Everything you need to know about the upcoming Android Marshmallow 6.0

Android 6.0 had three developer previews with the last on being on August!

Android M developer preview was first announced the Google I/O on May 28 2015. After 3 previews, the final version is expected to release in Q3, 2015. The predecessor was Android 5.0 Lollipop.

FINGERPRINT

A major improvement in this version is the native support for fingerprint scanning. Just like it's previous versions, it concentrates on improving over user experience. Finger print capability will enhance Android App payments and Android Pay experience. 

APP PERMISSIONS

Android Marshmallow introduces a redesigned application permission model: there are now only eight permission categories, and applications are no longer automatically granted all of their specified permissions at installation time. An opt-in system is now used, in which users are prompted to grant or deny individual permissions (such as the ability to access the camera or microphone) to an application when they are needed for the first time. 

DOZE: NEW POWER MANAGEMENT

When the device's motion sensors detect that there is no activity from the user, a new power management scheme called DOZE will automatically reduce the background application activity. According to Google, this might well go on to double your battery life, which if was reality, would result in a pretty impressive battery life for your device.

Apple's 3D touch: Explained!

Everyone's really excited about Apple's iPhone 6S. It has got lots to offer with many improvements in hardware. Apple has put into their new iPhones a new technology called 3D touch.
3D touch is nothing but a new technology in which the iPhone undertakes special functions on how hard you press your phone. If you press your phone harder, it brings a set of cool and easy options which make using your iPhone hassle free and simpler than before.
3D touch works inside and outside apps. If you are on your home screen and you pres an App icon harder than usual it opens up a bunch of options which are associated with the app and lets you do more without actually going in.
Many apps also support this inside their UI. Most of Apple's apps support this and third party apps are starting to exploit the cool new feature.
If you ask if this is a boon or misfortune, many users currently feel that 3D touch helps them and that they are enjoying it.

Why the iPad Pro might become a hit!



Apple announced the iPad Pro, a beastly tablet (12.9", Yes you read it right!) just recently and it will be out by November. It sports a High resolution 2732 x 2048 Retina Display. That's not all what the iPad Pro is about. Interestingly it is just half a pound heavier than it's predecessor and it doesn't compromise on the 'thickness' factor as well. Along with it came the Apple Pencil( Not an ordinary pencil, it sets you back by $99) which is a stylus accompanying the beast.

The iPad Pro wins over others in many ways. One is its beastly size which will be extremely useful to people who work using an iPad and also travel a lot. People who don't actually mind shelling out a few extra bucks (The iPad Pro starts at $799 and goes on till $1079) will surely welcome the iPad Pro. But if you ask if it can well replace a laptop, it would be a pretty no. Maybe because its internals will surely be a setback and real people who actually want a lot of storage space may not prefer it.  It is supported by the Apple's A A9X processor with the usual 64 bit architecture which Apple claims to be 2.5 times faster CPU than the A7 processor and will have 5 times faster Graphics is a key factor. All its other internal are just the same as the other iPads.
IF you look at the iPad Pro as a reading device, it will have its Pros and Cons.
Reading maybe enjoyable due to its screen size but since its big, one hand reading may not be possible. People who work as engineers or anyone who wants to design may exploit Apple's awesome apps and iPad Pro offers an awesome display for that. Maybe on the next iPad Pro, Apple may concentrate on increase its technical specs to increase its productivity further. On the whole the huge display of the iPad Pro will surely make an impact. The iPad Pro also has an impact on other tablets with prices being slashed down. Thanks for reading and Keep reading because readers are winners.
