APPLE TO RETAIN 8MP RESOLUTION ON THE NEW IPHONE 6

Apple will not be interested in increasing the megapixel count of its next iPhone smartphone camera according to Sources with some knowledge of the matter.

Instead Apple will likely focus on improving the lens system and image quality.

Previous rumors suggested the iPhone 6 camera may be bumped to 10 MP with a faster F/1.8 aperture (the iPhone 5s is currently sporting an F/2.2 lens) so perhaps the aperture will remain.

Rumors are circulating that Apple will use swappable resin lenses for its iPhone 6.

Other rumors have suggested optical image stabilization but seeing how Apple is doing some clever gyro-based software tricks in the iPhone 5s to avoid OIS it seems unlikely the company will change its mind in the next flagship.

If Apple indeed retains the 8 MP resolution which debuted on the iPhone 4S camera, it will go against the current trend of manufacturer increasing megapixel count in their smartphones' cameras recently.

Report reaching us now confirms that Samsung is releasing a small batch of S5s to shops in selected

consumers when designing these products,"
said Younghee Lee, Samsung's executive vice president of global marketing,
"and we want to give as many customers as possible the enough chance to experience of Galaxy S5, Gear 2, and Gear Fit before they purchase."

The S5 is sure to be one of the
biggest hits of the year, although it doesn't look radically different to the S4.

Its fingerprint and heart-rate sensors are its main new selling points, with the ability to confirm PayPal purchases using a swipe of your finger a potential game-changer.

TWITTER NEW TIMELINE CALLED FAVE PEOPLE - YOUR FAVORITE TWITTER USERS

Twitter is experimenting with a new feature called “Fave People,” which allows you to keep track of your favorite Twitter users and accounts in a separate timeline.

This feature, essentially a more user-friendly version of Twitter’s “Lists,” recently appeared in the alpha version of Twitter’s Android application – the app where the company tests new features and changes before rolling them out to beta testers, and then, finally, to the general public.

The alpha app currently uses a
“swipeable” menu across the top for navigation in between sections like Home, Discover, Activity, and more.

Fave People has a fairly prominent position there, at
least for now, as it’s placed directly to the right of the main (“Home”) timeline. When you tap into this section for the first time, the app explains how Fave People works,
saying:
Keep track of your favorites
Tap the star icon on the
profiles of your favorite people to see their Tweets in this timeline. You can also chose to receive notifications when they tweet from Settings.

A button beneath this message lets you hop into your “Following” section in order to start picking out your favorite fellow Twitter users.

This could be a bit of a time-
consuming process for those who follow hundreds, thousands or even more, on Twitter.
