IC-port in smartphones: what are the most common wines and how to use them? Rowmote: converting iPhone to universal remote control Chi and IR port on iPhone 5s

It’s a shame that Apple released the iPhone 6 with a large screen, a front camera and a huge price, this smartphone turned out to be even more successful, moreover, it’s bigger, lower than the iPhone 5S. Good, I did not start experimenting again with the type of iPhone 5C models. Apple's prote still faces serious competition, no matter what the company's marketers have been trying to do. Now the Galaxy S6 has arrived.

Axis why I propon a small list of 6 features, which are in the Galaxy S6 and not in the iPhone 6. Yak S6 took 3GB of RAM and an eight-core 64-bit processor. Shukatimemo vіdminnostі glibshe.

1.Quad HD display

Samsung has introduced a new 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with amazing Quad HD resolution - 2560 x 1440 pixels. Today, the best display on the mobile market, the Galaxy S6 proudly demonstrates the best features of its screen.

2. Optical image stabilization

For the first time in the history of the Galaxy S line, Samsung has equipped its flagship with an image stabilization system, and for once it's not digital. The camera of the Galaxy S6 is now aware of the sharpness of the trembling of your hands.

3. Wide-angle front camera with f / 1.9 and a high-rise building

In the rest of the smartphone, Apple has greatly reduced the ability of the front camera, but everything is still far from the 5-megapixel selfie camera of the Galaxy S6, as it can already have an aperture of f / 1.9, in HDR mode in real time, to shoot photos at 120 degrees. Wide-angle selfie-photos look naked.

4. Heart rate monitor

The heart rate monitor can be seen at the same time as the camera module on the back of the Galaxy S6. The system is even simpler - just put your finger on the sensor, start the S Health program. Before we speak, you can immediately find out information about the budded crocomir, the calorie calculator, fitness training and other opportunities.

5. Remote control (IR port)

Samsung in the Galaxy S6 re-installed the IC port, which will still be shorter, lower the heart rate monitor, so we can create a universal remote control for monitoring from a smartphone. iPhone 6 is not like that.

6. Dartless charging

In the wake of thinning, the Galaxy S6 case will have a lot of brown functions, including support for wireless charging, which is available to the standard.

Nezabar summer, and it means that the time has come to guess again about the air conditioner. Especially, as you live near Krasnodar, for an hour you spend an hour in an unbearable speck. It used to be so bad with us that the air conditioner didn’t flicker.

And if you go home for a long time, then the air conditioner will turn off the natural bazhann. You come home, and there is suffocation. I’ve got a problem with food: what are the air conditioners that can be used to charge through the iPhone or iPad? Even more practical zastosuvannya koї optії more obvious - not reaching the booth, the air conditioner and wine starts to cool the room to your arrival to a comfortable temperature.

I opened the archives of news and said that the first similar air conditioners appeared 4-5 years ago. In the App Store, open the Smart Air Conditioner program, which allows you to use smart Samsung air conditioners. Naymіshnishe, what are the air conditioners at the same time, the joke simply does not know: the official video was seen from Youtube, and on Yandex.Market it is seen for a request, be it, but only not air conditioners. Mabut, Samsung scoring straight on the cey.

But other companies don't sleep and try to implement remote control technology in their model. I know a few models:

• Frigidaire FGRC1044T1 Cool Connect or Frigidaire FGRC0844S1 Cool Connect
• LG LP1415WXRSM
• Quirky Aros

All these models are equipped with a Wi-Fi module and a power add-on. Tse means that you can use it for help iPhone, iPad, or I will add it to Android. I guess that such functionality is the mother of absolutely all air conditioners on the market. Adzhe tse dozhe zruchno! That Wi-Fi module is not much more expensive than the compatibility of any model. Well, it’s not NFC, it’s not like it’s a kind of robbing a dear smartphone for about 5,000 rubles.

Ale tse topovі zakordonnі air conditioners (yeah, Russia doesn't know why). What models can you see with us? I know this:

• Rovex RS-07ALS1
• Ballu iGreen PRO DC Inverter
• Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-LN25VG / MUZ-LN25VG

And th іnshі models, ale zagalom їх on the market is still not rich. Better for everything, a lot of retailers of air conditioners don’t swindle the prospects of that directly and don’t want to fool around with the supply and support of handy add-ons. Those LG floorings nastily promote their program for the air conditioner, so you are unlikely to want to bathe the air conditioner itself.

