The Galaxy S7 was announced last month, and as we all know, it has regained its water and dust resistance. Because of that, we were a little fearful for the release of an S7 Active. It seems that it may be a thing.
In a recent update to the “Samsung Level” app, Samsung themselves accidentally confirmed it in the changelog section. They stated that among all of their other phones, the “Galaxy S7 Active” appeared for a bit of time. That leaves the question… What will this phone have that the S7 doesn’t?
They both will be waterproof and dust proof… It is expected that this phone may have a longer duration of submersion, and a bit more tolerance to dust. And as always the Actives, a slightly beefier battery and a more rugged design.
We will have to see.

Ever since the upgrade to OS X Yosemite, I have hated the Mac. They ruined the greatest user interface of all time and made it theirs. They took what was already great and functional and turned it into a mess.
Let me explain.

In IOS 9.3, there were a couple big features. This article is telling you why you should update to IOS 9.3. Continue reading 3 Reasons To Update To IOS 9.3!
Everywhere, there has been a lot of great reviews and a lot of news about the Amazon Echo, the in-home voice assistant. According to The Information, Google is working on a new product that is similar to the Amazon Echo, but they have not offered any of thep [potential] product’s features, pricing, looks, release time, or anything. This little tidbit of information comes from a report from Nest, which was acquired by Google in 2014. It is part of a report that says that Nest has “stalled” innovation. Currently, they offer two major products, the Nest Protect, Nest Thermostat, and Nest Dropcam.
According to The Information, Nest has requested to be part of this project, but it appears that it was turned away by the team at Google leading this effort. Nest’s product line has slowed to an almost halt since the ownership of Google. The report says that Tony Fadell’s oversight of the company can be to blame. He tends to apply constant pressure to rework features and make designs better.
Amazon Echo has been a huge success for Amazon, earning spectacular reviews and outstanding sales. This device is still getting new features and more advanced things through new firmware.
It is not likely, but it could be announced at this year’s I/O conference coming up in May.

Apple realeased a ton of new products at the Apple Event on March 21, 2016. In that event, they released a new robot named Liam which can tear your iPhone apart and recycle it. They also released updates for the iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. Now on to the big stuff, the new Apple Watch Bands, iPad Pro 9.7″, and the iPhone SE.
Apple’s new robot named Liam takes recycling seriously. If can completely take apart an iPhone and separate each part to recycle them so they can use the parts in other iPhones. Apple is taking there recycling very seriously lately.
All platforms got a software update that were mostly stability updates but in the iPhone, they got an update called IOS 9.3. In IOS 9.3, there is new awesome feature that completely got stolen from F.Lux which takes out all of the blue light in the display so you can sleep better and also so it dosen’t damage your eyes. They call it NightShift. It basically does the exact same thing except it dosen’t have as many features as F.Lux does. Also, the Apple TV got Folder support if you really needed to kn0w that.
New Apple Watch Bands got released and they are a layered stitch design with lots of colors. The Apple Watch also got a price reduce from $399 to $299 which in my mind it should have been $299 from the beginning.
The iPad Pro 9.7″ got released and it is basically the exact same thing as the iPad Pro except that there is a couple of new features. That new feature is that the camera is upgraded along with a rear facing flash. The new camera can shoot 4K and is a 12 megapixel sensor. A bad thing about upgrading the camera is that it is now protruding which completely sucks so now when you use your Apple Pencil, your iPad will wobble around on the table. One more feature that the the new iPad has that the other one dosen’t is a new screen technology called true tone display where the sensors sense that you are in a warm environment and it changes the screen temperature according to what is going on around you. I am very excited about this new technology and I hope it comes to all of the new Apple products that Apple is going to release.
Finally, the new iPhone 5 SE. This phone has the specks of the iPhone 6s but in a 4″ form factor. This is great for the people that use the iPhone 5s because they can upgrade without getting a bigger screen and they can keep the same design. It has an A9 Apple chip, 12 megapixel 4K camera (no protruding lense), new Rose Gold color, Front flash, Apple Pay, Touch ID, and faster LTE. This new phone is a budget phone and it is the first budget phone from Apple and it only starts at $399 for a 16GB model which sucks because Apple should be starting everything at aleast 32GB. So basically it is an iPhone 6s but smaller.

We are now a few days out from the ‘iPhone 5SE’ event. Apple is expected to be unveling a new iPhone, a 9.7 inch iPad Pro, and potentially some new Watch stuffs. This will become the new “base” model. It is expected to baseline at 32GB but is also rumoured to have a 128GB option. This new iPad is not an iPad Air 2 replacement, and you should not expect a price drop in the current one.
