iPhone 6S: What we know so far…

Abe Olandres Leave a comment

This year, we’re already expecting Apple to announce the iPhone 6S and perhaps the iPhone 6S Plus later this year. We collated all the speculations recently reported to paint a better picture of Apple’s upcoming iPhone.

1) The iPhone 6S will more or less be using the same design and measurements as the old iPhone 6. 9to5mac.com has some photos of what could be the insides of the iPhone 6S.

This means most cases and accessories of the iPhone 6 will probably be compatible with the iPhone 6S. This was true with the iPhone 5 and the 5S so we don’t suspect the trend to change.

2) Apple will likely introduce their new A( processor and then increase the amount of RAM to 2GB.

3) As Apple has introduced Force Touch in the Macbook and Macbook Pro, there is a high likelihood that Apple will also implement a similar execution of the Force Touch on the iPhone 6S.

4) a 12-megapixel rear camera that can do 4K video recording. The current iPhone 6 Plus can already do 240fps at 720p so that should be inherited by the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.

5) Storage options will still be in the 16GB, 64GB and 128GB variants.

6) Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus sometime in September so hold off any new purchase of the current iPhone. MicGadget places the exact date on September 18.

Popular tipster @evleaks has released some fresh news for the supposed Android-powered BlackBerry device that made some buzz on the Internet last month. The device will reportedly be called Venice and could feature a physical QWERTY keyboard that slides out — pretty much like what was previously reported.

Viber to launch mobile payments in the Philippines

Abe Olandres Leave a comment

We just received a tip that Viber is secretly working on a mobile payments system to be released in the Philippines in a couple of weeks.

We’re not yet sure what will they call it but our bet is on Viber Pay. The payment system will allow Viber users to send virtual money to each other and perhaps also pay for services and online shopping.

It’s also possible Viber is targeting the over 12 million Filipinos abroad that sends over $25 billion in annual remittances. Since majority of the active Viber users are ones abroad communicating with relatives in the Philippines, they have a captured market.

Globe GCash is said to be the platform that will power Viber Pay.

Being the biggest online messaging app in the Philippines (Viber has 35% share followed by WeChat at 30% and Line at 20%, story here), Viber is poised to make a significant push in mobile commerce in the country.

Facebook is also working on way for users to send money via FB Messenger.

We will definitely confirm this once they make the public announcement this July.
