How to improve the battery life in iOS 7?

Saving the battery life of Apple iPhone using iOS 7.

The new version of iOS provides sufficient discussion for both designers  and users. Both find that their battery will not last long. But there are lot of things to do in the iOS operating system settings that can increase or save the life of battery.

The things that you can do to save the battery are:

• Turn off animation effects.

          By turning off the animation effects you are reducing the power required by the device and thus 

          saving the battery.

• Stop the device from automatically downloading updates. 

         Apple devices downloads updates required by the device automatically. So a service runs in the                    background for this purpose always , whether the update is available or not. You can always                       download the updates manually and thus stop the service which drains the battery for nothing.

• Reduce the brightness of the screen.

          This is a very silly but very important thing not to avoid. The display or the screen consumes more

          power when you increase the brightness of the screen sometimes 50% of the total power is consumed

         by the display. So reduce the display brightness and save the battery life. 

         

• Disable Location Services.

         You can turn off  the location service which is not always required just like the auto updates.

• Disable Spotlight.

         Disable Spotlight feature or service which is also not a necessity.

• Use a stationary wallpaper.

          Use a stationary or static wallpaper instead of live wallpapers.

I have clearly explained everything, so take just a few minutes to get everything set and have a better battery life.

New iPhone reportedly to be available on 20th September 2013

New information about the release date of iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C changes everything!

Reports from anonymous sources shows that the iPhone 5 S and the iPhone 5 C will be announced on September 10 and will be released on October 25 . The same source comes to correct the statement on dates, saying late October will see the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 and not the iPhone 5 S and iPhone 5 C.

That's all good news can mean for those who expect the devices with impatience! So the date we currently have in our hands is the 20th September release of iPhone 5 S and iPhone 5 C, while the iOS 7 will likely make its debut on 16 September.

About iPhone 5C an interesting prediction by the analyst KGI Mingchi Kuo is that the iPhone 5C will replace the iPhone 5, not the iPhone 4S, which means that Apple will not offer the device at such a reduced price as expected. This flagship will reach end of life in the third quarter of 2013, while the 4S will remain in production for the developing markets.

If you thought that the iPhone 5C is cheap, then I have bad news about the issue. According to Kuo, the iPhone 5C will cost somewhere between $ 400 to $ 500, while the PhoneArena says the device can reach up to $ 555. 

As always, nothing is official until announced by Apple, in which case you probably know everything on 20 September which is the presentation day of the devices by Apple.

Jekyll on iOS : High-tech Trojans entered Apple's App Store.

At the prestigious Usenix Conference, a research team presented techniques that they could outsmart Apple's precautions against Trojans. They smuggled a seemingly harmless app in Apple's App Store, which only subsequently revealed their true face and "Jekyll on iOS" became true.

There are two obstacles that prevent the smuggling of malware into the app store. The first is that every app prior to inclusion in the App Store is subjected to tests that are not documented anywhere by Apple.The second is that unlike Google's Android , on an iOS device code execution only takes place of the apps which bears a digital signature from the operating system vendor(Apple).

Instead of skipping, the researchers have overcome these hurdles. They ranged from an Apple a little program, which presented itself at startup as a harmless News app , which at this time had no hidden additional functions. However, the researchers were  specifically able to built vulnerabilities in the app which can be exploited remotely. After starting the app will quite normally contact the developers server which is normal but With the specially crafted commands they were able to remotely exploit these vulnerabilities and thus take control of the program flow.

Using a code rearrangement  technique called "Return Oriented Programming", the researchers were able to change the existing code fragments and put it together into its spying capabilities.

In principle, these are the same techniques that a iOS jailbreaker brings for his code to be executed in the ios device. The Paper "Jekyll on iOS: When Benign Apps Become Evil" contains fascinating details of all the technology used, with which they were able to bypass the security restrictions imposed by Apple.

The Trojan can send e-mails, text messages, tweets, reads information from device and can also control the camera. The real purpose of the exercise was not to construct a super-Trojan, but to show that you can crack Apple's iOS security concept .
