As per report. iPad Mini 3 will be
termed as ‘iPad Mini Air’. It seems like Apple is now using ‘Air’ term
in its variants names. Previously, we also learnt that 5.5-inch iPhone
would be called ‘iPhone Air’. The new iPad Mini will be thinner than the
previous iPad Mini 2 which was 0.29 inches. This will definitely make
the new variant lighter. Other details specify regarding the chipset and
the screen size. iPad Mini 3 will possible run on new A8 chip. The
screen size will be around 7.9-inches.
It’s quite early to say something
regarding the new iPad Mini 3. If things goes according to the plan,
still the release will be in last quarter of the year. Some reports also
say that Apple is now favouring iPad Mini 3 and iPad Air 2, delaying
iPad Pro or 12.9-inches iPad.
Microsoft may be in concern, what to bring this year. But well, this is
not a matter at all as far as Tech Giant Apple is concerned. This year,
Apple has got lot in its pockets. From revamped iOS versions to new
Macbooks, the Cupertino is set to launch all. Other than iOS 8, OS X Yosemite, iPhone 6, iPad Air 2 & iPad Pro, Apple may make iPad Mini 3 debut this year. The new report has come from GforGames. The report has also given some leaks regarding the new iPad Mini variant.

Quite often, IT companies surprise us with their decisions. Most
recently, Apple amazed all of us with its iOS 8 upcoming features.
Before that, Nokia (which is now NokiabyMicrosoft) left us in
many thoughts when it announced Nokia X series, running on forked
Android platform. There were questions, straightaway, by the critics
regarding the launch. Even, we were not able to understand the logic
behind this. Now, it seems Microsoft has admitted it a ‘miscued’ plan
and has decided to kill Nokia X series!
This is leaked by an internal memo of Microsoft. The memo claims that
Microsoft has put Nokia X development along with Asha and Series 40 in
‘maintenance mode’, means no more in development. Gradually, Microsoft
will kill Nokia X series, Asha phones and Series 40 during 18 months
period. Microsoft will replace these handsets with low, mid and high-end
Windows Phones.
Nokia X series was launched five months ago at MWC 2014. The company
introduced three handsets in the series i.e. Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia
XL. Later on, in June, Nokia X2 was also added. The introduction was
made during the partnership talks between Nokia and Microsoft. As per
Asha and Series 40, both are Nokia’s featured phones for small markets.
They will also be ended next year.
The announcement to kill Nokia X series has already affected the
sales of the handsets. Surely, this will result in minimizing the prices
of Nokia X series too. Moreover, there are also some words regarding
Nokia MixRadio service. The service is also now no more in development.
Microsoft plans to sell this service to a third party.
Microsoft is takings some big decision to increase its Windows Phone
OS popularity. The firm is already in talks with other OEMs to introduce
high-end Windows Phones in the market. But well, one thing that I have
noted, Microsoft is too slow in updating its Windows Phone platform. WP
8.1 has not been rolled out completely yet. It’s time for Microsoft to
speed up its WP updates and equip Windows Phone platform with all the
main features.

