Iphone 7 has been launched?

It has only been a couple of months since the iPhone 5s and 5c were launched but people are already speculating what is in store for the next generation Apple handsets. And, when you look at what could be in store, I am sure a few people may be considering leaving out the current generation and skipping to the iPhone 6 or iPhone 7 when it is lauched in 2014..
Speculation for the next years iPhone is that it will be Bigger, Smarter, Lighter and Stronger..

BIGGER - A must with dimensions more in line with the other leading models such as the HTC1 or Galaxy S4. A handset with a screen size of 4.5inches or bigger is almost definite. Going by reports form Asia we will possibly be looking at he introduction of the iPhone Math with a 4.8 inch screen..With this more Apps and gimmicks an be placed on the homescreen giving the user nearly everything they want in view and accessible with one touch.
 
SMARTER - The integrated fingerprint recognition within the home button has been a big hit, but, that is somthing that Apple can surely progress on with the launch of next years model..
How about never having to remember passwords or PINS when you log onto your banking App, simply have your fingerprint as all the ID that is needed..that would be progression and true security. No more logging onto any App or service that you are familiar as it would have your data stored and it would recognise your fingerprint....
Or, will we be actually looking at eye retina recognition?....
NFC technology will integrated along with wirless charging and a much improved camera. The camera on the 5s is impressive but it has ben noted as with all the past generation iPhones that the speed of the camera does tend to slow as the memory gets fuller. 
It is also possible that it will be powered by an A8 chip and will run with iOS8 software.
Could we also be looking at an iPhone that has the option of a removable memory chip?

LIGHTER - With the launch of the iPad air we have seen that Apple are more than capable of manufactruing tablets that are better and sleeker than anything else currently on the market. The iPad air was just the taster, expect the next iPhone to elaborate on this by being even thinnner than the current model but stronger than its competitors. Imagine a phone that weighs half the weight of the current models?
STRONGER - Forget Gorilla glass, Apple have purchased $578m sapphire from  GT Advanced Technologies [a sapphire crystal manufacturer].  Currently sapphire is used on the iPhone 5s, but only on the fingerprint reader and rear camera. Known to be tougher than concrete and scratch resistant, a screen made our of sapphire would be a massive plus and it would also allow the next handset to have an almost wrap around screen that was previously patented by Apple. So we could well be looking at a handset without side edges but tougher than ones with..

Should you buy an Apple iPad or an Android tablet?

iPad (/ˈaɪpæd/ EYE-pad) is a line of tablet computers designed and marketed by Apple Inc., which runs Apple's iOS. The first iPad was released on April 3, 2010; the most recent iPad models, the iPad Air and second generation iPad Mini, were revealed on October 22, 2013 and went on sale November 1, 2013, and November 12, 2013, respectively. The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad has built-in Wi-Fi and, on some models, cellular connectivity. There have been over 170 million iPads sold since its release in 2010 (as of October 2013).

Tablets are a wonderful choice for anyone who wants a portable, connected, large display device. While the jury is still out on whether they are best for content consumption or creation (we think they can do both), there are few who will deny that tablets are here to stay. If you've decided to indulge yourself and get a tablet, the foremost question in your mind would be whether you should buy the most popular tablet, the Apple iPad, or its strongest and usually cheaper competitor, an Android tablet. Both these gadgets have their pros and cons, so here are some features that you should consider before taking a decision.

Software and apps
Anyone who has used the iPad will tell you that the true strength of the device is its software and vast app repository. The iTunes App Store has applications for just about everything you would want, from word processing and checking your blood pressure to hardcore gaming and video editing. Android is catching up fast in this department, but it's not there yet. However, it does handle social networks more seamlessly and usually provides a better Web browsing experience due to its support of Adobe Flash, which Apple lacks. Currently, the iPad is leading, not least because of the number of malware scares we have had on Android. My choice: The iPad

Hardware
In terms of hardware, it's a close battle between the iPad and its Android counterparts. If budget is not a constraint, Android would seem to hold the edge with faster processors (some have quad core processors), more powerful cameras (up to 8 megapixels) and, in most cases, easily expandable memory. However, the iPad scores on the most important facet of the tablet-the display. The new iPad's retina display is better than anything Android tablets can offer currently. You will have to choose between the best display and the best innards.
My choice: Pick an Android tablet if you want faster processor speed and high-megapixel cameras, but buy an iPad if you want an awesome display.

Ease of use and performance
Both Android tablets and the iPad have simple, icon-driven interfaces. However, where they tend to differ is in the Apple's consistent interface across all its devices (all iPads run iOS 5.1). Android tablets, on the other hand, tend to look and behave differently on the surface, thanks to the layers placed by manufacturers (Sense by HTC, TouchWiz by Samsung) and the fact that they run different versions of Android (currently, tablets are running Android 2.2, 2.3, 3.0, 3.1 and 4.0). Also, the single button interface of the iPad is far easier to handle for most newcomers.
If you consider hardware benchmarks, the leading Android tablets would take a beating. However, the stark fact is that because of the number of Android tablets in the market (there are more than a dozen right now), it is difficult to measure them by a standard benchmark. Some Android tablets perform very well, others less so. Apple scores here once again, mainly because of its standardized hardware and software combination. Two iPads of the same generation will behave alike, while two Android tablets running the same software, but from different manufacturers, will not.
