iPhone 7 features

Sapphire Glass – According to the last rumors, the new iPhone may feature Sapphire glass instead of Corning’s Gorilla glass that is being used in current iPhone. Sapphire glass is pretty much tough glass which is not easily breakable and the company is already using it in iWatch. It would be a fair decision if Apple decides to use the same glass in new iPhone as well. As per Macworld, Apple is backing Arizona-based plant run by G T Advanced Technologies that can be used to manufacture iPhone display.

Button-less design – The company may ditch its traditional design and come up with all new button-less design for its new iPhone. The home button which is being used in current iPhone can be eliminated completely to provide bigger space on the screen.

Wireless Charging – The rivals like Samsung is already offering wireless charging facility to the customer which is pretty much convenient. Samsung Galaxy S6 edge can be charged wirelessly and the customers have appreciated this facility. Apple can’t afford to lag behind its rivals and it makes sense for the company to allow iPhone 7 charge wirelessly.

Improved iSight Camera – To enhance the picture quality, Apple might use iSight camera which will help you take a bright and clear picture through its anticipated 13-megapixel primary camera. The iPhone will be able to take a pretty much better picture through its 8-megapixel secondary camera as well.

Water and dust proof – To give maximum protection to such premium device, the California-based techie planning to make iPhone  Water as well as dust proof. According to the rumors, the phone will be waterproofed to iP67 standard which is meant for making devices water and dust proof. As per IP67, the device wouldn’t get damaged if it submerged under 1-meter water for 30 mins.

OLED display – The latest rumors suggest that the iPhone may feature OLED display instead of LCD which is currently being used. OLED screen generates its own light to illuminate however LCD screen requires a backlight to glow.

What will the next iPhone be called? iPhone, iPhone 7 or iPhone Pro?

The next iPhone is widely expected to be called the iPhone 7, following Apple’s usual strategy of launching a new model number one year and appending an S the next (in 2015 we saw the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, so it follows that in September 2016 we should see the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus).

Until now, that is. Evan Blass, aka @evleaks, is perhaps one of the most reliable tipsters we’ve come across, and he is calling for people to stop calling the 2016 iPhone the iPhone 7. Blass says it is highly unlikely Apple will use this name since the next iPhone is thought to be largely unchanged from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s.

Confusion for Bloggers as Adsense Payments are Declined

Confusion for Bloggers as Adsense Payments are Declined

Bloggers in Pakistan went into confusion as Adsense payments were declined this month.

The issue cropped up for people who were using Western Union as a method to receive their Adsense payments. Usually, Adsense payments go through automatically by the 25th of each month. However this month, users were instead notified of a payment error:

AUTOMATIC PAYMENT DECLINED:WESTERN UNION FOR ($XXX.XX). NO REASON PROVIDED BY YOUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION

PAYMENT DECLINED: WE WERE UNABLE TO CHARGE YOURPAYMENT METHOD.

A lot of freelancers and bloggers in Pakistan rely on Western Union to receive their payments and the internet was flooded with comments and reports of the error.

We should mention that this is not the first time an issue with Western Union has come up. Last year, they stopped all Adsense payments to Pakistani accounts but the issue was resolved within a few days. But it was altogether a different matter.

The good thing is that Google might already be aware of the issue. According to a user onWiredPakistan, they released a statement that said:

WE’RE EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF WESTERN UNION PAYMENTS THAT WE’RE SENDING THROUGH OUR NEW PAYMENTS SYSTEM THIS MONTH, PRIMARILY TO PUBLISHERS IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION. A SMALL NUMBER (~5%) OF THE PAYMENTS WE SENT TO PUBLISHERS IN THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES WERE INCORRECTLY DECLINED BY WESTERN UNION AND NEED TO BE RE-ISSUED.

NO ACTION IS REQUIRED ON YOUR PART. WE ARE WORKING WITH WESTERN UNION TO Complete THE CONFIGURATION CHANGES AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY REISSUE THE PAYMENTS. WE EXPECT TO COMPLETE THIS IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

AFFECTED COUNTRIES:

• Egypt
• Saudi Arabia
• Cambodia
• China
• Indonesia
• Malaysia
• Nepal
• Pakistan
• Philippines
• Singapore
• South Korea
• Taiwan
• Thailand
• Vietnam

THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE, AND WE’RE WORKING TO RESOLVE THIS QUICKLY 

However, we have not been able to verify whether this statement was released after the current wave ofissues or due to a previous occurrence. We will update the story as soon as we know one way or the other. Even with the statement, a time frame for resolution of the issue has not been established yet.

We hope that Google tries to send the payments through after the issue is resolved. There is also a chance that payments for this month are deferred to January, which would be a disaster for many bloggers.

Are you facing the same issues or are your payments going through just fine? Let us know in the comments below.
