Processor: The iPhone 6¡¯s is expected to sport Apple¡¯s A8 processor, which will reportedly run at 2GHz. While details about the processor have been fairly sparse, Daring Firebal l¡¯s John Gruber suggests that the iPhone 6 may have a new secure enclave where cred it card data could be stored. The secure enclave technology is currently used to safely store fingerprints within the A7 processor of the iPhone 5S. Rumors also pointed to 2GB of RAM in the A8, but photos of a leaked iPhone 6 log ic board show that it may contain 1GB of RAM instead. Mobile Payments: Among the most prominent features expected on the iPhone 6 is the addition of ne ar-field communication or NFC, which enables mobile payments and wireless data c ommunication with just a tap. Apple is expected to roll out NFC on the iPhone 6 along with its own payment system that will rival Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) wallet a nd other payment apps. Sapphire Screen: No feature is more desired on the iPhone 6 than a sapphire screen. Rumors have b ounced back and forth over the past months as to whether or not both iPhone mode ls will have the scratch resistant material. But according to the latest researc h note by PTT Research analyst and GT Advanced Technologies (NASDAQ:GTAT) invest or Mark Margolis, all iPhone 6L models may sport sapphire, while the material ma y be reserved for the high-end models of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6. Camera The iPhone 6 camera is expected to receive a modest upgrade featuring a 13MP Son y Exmor IMX220 image sensor. Reports in the first half of the year indicated tha t the camera may also feature an optical image stabilization feature to reduce t he occurrence of blurry photos. But a research note from KGI Securities analyst Ming Chi-Kuo doesn¡¯t expect the feature to be included in the 4.7-inch iPhone 6. Operating System The iPhone 6 will have iOS 8 installed, which contains a number of improvements for Apple's mobile OS, including support for health and fitness apps through its HealthKit platform, quick reply notifications and continuity features which int egrate iOS 8 with Apple's OS X desktop operating system. Price Prices are currently unconfirmed. However, analysts have speculated that iPhone 6 models will start around $199-299 under a two-year contract and $700 off-contr act and unlocked. Release Date While Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 6 during its media event on Sept. 9 , the company is expected to officially sell the highly anticipated smartphone t en days later on Sept. 19..

Android Vs Ios
Android vs iOS By Mohammad Daraghmeh Jack DeGonzaque AGENDA ● Android ○ History ● Samsung S6 ○ System Architecture ○ Processor ○ Performance Metrics ● iOS ○ History ● iPhone 6 ○ System Architecture ○ Processor ○ Performance Metrics ● Samsung S6 vs iPhone 6 Android Android History ● The Android OS was created mainly by three amazing people Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White. ○ Initial development for the OS was to create an operating system for digital cameras and PC integration. ○ After gauging the size of the market for such a product, Rubin and his colleagues decided to target the booming smartphone market. ● In 2005, Google also wanted to venture into the smartphone market and did so by acquiring Android Inc. ○ The primary directive was to develop technologies that are developed and distributed at a significantly lower cost to make it more accessible. ○ In 2008, the first Android running smartphone, the HTC Dream, was released. Android History (Cont.) ● The Android operating system has become one of the most popular operating systems. ○ According to research firm, called Gartner, more than a billion Android devices were sold in 2014, which is roughly five times more than Apple iOS devices sold and three times more Windows machines sold. ● Their attribute to success stems from the fact that Google does not charge for Android, and that most phone manufacturers are making cost effective phones, which results in affordable smartphones and internet services at low costs for consumers to enjoy. SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 System Architecture ● Samsung S6 uses the Exynos 7420 processor, which is developed by Samsung as well. ○ The Exynos 7420 is a 78 mm^2 SoC comprised of 8 cores connected to two L2 cache instances.

Hatekar** *(Research Scholar, Department of Electronics and Telecommunication, Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, Mumbai-50 ** (Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics and Telecommunication, Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, Mumbai-50 Corresponding Author : Vinay Nagrani ABSTRACT Apple's known to be a company which embraces in-house technology. While other companies outsource, Apple likes to keep things in-house whenever potential and therefore the chips found in iOS devices are no exception whereas other smartphones makers rely on Qualcomm, Mediatek and Intel for chipsets. Apple houses its own team of engineers to work on designs exclusive to their devices and it all began in 2008 when Apple purchased a small semiconductor company called P. A. Semi (i.e. Palo Alto Semiconductor). With a continuous thrive to push the human race forward, Apple‟s been exploiting the smartphones industry to the very limits possible. The first "Systems on Chip" (SoC) was used in the first iPhone in 2007 it was called the APL0098. A12X, which is the latest chipset by Apple, stands out to be the most advanced processor ever found on a Smartphone.

Intel and AMD. Although the philosophy of their micro Most CPUs are designed so that the contents of a architecture is the same, they differ in their approaches to single integer register can store the address of any data in implementation. We discuss architecture issues, limitations, the computer's virtual considered an appropriate size to architectures and their features .We live in a world of constant competition dating to the historical words of the work with for another important reason: 4.29 billion Charles Darwin-‘Survival of the fittest ‘. As time passed by, integers are enough to assign unique references to most applications needed more processing power and this lead to entities in applications like databases. an explosive era of research on the architecture of Some supercomputer architectures of the 1970s and microprocessors.

Inside of an Apple Iphone
Team 7121D iPhone Exploration By Victoria Herrera, Nicholas Estenoz, Zane Lebel, Josh Honorat, Gabriel Zaragoza Apple iPhone 6 on the right with required tools for tear down As of 2017, BMO Capital Market analyst Tim Long estimated more than 700 million iPhones being used worldwide. With these statistics in mind, our team decided we wanted to explore a device that is used worldwide by millions. With little knowledge of the interior of an iPhone, our curiosity raised; so we researched, gathered materials, and the challenge was on. Our team decided to use an iPhone that was already water damaged to make sure we wouldn’t damage a functioning iPhone. First off we must take off the two bottom screws in order to separate the iPhone screen: front camera, ear piece speaker, and LCD, from the base: lithium-ion battery, Touch ID sensors, rear camera, speaker assembly, vibrator assembly, lightning connector and headphone jack assembly, and the logic board. The image on the right shows the two halves. We decided to research the component that we knew least of, the logic board. The logic board being the most important for the functionality of the iPhone contains many intricate parts. Some of the parts include Apple A8 APL1011 SoC + SK Hynix RAM, InvenSense MP67B 6-axis Gyroscope and Accelerometer Combo, Qualcomm QFE1100 Envelope Tracking IC, SanDisk SDMFLBCB2 128 Gb NAND Flash, Murata 339S0228 Wi-Fi Module, and Texas Instruments 343S0694 Touch Transmitter. The image of the right shows the logic board outside the phone. There are many more important pieces to the logic board that are crucial to the functionality of the system.
