Apple learned the secrets to protect Samsung Galaxy S III

Previously, the history of the security services often told Apple - a recognized leader in the industrial part of the absence of leaks before the release of important devices. South Korea's Samsung took a leaf from his rival, and made every effort paranoid to photos and specifications of its last leader did not appear in the press before the official release. The manufacturer has done everything possible for the sake of secrecy Galaxy S III.

 

It is learned from a report published in the official blog of Samsung, all the engineers had to hide any details, even from his family. For example, the chief engineer Ben Lee Joon lied to his son, the sixth-grade student:

"My eldest son is in sixth grade - says Jung Lee. - He knows that I was developing Galaxy S and Galaxy S II. So, I think he expected my participation in the new project. Each time, reading the  online  article about the preparation of a new Galaxy S III, he asked me if I work on a new model of what I had to reply: "I do not know." I was at these moments was not myself. "

While working on the Galaxy S III involved the engineers were not allowed to contact other members for help (usually any problem on any less important for us gadget can be solved through collective efforts.)

Only authorized personnel with access to a lab for fingerprint could work directly with the phone - the device did not show anyone too much, just transferred in sealed opaque boxes. What to say: in order to send a prototype device partners and senior employees of Samsung personally went on a trip. All to no one caught the gadget (or did not leave the bar after the party, ahem ahem). About sending photos of the device in such circumstances the question could not be. They say even the purchasing department had to rely on written descriptions of the device.

Another favorite trick in such situations - the creation of several dissimilar prototypes. Each doll was maintained and cultivated as the final device with all the consequences. Antenna design team was forced to make three different antennas for the three prototypes.

However, to fully preserve Galaxy S III in the mystery was not possible. A week before the official presentation of the web started to pop up the phone models, as well as the principal technical characteristics.

We recall, Android-smartphone Galaxy S III was announced May 3 at the launch in London. The device is equipped with quad-core Exynos 4412 A9 with a frequency of 1.4 GHz, 1 GB of RAM type DDR2, 2.100 mAh battery capacity, and two cameras - an 8-megapixel main backlit, 1.9-megapixel front.

Compatible with iOS 6 iPhone, iPad and iPod touch in one table

At the Worldwide Developers Conference WWDC 2012 during the presentation of six iOS Apple representatives expressed support for all mobile devices, however, as we found out , things were not quite so.

 

For example, view maps in 3D-mode and auto-negotiation - one of the main innovations of the platform - will be available only to owners and iPad iPhone 4S second and third generation. Voice assistant Siri after iOS 6 can be used not only for iPhone 4S, but also on the tablet Apple, but only the latest version, released in March this year. Take advantage of FaceTime video chat through cellular connection, and not on a network Wi-Fi, and will only owners of the latest generations of today iPhone and iPad.

While Apple continues to support the model of the 2009 iPhone 3GS, this smart phone owners will not be able to enjoy many new features iOS 6. Among them was the feature to store items in the browser for reading offline, virtual folders in your mail client for a mailing, and the important function of sharing pictures with friends.

Owners of first generation iPad, which was released in 2010, set iOS 6 will not.

 

At present, a test version of iOS 6 applies only to registered developers. Output the final version of the platform is expected to fall, presumably, it will be timed to coincide with the emergence of the new generation iPhone.
