Apple Siapkan iPhone Ukuran Kecil dan Lebih Murah

WASHINGTON, KOMPAS.COM -- Sangat kompetitif bermain di pasar smartphone kelas atas, Apple kelihatannya mengincar kelas menengah. Kabar terakhir yang dilansir situs web Wall Street Journal, perusahaan yang berpusat di Cupertino, California, AS, itu sedang menyiapkan iPhone versi kecil.

Mengutip sumber yang mengaku melihat langsung prototipenya, produk yang sedang dikembangkan itu diberi kode N97. Ukurannya setengah dari ukuran iPhone 4 dan disebut akan dijual dengan harga setengahnya pula.

Tidak hanya itu, Apple dilaporkan bakal menggratiskan layanan penyimpan data online MobileMe. Sebelumnya, setiap pengguna perangkat Apple harus membayar 99-149 dollar AS per tahun guna menikmati layanan untuk menyimpan foto dan video di internet itu. MobileMe kemungkinan juga akan dimanfaatkan sebagai platform untuk layanan musik.

Perangkat iPhone versi mini itu diperkirakan keluar ke pasar pada musim panas tengah tahun ini. Namun, rencana tersebut bisa saja mundur. Tidak ada konfirmasi dari Apple menanggapi laporan tersebut seperti biasanya.

Wall Street Journal juga melansir, pengembangan produk Apple ini tak lepas dari peran CEO Apple Steve Jobs. Meski tengah cuti karena sakit, Steve Jobs tetap terlibat aktif dalam pengembangan produk baru.

Ini Dia Pendompleng Popularitas iPhone 5S dan 5C

KOMPAS.COM -- Peluncuran iPhone dari Apple selalu menimbulkan gegap gempita di media dan jejaring sosial online, tak terkecuali iPhone 5S dan iPhone 5C pada Selasa (10/9/2013) lalu.

Dikutip dari BuzzFeed, momentum ini ternyata dimanfaatkan oleh sejumlah produsen untuk mempromosikan produk masing-masing dengan mendompleng popularitas iPhone.

Nokia Inggris, Samsung, LG, dan Microsoft Windows Phone, misalnya, membeli iklan Twitter agar ditayangkan di atas linimasa pengguna yang mencari kata kunci "Apple" dan "iPhone" pada hari peluncuran iPhone 5S dan 5C. Event tersebut menghasilkan 25.000 tweet terkait per menit.

Bahkan, jaringan restoran keluarga Denn's di Amerika Serikat pun tak ketinggalan memanfaatkan momen tersebut dan mengunggah tweet berisi iklan produk makanan yang diimbuhi sedikit kemiripan dengan brand iPhone.

Hal ini membawa dampak positif bagi bisnis iklan Twitter karena menunjukkan potensi brand untuk menjangkau konsumen saat berlangsungnya sebuah acara. Apakah tweet tersebut berhasil mengubah keputusan membeli konsumen, hal tersebut tentu masih harus diteliti lagi.

Nah, berikut ini rangkaian tweet bersifat promosi berisi sindiran yang memanfaatkan waktu peluncuran iPhone baru tersebut.

How to Use a Credit Card Machine to Program a Card: 5 Steps

Purchases at stores and retail outlets used to be a cash only proposition. With the advent and growing popularity of credit cards with magnetic strips embedded in them, many stores and retail outlets began to accept credit cards as payment for purchases. This purchase by credit system is based on getting the billable account information from the information on the credit card that the customer presents. For their own protection, the stores or retail outlets must confirm at the time of purchase that the credit card information provided represents a valid billable account, that the billable account is active, and that the billable account has sufficient credit remaining to cover the purchase. Stores and retail outlets use credit card readers that are networked to a central information repository that can advise if the purchase being attempted by the customer should be accepted or denied. Use these tips to learn how to use a credit card machine to program a card.
STEPS
1
DECIDE ON THE TYPES OF CR CARDS TO BE ACCEPTED. There are many companies that provide credit services, and it should not be assumed that all credit card companies make their information available to all central information repositories. The various credit providers add a service fee to the customer purchase that varies from credit provider to credit provider. Such service fees can be anywhere from 5 percent to
1
0 percent of the value of the purchase, and the store or retail outlet must bear these service fees.
2
CHOOSE THE CENTRAL INFORMATION REPOSITORY THAT WILL BE USED. The chosen central information repository must support all of the credit cards that the store or retail outlet has chosen to accept. The services of the central information repository will be charged to the store or retail outlet, usually in the form of a monthly fee. Many repositories will discount their fees if preferred credit cards are used, or if the card reading machines of that company will be used on either a rental or purchase basis. Conduct online research to find the right combination of cards accepted and central information repository services that are right for your store or retail outlet.
Determine the access method to the central information repository of choice. Some repositories will require a telephone modem connection for which the store or retail outlet must supply a telephone line. Other repositories will link over the Internet, for which a dedicated link to the Internet must be provided. Credit card machines cannot be linked to the Internet through a personal computer.
3
CHOOSE THE TYPE OF CR CARD READING MACHINE TO BE USED. The 2 choices are machines that will read the magnetic stripe on the card and machines that must have an operator enter the number printed on the card on a keyboard. In either case, choose the use of a built-in receipt printer or an auxiliary receipt printer for the credit card machine of choice. Credit card machines that require an auxiliary printer can be purchased for between $200 USD to $450 USD (140 to
3
15 Euros), while card swipe credit card machines with built-in printers can be purchased for between $275 USD to $900 USD (17
3
to 6
3
0 Euros).
4
INSTALL THE CR CARD READING MACHINE. The credit card reading machine must be installed through either a phone line or an Internet link per the manufacturers instructions. The credit card reading machine must be programmed per the manufacturers instructions to identify the store or retail outlet and the billing code provided by the central information repository for the store or retail outlet.
5
USE THE CR CARD READER. Activate the reader as indicated by the manufacturer's instructions to begin a new transaction. Swipe the credit card, or enter the credit card number on the numeric keypad of the credit card reader. Commit the credit card reader to process the new transaction as indicated by the manufacturers information.
Accept any denials by the credit card reader. The credit card reader will not indicate why the transaction was denied.

