iPhone 7 Plus Video Is Leaked But People Are Upset Because Of This....

Yes, you read it right. Apple is gonna release its Next iPhone in September, but we already have the video. Yeah, it is blue in color.
This YouTube channel UnBox Therapy got the hands on the brand new iPhone 7 Plus and shared a hands-on video comparing it with the iPhone 6 Plus.

–– ADVERTISEMENT ––

It is also confirmed that iPhone 7 will indeed not have a standard 3.5 mm jack. Sorry guys, that's a turn-off. Still, there are a lot of new things are included in this phone which you will know in the video at the end of the story.

Here's the piece of art.


Does it look slimmer than iPhone 6? Not to me.



But blue color looks cool, right?

It's of same length as of iPhone 6 Plus.


They have removed the white lines too.


With this angle, it looks little slimmer than the iPhone 6 Plus.

iPhone 6 Explodes In A Man's Pocket, Leaves Him With Third-Degree Burns!

I'm not an iPhone fan and within next 3 minutes, I know you will join my club of iPhone haters too.
This guy, Gareth Clear decided to go on cycling with his brand new iPhone in his back pocket on a bright sunny day without knowing what's gonna happen next will land him in a hospital. Suddenly he missed a pedal while cycling and lost his balance off the cycle which resulted in an explosion of iPhone in his back pocket, melting away his biking shorts and causing him third-degree burns.
He posted the images of his burns on Twitter to aware people about the potential danger of using such devices.
Read ahead to know more about this unfortunate incident.

He said, "I just saw smoke coming out of my back pocket… and then all of a sudden I felt this surging pain."


"The phone was stuck to my leg having melted through both my shorts and my Skins."



He even saw the "black discharge" all down his leg and there was a "smell of phosphorus."



"The more pervasive these are in our lives and the more people use them with a lack of apprehension that something might go wrong, the more that these things will happen," he said.




This might have happened because of the lithium batteries used in iPhones are prone to the explosion on overheating.


According to Herald, Apple Australia is in direct contact with him now.

Surprising Facts About Steve Jobs

We all know who Steve Jobs is--he's the genius who revolutionized modern technology and the mastermind who emphasized style as much as function in our everyday digital devices.
However, I can bet there are a few facts about Steve Jobs you don't know that would shock you. Learn about the real Steve Jobs with these 43 facts.
  1. Steve Jobs was adopted shortly after being born.
  2. Jobs was, biologically, half Arab. His biological father was Syrian and his mother was American.
  3. Jobs's biological parents had one mandate--that Jobs be adopted by two college-educated people. The biological parents found out that neither Clara nor Paul Jobs had ever graduated from college, but the adoption went through when it was promised that Steve Jobs would receive a university education (funny considering that Jobs went on to become a college dropout).
  4. Jobs and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak met in high school--Wozniak was 18 and Jobs was just 13.
  5. Jobs was a pescetarian, meaning he ate no meat except for fish.
  6. He was an official college dropout, but continued his education by informally auditing classes.
  7. One class Jobs audited was a calligraphy course, which he says was instrumental in the future Apple products' attention to typography and font.
  8. While unofficially attending classes, Jobs struggled to get by. He slept on his friends' dorm room floors, returned Coke bottles for money, and survived off free meals from the local Hare Krishna temple.
  9. He had a pretty low GPA--just 2.65. Jobs admitted he never enjoyed school structure and preferred to learn in unconventional ways.
  10. He spent seven months traveling around India, experimenting with psychedelic drugs and eventually adopting the practices of Zen Buddhism.
  11. Jobs has called experimenting with LSD as "one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life."
  12. Jobs stole from partner and co-founder of Apple Steve Wozniak. When the pair first created the Breakout game for Atari, they planned on splitting the pay 50-50. Although Atari gave Jobs $5,000 for the game, Jobs told Wozniak they got $700, leaving Wozniak to take home $350 while Jobs pocketed the other $4,650.
  13. Jobs was moved to the night shift when working at Atari due to complaints about his hygiene. He rarely showered and would walk around barefoot in the Atari offices.
  14. There was actually a third founder of Apple--Ronald Wayne, who even designed Apple's first logo. Wayne sold his 10 percent stake just two weeks after partnering with Jobs and Wozniak for only $800 (talk about regrets).
  15. The original Apple I computer was priced at $666.66. Don't worry, there was no devil worshipping going on--Jobs and Wozniak just wanted the Apple I to cost one-third more than wholesale ($500).
  16. Jobs was pushed out of his own company in 1985. Despite the fallout, he later recognized the coup as a blessing in disguise, as it gave him a chance to experiment creatively and purchase an animation studio, which would later be known as Pixar. Eventually he rejoined Apple as CEO in 1997 (and revitalized the failing company).
  17. Shortly after being shooed out of Apple, Jobs applied to fly on the Space Shuttle as a civilian astronaut (he was rejected) and even considered starting a computer company in the Soviet Union.
  18. Jobs had an illegitimate child, Lisa Brennan, when he was 23, whose paternity he denied for years. Lisa's mother had to use welfare checks to raise her child. Eventually, Jobs did accept Lisa as his legitimate child, and she changed her name to Lisa Brennan-Jobs.
  19. Despite initially denying paternity, around the time Lisa was born, Jobs named a new Apple computer the Apple Lisa (although Jobs claimed it simply stood for Local Integrated Software Architecture).
  20. While at Apple, Jobs always kept his annual salary at $1. Don't worry, with 5.5 million shares of Apple stock and as the majority shareholder of Disney stock (from selling Pixar), he wasn't quite what you'd call a starving artist.
  21. Jobs ended up connecting later in life with his biological sister, Mona Simpson, whom he grew very close with. Both were naturally artistic and shared much in common.
  22. The movie Anywhere But Here is based on a book written by Jobs's sister, Mona Simpson. The movie is dedicated to Jobs.
  23. Jobs was no philanthropist. In fact, in Apple's early days, he cut the company's philanthropic programs, saying they would return when the company was more profitable. Despite Apple's enormous success, the charitable programs were never reinstated.
  24. Jobs had an entire team devoted to packaging who studied the experience of opening a box to learn how to achieve the excitement and emotional response that is now common with Apple products.
  25. A well-known egomaniac, Jobs was infamous for being difficult and demanding. In 1993, he held a spot on Fortune's list of America's Toughest Bosses.
  26. Jobs was not always friendly with journalists and the media, wanting to retain total control of Apple's impression on the public. Apple even sued teenager Nicholas Ciarelli for his Think Secret blog, where he revealed rumors and secret details about upcoming Apple products.
  27. Jobs is listed as either primary inventor or co-inventor for 346 United States patents related to a range of technologies, with most of the patents being for design.
  28. Jobs had romantic relationships with Joan Baez and Diane Keaton.
  29. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak notes that Jobs never learned how to code.
  30. Bill Clinton once invited Jobs to spend the night sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom of the White House.
  31. Apple has been ranked No. 1 on Fortune's list of America's most admired companies.
  32. Jobs harbored an intense dislike for PCs, and is quoted as saying to one friend, "I'd rather sell dog shit than PCs."
  33. He never put license plates on his silver Mercedes (despite driving it constantly). How did he do it? California has a rule that a car owner has six months to put plates on a new car. Jobs just changed cars (to the identical model) every six months, allowing him to drive without plates.
  34. Jobs often parked in spots reserved for the handicapped.
  35. Jobs originally did not want to offer his products in white, but he was swayed after being introduced to the "moon gray" shade. Pretty surprising considering the iconic clean, white look of Apple products today.
  36. Jobs actually served as a mentor for Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, even sharing some of his advisers with the Google duo.
  37. Jobs was furious when Google created its Android devices, entering as an Apple competitor in the phone market.
  38. Jobs was found to have pancreatic cancer in 2003, but rather than taking the doctor-recommended path of immediate operation, Jobs subscribed to an alternative-medicine regimen, including a vegan diet, acupuncture, and herbal remedies, even consulting a psychic.
  39. After nine months, Jobs gave in and underwent surgery. Many consider the delay a major factor in his eventual decline.
  40. Apple, Microsoft, and Disney properties (including Disneyland and Disney World) flew their flags at half-staff when Jobs died.
  41. His last words on his deathbed were, "Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow," while gazing over his family's shoulders.
  42. Tim Cook revealed in a 2014 interview that Jobs's main office and nameplate are still as they were in 2011, when Jobs passed away.
  43. Sunday, October 16, 2011, was declared Steve Jobs Day by the governor of California, Jerry Brown

