http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/68358169eedc694a7b71368c476fb752.jpgAfter months of controversy surrounding its Autopilot software, Tesla last week provided a number of details regarding its long-awaited update to its Autopilot software. As we covered previously, one of the more interesting aspects regarding version 8 of Tesla's Autopilot software is that it will rely more heavily on the car’s radar in order to detect upcoming road obstacles. The entire version 8.0 update is said to make for a much more intelligent Autopilot experience, with Elon Musk even going so far as to say that the upcoming software update could have very well prevented the tragic crash …

Android user switches to iPhone 7 from pure Android and has some surprising opinions

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c90b2571f98e709e362c477310bc7493.jpgOne of the reasons why analysts are so quick to call new iPhone releases boring is because they often look at a new device from the perspective of someone who already the owns previous model. So when the iPhone 6S was released, for example, and everyone said that it didn't really bring anything new to the table, most analysts overlooked the fact that most buyers were coming over from the 5S. That being the case, most iPhone 6S buyers did find the device to be a compelling upgrade. (more…) Trending right now: iPhone 7 vs. Galaxy Note 7 speed test: This is just embarrassing… How to se…

If you believed the team of Jobs disciples on stage, there's no way you could pass up the iPhone 7 Plus's dual camera system. But believe me, the iPhone 7 on its own is more than enough camera for anyone.

6 months later, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 edge is still the best Android phone of the year

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/01761416cc4520fa382880746d460b8b.jpg There is a distinct possibility that when all is said and done in 2016, Samsung's Galaxy S7 edge will be the hottest smartphone that was released all year. That's pretty crazy when you stop to consider the fact that the phone was first released all the way back in March of this year; as fast as technology progresses these days, the best phone of 2016 may end up having been unveiled in the second month of 2016 and released in the third month of the year. The Note 7 might have stolen the S7 edge's crown, but ExplosiveBallOfFireGate squashed any chances it might would have had, for the time bei…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/67147c6877efa10a20cc10cea6098dc8.jpgShortly after reports of exploding Galaxy Note 7 units began hitting the internet late last month, Samsung issued a worldwide recall of the smartphone. Whether or not you have a potentially faulty Note 7, you can exchange it for a loaner device right away, providing you bought it from a retailer or wireless carrier. Unfortunately, if you bought the new phablet from Samsung.com, you might be out of luck, as one Note 7 owner found out over the weekend.

But top-level stats aren't everything, and a deeper dive into the technology behind the new display and the results it gives tells a rather exciting story. DisplayMate Technologies has been doing thorough analysis of iPhone screens since the early days of smartphones. This year, they put the iPhone 7 through the same battery of tests to find out how the older LCD technology stacks up against the newer competition. (more…) Trending right now: Exploding Galaxy …

Yes, we're still expecting Google to release its new Pixel and Pixel XL sometime next month, but they won't exactly be mass-market smartphones. Among the big names in the business, 2016's flagship lineup is now complete, and there are really only three smartphones that can be considered the stars of the show right now.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7afe0b730f51c9f15df3c2378d707f4e.jpgSamsung has a little tiny $1 billion problem on its hands. In case you haven't heard, Samsung's latest flagship smartphone — which would otherwise be the most impressive phablet the world has ever seen — has a tendency to explode. A seemingly small number of the 2.5 million or so Galaxy Note 7 handsets that were built have problems with the battery. This problem, unfortunately, is a huge one that can cause the phones to explode while they're charging. We've seen these Note 7 explosions destroy cars and even burn down a house, and Samsung had no choice but to issue a global recall as a result. …

The commercial is arguably one of the best Apple ads we've seen in some time as it cleverly hits all the important Apple Music selling points while also delivering some bona fide laughs. The commercial stars James Corden and features Apple executives Jimmy Iovine, Eddy Cue and Bozoma Saint John brainstorming ideas during an ad meeting.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e41c022afae5daa5610df4989f613c73.jpgThe Galaxy Note 7 has been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster for Samsung. Following a seemingly endless number of reports involving Note 7 devices catching fire or even exploding, Samsung took an unprecedented step of issuing a global recall for its flagship device earlier this month. An official Note 7 recall program through the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was initiated last week. As expected, Samsung urged consumers to stop using their devices altogether and to power down any Galaxy Note 7 units purchased before September 15. Incidentally, Samsung has since claimed th…
