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.

Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the  Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well,  Apple . In a series of photos posted to his  website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras. Similar to a typical quadcopter, the Apple drone has four rotors and four cameras that can shoot still and panoramic photos (up to 100MP). The concept, which was first spotted by  CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...

Apple Car

Could This Be The Apple Car? There’s been plenty written about the potential Apple car. Now, though, we have an interesting guess as to what it might look like when it hits the road. This version is quintessentially Apple with smooth lines, tons of technology, and that iconic Apple logo prominently featured. These Apple car concepts were drawn up by  CarWow ,and they include both interior and exterior design possibilities. It starts by taking a cue from Tesla with an absentee grille and flowing, aerodynamic lines that look a bit like the Magic Mouse. Colors are white, black, and gold in a nod to the newest iPhones with carbon-fiber reinforced plastics that include a coating to keep dirt from marring that perfect finish. The wheels are designed to cut drag and look good. The interior is where it suddenly looks like no other car. There’s a fingerprint-reading home button on the driver and passenger front doors and it’s all unlocked from the outside with a left to rig...

Cool Down

Cool Down Your Android Phone With a Tap An overheating phone is bad news for your battery life, your palms and the internal components inside your device. Fortunately, there's an Android app that can help, shutting down some non-essential system tasks and background processes to give your handset the chance to cool off. You can choose from a one-tap quick fix or a more detailed manual mode. The app in question is  EaseUS Coolphone  and it offers several ways to wave a metaphorical fan in front of your phone's face. You can tap the quick cool button on the app's opening screen, via the app's one-button widget or from the app's entry in the notification drawer. After a few moments of scanning, you can choose to apply the changes suggest by the app. It will look for apps running in the background that don't necessarily have to be there, as well as settings that can be turned off to reduce the work your phone's doing. If you find these changes t...
