No Apple iPad Air 3 this 2015?

Looking forward to getting your hands on a new iPad this year? Sadly, according to a report, Apple will not release the iPad Air 3 (iPad Air 2 shown below) this 2015. The news comes to us courtesy of DigiTimes. It reports: China-based tablet supply chain makers such as Holitech, Shenzhen DPT-Touch and Silead, in view of decreasing orders from China-based white-box vendors, have been seeking orders for other applications such as smartphones, industrial control, automotive devices and wearables, according to industry sources. The sources pointed out that Apple has turned conservative about its tablet product line and is not planning to release a next-generation model to replace the existing iPad Air tablet; however, Apple is ready to release its fourth-generation iPad mini and the related supply chain is already preparing the device s components. The fourth-generation model will only have a few small upgrades from the third-generation one. Since demand for tablets has not been as strong

Reasons why you should get the Samsung Galaxy S6 instead of the LG G4

Trying to decide whether you should get your hands on the Samsung Galaxy S6/Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge or the LG G4? If making the choice between the two is proving to be difficult, PhoneArena has come up with 7 reasons on why you should get Samsung s new flagship instead of LG s. Here they are: 1. The cold touch of metal and glass is your thing An obvious thing from first glance – both manufacturers went with different materials for their flagships. The G4 s more expensive variant has the warm and stylish leather back, while Samsung stuck to industrial design, binding beautiful metal and glass. Simple choice here – if the latter sounds more like how your dream handset should look and feel, scratch 1 point for Samsung. 2. Size and portability The G4 has the superior screen-to-body ratio, sure, but a 5.5 screen still wants its real estate and LG s offering is definitely larger and thicker (5.86 x 3.00 x 0.39 inches (148.9 x 76.1 x 9.8 mm)) than the Galaxy S6 (5.65 x 2.78 x 0.27 inches
