This is great news for all iPhone 5 users. They would feel more enthusiastic if they don’t take the rumors on iPhone 6 because such rumors indicate iPhone 6 will be a better device than iPhone 5 and it will launch with 128Gb storage option.

Many details about the iPhone 6 have already been revealed — though none of them are confirmed — but there are even more things left to be discovered. As rumors revealed it, one can expect larger displays compared to previous iPhones.

Apple acknowledged high consumer demand for phones with larger displays. iPhone 6 will be released in two variants, one with the 4.7-inch size, whereas the counterpart has its 5.5-inch size. The new iPhone is anticipated to be a larger handset compared to iPhone predecessors. In general, its dimensions are projected to be 130 x 65 x 7mm.
The iPhone 6 may include 128GB storage capacity, durable sapphire display, a thinner chassis, LED backlighting technology, battery with a capacity of 2915 mAh and 5.5 inches screen size, the best among all iPhone devices.
iPhone 6 will be powered by Apple A8 processor ( Clock Speed of 2 GHz ) and it may come with an inbuilt storage memory 128 GB. The new iPhone will reportedly feature VoLTE, or Voice over LTE technology.

Rumours have been fluctuating wildly about the camera, going from a 13-megapixel sensor to resolution itself remaining unchanged. A 13 megapixel Sony Exmor IMX220 camera will feature in iPhone 6.

The iPhone 6 might sport an in-built app supported barometer. The air pressure sensors will not only measure atmospheric pressure but also work with the new health book app on the iOS 8.

‘Ebola reached Karnataka unfortunately!! Infected poor Sreejith-M.Tech, NIT suratkal, expired today. Please take precautions against this Virus and spread the awareness!! Friends plz eat tulsi leaves to safeguard yourself from this virus ebola becz this virus directly effects the human immune system. Tulsi leaves are good for the human immune system so this is a precaution to save u from the ebola virus… Ebola virus Spreaded in mumbai toooo Use hot water and salt to take your bath in the morning, do the same when you want to drink water(hot and salt) . … It is said to be a traditional vaccine for Ebola. Please don’t keep this information to yourself send to all your contacts including your enemies. God bless you as you share this.’

This message has been doing the rounds on Whatsapp and other social media sites, and is about how a young boy died due to an infection caused by the Ebola virus.
Sreejith, an M.tech student of the NIT, Karnataka died last month, and he had been diagnosed with a lung infection.
But someone with no sense of humour, decided to play a prank.
People are recklessly forwarding a message regarding an M.Tech student of NIT, Suratkal, dying of the disease. 
This caused a scare that the deadly disease had entered Karnataka. NITK was flooded with phone calls from health officials, media and the general public.
With the college getting inundated with calls about ebola, students and teachers have taken to social media to spread the message that there is no cause of panic.
Now police are trying to locate the original source of the message.

Sreejith didn’t die of Ebola:

Firstly, Sreejith, the MTech student who died in Surathkal did not suffer from an infection caused due to the Ebola virus.

Tulsi won’t help against Ebola: 

Tulsi  leaves will not help in keeping this virus. Although the leaves do have an immune-boosting property, but in no way will that help.

Ebola has not spread to Mumbai:

Ebola has not spread to Mumbai. There has been no official news of the virus infecting anyone in the city.

We all know the iPhone has a dedicated following by Apple fans across the world, but Android has its fair share of fanboys too. In fact, the Android market is showing huge gains all over the world. Although the iPhone seems to be doing well in the U.S., Android devices make up almost 70% of the global market share, compared to iOS’ 19%.

I know there will be some people reading the title and saying “iPhone is a smartphone and Android is an operating system”, but the fact that you can compare iPhone 5S (latest and the most expensive iPhone) to Android (just about any Android phone) already means that iPhone is going to have a big disadvantage in this dogfight.

In terms of specs, performance, and features, iPhone 5S is Apple’s best to date. This doesn’t mean it’s as good as it could be, however. There are a few egregious omissions here — features that we not only want in our iPhone, but that we feel are overdue.

1. Play Store vs AppStore:

iPhone users used to be like we have this many apps and you don’t, but right now both of the stores have around 1 million apps and games. Android offers many of the paid iOS apps for free. But that’s not my point here. When you’re purchasing an App on Android, you have a 15-minute window to see the app, test it out and see if it does what the description says it can. If you like it, bingo! If not, refund your money. AppStore doesn’t have that. The only way to refund your money from Apple’s store would be to physically contact support. That’s a lot of hassle already right there.