Alternatives?

The most promising for me was the AirPatrol Wi-Fi distribution. An awesome thing behind the idea, as it allows you to add a touch of control to the iPhone, it’s practical for any old air conditioner! A small attachment with a total weight of 45 grams is included in the measure and transmits information from the iPhone to the air conditioner.

If I understand the principle correctly, I will replace the air conditioner control panel. Koristuvach sends signals through the darkness, and AirPatrol Wi-Fi receives them and transmits them to the air conditioner, which is guilty of being in the visibility zone.

The retailers support the program: you can set up a layout of the robotic air conditioner. The price I will add on Amazon is 118 dollars (7400 rubles). Expensive…

In search of a bigger cheap option, I spent on Ali on Xiaomi Smart Remote. A box, yak pratsyuє for this very principle. I take signals from my smartphone and send them to the air conditioner for an additional IC port. Change the number of remotes, so, obviously, it’s good for you. The program can set up alarms, turn on as your air conditioner or TV is not listed in the data base.

Starting with the iPhone 3G, Apple is following a cycle of updates to its most popular product. In the first phase, the company presents a fresh design and the most important functional innovations, in the middle of the past, a screen with a larger size, additional communication capabilities and others. The launch of the offensive model, with the index "s", marks for specific functions. In the meantime, Apple is looking forward to adding something new and in the interim phase (like the Touch ID or 3D Touch features that appeared on the iPhone 5s and 6s). And, I understand, the iPhone has a new system-on-a-chip and a thoroughly improved main camera.

iPhone 7 sings the world according to the rule. For the first time, the design of the case is clearly continuing directly, the iPhone 6 has a lot of problems (at that time, the iPhone 4, 5 and 6 radically changed in the previous iterations). The hardware functions, in their turn, have changed more and more, but not so much (which, however, cannot be said about the iPhone 7 Plus with its undermount camera). Those that Apple has worked for r_k, that have gone through the release of the iPhone 6s, are better able to see it as a deeper and more comprehensive way to upgrade the familiar device. Prote in this vapadka as a whole guess the old thesis about the transition from a kilkost to a blackness.

⇡ SoC, RAM

Apple, as always, has revealed the absolute minimum of information about the components of the new iPhone. Independence studies over time shed light on the details, however, for such a short term, after passing the moment the outbuildings appeared for sale, rich food has not yet been taken away.

The key innovation of the iPhone 7 is a system-on-a-chip called the Apple A10 Fusion. Since that time, since the iPhone was first equipped with a Vicoristan SoC, broken up by Apple (A4), the company did not bother to equip its chips more and more with ARM cores. By the method of the creators of the SoC A-series, it has become and is deprived of the most efficient way to parallelism from the environmental flow of instructions. In all generations of the iPhone, which have changed over the past years, which have improved their efficiency, allowing Apple processors to be less on equal super-matching with mobile SoCs, which may have more cores (like IP licensed by ARM), so on the basis of resource-intensive and typical tasks for a smartphone, like web surfing and 3D games.

However, even from the point of view of the swedcode chotiri-eight-core CPUs, there is no single and, perhaps, there are no more solutions, supernicks with Apple SoC chips of the higher category have one advantage, as the engineers of the Californian companies are not among the best. In 2011, ARM promoted the Big.LITTLE architecture, as it transfers the placement of two clusters of cores on a crystal - a highly productive and an energy-efficient one. The importance of this chi and the other rank rises up to the recognition of the clusters, which in the end rahunka allows to increase the productivity of the rozrahunka on the vat of tension, which reduces the SoC.

The narrowly defined term Big.LITTLE can be extended to various combinations of cores, splitting ARM, and with such success, this principle is victorious in such products, like Samsung Exynos 8 Octa 8890 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, equipped with original design cores. Having released the Apple A10 Fusion, the company from Cupertino also went down the second track.

Axis deakі facts, yaki at once vіdomі about the heterogeneous architecture of the Apple A10 Fusion. The SoC includes two dual-core clusters and a hardware controller that ensures the migration of the task between the rest. The word “migration” with a high efficiency means that a highly productive and energy efficient cluster does not work overnight, but at the moment one of the wine clusters is switched on, it transfers data to another for the help of the L2 cache.