USB OTG

USB OTG: What is it and what can I do with it?
UPDATE: New tips for USB OTG added

Sometimes the most useful things have the dullest names, and that's definitely the case with USB OTG: it's in stacks of devices and can do some really clever stuff, but many people have never heard of it. To help bring you up to speed, this is our guide to USB OTG and what you can do with it.

What is USB OTG?

USB OTG (USB On The Go) is a standard that enables mobile devices to talk to one another. Traditionally mobile devices could only connect to a Mac/PC by USB, but USB OTG makes it possible for devices to connect directly to each other.

And that's not all USB OTG can do. By enabling your device to act as a USB host – that is, to be the boss of other devices that you connect to it – you can use additional hardware such as storage, keyboards or even musical instruments together with your handset.

How do I know if my Android device supports USB OTG?



USB OTG has its own logo (seen above), which should be on your device's packaging if it's supported. If you don't have the original packaging to hand, you can use your old friend Google to find this information.

That said, if your smartphone was released within the last two years, you can almost guarantee it will support it.

How can you use OTG on your smartphone or tablet?
What can I do with USB OTG?
Connect a mouse or keyboard

This is one of the most typical ways to use USB OTG. It's possible to couple your smartphone or tablet with peripheral devices, such as a mouse or a keyboard, which you can then use to control it. There are some restrictions – for example, gaming mice with a billion buttons might not be fully compatible – but for the most part, the basic operations are enabled.

Just plug in a USB mouse and you will automatically see its cursor appear on your display. This is also a great way to use your device if the touchscreen is broken. Alternatively, connect an external keyboard to turn a tablet into a laptop.

Connect a MIDI keyboard
If you fancy making music on Android, USB OTG enables you to connect devices such as MIDI keyboards and controllers, audio inputs for instruments and vocals and various controllers that can turn your phone or tablet into a serious music-making machine.

Connect a USB storage drive

You can connect to storage devices such as USB sticks or external hard drives with USB OTG. Using a file manager on your device, you can directly access data on an external storage device and play movies or music without having to store them on your phone. Alternatively, you can use it as a non-cloud based backup storage option for your photos, music, and other files from your smartphone.

Connect a game controller
Enjoy mobile gaming but yearn for a bit more control? Why not connect a gamepad to your smartphone? Using a wired Xbox 360 controller is an easy way to do this: just connect it to your phone with a USB OTG cable, launch a game and it should work right away, no configuration required.