After the rise of planet of apes, the director has finally carved the
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes to the big screens. The director
accomplishes to do at least three things remarkably well that are hard
enough to pull off individually: Maintain a rumbling level of tension
without let-up for two hours, seriously rally on a very good first entry
in a franchise and produce a authoritative humanistic proclamation
using a ominously simian cast of typescripts.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes picks up an intact decade after the
end of the earlier film, and the horrors of those tenyears have been
alluded to in the trailers by Gary Oldman’s character which is a wise
move. Starring impactful characters like Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman, Jason
Clarke, Judy Greer, Keri Russell, Kodi Smit-McPhee this movie revolves
around a mounting nation of genetically developed apes led by Caesar, is
threatened by a band of human stayers of the shattering virus unbridled
a decade earlier. They reach a crumbly peace, but it proves
short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brim of a war that will
regulate who will arise as Earth’s dominant species.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is finally arriving in theaters on 11th
July. It was made on a comparatively limited budget. Dawn of the Planet
of the Apes is filled with incredibly powerful and divergent
personalities & remarkably many of its performances are digitally
constructed. Nothing can stop the hysteria train for Dawn of the Planet
of the Apes now, because it is described as everything from ruthless to a
true cinematic masterpiece, with splendidness.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes picks up ten years after the end of Rise
of the Planet of the Apes. Human civilization has been emaciated by the
spread of the Simian Flu, which scrapped the population of humanity to a
mere shadow of its former self, even as Caesar’s community of
intelligent apes grew in forte. After years of sickness and in-fighting
among humans, the two tribes clash once more and must decide whether to
declare war or peace. Although the trailers and movie title have
already kind of given away the direction that they eventually find
themselves heading in.
Matt
Reeves’ phenomenal feature weaves the technological mastery of Weta
together with uniformly strong performances and an intellectual script,
for a film that is as opulent philosophically as it is aesthetically.
Though speckled with moments of flippancy, DOTPOTA is a thought
provoking and striking dialogue on the concept of trust which hits no
wrong notes. Full reviews for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes are almost
universally positive.

Fast & Furious has always been a joy to watch. Not only for car
lovers, but also due to the chemistry on the set of movie. Although
mishaps happened and we lost Paul Walker along the way. Although the
fictional Fast world turned upside down. But this did not stopped the production of Fast & Furious 7.
But
the question is, could Fast & Furious 7 be the gang’s final ride?
No one would have assumed that after the critically acclaimed and
financially successful Fast & Furious raced through multiplexes in
2013. On almost every level, the sequel looked like an upswing and Fast
& Furious 6 was primed to be a hit.
The series regained enough
of its footing to complete the movie, with a lot of moving parts. But
there is hopefully enough stability to give Walker’s character, Brian
O’Conner, a proper farewell. Will it be the finale of the Fast franchise
as well? For now, that is a question for another day. Let’s talk about
the release date of the movie, which has been delayed: Release Date:
The
date, as mentioned, has been changed. Even after the delay created by
the death of Paul Walker, Universal felt comfortable to announce April
10, 2015 as the release date of Fast & Furious 7. It has been now a
trend of the Hollywood industry system to push the “Summer” blockbuster
season a little earlier each year. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
is an example to that, which was released on April 4.
Maybe
Universal realized that the date can really help out for a sequel? And
maybe the seventh installment is farther along in production than was
believed. This is because the studio just announced that fans will get
to see the movie one week earlier. This means, Fast & Furious 7 will
hit the theaters on April 3, 2015.

As per rumors, Microsoft is currently
working on 3D Touch user interface. The new touch interface will come
with APIs that includes gestures, side interactions and heat maps.
Third party developers will also be able to make use of this new 3D
Touch technology. Microsoft will unveil this new 3D Touch technology
with two handsets. The two 3D Touch phones, possibly Microsoft Mclaren
and Lumia 1525m will arrive later this year.
The
first one will release in October this year. The 3D Touch phone Mclaren
will feature some real powerful specs i.e. 5.2-inch quad-HD display
with 2560×1440 resolution and 20 MP camera. The 3D Touch device
will have internal storage up to 64GB. As per second 3D Touch phone,
Lumia 1525 is scheduled to launch at the end of the year. It will come
with 6-inch display and updated hardware i.e. Snapdragon 801 (as
compared to Lumia 1520). Most probably, Microsoft will equip this giant
handset with its new 3D Touch interface.
It
seems like this 3D Touch feature will only be included in high-end
Lumia devices so to justify their price. Both 3D Touch phones will be
pricy due to the 3D touch technology and high-end specs. Microsoft is
trying to provide all available latest features so that to remain in
competition with Android and iOS devices.
That’s all, we have at the moment! We will keep you aware of more updates as we get our hands on them! Stay tuned to TheNerdMag!