Sign of Apple A10 Fusion Chip (ChipWorks)

The latest sign from ChipWorks allowed localization of a highly productive cluster of ARM cores, which occupies an area of ​​16 mm 2 - from a 13 mm 2 Apple A9. The increase in area on the top of the deep space of the microcircuit (which will be said below) can be interpreted as follows, that two smaller cores are expanded in the least possible positions, and the main cluster is larger. Another hypothesis seems to be more possible: energy efficient and highly productive cluster of integration among themselves. The remaining way of organizing can be related to such characteristics of the chip, as an effective way to overcome the transistor budget and a way to migrate between clusters. I, before speech, the word Fusion in the name SoC can be shown on its own.

There is a lack of power supply, which is the same in the pipeline of the main ARM cores, it is equal to the Twister architecture, which was stuck in the A9. Judging from the declared productivity (and mind you, two A10 Fusion clusters do not actually work at the same time), the evidence for the power supply is solid. The high-performance A10 Fusion cluster works on the highest - by 27% - frequency, the lower CPU of the Apple A9 (2.34 vs. 1.85 GHz), but can still be 40% faster.

About the graphics processor in the warehouse A10 Fusion is even less. Apple says it's a six-core GPU. In this rank, as the retailer continues to license IP from Imagination Technologies, we can rightly recognize the PowerVR GT7600 variant, which was featured in the Apple A9, or as a representative of the new PowerVR Series7XT series, presented by Imagination on the cob of this rock. GPU performance is claimed to exceed that of the Apple A9 by 50%.

The Apple A10 Fusion oscillates on TSMC's 16nm FinFET technology and has an area of ​​125mm2, which shifts the A9 area by 20.5mm2 - also TSMC, which is also being prepared. In addition to relying on an independent assessment of the number of transistors in both SoCs (more than 2 billion and 3.3 billion per SoC), the A10 Fusion achieved a much larger component placement space in the first phase of the 16 nm FinFET technical process from the side of Apple.

X-ray image of the Apple A10 Fusion chip (ChipWorks)

So far, there is no evidence that Apple got to the SoC of another contractor - Samsung - in parallel with TSMC, as it happened with the Apple A9. Obviously, the exclusive position of TSMC has brought a new way of packaging microcircuits - InFO-WLP (Integrated Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging). The essence of the technology lies in the fact that the chip is mounted directly on the board without an organic substrate. Therefore, the area of ​​the crystal is reserved for litter boxes, occupied by non-transistor logic, rather by metal conductors, which are completed with bags of solder to lie on the surface. The sight of the area allows you to make large bags for soldering on a board. Navpaki, a typical method of hulling can have two balls of sacks on the vase: small sacks, which close the chip with an organic base, and the big sacks on the lower surface of the substrate.

Stopping InFO-WLP gives the chip a little bit of trouble: the height of the case changes, the cooling becomes better, and more short conductors are added to adopt the increase in clock frequencies.

In the iPhone 7, the SoC crystal is packaged in one package for the selection of Samsung K3RG1G10CM-YGCH RAM chips. Chips with a large capacity of 2 GB of accommodation in one flat, which also made the case even thinner. Before speech, iPhone 7 Plus, on a standard size model, has 3 GB of RAM installed.

⇡ SSD

In the iPhone 6s, Apple first started accumulating an interface based on PCI-Express and the NVMe protocol. There is no way to know if the iPhone 7 needs to be hacked back to the eMMC interface. The model range of the smartphone includes three positions with the volume of Flash-memory 32, 128 and 256 GB. In this way, the basic models of the iPhone with 16 GB of the collection were published in the past, and the capacity of all three models was subverted.

It is possible to use the iPhone 7 wireless communication without roaming ahead of the clock to the LTE-Advanced modem of the 10th category, which ensures the throughput of 450 and 100 Mb/s for the reception of that transmission is clear. Versions of iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, combined with CDMA (A1660 and A1661), equipped with a Qualcomm MDM9645M baseband chip, which really supports LTE-A category 12 with parameters of 600/150 Mb/s, Cat. 10 to enable the modem of two other Intel PMB9943 models (A1778, A1784).