How to Share Files Using Airdrop on iPhone or iPad: 10 Steps

Airdrop is one of the most interesting and useful features available in iOS 7.  It's an easy and secure way to move files (including pictures, contacts, documents and many other) from one iOS device to another. It's available for iPhone 5 or later, fourth generation iPad, iPad mini, as well as fifth generation iPod Touch.  You don't need to be on the same network to share files, since your device will create a mini-Wi-Fi network for you just for the transfer and then close it once the transfer is finished. It's quick, simple and keeps your data safe while it's being transferred between devices.
STEPS
1
SWIPE UP FROM THE BOTTOM OF ANY SCREEN ON YOUR DEVICE TO OPEN CONTROL CENTER.  It's important to start from the very bottom of the screen.



2
ENABLE BOTH BLUETOOTH AND WI-FI ON YOUR DEVICE.  AirDrop uses both technologies to transfer files, so make sure that both are on by selecting their icons in Control Center. If Bluetooth hasn't yet been set up on your device, please set it up.



3
TAP THE "AIRDROP" OPTION IN THE CONTROL CENTER MENU.  Here, you can choose whether you'd like to be visible only to people on your Contacts list or Everyone nearby.  



4
SELECT "EVERYONE" TO MAKE YOUR DEVICE VISIBLE TO ALL IOS DEVICES IN YOUR AREA, OR SELECT "CONTACTS ONLY" TO BECOME VISIBLE ONLY TO OTHER DEVICES ALREADY IN YOUR CONTACTS LIST. It's important to note that if you choose "Contacts Only" it's necessary to have two things setup before AirDrop will work:
An iCloud account must be set up on your device.  If iCloud isn’t setup on your device yet, please enable it.
The recipient device's AppleID must be in your Contacts list.
5
OPEN THE APP CONTAINING THE FILE YOU\'D LIKE TO SHARE USING AIRDROP.  This can be the Photos app, Contacts, Notes, Safari, etc.  AirDrop will work from within whichever app is storing that file.
6
ON THE RECIPIENT\'S DEVICE, TURN ON BLUETOOTH AND WI-FI. Open the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Then, make sure both the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi symbols are selected.
7
TURN ON AIRDROP ON THE RECIPIENT\'S DEVICE. Just like on the device that's sending the file, AirDrop must be on and discoverable on the device that it will be transferred to.
8
MAKE SURE THAT THE RECIPIENT\'S DEVICE IS AWAKE AND IN RANGE OF YOURS. AirDrop uses Bluetooth to detect other devices, which has a relatively long range of about 40 feet (or about 12 meters), so you don’t have to be in the same room, although you should be in the same house for the transfer to go smoothly.



9
WHILE VIEWING THE FILE YOU\'D LIKE TO SEND, TAP THE "SHARE" BUTTON.  A number of options will pop up, one of which will be the name of the recipient's device.  If they're in your contact list, you'll also see the image and nickname associated with the AppleID.



