Apple will double 'iPhone 7' minimum storage to 32GB - report
TurboPGT said:thewhitefalcon said:It's really not. You lose 4GB off the top to formatting and the OS's needs. Factor in 4k video and high resolution photos, increasing app sizes...it gets tight quickly.
Recently, the margins on 32 GB NAND flash came down enough so that Apple won't be giving up too much revenue by moving over to it...so now is the time.

Actually, there is something new about Apple's upcoming iPhone 7

For example, he talks about iPhone sales this year as though everything is fine. It's not. Last quarters' iPhones sales fell by 16%. No matter how it's spun, that's just not ok. Sales were expected to be flat, not significantly down. He talks as thought they were, in fact, flat. Whether we like it or not, the new features of the 6S and 6S+ weren't considered to be all that interesting by the general buying public, and that includes many iPhone owners.
The mistake that you're making here, and in some other points, is drawing the conclusion that a sales drop is primarily due to the features/innovation. You don't actually know that. Nobody knows that. In fact, if you look at the flagship smartphone market as a whole, it's unlikely that's the case. Samsung has basically resorted to 2 for 1 deals to increase S7 sales volume. That doesn't exactly show confidence from Samsung in regards to any new hardware/software features they might include vs. the iPhone.

Major weakness in Google's key storage breaks open Android's Full Disk Encryption

It is turned on by default on Samsung flagship phones.
This constant 'holier than thou' shit from DED is both tiresome and stupid.
Yet, macOS, Linux, even Windows get regular software updates to close vulnerabilities. Not so with for most Android devices.
No Mac with an Intel CPU is 'secure' as they all contain the Intel Management Engine - potentially the mother of all backdoors. Have you heard of DROPOUTJEEP?
This would be the third or fourth time DED has pushed this boat out. I would not be surprised if there were people in the NSA, at GCHQ, Mossad, etc, who just laugh.
The main problem with Android is allowing Network providers a say in it's content and distribution. They should curtail that practice ASAP. Android users who buy non-Chinese manufacturer made flagships are probably pretty secure. Those devices do get fairly regular security updates. The Android customers who are using anything else probably don't need much security anyway or don't care.
Security is more of an ideal, than a reality.

Researchers sneak password-stealing app into Apple Store to demonstrate threat.

Technique lets rogue apps ask for keychain access, then click OK.

On Tuesday, Ars chronicled an OS X technique that's being actively used by an underhanded piece of adware to access people's Mac keychain without permission. Now there's evidence the underlying weakness has been exploited for four years.