The rest of the enhancements to the CDMA support, and the very same released on the Russian market. Actual for Russian networks of the LTE Band 7, 20 and 38 bands are supported by both modems (behind Band 31, for example, the Skylink network of Tele2).

The availability of the Wi-Fi adapter in the iPhone 7 has not changed in the same way: the IEEE 802.11ac protocol is supported in the MIMO 2×2 configuration, which ensures throughput of up to 866 Mb/s.

⇡ Display, camera, sound

One of the highlights of the iPhone 7 is the display with expanded colors. Starting with the iMac and iPad Pro, Apple has been hard at work supporting the DCI-P3 standard in its outbuildings. In the case of professional monitors, color extensions are associated with other spaces - Adobe RGB. However, DCI-P3 may have better prospects for expansion in modern technology through those that the DCI-P3 standard itself is the most popular film industry in the United States, and it turns out that in the not-too-distant future it will be possible to take over the TV sets, even though Adobe RGB is so up-to-date. less in the sphere of graphic design.

DCI-P3 covers 25% more than the colors of the visible spectrum in the same sRGB standard and approximately equals Adobe RGB in coverage area. However, although Adobe RGB provides more colors in the green spectrum, DCI-P3 is stronger in the red colors. In iOS, a global color correction system has been introduced: all images are displayed correctly up to the sign of their color profile. As a result, content, insurance on a wide range of colors, vicarious screen space, and at the same time, standard sRGB images are not oversized. Correction of color temperature for background lighting parameters, presented in iPad Pro, unfortunately, only in iPhone 7.

The iPhone 7 screen is also 25% brighter than the previous generations. The passport parameters of brightness and contrast ratio are 625 cd/m 2 and 1400:1. I allowed that screen size in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to be the same as those of their predecessors.

The main camera of the device has been updated in the DCI-P3 color space and improved in other ways, similar to the iPhone 6s camera. Now there is no less iPhone with the Plus index, and the standard size model is equipped with an optical image stabilizer. Allowed the camera (12 Mpx) was not increased, the proteo matrix from Sony, for official credit, provides 60% faster autofocus and saves 30% less energy. A new design of optics with six lenses and an aperture is presented. f/1.8 f/2.2 on the iPhone 6s), as well as on 50% brighter Tru Tone sleepers with some lights.

The front cameras were increased from 5 to 7 megapixels, which made it possible to capture video in 1080p format.

The iPhone 7 may have ISP specializations, which can handle image processing. Zocrema, the chip will be designed to emulate the bokeh effect in the iPhone 7 Plus, which can double the main camera with a wide-angle and long-focus lens. Ale pro tse mi we save for looking around the iPhone 7 Plus.

The changeable speaker near the upper part of the case is now a fully-fledged Guchnomovite, which is used in the stereo mode now with the lower speaker. And in the iPhone 7 there is no longer a mini-jack socket for bringing sound to the sound of acoustics. Natomist Apple promotes a wireless interface as the main way to connect audio equipment. Behind the words of Apple, the mini-jack socket had a chance to be “driven in”, not in the rest of the day, in order to call the additional space in the case - a cream, for the battery, the capacity of such a boulder was increased by 14% (from 1715 to 1960 mA year) , and a larger Taptic Engine.

The iPhone 7 comes with EarPods with a Lightning connector and a mini-jack to Lightning adapter. This accessory is not so simple as it seems. The middle of the adapter is replaced by the DAC. Prote the iPhone 7 itself to avenge three audio signals: two - obviously, for stereo speakers, but the rest is unknown. It is possible that the Lightning port in the iPhone 7 has learned to pass analog sound, but for the convenience of the adapter with the old Apple yoga technology, it was equipped with a DAC.

