming This Year According To Rumors

Published

on

apple-logo2It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.

Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.

Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
