Apple Loop: iPhone 6 Defeats Galaxy S6, Samsung's A9 Supply Victory, The New iPhone Killer

Mophie Juice Pack Plus for iPhone 6 
Taking a look back at another week of news from Cupertino, this week’s Apple Loop looks at the benchmarking between the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S6, Samsung will be supplying A9 chips to Apple, wireless charging on the next iPhone, happy birthday iPad, Outlook updates itself on iOS, and why the ‘iPhone killer’ is actually the Apple Watch.
Bigger Is Not Always Better As iPhone Defeats Galaxy
It’s not always about the money, or the specifications, but now the iPhone 6 hardware can be tested against the Samsung Galaxy S6 range, there are some curious quirks in the numbers. Gordon Kelly has taken a look at the differences in graphical speed on the two handsets,
"What the tests at the beginning of March found were that Samsung’s new Exynos 7420 chipset, which is at the heart of both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, hammered the Apple A8 which is inside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. 
The problem? That was just a test of the chipset, not the chipset inside the phone. So what is AppleInsider pinning the massive turnaround on? Screen resolution. In a nutshell: it takes a vastly greater overhead to drive the QHD (2560 x 1440) panels inside both new Samsung phones. The panels may be more power efficient, but that’s separate to the demand they place on other components."
The S6 might have the biggest numbers, but Apple is far more focussed on making something that works in the hand, rather than as a marketing bullet point to sell the handset.
Samsung Slips Inside Apple’s Latest Hardware
Bloomberg is reporting that Samsung’s semi-conductor business has won the contract to build the A9 System on Chip for the next-generation iPhone. This will certainly help Samsung’s overall income during 2015, offering a certain level of financial comfort if the Galaxy S6 sales do not live up to expectations:

Get Ready For A Wireless Charging iPhone
With Apple’s yearly release schedule of the iPhone, it’s almost guaranteed that the design of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus is being finalised for production. That means that Jony Ive and his team will be looking to the iPhone 7 (and potentially a 7 Plus or a 7 Mini) and what can be added to the ‘almost magical’ experience.

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of  10 free call apps  to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

Nexus

Huawei and Google reportedly releasing a Nexus phone this fall This year, we may see a first for Google’s line of Nexus Android phones: a Chinese manufacturer.  The Information  reports that Huawei is in line to produce the device, which is said to be planned for fall. It’s not the first we’ve heard of the possibility; IBT said last month that the Huawei Nexus phone was coming, citing an employee at the company’s UK branch, while  Android Police  published a tentative rumor in May suggesting that there would be two Nexus phones this year — a 5.7-inch Huawei device and a 5.2-inch phone from LG. The relationship between Google and Huawei could be mutually beneficial beyond the phone’s co-development.  The Information  claims that talks are in progress for Huawei to help Google bring a mobile app store to China, where government regulations have restricted the search giant from conducting much business of note. HUAWEI COULD HEL...
