POINT OUT GADGETS » BIPIN What To Expect In 2014 Apple iPhone 6 The new iPhone will reportedly measure only 6 millimeters thick. For comparison, the current iPhone 5S has a depth of 7.6 mm and the old-school iPhone 3GS is a seemingly clunky brick by 2014 standards, measuring in at over 12 mm thick. The iPhone 6 release date could be delayed until September, and an iPhone phablet is also rumored to be released to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in May, according to new reports out this week. The report indicates that the iPhone phablet will not come with Apple’s upcoming A8 SoC, but instead will feature the iPhone 5S’s 64-bit A7 processor. It was also rumored that the iPhone phablet will feature a massive screen to rival that of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, which has been receiving rave reviews across the globe, and could land with a screen of 5.7 inches or larger. Another report from a Chinese Web site said that there would be two iPhones coming in 2014 – one with a 4.7-inch screen and another with a 5.7-inch display, or bigger. Apple has of course, remained silent on all rumors concerning future devices as usual, but most analysts assume any future smartphones released this year will retain the TouchID fingerprint sensor as seen on the iPhone 5S. Other rumors suggest Apple will continue down that route, and also offer an eye scanner as additional security. Apple iWatch What time is it? If you check your smartwatch, you may find that it’s a text message past a Twitter notification but if you check the zeitgeist, you’ll find that it’s wearable tech time. After more than a year of relegation to ‘next big thing’ status, the smartwatch is finally breaking out into the mainstream with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Gear and Sony Smartwatch 2 following where Kickstarter phenomenon Pebble led. Rumors of an Apple smartwatch have abounded since Pebble first hit the big time. The so-called iWatch has so far failed to materialise in but will we see Apple get in on the wrist-worn game in 2014? The iWatch price is misery. Nobody but one anonymous analyst who had a stab at pricing reckons somewhere between $149 and $229 (£100 to £150 / AU$167 - AU$250) as the likely tag. Affordable 3D Printers Like anywhere else in the world, 3D printing in India is really picking up for making prototype as well as for making mainstream products in the market. There is a lot of research by Z Corporation and CADD centre in India for making sophisticated printing machines. This technology is slowly coming up in India and is being used by the research team in manufacturing, architecture, education, geographic, information system, healthcare, etc. The 3D printing technology can help provide identical sets of three dimensional physical model at any stage of production without much hassle. This has greatly helped in improving communication, eliminate any errors or miscommunication and thereby save a lot of money and time. Three-dimensional is proving to be an attractive new business for technology entrepreneurs also. Indian entrepreneurs are trying to manufacture 3D printers for as low as Rs 20,000. Global brands that are imported by India range from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh. 56 FEBRUARY 2014