⇡ Starry look

The design of the iPhone 7 doesn't look like two of its predecessors, which are the same size as the iPhone 6s and may be the same size. Prote principles of aesthetics, embedded in the iPhone 6, the creators of "Simka" brought to perfection. The first thing that falls into the vіchі is plastic sleeves, which are used to strengthen the zones of the Wi-Fi antennas and the stilt tie, zipped to the edge of the case. In two new color variants of the iPhone 7 ("black" and "black onyx"), the stench visually rages with a metal cover - the flooring is good, but the white and gray women in other colors already look like a short.

iPhone 7 (left hand) and iPhone 6 (right hand)

In addition, the surface of the metal in both shades of black is trimmed in a different way, lower in a silvery, golden brown iPhone. "Black" appeared smooth on the dotik, and "black onyx" was polished to a mirror glare (which, as you understand, we will pour yoga to a streaked pin and a finger tip). In general, shards of plastic spacers run along the edges of the case and make a swollen shape, it is important that they polish them on the moldings after installation (otherwise, it’s better for everything, fillings are far away from the grooves of the case) at once with the metal surface, ensuring the ideal shape of the curves and the exact sticking of materials.

iPhone 7 (left hand) and iPhone 6 (right hand)

The iPhone 7 has been replaced with another design of the two front generations. The lens of the main camera became not only larger (through a larger aperture), but a little more small (additional lens). As a legacy, vin, as before, hang over the back cover, and replace the rimmed ring with a neat pidyom on the surface. The eye is stuck in the hood, the plastic dispenser, which looks richly harmonious in pairing with the iPhone 6/6s lens, will be squeezed between the dispensers in a casual-looking position.

Before speech, Apple says that the lens of the main camera, and the sensor of the "home" button are covered with a sapphire (that is, corundum) crystal. However, even if you believe some evidence on the Internet, glass damage is not as sharp as it should be, how to lay a sapphire on the glass in the iPhone 6s. Apple hasn't responded to notifications yet.

iPhone 6 (left hand) and iPhone 7 (right hand)

There are no more and less bright pits between the buttons for adjusting the density. All buttons are slightly thicker, lower on the iPhone 6/6s, and more muffled. The frame for the Lightning port on black models and the heads of the screws are also slightly frayed in black colors. Open the speaker on the bottom edge with absolutely symmetrical zipper to the pink mini-jack.

In the cleanliness of minimalism, like the iPhone 7, you can get away with a thin plastic frame between a folded screen and a metal case, without which Apple could do without it, as it is in the Apple Watch. However, it is not included that the frame may be functionally recognized: plastic can give energy to impact when falling, which would be especially unsafe in case of direct contact with metal and a large area.

The home button under the screen is not a physical button. Under the disc from the sapphire crystal, there is a Force Touch sensor, sensitive to the pressure, and the taptic engine electromagnetic "hammer" sounds like an onslaught. To be honest, the "emulation" of the physical button in the iPhone 7 is not reliable, like the touchpads of "Macs" with Force Touch (absolutely do not worry about the mechanical ones). However, the effect of acceptance (especially at maximum impact force, as it develops) and on the back of the head is staleness, similar to tiєї, scho buvaє vіd nasіnnya or pukhirchastoy plіvki.

The pressure on the button registers recklessly and with such frequency, like building human fingers. In addition, the sensor reacts only on the fingers or close behind the electrical power and the area of ​​the object.

Force Touch plays the same role in the home button, like 3D Touch on the screen. A light press will unlock the phone or unlock the working style, a strong press will call Siri. However, it would have been shorter, the yakbee deeper onslaught was accompanied by another "click" - the infection is not so.

For some reason, replacing a physical key with a sensor means that the smartphone has one less mechanical component, more wearable. In addition, the neruhoma "home" button could be needed for another access to the iPhone 7 - a defense against the penetration of the IP67 standard. Building building vitrimati zanurennya near the water to the depth of up to 1 m 30 hvilin.

⇡ Packing, delivery kit

The standard set of accessories is added to the iPhone 7 - paper documentation, a tool for removing the SIM card tray and EarPods (now with Lightning rosette).

A short adapter from Lightning to mini-jack is also included before delivery.

Just a trolling machine. And it’s just a mess for the state.

A couple of days ago I came to the office package from GearBest. Raptom mi - the most hated enchanters in the surroundings

Now with one tap on the iPhone screen we can:

• Vimicati and turn on air conditioning
• Switching channels that keruvati TVs
• Virubuvati split-systems and fans
• At some smart offices - vimikati light
• Switch tracks at the cafe
• And there’s a lot more that we haven’t thought of yet.

All the strength did not come from the stars.

What is it?

Vitratili 205 rubles and bought an "enchanting whistle" for the iPhone, which transforms yoga on universal remote control management. Sumy vzagali z ALL what can I support the consoles.

