how-to-crack-the-apple-iphone-5s-touch-id-sensor-step-by-step

To all those Apple fans who ran to the Apple store to buy the iPhone 5S. It is funny that the new top notch security finger print scanner included with the iPhone 5S which was most hyped by all the iPhone 5S fans was cracked less than 48 hours of the iPhone 5S hitting the shelves. The new iPhone 5S tocuh ID Sensor is not as secure as Apple would like you to believe, and should not be used instead of the numbering locking mechanism. Just ignore the Apple misleading statement of this feature making your iPhone more secure as it is exactly the opposite.

 

As Announced all over the news for the past week, the new iPhone 5S touch ID was cracked in the less than 24 hours by a German Hacker which the video below show the full process he took to crack the iPhone 5S finger print in a step by step fashion. He further claimed, that such procedure can be completed within 30 minutes if he was better prepared. Enjoy the step by step video on how to crack the all new Apple iPhone 5S biometric.

Alright, while we are not a big fan of the Apple iPhone in here it is worth taking our advice on this front to avoid using the Apple iPhone 5S Touch ID Sensor as a method to secure your Phone/Data as it fall short and easier/faster to crack than the numerical locking(Traditional method of locking the iPhone) especially if you configure it to wipe your phone clean after a number of failing attempts.

 

We highly recommend against the usage of the iPhone 5S fingerprint sensor to secure an iPhone that contain any sensitive data including your corporate e-mail. Hope iPhone users will listen to our advice which is already going all over the news and protect their phones with a better mechanism than the newly hyped fingerprint sensor. Sorry if that torn up a feature that you paid hefty for, but securing your data should be of a higher priority I hope.

Introducing Apple iPhone 5S & iPhone 5C

We feel sorry for all the Apple hardcore fans that had to sleep for over two weeks in the front of the Apple store to get the new Apple iPhone 5S (S stand for the same) & iPhone 5C (C stand for Cheap). We are working on creating a cure for these poor fans, but without much success yet. It seems as a problem in the head which make it more difficult to cure.

Why would you wait for two weeks inline for a phone that is not much if any different from its more than readily available predecessor? Even better you could got a superior Android phone that iPhone IOS 7 is trying to mimic these days. Look at the below picture that is showing how much copying Apple is borrowing from Android in this release.

Samsung Galaxy S3 vs. iPhone 5

Both Samsung Galaxy S3 and Apple iPhone 5 smartphones are a few months old now, with each having their own followers. Some argue that Apple products only imply quality and that is demonstrated by the light-in-weight, attractive looking. There are also an equal number of Samsung Galaxy S3 fans who just love its customizable features, its long battery life and relatively affordable price.

 

Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 are both quite popular. However if the price factor is taken into account, then Samsung Galaxy S3 is a bit cheaper than Apple iPhone 5. This is one of the reasons, why its sales have soared in recent months. Both these smart phones are definitely one of the best buys now. You can make your pick between the two, depending on your liking, its features and your budget.

 

Look & FeelComparison for Samsung Galaxy S3 vs. Apple iPhone 5


If you are looking at both these smart phones objectively, then both phones are equally good in terms of their designing and built. Apple iPhone 5 is not much different from iPhone 4S in terms of its look. With aluminum casing, toughened glass at its top and bottom and less width (58.6mm). Apple iPhone 5 is also thinner and sleeker than its predecessor,which is a good improvement. The only major addition in the designing of iPhone5 is the new connector – Lightning port which has caused a lot of complains as many of the users iPhone 4/4S accessories are becoming irrelevant.

 

 

Unlike iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3 has a plastic feel to it. However the plastic look is actually deceptive, as it is manufactured from superior quality materials including durable polycarbonate. With its exclusive Corning Gorilla Glass II on its front side, this smartphone is stunning and nearly indestructible. Samsung GalaxyS3 is however slightly wider than the more compact iPhone 5 with 70.6mm and a bit heavier (133 grams) than iPhone 5 (112 grams). Though there is a slight difference in weight, it is actually insignificant, as both these light-weight smart phones can be easily carried in your pocket.

 

The one point where Samsung Galaxy S3 has a slight edge over iPhone 5 is its availability in different colors. Samsung Galaxy S3 is available in 6 different colors, as opposed to the only two finishes of black and white that iPhone 5 offers.

 

Comparing Hardware for Samsung Galaxy S3 vs. Apple iPhone 5


Samsung Galaxy S3 uses quad core processor, which is definitely better than the dual processor Apple A6 adopted by Apple iPhone 5. In terms of battery life, Samsung Galaxy S3 will through iPhone 5 out of balance. The camera of both these smart phones is first-rate. Samsung Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 offer 8 mega pixel cameras at their rear end. While the Panorama mode of iPhone 5 is intuitive and superb, the Smart Stay feature of Samsung Galaxy S3 is brilliant. However the Siri voice help in iPhone 5 is slightly less perfect than the S voice of Samsung in HD mode.

