Is Google about to steal Apple’s best new iPhone 6s feature?

Android hardcore fans rocking Nexus devices are already running Android 6.0Marshmallow, but everyone else is still on Lollipop or earlier Android version. So, it seems premature to talk about Android N, which will be Google’s big operating system update in 2016, and which won’t be detailed until Google’s next I/O developer event that’ll take place in May or June.

But I think the first signs suggesting the iPhone 6s’s 3D Touch feature will make its way to Android next year are already here.

3D Touch will come to Android not because Google has to copy Apple – or the other way around – to offer customers a similar mobile experience, though this argument is also valid.

And it’s not because Samsung and other companies are rumored to be working on 3D Touch functionality for their devices. Android OEMs could simply use pressure-sensitive touchscreen displays in 2016 and add the necessary code themselves to Android, rather than wait for Google. After all, that’s what Samsung and others did for fingerprint sensors long before Google added native support to Android.

In fact, Huawei already has one device that has the hardware to offer users 3D Touch, but it doesn’t have native Android code to support it.

What makes me think there will be 3D Touch in Android N’s future is Google’s policy regarding app design and functionality. It’s more than clear to anyone using Google’s products and services that the company wants to offer a consistent experience to users regardless of the “computer” they use – smartphone, tablet or PC; iOS, Android, Mac, Windows or Chrome.

Google’s apps use Material Design across operating systems, and they generally offer users access to the same features – even if the rollout isn’t simultaneous. For example, Google Maps on Android gets some new features earlier than the iOS version, but iPhone users aren’t left behind for very long.

With that in mind, Google’s efforts to add 3D Touch to its first mobile apps can’t go unnoticed. First Google Drive for iOS and then Chrome for iOS got 3D Touch support. In a matter of days, Google updated two top apps to support the iPhone 6s’ unique new feature.

That means Google developers are taking the time to implement and deploy 3D Touch features for individual apps.

Mind you, Google could easily just ignore 3D Touch for the time being. The 3D Touch feature only provides app shortcuts to users, rather than novel new features. By restricting what developers can do with 3D Touch and only enabling shortcut features, Apple makes sure that it doesn’t create any kind of fragmentation when it comes to overall user experience.

Chrome for iOS will have the same features on the iPhone 6s with 3D Touch enabled and on iPhone 4s without it. 3D Touch simply lets you access some features directly from the home screen rather than opening the app first, or from within an app with Peeks and Pops.

With that in mind, it’s likely that other Google apps for iOS will receive similar treatment in the future. The more popular 3D Touch becomes, the more interested Google – and other developers – will be in adding 3D Touch support to existing apps.

Now, considering Google’s policy regarding app design and feature uniformity, it makes sense that Google is actively looking to develop a 3D Touch-like feature for use in Android, now that it’s offering 3D Touch support to iPhone 6s users. After all, Google probably doesn’t want to find itself in a position where it would provide iPhone owners a feature that isn’t also supported on Android.

Even though 3D Touch is now used only as a shortcut to other features, there’s a lot of potential for Apple’s idea of adding pressure sensors to the display. In the future, when more iOS devices will have 3D Touch displays, chances are that iOS will have even more 3D Touch features in addition to handy system-wide and in-app shortcuts. And the same goes for Android, once Google creates a native version of 3D Touch – whatever the company ends up calling it.

Meanwhile, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus owners can test out Google’s Chrome and Drive apps with new 3D Touch features. Google Drive for iOS lets users quickly upload photos and search for content inside Drive with 3D Touch gestures. In Chrome, users can open a new tab or Incognito tab and perform voice searches by pressing firmly on the Chrome app icon.

Google Releases Its List Of Best Apps Of 2015 With Regional Focus And Some Questionable Choices

Every year toward December, Google releases a list of the best apps it recommends from the Play Store. It's a great way for Android newcomers to discover interesting apps they might want to install on their devices and for platform veterans to find apps that might have flown under their radar. This year's list is out, divided in 8 categories of 5 apps each, with a few added at the top, but the choices are if anything, a little weird.

You'll likely see different lists according to where you live. Some apps seem to be globally recommended like Skype, Google Photos, Twitch, and djay, while others will differ based on where you're consulting the list from. In some regions, there might even be a "Made in" category, like "Made in the USA" or "Made in Arabia."

