Apple Iphone 6s features 1,715 mAh battery - Will you go for the Device ?


I believe Apple accidentally revealed that the freshly announced iPhone 6s features 1,715 mAh battery. The component was revealed in the Cupertino giant’spromo video for the smartphone.


This means that the new iPhone 6s features a smaller battery than its predecessor, iPhone 6, which offers a 1,810 mAh solution. However, despite the smaller unit, Apple claims that iPhone 6s will offer similar battery endurance as the model it replaces, thanks to more efficient CPU and iOS 9.
A smaller battery in the new iPhone is hardly a surprise. Even though it looks the same as the outgoing model, iPhone 6s features rearranged internals that accommodate the new tech it offers. We reckon that some of the new components required the change in battery size.

Complete Gist on The New “High” data saving mode on Opera Mini

Hey, Opera Mini lovers! We have some really exciting news for you. Have you upgraded toOpera Mini 11 on your Android device? If so, tap the O menu and check out the new High andExtreme data-savings modes.
To make it clear, with Extreme savings mode you will get the same amount of data saving as before.


The new High savings mode shrinks webpages less aggressively than extreme mode, but it gives you a whole new browsing experience. Watch more videos, spend more time on your social networks and download files.
Here’s more about the magic of Opera Mini‘sHigh savings mode and a little guide to help you find out which mode will work best for you.

What so special about this ‘High’ savings mode?

High data-savings mode compresses data without compromising a page’s layout or functionality.
Social networks – Facebook, Twitter and many other social-networking sites have a more authentic, intuitive layout when you browse with High savings mode. That means you can do more fun things. If GPS is enabled, Facebook can automatically pick up your current location without the need to type or search. Uploading images on Twitter and a number of other websites is also be a breeze.

Emojis - Aren’t emojis so addictive? With High savings mode, you will be able to send and receive emojis on your social networks. Using Extreme mode, these are currently hidden.

Gmail - Browsing Gmail with High savings mode gives your Gmail a fuller, richer menu and the possibility to attach and download as many files as you need. If you need more options, scroll to the bottom and you can switch to the desktop view of Gmail, should that be useful to you.

YouTube – You can now watch all YouTube videos available in your region inside Opera Mini. Sweet!

SoundCloud - Music in your browser? Yes, please! With High savings mode, you can listen to your SoundCloud mixes on your phone without eating up all your data.
Enjoy 'High' mode on Opera Mini with great data saving more music!

When should I use High savings mode?

If you are on Wi-Fi or you aren’t particularly concerned about using more mobile data, switch to High savings mode and you’ll get a fuller browsing experience like the ones described above. Personally, I’ve used High savings mode consistently for the past month and was still saved almost 50% of my data.

And, when should I use extreme mode?

Switch over to Extreme mode if data cost is your number-one concern. Say you are on a capped data plan and want to get most use of it, Extreme mode is for you. A study conducted by Cigniti showed that with Extreme mode onOpera Mini, you can view up to nine times more pages than with other browsers, while saving battery. Also, if you are travelling, use Extreme mode to help keep down those expensive roaming fees.

Can I have the best of two worlds?

Yes! Choose the mode that suits you. Switching between High and Extreme-savings modes is simple. Tap the O menu and tap the data-savings gauge to toggle between the two.

I have a feedback about a website that’s not functioning as it should in High savings mode. What can I do?

How well the rendering process works depends on the version of your Android system. You can read more about it here. We’d love to hear from you. Report a bug to us here or connect with us on Facebook, Twitter or via email.
Bonus: We made improvements to give you smoother downloads. Another reason todownload the new Opera Mini 11 now!

Instagram updated with features to keep up with young, messaging users

Facebook Inc's Instagram added new features on Tuesday allowing users to exchange messages in private and group conversations as the photo and video-sharing service aims to keep up with growing messaging service Snapchat.

The upgrade by Instagram, which has more than 300 million users, is the latest move in the escalating battle for a young audience addicted to messaging with younger and hipper rival Snapchat, which has 100 million users and growing.
The new features mean Instagram users can share pictures directly with one friend or a group of people and send back text responses or pictures, which Instagram hopes will make users want to stay on its mobile app or web site longer.
Young mobile users are increasingly interested in messaging friends and having conversations online, rather than merely viewing content. As much as 40 percent of all comments on Instagram posts mention other accounts, Instagram said, suggesting that many users like to flag content to users they know and start conversations about it.
The move comes a week after Instagram upgraded its service to allow new layout options in addition to its signature square for pictures and videos, which was viewed as a move to compete better with Snapchat.
Snapchat, which is popular partly because messages on its platform disappear after a few seconds, already offered a variety of picture and video formats. Earlier this year, Snapchat upgraded its service so users could exchange text messages in response to photos and videos.
Many social sites and apps have added specialized messaging features recently in a bid to keep users.
Facebook, which owns Instagram, launched its Messenger service as a standalone app earlier this year, and added a virtual assistant called 'M' last week that can complete tasks for users such as shopping.
On Tuesday, LinkedIn Corp said it would revamp its inbox with new apps and designs that mimic chat services.