 

 

Interms of connectivity, iPhone 5 uses its proprietary lightning port for connectivity and only offers 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi connections. Samsung Galaxy S3 on the other hand offers several connection choices with 3G, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct,4G, LTE and NFC connectivity.

 

Though both these smartphones offer application stores, settings menu, application lists, etc., there are considerable differences in iOS of iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 Android operating system. On the one hand, where iOS has a more locked propriety OS, Android Openness offers a number of features. In fact Samsung Galaxy S3 is packed with so many features, including an in-built task manager that your applications run smoothly in the background, without needing to open them again and again. With special features likes like microSD, 2 GB of RAM and NFC included, Samsung Galaxy S3 is definitely more worthy than iPhone 5 in this department.

 

Comparing Software for Samsung Galaxy S3 vs. Apple iPhone 5


Interms of software, Apple iPhone 5 has not made any note worthy improvement than its predecessor. The only thing you can do is move your icons in the desired area and change your ringtones, home screen and backgrounds. Compared to iPhone5, Samsung Galaxy S3 has superior software. With 7 home screens, application icons, customizable widgets (you can also download them) and ringtones and flexibility to change or add animated backgrounds, these are a number of features that the Android offers.

 

The maps are another department that Apple iPhone 5 needs to improve on. Apple has tried to replace Google Maps with Apple Maps in iPhone 5. However this is turning out to be a disaster. With Samsung Galaxy S3 accessing Google docs, calendar,YouTube, Google Maps, Google search and other features of Google are not at all a problem.

 

 

Downloading games, videos and music is not at all a problem with both these smartphones. On the one hand where Apple play God in controlling what applications can be uploaded to their APP Store & installed on their devices, Samsung Galaxy S3 has a massive Android application store while being less restrictive on which applications can be added & what you can installed on your device. This is one point where the Samsung Galaxy S3 is a clear winner.

HTC Raider vs Apple iPhone 4S

HTC Raider vs. Apple iPhone 4S

While the iPhone has dominated the smartphone market for quite some time, the last few years have seen a major surge in the competition. There are some outstanding Android devices on the market these days that are giving the iPhone a run for its money – not only in pricing, but in appearance, quality, and overall performance.Today we’re putting the now older HTC Raider head-to-head with the Apple iPhone 4S to see which one comes out on top. The reason; The new HTC products are about to hit the market very soon, as we look at the older HTC Raider, we can see how impressive it is against the newer Apple iPhone 4s. The New HTC’s should be dynamic!

HTC Raider vs Apple iPhone 4S

Look & Feel

Overall, the iPhone 4S is lighter and more compact than previous models (at only 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm), so it is slightly smaller than the HTC Raider (at 128 x 67 x 11.2 mm). This is largely due to the Raider’s stunning 4.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, which definitely outshines the iPhone 4S’s 3.5 inches. The slightly larger size of the Raider does mean that it’s a little heavier, however, weighing in at 177g compared to the iPhone’s 137g.Both phones have a 3.5mm headphone jack conveniently placed at the top, and the volume control on the right side. The Raider’s microUSB port is located on the left side of the phone, and conveniently doubles as an HDMI out (with the right converter).The screen on the HTC Raider is quite good, providing a sharp image at 540×960 pixels. While it can’t quite boast the “pixel-free” density we see on the iPhone 4S, the SuperLCD screen of the Raider displays accurate colors, a bright image, and wide viewing angles.

Hardware

The HTC Raider comes with the dual-core, 1.2GHz APQ8060 Snapdragon processor. While the Apple iPhone 4S tends to run a bit faster with its 1 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and Apple A5 chipset, the Raider keeps up pretty well. The Raider performs quite well overall and doesn’t lack in responsiveness, and the dual-core processor in both of these phones means that they can juggle multiple apps without compromising performance.While the Raider runs marginally slower than the iPhone 4S, it performed brilliantly in the areas of social networking, web browsing, email, and even game play. In fact, the difference between the two phones in this area is nearly imperceptible, which makes it a great choice and much lower price.The Apple iPhone 4S runs on a (non-removable) Li-Po 1432 mAH battery, whereas the HTC Raider uses a standard Li-Ion 1620 mAH battery. The drawback of the iPhone here is that the battery can only be replaced by Apple, meaning that you are without a phone while the new one is installed (at a hefty price markup). The Raider’s battery is easily replaced and is comparatively inexpensive, allowing you to even carry a spare if you’ll need the extra power. And of course, one of the major benefits of the Raider’s lighter processor is the extended battery life.