10
TAP THE RECIPIENT\'S ICON TO BEGIN THE TRANSFER.  The recipient's device will prompt them to accept your file.  Once the transfer is finished, the file will automatically be opened on the recipient's device.
Know another method for How to SHARE FILES USING AIRDROP ON IPHONE OR IPAD? Add it here... 1. Add Method
TIPS
Currently, even though OSX and iOS both support AirDrop, it's not yet possible to share between mobile devices and computers.
AirDrop can be turned off again through the Control Center, making your device invisible to all devices around you if desired.
WARNINGS
Selecting "Everyone" in the airdrop menu will make your device visible to anyone in the area using AirDrop. While Apple's system is very secure, it may expose your data to unknown third parties. Be cautious when using this option in a public place.

4 Ways to Block a Number on the iPhone

The iPhone is Apple Inc’s smartphone and multimedia device that functions as a mobile phone and text messaging device, media player, video camera, and internet web browsing and email device. There are a numbers of hacks that you can use to blacklist, block, or otherwise screen unwanted phone numbers. Here's how!
STEPS
METHOD 1 OF 4: USING IOS7
1
IF YOU ARE ON IOS7, YOU CAN BLOCK THE NUMBER FROM YOUR SETTINGS.
2
OPEN YOUR CALL LOG. From the Phone icon, select "Recents" at the bottom. The call log is called "Recents."
3
FIND THE NUMBER YOU WANT TO BLOCK. You may need to scroll up or down to find it.
4
TOUCH ON THE "I" NEXT TO THE PHONE NUMBER, AND SELECT "BLOCK THIS CONTACT" TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.
This will block the number from contacting you on calls, texts, Facetime, anything. You won't even know they called.
5
IT WORKS THE SAME WAY IN YOUR MESSAGE LOG AND FACETIME LOG, SHOULD YOU WANT TO BLOCK FROM THERE.
6
YOU CAN ALSO VIEW YOUR BLOCKED LIST FROM THE SETTINGS ICON.
After launching your settings, you can choose Phone, Messages or Facetime. You can then view your block list from there, and either add or remove numbers.
METHOD 2 OF 4: IOS6 AND BEFORE: CONTACTING YOUR CARRIER



1
FIND OUT WHICH CARRIER YOUR IPHONE IS CURRENTLY USING. Do this by clicking the “Settings” app from your home screen. Your carrier will be displayed in the “Carrier” heading of the settings app.



2
CONTACT YOUR CELL PHONE CARRIER AND REQUEST TO BLOCK A NUMBER. For example, if your iPhone data and voice plan is currently with AT&T, contact their customer support line to request a number to be blocked. This is the only method of blocking a number on the iPhone without Jailbreaking it.
Many carriers will allow you to block a significant amount of numbers. Sprint, for example, lets you block up to 50 numbers at the time of writing.
METHOD 3 OF 4: AUTOMATICALLY SCREENING YOUR CALLS



1
GO INTO THE "CONTACTS" MENU ON YOUR IPHONE.



2
SELECT THE CONTACT(S) YOU WISH TO SCREEN.



3
CLICK ON THE "" BUTTON NEXT TO THE CONTACT.



4
SET THE RINGTONE AND VIBRATION SETTING TO "NONE." Now, when this number tries to call you, your phone won't ring or bother you. It's not the exact same as "blocking" a number, but it's better than nothing if you are on iOS6 or before.
Another option you have is to change the name of the contact to "Do not answer 1," so that when the person calls you, your phone gives you a simple reminder not to answer. Make sure to put in "Do not answer 2," "Do not answer 3," and so on for each number that you wish to avoid.


METHOD 4 OF 4: USING A THIRD-PARTY APP TO BLOCK CALLS



1
JAILBREAK YOUR IPHONE. Jailbreaking allows you to bypass DRM (Digital Rights Media) controls and thereby install certain "unauthorized" software.[
1
] Jailbreaking is inherently risky. If you don't want to assume the risk, please call your carrier or try "screening" your calls by setting the ringtone to silent or creating a "Do not answer
1
" name.



2
GET CYDIA AND FIND AN APP THAT WILL GET THE JOB DONE. You won't find any call-blocking apps in the Apple app store, which is exactly why you did a Jailbreak in the first place. When in Cydia, you can choose from among these (and more) call blocking apps:
Call bliss
Call blocker
iBlacklist[2]



3
ADD THE CONTACT(S) YOU WANT BLOCKED. Manually input the numbers that you want blocked and set the block icon to "on."



4
CONFIGURE YOUR BLOCKED CONTACTS ACCORDING TO YOUR PREFERENCES. Configure what you want to happen when the contact calls. You usually have the option of blocking before the call is made, sending the call straight to voicemail, or setting the ringtone to silent. Choose whichever option you'd like and set the changes on the app.

TIPS
Setting a silent ringtone as the ringtone for the number you want to block provides an alternative to actually blocking the number.
WARNINGS
Some carriers may have a different process of blocking numbers. Some may even require you to sign up for a paid service.