But from the looks of it, it seems that these lists where generated based on downloads, ratings, and popularity in their respective category. It doesn't look like any apps were carefully curated at all. In the US, Twitter gets recommended as one of the best communication apps of 2015 and we all know that the official client's interface, although functional, is nothing to write about. In Lebanon, I see Telegram in the list, which is a much more interesting app to highlight in my opinion. However, most of the tools and productivity choices in Lebanon are emoji keyboard apps — a far cry from productivity. Backgrounds HD somehow makes it into the personalization category both in the US and in Lebanon, but despite the huge choice of wallpapers available in it, it's nowhere near the best app among the competition. Papuh and Backdrops (among others) would certainly be more intriguing if someone did their homework diligently, Backgrounds HD is just popular because it's been on Android for years and has always stayed toward the top of the downloads list in its category.

Peruse the list in your locale and you'll see some apps with very basic Material Design implementations (not that MD is the be-all end-all of design, but there are much better apps with excellent MD that would have been worth recommending), some with rather bad design choices that don't even approach MD or anything, and some clients for very specific services. There's very little to discover and even less to enjoy.

All in all, I doubt you'd find anything really out of the ordinary in the Best of 2015 list, just popular apps getting more time in the spotlight instead of interesting and unknown choices. I remember when Google picked SeriesGuide a few years ago and everyone was astonished because it was an underground app, but SeriesGuide was awesome and it deserved it. Those times seem to be long gone.

Google is making it easier for more games to come to Chromecast

Google wants more mobile game developers to create versions of their apps for TVs, and today the company released a free tool for developers using the Unity game engine to do that without having to design separate software. The Google Cast Remote Display plugin, as it's called, will make the process of streaming a game from a mobile device to a TV easier via the company's inexpensive Chromecast device. This way, developers only have to configure the game for a larger screen and players should be able to "cast" it to the big screen the same way one would stream a Netflix show.

It makes sense for Google to cater to Unity developers. Unity is far and away the most widely used game design toolkit in the world due mostly to its ease of use for creating and running mobile games. But Google has a few words of advice on game design. For instance, developers should create TV experiences that don't require the user to look back and forth between screens too often, Google says. It also urges developers to think about how to smartly map control schemes — like letting a mobile device become a motion controller — so users can more comfortably play. The company released a set of design guidelines today to ensure developers take these rules into account and use the Remote Display plugin in a consistent manner.

Rumor: Apple has an updated 4-inch iPhone due early next year

It could combine the power (and metal) of new iPhones with the smaller size of older ones.

Want a handset with Apple's fancy new A9 processor, a colorful metal case and a slightly smaller display? GHI Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo says you're going to get one. According to the analyst's latest research, Apple is on track to launch a 4-inch Apple 5 successor in early 2016 -- painting the picture of a device with the same A9 processor as the iPhone 6s, NFC support for Apple Pay, a metal case with multiple color options and a $400-500 off-contract price tag aimed at the budget market.

If real, the device could be a welcome followup to Apple's "unapologetically plastic" 5c smartphone -- retaining the smaller footprint of the iPhone 5/6 and still integrating some of the best tweaks introduced with the 6s. Still, take the rumor with a grain of salt: Ming-Chi Kuo has a decent track record when it comes to Apple predictions, but he isn't always right.

Review: Topaz curved glass iPhone screen protector

Many screen protectors, particularly glass ones, don’t go over the curved edge of the iPhone’s screen. Today we’re taking a look at one that does.

The Facts

Company: WinnerGear
Product: Topaz
Price: $39.99 (discounts available, see details below)
Compatibility: iPhone 6/6s, iPhone 6 Plus/6s Plus
Colors: Clear with white or black bezel
Date: Dec. 3, 2015

Overview

I’ve used quite a few screen protectors on my iPhones over the years. I’ve tried plastic and glass, shiny and matte, dry and wet-install. Lately, I’ve been into the glass screen protectors, as they offer the closest approximation of the “naked” screen experience. There are no wrinkles or impaired clarity with a glass screen protector. They do add a bit of weight to the iPhone, but since it’s such a light phone that doesn’t bother me.

Most glass screen protectors are completely flat, which means they end well short of the iPhone’s curved edges. Having unprotected screen edges might not matter much, particularly for someone using a case with a substantial lip over the screen. But many people would prefer more edge-to-edge protection, and that means the screen protector must be curved like the iPhone’s screen.

Here is the Topaz screen protector before installation.

