Apple on Speed.

Tempo, Tempo, Tempo: Apple presents a new iPhone with the name "Speed", promises to speed up the operating systems and equips its laptops. Actually receives the mobile phone especially many new features - some like video, copy & paste were overdue, but some are truly innovative.

 

You have made it exciting until the last.

With hardware announcements began Monday evening at the Apple developer conference WWDC in San Francisco. First presented marketing chief Phil Schiller a lively new MacBook, then had more than one hour, new operating systems for Macs and iPhones demonstrate - before he came to the product, on the Apple fans had been waiting for.

The iPhone 3G S.

Visually, it is by his predecessor hardly be distinguished. But it should be about twice as fast as a working iPhone 3G and also twice as fast wireless network connection as before. Instead of 3.6 Mbps HSDPA, it links with up to 7.2 megabits per second to produce. Faster wireless networks can not.

The camera was as expected on 3 megapixel refined and now has an autofocus lens, a white and a macro function for extreme close-ups. To set the lens to a specific area scharfzustellen you type this on the screen. In addition, the iPhone 3 GS videos in VGA resolution and offers opportunities to record these movies directly on your mobile screen to edit.

A function of the advance was nothing to read, the voice control. Both the phone function as well as iTunes to deal with voice commands to manage. The device responds even in spoken language. It is understood the question, what song is played straight, and it identifies the artist and title. A similar function is also available in the iPod Shuffle, but there no voice control.

MOBILE BROADBAND FORMATS

UMTS

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System - is often referred to as standard for third generation (3G) that it takes much higher data rates than its predecessor, enables GSM. German UMTS networks typically create a bandwidth of 384 kbit / s for data transmission from the terminal Mobilfunkmast. Regular DSL connections offer today übrlicherweise 1024 Kbit / s.

HSDPA

High Speed Downlink Packet Access - is based on UMTS to achieve but significantly higher transmission rates in the transmission of Mobilfunkmast to the terminal. The practically achievable data rate is currently at 1.4 Mb / s. Through technological improvements, it gradually to 5.1 Mbit / s rise. (more on blogs KNOW)

GPRS

General Packet Radio Service - this standard decomposed data at stations in individual packets, transmits them gestückelt and puts them back together at the receiver. By bundling multiple transmission channels is theoretically a transmission rate of up to 171.2 kbits / s possible. In practical operation, it is usually 55.6 Kbps - modems were so slow in the days before DSL. (more on blogs KNOW)

Edge

Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution - technology to increase the rate of data transmission in GSM mobile networks. Through more efficient modulation techniques are in the sum up to 384 kbit / s can be achieved - that is UMTS speed. Edge has been accessed in 75 countries. (more on blogs KNOW)

WiMax

The WiMax technology includes several standards, data on different radio frequencies. Some WiMax standards need sight between the transmitter and receiver, other signals can also penetrate walls. Tests WiMax will have data transfer rates of more than 100 Mbit / s has been achieved. Hermann Lipfert, an expert in wireless networks at the Munich Institute for Broadcasting Technology (IRT) estimates that in a regular-WiMax wireless cell Tranferraten from 50 Mbit / s are realistic - under ideal conditions and with application of all presently available technical tricks. This range would need to be as in UMTS all users share in the respective cell line. (more on blogs KNOW)

DVB-T

The DVB-T standard provides for the distribution of digital television signals by radio. The DVB standard is also designed to evaluate Internet content to transfer - in the frequency range of a single analogue television channel (about 7 MHz) fit, but just 13 megabits per second into it. If a single broadcast station that is 20 users hanging around the same time, a file download attempt, it is already tightly - the data rate for each user would be less than one Mbit / s, ie lower than the cheapest DSL connections that are currently on offer are. "The greatest danger to this technique is different from the present to be overhauled," said Sven Hansen from the computer magazine "c't". Applying the content via DVB, which also goes in only one direction - just like in television. The return channel must then be produced by other means, such as through a conventional telephone line. Mouse clicks in the browser went with this method over the telephone line to the provider, the req!
uested pages would be of the DVB broadcast station back to the receiver gefunkt. This is cumbersome - and slow. (more on blogs KNOW)

LTE

Long Term Evolution is the name that a number of mobile phone companies a broader standard of the fourth generation mobile phone has been given. LTE is basically an evolution of UMTS - but requires completely new hardware, including new stations. LTE competes with the WiMax standard to the market leader in the mobile Internet of the future - between the two standards may be a new format war. LTE has been estimated by experts to WiMax, however, about two years behind in terms of technological development. (More at blogs KNOW)

Specially designed for business customers (but not limited to) get the new iPhone now available on a chip integrates hardware encryption. That there is also a compass function, was to be expected - by typing on a map to his current position, even turning the map in the direction in which you just look.

For the everyday, but most likely the improvements in his lifetime. The device with built-in battery is fixed up to five hours talk time in 3G network, or up to nine hours wireless internet offer - three hours additional Internet usage so that Apple promises to its customers.

As can be extremely friendly, the price of Apple call: $ 199, the iPhone 3G S with 16 gigabytes of storage cost, the 32 gigabyte version is $ 100 more expensive. From the fabled base model with 4 gigabytes of storage to $ 149 on the other hand, is nothing. Instead, the company retains the current iPhone 3G in the program - for $ 99.

All these figures relate clearly to the U.S. in the package with a mobile phone contract from AT & T. How many people here for the new device will have to pay will only be revealed shortly. It is clear, however: you have a long wait from the iPhone is not fast. As early as next week in Germany should have to be on 19 June, Friday.