How to practice: it is inserted into the rose of any iPhone (cream) and ore like an infrared remote control-viprominuvach. Exhaust batteries, don't forget to fill up. Sumisno with be-yakimi versions of iOS.

Just grab the app from the App Store (for example, other), choose a new type of device (TV, air conditioner, etc.), select that model. Let's start fan.

I realized that victorious whistle can be done for good purposes. For example, the replacement of a buggy TV remote control. Abo if molting shukati remote control air conditioner. So I started manually: the smartphone is always in charge with us, navit home, and just insert the whole thing, open the prog - and take what you want.

Universal Remote for iPhone cost 205 rubles, delivery to Russia bezshtovna. Yakіs kopіyki, and the fan that zdivuvannya for yourself and the guests is a wagon.

Let's make a fool of ourselves and then we'll lie down to sleep. Really works!

The axis is now on the brink

If your home government has an iPhone (well, maybe an iPod Touch) and a Mac, then the idea of ​​using the first of them to control the other seems to be completely primed. More than that wireless iPhone remote You can contact us for the official Apple Remote. The original Apple remote works on batteries and is equipped with infrared transmission, so you can use it from other rooms or through the back of your home.

Dodatkіv, if you can convert the iPhone to a wireless remote control, you can get hundreds of sprats. But the main problem is the reality of universality. Take the Remote program from Apple if you want: good practice, comrades with iTunes, Apple TV and ... and that's it. When looking for a good remote control, it is impossible not to respect the program.

Rowmote has a nice design in the best Apple traditions, simple integration with a computer and a great list of programs that are supported. Let's get to the design:

Doesn't suit the white color scheme? Until your servants sche black:

Please note that there is no explanation for the central buttons of the sense: sequence, rewind and pause. push buttons Menu Keep clicking on Mac OS X media center front row(This is how the Apple Remote works.)

The right indicator at the bottom shows whether it is connected to the computer. If there is a red flag, then check for those that the remote control does not appear on the screen and change the screen as a joke:

Before speech, Rowmote is well known to competitors by the simplicity of setting up a connection with a computer. Obviously, you can't do without installing a client for your computer. But this easy utility can’t find its own window, it doesn’t put the icon in the menubar, it doesn’t create a new item in the system settings, it doesn’t show itself in any way. The first and the last time, if you її bet - tse setting a bet, at the hour when the computer asks you to enter a 4-digit pin code that appears on the iPhone screen.

Let's turn to die Rowmote. Button Applications transferred to the list of programs. Winning team, which shows the breadth of Rowmote's capabilities and allows you to quickly run a program on your computer. And in the mountains, at the sight lines, the icons appear instead of your Dock.

List of new settings. Having pressed Edit, depending on the fact that the number of visible points is still included for locking:

We can’t help but say what kind of software Rowmote is friends with:

• inside the Front Row buildings
• Boxee
• wake up dvd player
• eyetv
• Finder
• Hulu Desktop
• iTunes
• iPhoto
• Keynote
• PowerPoint
• Quick Time
• safari
• airfoil
• Amarra
• Awaken
• Firefox
• iStopMotion
• kJams Pro
• Last.fm
• Lightroom
• logic
• Open Office Impress
• Movist
• MPlayer
• pandora boy
• Pandora Jam
• songbird
• Spotify
• The Tube

As a bonus - additional commands for turning on the screen mode, closing the window, turning off the disk and turning on the computer's sound. Zagalom, you can’t get up from the sofa anymore :)

Rowmote has two different versions: standard, varietal 99 cents, and Pro - for 5 dollars without one cent. "Big Brother" works with Apple TV, supports the horizontal mode of work and monitors. Ale smut in the new - touchpad and keyboard, which are called with a double button in the hood of the window:

The touchpad works without any particular problems, the keyboard also needs to think about how to get it out of the way, how to take the keyboard off the screen and get back. When you come, wave your iPhone uphill or down - and the only way.

With customizations, you can turn on iPhone auto-lock when Rowmote is running, turn on computer screen, change the theme, change the volume mode, change the sensitivity of the virtual keyboard and the touchpad, as well as many other things.

Rowmote in the "young" edition is a very useful program, which leaves many competitors far behind. Chi varto virtual touchpad overpaying a few dollars - great food.