HTC raider versus apple iphone 4s

Software

The HTC Raider runs on Android 2.3.4, with the Sense UI (HTC’s Android skin), which provides an overall attractive and stable performance. Of course, the Android app market has grown considerably over the last year and offers a huge assortment of games, music, movie application, maybe not quite as many as Apple’s. One of the things I have always loved about the Android software is their important communication apps like Maps, Texting, and Email. They work beautifully right out of the box and the Sense UI provides a consistently pleasant experience.The iPhone 4S runs on iOS5, and is one of Apple’s less dramatic updates, and if you ask even an Apple iPhone lover, this last update was a disappointment to them. The major additions are the Siri app and iCloud features. While these have been touted as fantastic additions, some users have been frustrated with trying to get these functions to work. Many Siri features simply aren’t functioning yet, and the iCloud is still glitchy at best. This is something that will need to be worked on. The HTC Raider running 2.3.4 has software in the Android Market that does exactly what the iCloud and Siri apps do. The Android Speaktoit application found in the Android Market is a free application, after having tested this application myself, find it to be better than the Siri app. The google docs that come free with your gmail email application have the majority of the iCloud features covered as well, and have been in use now for over 2 years and work very well with the phone service.

HTC Raider vs Apple iPhone 4s

Summary

In my opinion, the slightly older HTC Raider holds up surprisingly well against the newer Apple iPhone 4S. For the average user, the differences are practically negligible as the Raider provides a stellar performance overall, with Applications that are as good or better than the new apps for the iphone 4s.HTC has also recently announced there will be an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade soon, this is something to be extremely happy about!The HTC Raider is available at most cellular providers in North America

Cost

Rogers: $49.99 – 3 year contract, $474.99 – 2 year contract, $524.99 – No Term

Is Apple as pure, Trendy, & perfectionist as they would like you to believe?

While many of Apple fans look at Apple being so trendy and perfectionist they have over looked at how their iPhone, Tablets, & Mac Laptops are manufactured. Did you think of the below? or at least make us a favor and just watch the video at the end of this post.

apple-as-pure-trendy-perfectionist-as-they-would-like-you-to-believe
– Your Device was built by a slave who is considered less than dirt to that Trendy Company
– The guy who assembled your device has probably commit suicide due to how bad he is treated
– Your phone is costing just a penny, where you paid tons of money for it.
– Apple does not include the latest technology in your generation of the phone on purpose to make sure it missing something that will force you to buy the new generation in few months. Where does the old one go? Will these flood our world with trash of Lithium batteries.
– Did you know that Apple create no spare parts for many items in your devices? How about Apple not having any way to replace the touch screen of an iPhone which is the most fragile part of any iPhone. If your iPhone screen get damaged then your iPhone must be replaced and there is no repair is possible by the Apple store as they don’t have a replacement part for it putting more trash on the street. If you are shocked go ahead and ask your Apple store acting as you have broken your iPhone screen and hear what they tell you. I have a friend who had his iPhone 4S screen broken & they just had to replace his phone as they have no spare parts for the screen! Watch the video at the end of this post to see how fragile is the iPhone screen compared to other devices https://androidapps4u.com/news/tehnology/reviews/apple-iphone-4s-vs-samsung-galaxy-s2-lte/

– Did you know there is a much better cheaper alternatives to this devilish devices? Look at Android Devices & compare! Look how other Android devices compare to iPhone at: https://androidapps4u.com/news/tehnology/reviews/apple-iphone-4s-vs-samsung-galaxy-s2-lte/

Nexus Prime Vs. Apple iPhone 4S

Battle for supremacy, which is better smartphone, the new Google Nexus Prime or the Apple iPhone 4S?Although the Apple iPhone was the original revolutionary device to start the smart phone craze, lately the Android phones have been nipping at iPhones heels in terms of popularity and sales. The latest offering from these two giants are the Nexus Prime from Android, and the Apple iPhone 4S from Apple. The winner of this contest could ultimately tip the tide in the smart phone wars one way or the other.

Nexus Prime vs Apple iPhone 4s

Look and Feel


The Google Nexus Prime is a thinner phone than the Apple iPhone 4S. Even though the upgraded iPhone 4S has improved in terms of getting thinner, it pretty hard to beat Nexus, the thinnest smart-phone in the world. The Nexus Prime is also lighter, coming in at 135 grams to the iPhones 140. The difference in thinness is slight, the Primes 9 mm to the iPhone 4S which is 9.3mm. This means that while the Prime is more portable in terms of statistics, the difference will not likely be very noticeable.Actually, the Nexus will be a little larger due to its larger screen, which comes in at an inch larger than the iPhone 4S 3.5 inch display. The Google Nexus Prime and the Apple iPhone 4s will be largely similar in look and feel to the phones that they are designed after. So if you like the look and feel of the original Nexus, or the original iPhone 4, then that will give you a good idea of what to expect for the new versions.

