iPhone 6s again predicted to get 12MP camera, but with smaller pixels

iphone-6-rose-gold-002

Yet another report from another research firm is predicting the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus will get a 12-megapixel camera upgrade later this year, but it may not be all good news. While pixel count may shoot up, one analyst warns pixel size will come down.

Apple has made small improvements to the iPhone’s camera with every iteration, but we haven’t seen a significant sensor upgrade since the Cupertino company introduced an 8-megapixel camera — up from 5-megapixels — with the iPhone 4s in 2011.

But that’s expected to change this year. After respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo promised a 12-megapixel sensor — among other upgrades — earlier this week, Kevin Wang, director of IHS Technology Research in China, has backed up those claims.

Wang warns, however, that while the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will have a much greater megapixel count, the size of the pixels themselves will be smaller. But we probably shouldn’t let that concern us too much at this stage.

Larger pixels can mean better photos in low light and less noise, but pixel size is just a small part of what makes a camera great — just like megapixel count. Just because they won’t be as big, then, it doesn’t automatically mean our photos won’t be as good.

The improved sensor will likely outweigh any drawbacks, and you can be sure that Apple wouldn’t deliver an iPhone camera that isn’t better than the one that came before it.

Other iPhone 6s specifications are said to include Apple’s next-generation A9 processor, 2GB of RAM, an improved Touch ID sensor, and stronger aluminum that should prevent another “bendgate.” We could also get a new rose gold color option.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
