iPhone 7; is it gonna be the best?
Well we can never know, all we hear now is rumors but here are some facts about our Apple’s iPhone 7 features:
it would come with a 4.7-inch display
3D touch technology.
You would be able to choose storage of 32, 64, 128 or 256 GB. The 256 GB is not confirmed yet, but rumors say there’s a good chance it would be available especially after Apple has dropped the 16 GB option.
Regarding the Processing power, iPhone 7 would come with 3GB of RAM
A10 processor. Apple’s A10 processor will provide a great processing power as well, and is expected to dominate the mobile chipset market this year.
For the camera, iPhone 7 is expected to have a similar one to that in Samsung’s S7. The rear camera would be a 12 MP, with a 4K video recording.
The front camera should be a 5MP one as well.
iOS 9 Adoption Appears Stalled at 77 Percent of Active Devices
Apple released its iOS 9 operating system to the public in September last year alongside the launch of the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. At that time, it was reported that the iOS 9 penetration was in about 12 percent of the compatible devices within 24 hours since the launch. However, now the mobile OS seems to have reached a sort of plateau in adoption, as per the latest stats shared by Apple.
As seen on the Cupertino-based tech firm's App Store support page, iOS 9 was installed on 77 percent of active devices as of February 22, which is the same figure it had earlier this month on February 8. It is for this reason multiple reports are pointing to an almost static growth of the adoption. Also worthy of mention, was that it was installed on 75 percent of active devices as of January 11. Although the iOS 9 adoption rate has slowed down, the OS adoption rate is still slighty higher than compared to iOS 8.

Messi seeks to meet Afghan boy in plastic jersey
Barcelona star Lionel Messi is hoping to arrange a meeting with an Afghan boy who shot to fame after pictures of him dressed in a striped plastic bag jersey went viral, Kabul’s football federation said Monday.

Five-year-old Murtaza Ahmadi idolises the Argentine soccer star but a jersey of his favourite player is beyond the means of his poor family in the volatile province of Ghazni near Kabul.
His elder brother Homayoun, 15, made him the blue-and-white-striped plastic shirt with Messi’s named scrawled in marker pen and posted the photos of Murtaza wearing it on Facebook in mid-January.
Jorge Messi, Lionel’s father, told AFP on Saturday that the footballer was aware of the photos that made waves on social media and “wants to do something” for his young fan.
The Afghanistan Football Federation (AFF) on Monday said Messi was keen to meet Murtaza as soon as possible, though no date or venue has so far been finalised.
“Messi has been in communication with the federation to set up a meeting with the young boy,” AFF spokesman Sayed Ali Kazemi told AFP.
“We are working to see whether Messi will come to Afghanistan or the five-year-old will travel to Spain or they will meet in a third country.”
There was no immediate comment from FC Barcelona.
Setting up a meeting in Afghanistan, in the grip of a fierce Taliban insurgency, is fraught with security challenges.