Nexus Prime vs Apple iPhone 4s

Hardware

The Google Nexus Prime sports a 1.2 GHz dual core processor, with a PowerVR SGX540 GPU at 384MHz for Great Graphics, which will make it noticeably faster than the iPhones A4, 1 GHz dual core processor with PowerVR SGX535 GPU. The difference in speed will likely make a difference, especially if you plan on running some games that need processing power, like high level graphic games, for example.
The iPhone 4S will have more memory available, since you can choose to have it come with 16, 32 or 64 GB, while the Google Nexus Prime will come 32 GB in the U.S. 16GB in Canada. In contrast, the Nexus will come with an impressive 1 GB of RAM, to the iPhone 4S 512 MB. Having twice as much Ram will also make the Nexus much snappier and capable of running better programs.
The phones camera for the Samsung Nexus will be a 5 megapixel while it will be 8 megapixels for the iPhone 4S, but as we mentioned before, this will only make a difference if your planning on blowing up your pictures to poster size. The Apple iPhone 4S will still run off of the 3G network, while the Prime will run off the 4G LTE network, making the Prime also a significantly faster phone in regards to data transfer online, watching media, the speed will be really nice to have.
The battery power of each phone is about the same, giving similar lengths of time with using the phone for talking, and also a similar amount on standby. The Google Nexus Prime has a display that’s an inch larger than the iPhone, and it also uses new Super AMOILED technology for a more response touch screen. The Samsung Nexus Prime also has a display screen with 1280 by 720 resolution, which are light years ahead of the 640 X 960 iPhone 4S screen.
The larger screen on the Nexus will also make it easier to see, which is a big deal when you are watching a movie or T.V. Show, and when you have a 4G LTE connection, you will be doing a lot of that.

Software

The Apple iPhone 4S will be running the IOS 5 operating system. The Google Nexus Prime will be running Android 4.0, which has been code named Ice Cream Sandwich in line with Google fondness for naming their operating systems after desserts.
The operating systems are generally comparable here, and the problem is that comparing IOS to Android is a bit of an apples and oranges situation (or Apples to Ice Cream). The only thing to note is that iPhone 4S is running the same software as the iPhone 4, so that will give you good idea of its capabilities. The Google Nexus Prime will be the first phone out to run Android 4.0, which sports some new features like direct WIFI transfer, NFC Technology (new internal processor that gives the Nexus the ability to have a payment feature, so you could use your phone, to purchase from a vending machine or cash register), Nexus will also have a new first facial recognition lock-screen, and upgraded voice recognition features, are you getting excited?

Nexus Prime vs Apple iPhone 4s

Conclusion

The Samsung Nexus Prime has completely new technology, a major upgrade in software, and far superior abilities when it comes to processing power, RAM, gaming and display. The choice of whether to choose the iPhone 4S over the Google Nexus Prime will likely come down to whether you are a diehard iPhone fan and refuse to look past the Apple Icon Status. They have done a great job in advertising and in taking the industry form phones as a calling device, I think they are a great product, but I have to say there are some great existing features that have been taken from Google existing cloud services. Like Google Docs, the blend beautifully with the new Android 4.0, that has become even better with the software.

The Google Nexus Prime appears to be the better phone, even just spec-wise, and the no-brainer choice. For users that require editing of docs, and spreadsheets, the larger phone, and the ability to work with in the Google docs environment, is great. Sharing docs with colleagues, has already existed with Google, and the Nexus with Ice Cream Sandwich brings it all home with a large screen to view your work, take pictures and videos, play games or watch your favorite T.V. show when you just want to sometime to relax.

I want one!

iPhone fans mentality. iPhone 4 vs HTC EVO

Have you ever thought how come Apple fans keep always buying the latest and greatest Apple products, although if the difference in the price from the previous generation is huge while not much difference in functionality. I mean how much of a difference iPhone 4S had when compared to iPhone 4, nothing that even worth mentioning. On the other hand how many iPhone fan has upgraded their phones to iPhone 4S!! Further, how many are still waiting to put their hand on one to upgrade their own iPhone 4!!

Another thing that always make us wonder, how come Apple fans only consider buying Apple product even if there is a better product in the market at a fraction of the cost. Even they are willing to pay much higher for a service provider just because that service provider sell iPhone.

If the above examples make you wonder, then watching the video below will be of a great amusement for you and will put a big smile on your face guaranteed.
