In September, a compact docking connector will be the iPhone 5, the new iPod touch and iPad mini

Rumors that Apple is going to give up proprietary 30-pin devices iOS-go since February of this year. This is confirmed not only the sources in the environment of suppliers but a number of components of the new "apple" devices, lighted on the web lately.

Updated the port receives a more compact size, the number of contacts is reduced to 8 or 19. Publication iMore claims that Apple is going to fall this year to update the interface connector of gadgets running iOS on a new type of slot. His support will not only be the sixth-generation iPhone, but also multimedia player iPod, and iPad mini and its 9.7-inch senior kinsman of the new revision.

“IMore learned that Apple is going to update the entire line of iOS-devices to support the new reduced docking connector. It will, as previously reported, on September 12 at a special event. In addition to the iPhone 5, the new port will have iPod nano, iPod touch, a 7-inch iPad, and iPad updated third generation. "

Recall, last week, a blogger by the name A White Dot has published on the web video, where, allegedly captured an adapter for compactdocking connector , which can get the next generation of iPhone users. Photos and videos are likely fake, but the concept makes sense - Apple will release a separate adapter, which will ensure compatibility of new equipment with old accessories with 30-pin connector.

Flexible batteries come! Another step towards smartphones of the future...

Although this news is not directly linked to the world Samsung, the Korean manufacturer that is precisely at this moment is in the forefront in the development of flexible displays. Imagination of many flexible display is equivalent to smartphones and devices able to bend and change its form if necessary and not highly resistant device capable of withstanding torsion and blows particular. The image of the concept in the opening article is significant in practice and shows how it could be the future of mobile devices. At Nokia World last year we were able to touch a project that Nokia saw absolutely a flexible screen in action and we were pleasantly surprised. So although the flexible screens are already a reality, but not mass still present in the various laboratories and Samsung, the main problem are the other components that need to flex exactly how the display. If the shell if you can find different solutions, hardware, motherboards, and batteries seem especially difficult to "bend".

Arrives, however, a very interesting project which in fact approaches the realization of temporally device shapeshifting. We speak of a flexible battery can be folded, elongated and arched without problems and without the latter losing efficacy. The following video shows the operation:

Hard to say at the moment as a battery of this type can offer in terms of autonomy, but it is a concrete step in the direction of the flexible smartphone which Samsung is now leading the industry although it is still a market that needs to go. The screens are there, even the batteries: the next step will be the hardware and the cost reduction for mass production at commercial level. 2014 too early? Do not just have to wait!
