Schiller: Just this summer we launched Metal, a new graphics library for our developers

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:19:25 PM
Phil's talking about heat constraints being a big issue for smartphones. He specifically mentions gaming, but I think more people will see an advantage with GPS navigation. That certainly makes my phone get toasty...

The A7 chip last year was the first 64 bit chip for mobile

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:19:44 PM
Such chips enable faster apps that can juggle large amounts of data more efficiently than the 32-bit processors common in smartphones and tablets today. However, most mobile operating systems and apps don't currently support 64-bit. Some chip companies have started to produce 64-bit processors to be ready when the operating systems catch up, but others are still working on their chips.

Phil's telling us about Metal again, the new GPU layer that gives more power and direct access to game developers than OpenGL.

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:19:56 PM
The iPhone 6 is official: 4.7-inch retina HD screen iPhone is here

av Carrie Mihalcik via CNET 9/9/2014 5:20:08 PM

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:20:08 PM
Some game dev have apparently had a chance to play with A8, so it's time to get a demo!

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:20:13 PM
av James Martin via CNET 9/9/2014 5:20:13 PM
Stephan Sherman from Super Evil Megacorp is going to give us a demo.

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:20:24 PM
Schiller: introducing Stephan Sherman, chief creative officer of Super Evil Megacorp (best name ever)

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:20:29 PM
av Lynn La via CNET 9/9/2014 5:20:48 PM
Sherman: Today I am thrilled to debut for you Vain Glory. New game

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:20:53 PM
A battle arena game that uses touch? Let's see how this looks..

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:21:00 PM
av Carrie Mihalcik 9/9/2014 5:21:01 PM
Sherman: Vain Glory players play a unique hero. Petal can plant seeds that sprout

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:21:09 PM
Sherman: Vain Glory brings this world class competitive gaming to iOS

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:21:34 PM
The basic gameplay mode is to destroy a giant crystal in the opposing team's base, like aggro CTF.

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:22:05 PM
Sherman is going over some aspects of the game

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:22:09 PM
Uh oh, he's unleashed a kraken.

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:22:17 PM
Apparently you can recruit the kraken and he'll help you destroy your opponent's crystal.

Some context about Apple's position in mobile - The iPhone's worldwide smartphone market share has plummeted from a peak of 23 percent in fourth quarter of 2011 to 12 percent in the second quarter of 2014, according to market researcher IDC. That puts it in second place behind Samsung, and Android vendors altogether captured 85 percent of the market in the period.

Apple supersizes the iPhone, joins the big-screen era at last cnet.com/news

av Carrie Mihalcik via CNET 9/9/2014 5:22:50 PM
Still, Apple’s shipments continue to rise, with the company’s volume increasing 13 percent to 35.2 million units in the quarter ended in June

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:22:53 PM
Still no Liam Neeson sighting, but we'll keep our eyes peeled.

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:22:53 PM
Launching bigger iPhones could have significant implications for the mobile industry. In a market where phone designs and operating systems have become standardized, larger screens were one way for Android devices to stand out against the iPhone.

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:23:17 PM
av Lynn La via CNET 9/9/2014 5:23:22 PM
The graphics look quite good, but not quite revolutionary. Pretty typical MMO fare.

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:23:25 PM
Samsung claimed during the patent-infringement trials against Apple that one of the main reasons people buy Samsung devices is for their bigger screens. If that's no longer a differentiator, Samsung's sales could suffer. Now that Apple has bigger devices, Android makers such as Samsung and LG won't have as much of an advantage.

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:23:29 PM
Shipments of phablets, typically defined as smartphones with screen sizes between 5.5 and 6.99 inches, will surpass portable PC shipments this year and tablet shipments next year, International Data Corp. said in early September.

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:23:37 PM
This year, electronics vendors will ship about 175 million phablets, IDC said, passing the 170 million laptops expected to ship during the same period. Next year, phablet shipments will top 318 million units, surpassing the 233 million tablets forecast to ship in 2015.

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:23:41 PM
Should be a fun game, though. We'll need to see more.

av Tim Stevens 9/9/2014 5:23:46 PM
While phablets remain a small percentage of the overall smartphone sector, Apple's larger screen iPhones should give the category a boost, IDC added. Phablets should grow to 32 percent of the smartphone market in 2018 from 14 percent this year, the firm said.

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:23:53 PM
Schiller is back up

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:23:57 PM
Schiller: Battery life impact now

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:24:14 PM
Phil makes a good point that the phone filling a 35-foot screen with good graphics is impressive.

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:24:18 PM
av James Martin via CNET 9/9/2014 5:24:22 PM
Schiller: iPhone 6 and 6 Plus has just-as-good or better battery life than iPhone 5S

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:24:34 PM
Up to 24 hours of 3G talk on the iPhone 6 Plus from 10 before. The iPhone 6 is 14 hours. That's no slouch.

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:24:42 PM
av James Martin via CNET 9/9/2014 5:24:43 PM
av Lynn La via CNET 9/9/2014 5:24:46 PM
Schiller: iPhone 6 11 hours of video watching, wifi browsing. iPhone 6 Plus, 14 hours of HD video playback

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:24:56 PM
So the Plus will be the one you want if you really need all-day phone usage -- if you have the pockets to suit.

av Tim Stevens via CNET 9/9/2014 5:24:58 PM
Schiller: New motion coprocessor called M8

av Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2014 5:25:06 PM
Schiller: Useful for fitness applications. Can tell when cycling, running, walking, has new ability to estimate distance