WinnerGear recently ran a successful Indiegogo campaign to bring their Topaz glass screen protector to market. They claim that their fill glass nano-technology makes their product more durable, smooth, fingerprint-resistant, and anti-bacterial.

I’m not going to test their durability claims by purposely scratching the screen with keys or hitting it with a hammer, but I do find it to be very smooth and less prone to fingerprints than most screen protectors. I can’t test the anti-bacterial claims, but I try not to put my phone in situations where it would pick up germs.

The screen protector isn’t totally clear; the bezel is colored to match (or contrast with, if that’s your preference) your iPhone’s. I chose white to match my rose gold iPhone’s white bezel, but if you wanted to mix things up by getting black instead, you could. Just keep in mind that since your home button isn’t covered, it will stand out by being the original color.

I used the hinge method to install the Topaz and was able to install it cleanly in just about a minute. There were some big bubbles when I first installed it, but they were mostly gone 12 hours later. I still have three tiny bubbles under the screen; I can’t tell if they are air or dust.

The screen protector installed on my phone, with a case on as well

Screen coverage is better than other glass protectors I’ve used. One disadvantage to having such complete screen protection is that it limits your use of cases. I tried a case that had a good-sized lip over the edge of the screen, and that didn’t work; it forced the screen protector to come up off the screen. I have since switched to a case that doesn’t have that lip, and the combo works well. 3D touch works right through the Topaz.

Bottom line

I like this screen protector. It feels very much like using a naked display, other than the added weight. You can buy the Topaz for iPhone 6/6s or iPhone 6 Plus/6s Plus directly from WinnerGear for $39.99; currently the coupon code BLACKWINNER will get you 40 percent off. You can also purchase the iPhone 6/6s model in either black or white fromAmazon for $29.99.

iPhone 6, iPhone 5s top most popular cameras used on Flickr in 2015

The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 5s were by far the most popular cameras on Flickr during 2015, the photo-sharing service announced during its regular Year in Review feature.

All together iPhones accounted for 42 percent of the photos posted, according to gathered EXIF metadata. Canon DSLRs accounted for 27 percent, while Nikon DSLRs managed 16 percent.

Combined, 39 percent of photos and videos were shot with some form of camera-equipped phone. After the iPhone 6 and 5s, however, there was a rapid dropoff in device popularity, with the iPhone 5, iPhone 6 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S5 vying for third place.

iPhones have enjoyed dominance on Flickr for some time, a consequence of the popularity of Apple devices and the higher likelihood of someone having a smartphone with them rather than a dedicated camera. 

Point-and-shoot cameras have largely faded into the background as smartphones have narrowed the middleground between them and DSLRs. They were however used to capture 25 percent of Flickr's photos and videos this year, with Sony's RX100 being the top model.

5 Reasons to Check Out LinkedIn's New Mobile App

LinkedIn's mobile app was in dire need of an overhaul, and it finally got one today with the long overdue launch of its redesigned apps for Android and iOS. The streamlined app experience still doesn't include access to the advanced search, groups, job hunting, and LinkedIn Pulse functionality siloed in other apps within LinkedIn's social media app bundle. But the main app's user interface (UI), messaging, profile editing, and connection feed are vastly improved.

For me, one of the most frustrating aspects of LinkedIn's longstandingiPhone app was that it still felt like a desktop application shrunk onto a smartphone-sized screen. There were enough design tweaks to make it usable, but the static-feeling pages, uniform scrolling feeds, and a bulky navigation pane with a couple of mobile buttons and icons on top gave the impression of a cheap facelift. That's essentially what the updates were as LinkedIn's last major Android and iOS upgrades happened in 2013.

I played around with the updated app on my iPhone so this walkthrough doesn't cover any Android-specific features. That said, the iOS app packs a significantly deeper level of control over profile curation and networking. This update shows LinkedIn is serious about creating a full-featured mobile platform for the growing contingent of business users who have left desktop behind. Here are five additions of note:

1. Finally, Intuitive Design

The redesigned app has a cleaner layout, borrowing UI and user experience (UX) design principles from social networking apps, news apps, and games, and has even adopted aspects of app culture's latest design craze: Tinder-like swiping functionality. LinkedIn didn't reinvent the wheel but, tapping around the iOS app, I found the UI has finally caught up with the times. The minimalist Share bar atop the Home tab is a straight-up Facebook clone, in a good way. You can write a post, mention colleagues, toggle privacy, and add photos and links without having to think about how it will appear. LinkedIn seems to finally understand that the sharing process should be ubiquitous across social apps.

