iPhone 7: Next Apple phone could feature Smart Connector from the iPad Pro, leak suggests
The iPhone 7 could feature the Smart Connector that debuted with the iPad Pro, and will probably take other features from its larger sibling, according to a new report from Japan.The Smart Connector allows for the easy connection of accessories like keyboards, and can transfer both data and power, meaning that accessories don’t need their own batteries. It uses contacts rather than a plug, meaning that accessories can be added or taken away more quickly.
- At the moment, Apple has only used the smart connector for the Smart Keyboard, a light keyboard that also serves as a case. But it appears that it can also be used for other accessories – which might also be used on the iPhone.
- It has been suggested that Apple might have people plug their headphones into the Lightning port on the bottom of the phone, for instance. If that was the case, then the phone might be able to charge through the smart connector so both can be used at the same time.
- The smaller iPad Pro that was launched this week, for instance, comes with a screen with increased colours and a brighter backlight, all of which might be brought to the iPhone 7 too. And the new tablet is also the first to offer Apple’s “True Tone” display, which matches the colour of the screen to that in the world around it, which will also be expected to come to the phones at some point.
This is good as many people like the ipads and prefer to have it and like to have other gadgets involved with what they have. This means that it would be differnt for people to use if they have.
Snapchat update: App adds ability to have emoji follow people around inside the app
The chat app has added a new feature that can automatically track movement around videos, and have an emoji follow that same movement. It means that someone can stick an emoji on top of their face and then walk around, for instance.
- Previously, the app allowed people to add an emoji as a sticker – covering their face, for instance. But it would stay in the same place, until now.
- The emoji must be added as a sticker, rather than through a text box. But they’ll then follow whatever they’re placed over, rotating and shrinking as well as moving to make sure that they look like they’re really inside the video.
- Snapchat’s update follows a huge redesign last month, that looked to see the app focus on becoming more of a traditional chat app as well as way of sharing photos and videos. The update added stickers, like Facebook Messenger, and made it easier to have video and audio calls.
