Apple is developing a new smartphone iPhone 7 and the web already appeared the first leaks of the production chain of the company. As the French resource Nowherelse, this time outside the walls of Cupertino leaked schematic drawings of the new device.

Judging by the "spy" photos CAD-model, the iPhone 7 display with a diagonal of 4.7 inches to be installed. By design, the smartphone will look like iPhone 6 / 6s. The device will receive an all-metal chassis with rounded lateral edges, but without inserts for antennas. Apparently, Apple will adopt some other way to organize trouble-free transmission of radio signals. According to one version, it is a plastic inserts at the ends of the housing. This will mean that the company is unable to offer a solution for the complete rejection of them.

The network has 7 iPhone back cover image

And this cover is no plastic inserts under the antenna, which, according to many, spoils the view of iPhone 6 / 6s.

7 iPhone back cover images Share Nowhereelse resource. This is not a picture detail, namely the technical image - in addition, it is unclear whether they are related to the final version of the smartphone, or one of the prototypes.

Why 4-inch iPhone SE important for Apple


Best iPhone ever
Every year, Apple unveil a new iPhone, and every year she calls him the best in history. The new processor, graphics, improved camera and the software do its job. But in recent years the pace at which new features and opportunities reduced. Apple in any way successfully manage to find new ways to make smartphones more attractive to buyers, but compared with earlier models of the latest innovations in the flagship not so revolutionary.
Special version
iPhone «Special Edition» will be presented in the spring, which does not coincide with an established schedule for production of the new Apple smartphone. It is expected that the phone will be equipped with all the latest generation of iPhone technology, but his body would be more dimensional than the current champions. Most likely, the device will not support 3D Touch gestures, and definitely will not get the SE iPhone "chips" fall flagship iPhone 7.
But the audience for which Apple released this model, it does not matter. Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives, so the gadgets have to adapt to it. Many people want to have a compact iPhone, which is convenient to use with one hand, especially when it comes to operations with the interface "on the fly".
What prevents Apple to listen to the customer's wishes? The model number of iPad for as much as three form factors with screen sizes varying from 7.9 to 12.9 inches. I wonder why Apple decided not to release immediately three models of the iPhone at the same time, so that users can more easily choose a convenient form factor.
Ecosystem iPhone
The new 4-inch iPhone is really important for Apple. The company realized that one size does not fit all smartphones and all. Let iPhone SE sales figures do not blow up the market, but they just make you feel more confident throughout the line-up as a whole, including future models. Another high-class model will contribute to the formation of a full-fledged iPhone ecosystem.
If you look back into the past, we can remember that this is already happening with your Mac. After the release of the original Macintosh in 1984, the company has continued to develop this concept. She produced a new form factors, is the product of one computer is not turned into a single ecosystem.

Normal reboot

Hard reboot

If the previous method does not help, perform a hard reset. To do this, hold both the Home and Power button until the device restarts, and the Apple logo appears on the screen. If the problem persists, proceed to the next step.

volume keys

In some cases, it helps the following method:

Press and hold the Home and Power buttons until the device is not turned off.
When you see the Apple logo appears, try to press the volume button.
Repeat the first and second step as long as the device will not boot normally. Usually enough 4-5 attempts.
Wait a few hours

In some cases, the iPhone and iPad do complete downloading a few hours later. It is enough to leave the gadget with the "eternal" apple and wait.

If all else fails

If you have tried all the methods and nothing works mentioned above have to do a clean install on iTunes. Unfortunately, this means that you will not be able to stay on iOS 9.1, since Apple no longer provides digital signatures. The only option for recovery - iOS 9.2.1 or iOS 9.3.

Top-manager of Apple: close applications in the multitasking panel meaningless, it does not increase the autonomy of the iPhone


There is the myth of multitasking in iOS, which has long been exaggerated among iPhone and iPad owners. Ostensibly application in iOS multitasking bar all the time active and slow down, clog memory and consume a charge battery unit. "Experts" are advised to improve performance and increase the battery life of devices manually delete these same applications. The main developer of iOS Craig Federighi has denied such claims.

9to5Mac reader named Caleb interested in this aspect of iOS, and he decided to ask him directly to Apple. And the question he sent not to someone, and led the company to Tim Cook.

"Hello Tim.

How often do you close the application in iOS multitasking bar, and whether it should be done to save battery power? Just I want you to stop this debate! ".

Apple Guide is not often corresponds with the ordinary users, "apple" gadgets. However, it happens and such responses can be considered as an official position of the company. On the question of the reader said Apple's senior vice president of software Craig Federighi.

"Hi, Caleb.

I know that you asked Tim, but I can throw in my two cents worth.

No, and no again, "- said Federighi.

I must say that the iPhone and iPad multitasking bar does not contain a list of active applications, but only a list of recently run programs. OS intelligently manages tasks independently unloading or "pause" active processes.

When the user presses the Home button, the program switches to active background mode. Most of the tasks in a few seconds, then go into a suspended state. The first technical nuance is that the suspension of the application remains in memory. This is done so that it can continue to work faster, if a user decides to go back to it. Thus it does not use the CPU and a battery.

The news is very interesting, because Apple TV «hacked» will give users much more flexibility than the standard version.