2. Face Unlock on Android:

Android has both fingerprint reader and face unlock options whereas iPhone 5S doesn’t have the first. Simple as that. I don’t know why Apple doesn’t get it, but in my personal opinion, Face Unlock is a lot safer. Why? Who knows what entities have access to your fingerprints?

3. Keyboards:

Yes, keyboardS as in plural. I can install any keyboard on my Android which is better than being stuck with the only option iPhone (iOS) offers. It is already proven that swype keyboards are a lot faster and easier to use than the iPhone’s let alone some paid input apps that really rock!

4. NFC for mobile payments:

Instead of building NFC into the iPhone, Apple would rather have you use its Passbook system, which lets users store tickets, gift cards, boarding passes, and the like. It can handle some (but definitely not all) of the tasks that you might use NFC for. NFC also lets you beam content between devices just by tapping them together.

5. Replaceable battery:

The battery life on the iPhone is pretty “meh,” but for the power users who are glued to their phones all day, it won’t simply unacceptable.

We’d love to be able to carry an additional fully-charged iPhone battery that we could pop in whenever the first one bites the dust.

6. FM Radio:

I am from a country where Internet connection is still expensive and the network pretty much sucks. I can’t enjoy listening to music live from the Internet. FM Radio gives me an option to save data and my nerves while enjoying my music.

7. Bluetooth:

That is also one of the biggest problems with Apple. Not only that you can’t send anything to any phone via Bluetooth, you can’t even do that between the iPhone and the MacBook.

Is it even possible to have regrets in your 20s? After all, every failure is just another lesson to be learned, right? 

Turns out there are quite a few regrets you can have as a 20-something (although the list is much shorter than in your 30s). 

Redditors recently voiced things that they regret not doing in their 20s. Read their answers to make sure you won’t have any regrets in some of the best years of your life. 

1. Not getting fit 

Your 20-something metabolism can make you complacent with your health, but start working on being fit and healthy earlier, and you definitely won’t regret it. After all, exercising and a healthy diet can increase your happiness and make all your experiences better. 

For example, if you’re fit, you’ll be able to take on bucket list trips that require a lot of endurance and a certain fitness level, like climbing Machu Picchu. 

2. Not taking risks 

So you’re heading down the traditional path to play it safe. Think of your 20s as a time for new experiences and don’t let your fears hold you back. You’re only young once! 

3. Rushing to be a grown-up 

You’re eager to get started on life, but take the time to really enjoy the experience of being in your 20s. You have the rest of your life to act like a grown-up. Don’t feel obligated to follow a certain timeline. 

“You don’t have to rush out and get a full-time career job at 21. You don’t have to shack up and marry the first person you meet at 24. You don’t have to buy a house or car and have babies by 27,” says Reddit user shewhogoesthere. “A lot of people I know who were in a hurry all through their 20s are now ending their 20s and feeling a bit depressed because they quickly extinguished their youth and hit all the goal posts and now they’re like, ‘What now?’ You can’t go back, you can’t be young again, why throw it away so quickly?”

4. Not starting a retirement fund 

Every personal finance expert recommends starting putting money towards your retirement fund as early as possible. This is because the earlier you make your contributions, the greater the rewards with the magic of compounding. This means the more money you put in earlier, the faster it grows. 

5. Wasting time on people who don’t deserve your time 

Yup, the old toxic friend syndrome. It seems like we have this regret in every decade of our life. But in your 20s, friends seem to take up more time and effort than other decades just because many of us are still looking for our significant others and haven’t had kids yet. Make sure that the time you spend on your friends is well spent and that you’re cultivating friendships that will last a lifetime. 

6. Not studying or moving abroad 

You usually have fewer obligations in your 20s, so it’s a good time to pack up and actually live overseas for a while. It’s a completely different experience from travelling, and it’s worth doing if you can make it work. You’ll be out of your comfort zone culturally and in every other way possible, which is a tremendous learning experience that will open up your perspectives and world view.

7. Staying in bad relationships 

This goes hand in hand with friends you shouldn’t waste time on. Your 20s will pass by in a flash, so make sure you’re spending it with the right people! Bad relationships — be they romantic or platonic — can really do a number on your self esteem, so don’t let them drag you down.