Even starker is the switch to card-based design in the Home and My Network feeds. Again looking like an extension of Facebook, LinkedIn's post and update feeds are now clearly delineated boxes appearing onscreen one at a time, with link previews and like, comment, and share options. Cards have emerged as the most easily digestible, shareable visual element to keep a mobile user's attention, and interacting with LinkedIn cards is now straightforward. My favorite new design element, though, is the card stack atop the My Network tab. Swiping left or right on compact cards is a far more fun way to whizz through connections' new jobs, work anniversaries, added skills, and birthdays—especially when a lot of the updates aren't necessarily relevant. If LinkedIn's information itself is going to remain cluttered, at least you can have fun decluttering.

---

2. More Natural Messaging 
Messaging in LinkedIn has improved steadily on desktop over the past year or so, away from the antiquated feel of InMail, and mobile has finally made the leap as well. Messaging is now similar toFacebook Messenger andWhatsApp in that it feels more like natural texting, with clear, circular profile icons, simple date and time stamps on messages, an option to toggle notifications on and off for conversations, and LinkedIn's own version of emoji stickers—though, at launch, the selection is pretty bare. Sending smiley-faced coffee cups and professional cat emojis through LinkedIn does feel somewhat out of place for the "professional" social network, but with GIFs and emoji reactions now commonplace in workplace productivity applications such as Slack, LinkedIn is no longer content to be boring.

---

3. No-Hassle Profile Editing

The main reason I was always reticent to add major profile updates such as a new job via mobile was the fear that the app's clunky editor would screw it up. In the new Me tab, LinkedIn gives you a circular + icon similar to the Compose function in Google's revamped Inbox. When pressed, a clear form pops up to allow you to add a new work experience, education, skills, etc., on your profile, and gives you a preview of how it will render on your public page. The same goes for the pencil icon in the top right-hand corner of each card on your profile to update existing content. The Me tab also gives you a handy information bar showing you how many profile views you've received in the past 90 days (which opens into a card-based list), and how many views your posts have received. It drives home the "social" element of how you're perceived on LinkedIn in a far more transparent way. The clearer workflow and update process isn't revolutionary by any stretch, but the profile-editing update fixed a core issue that had been plaguing LinkedIn's mobile app.

---

4. Networking Bells and Whistles 
When it comes down to actually seeking out and connecting with new people, I found the My Network and Search tabs much improved. LinkedIn stated its internal search is now 300 times faster. While I can't confirm that number right now, search results populated for me within a second or two (and now with much deeper tools for refining the data). I was able to drill down by first, second, or third connections, as well as by location, current company, or industry from within the mobile search box. For this level of search refinement before, the desktop site was your only option. You can also sync your phone contacts and calendar to find new connections, and the app helps you prepare for upcoming meetings by surfacing a snapshot of the parties' profiles. Another small but not insignificant change is your connection list, which is now laid out far more clearly in an iPhone-like, vertical A-Z format.

---

5. Not Sold On App Bundling

Alright, I lied. I've only listed four cool new features. As much of an improvement as LinkedIn's new mobile app is, I still don't agree with the company's strategy of bundling core platform features into separate apps. On the top right-hand side of the Home tab is a small grid icon, which calls up a sidebar prompting you to download LinkedIn's half dozen other apps (i.e., Job Search, Groups, Pulse, Slideshare, Lynda.com, and Lookup). The app-bundling strategy works for some companies—Facebook has turned Messenger into one of the most popular apps in the App Store and Google Play Store—but, for LinkedIn, it has always and still feels disjointed from a UX standpoint, particularly after revamping its main app.

LinkedIn Pulse, Lynda.com, and Slideshare are separate enough entities with diverging focuses worthy of standalone apps. But Job Search and Lookup are both now superfluous given the improvements to built-in search, and those capabilities could easily be integrated. Real-world job search results for recruiters and talent is what LinkedIn has always sold itself on, and clinging to a separate app for that core user purpose is a mistake. I would argue that Groups should be folded into its own tab within the main app as well, giving users quicker access to LinkedIn's extensive network of professional communities, rather than giving the impression that the communities are a separate component to the social network. Integrating another search parameter to filter by communities would be even better. Bundling is a worthwhile strategy to give certain apps a wider reach by segmenting their use cases, but for LinkedIn to take that final step toward true mobile usability, they've got to unbundle and consolidate.
