SE iPhone, for Apple demand above expectation – PianetaCellulare.it

Apple has not said how many new iPhone SE has sold since the launch of the iPhone in April, but during the conference call to discuss the results of the company in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the company’s executives have said that the application for the device was “very strong” and higher than expected .

According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, SE iPhone puts Apple in a strategic plan to attract new clients since it is square a price range “accessible” and has important specifications.

Cook said that Apple is working hard to meet demand and reduce the delay for the shipment of new orders of the device. In fact, since its launch, the availability of the iPhone according SE piu ‘sources has short supply despite the lackluster sales reports. In recent weeks, the new SE iPhone orders receive as estimated delivery time two or three weeks, which suggests that Apple struggles to meet demand for the device.

The point is that the iPhone IF we can ‘is considered a mobile’ available ‘but only in the United States. In fact, while other side of the smartphone you can ‘buy starting at $ 399 – equivalent to 352 Euros at current exchange rates – here in Italy, prices start from 509 euro.

The news that according to Apple’s new iPhone SE it is selling well arrive at the same time that Apple has segnalaro its first quarterly decline in iPhone sales in 13 years, or since 2007 since the first the iPhone was launched. During the first three months of the year, Apple sold 51 million iPhone, 10 million less than the 61 million sold in the same period of 2015. We do not know how many of these are iPhone SE, since Apple does not differentiate between models, but remember that iPhone SE in the quarter was only available for the last reference month.

Apple in the second quarter 2016 (third fiscal) provides the same drop in iPhone sales trend, providing a turnover of 41 billion to 43 billion dollars – in the same quarter of the previous Apple posted revenue of 49.6 billion dollars.

In comparison, 49 percent of those who bought an iPhone 6S in the first weekend of availability was from a previous iPhone.

An interesting fact is that 10 percent of those who bought an iPhone online SE on the first weekend of availability that have replaced their Android device that have bought online in the previous two years, according to the research firm.

The data on the formation of the SE iPhone owners also indicate that the new iPhone approaches iPhone market a new audience .

And while the education and income are generally factors “closely” related, there were no significant differences in income among iPhone buyers SE and those of other iPhone.

Before making judgments about the fact that the new iPhone SE is a success or not, we note that Slice Intelligence analyzed orders of more than 4 million online shoppers.

iPhone SE, demand above expectation – Webnews

During the presentation of the tax results Q2 2016 , the first quarter down to Apple, the company did not disclose the number of iPhone SE already placed on the market. As usual, in fact, the only group provides cumulative data relating to the iPhone line, also the 4-inch model is especially likely involving the fourth next. However, some useful revelation comes from Tim Cook .

According to a statement on the sidelines of the conference call last night, it seems that the demand for iPhone SE is “very strong”, more than the group of Cupertino would have expected. So much so that, in a short time, the demand has far exceeded availability, running out briefly the available stocks.

We are thrilled with the response that we have noted. It is clear that there is more demand than we thought. This explains the current limited availability.

Looking forward to find out what Apple’s official figures, perhaps revealed in Q3, several companies have launched the third analysis forecasts and surveys in recent weeks. There is sufficient agreement to support as iPhone SE is not doing sparks at home, where maybe the users head on the flagship iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, but the device seems to attract a large number of consumers in Asia. Especially in China, where iPhone SE is sold out for days, with a greater demand for the model from the gold shell, closely followed by the pink shades gold. Always a few days ago, also the news of how the four-inch Apple is undermining the market of some of the most famous Android manufacturers, which are usually chosen from native producers because of the very competitive prices.

iPhone SE is the new 4-inch smartphone of Cupertino: with a design inherited from the iPhone 5S, refined and improved over the previous edition, the smartphone sees a virtually comparable hardware sector to the iPhone 6S, so as to match their performance on the benchmarks.

Apple, iPhone sales drop: profits down 22%, is the first time since 2003 – The Messenger

The race without Apple’s brakes stop with iPhone sales down for the first time in history. Apple in the second quarter of the fiscal year with a net profit down 22% to $ 10.5 billion, or $ 1.90 per share, below analysts’ expectations, betting on $ 2.00 per share. Revenues were down 13% to 50.6 billion dollars. The results below expectations sink Apple stocks in after hours trading, where do you lose 8%. It was a “tough quarter,” said Tim Cook in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, noting that Apple has had to face “strong headwinds.”

To weigh is the slowdown in iPhone sales: after eight years unchallenged growth since it was launched in 2007, sales were down in the quarter, down by 16.3% to 51.19 million iPhone against 61.17 million in the same period last year. The accounts will also feel the slowdown in China. Sales in the second economy in the world fell by 26% to $ 12.5 billion. For the third quarter, Apple expects revenue of 41 billion to 43 billion dollars, below expectations of analysts betting on 47.3 billion dollars. The first drop in Apple’s revenues in 13 years feeds the doubts of the analysts on the prospects of the company. Over the past 13 years Apple has come a long way, from a market capitalization of 5 billion dollars to 579 billion dollars, with which the company is worth more to the world.

The iPhone it is Apple’s growth engine and its first brake is immediately felt on Cupertino accounts, confirming the doubts of observers in recent months. The iPhone accounted for 65% of Apple’s revenue in the second quarter. The iPhone’s slowdown was not balanced by other products. The iPad sales fell for the ninth consecutive quarter, falling by 19% to 10.25 million units. In announcing the Apple accounts states that will expand the capital distribution plan to shareholders, including dividends and share repurchases. Apple plans to distribute $ 250 billion by March 2018, an increase over the $ 200 billion planned for March 2017.

Apple sells less iPhone for the first time since 2007 – PianetaCellulare.it

It ‘s official: Apple reported its first quarterly decline in sales of the iPhone since the product launch in 2007 , with shipments in the first quarter of 2016 (second fiscal quarter for Apple), down 16 percent to 51.2 million units. A figure that is lower than the 61.1 million phones that the company sold in the same period last year, although in line with the 51 million units that analysts were expecting it sold in the three months ending in March.

in the relationship when Apple announced its official financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, ended March 26, 2016, it states that the Cupertino company recorded in the months between January and March 2016 a revenue of 50.6 billion dollars and net quarterly profit of $ 10.5 billion , or $ 1.90 per diluted share.

It is a significant drop compared to the same period last year, when the company had revenues of $ 58 billion and net quarterly profit of $ 13.6 billion, equal to $ 2.33 per diluted share.

in Q1 2016, Apple reported a gross margin of 39.4 percent, compared to 40.8 percent recorded in the same quarter a year before.

Apple’s international sales accounted for 67 percent the quarter’s revenue.

Tim Cook, Apple CEO, seeks to deny evidete drop in earnings Societo explaining that “our team has worked extremely well in the face of macroeconomic turbulence. We are very pleased with the continued strong growth in revenues from services, thanks to Apple’s incredible ecosystem strength and to our base, an increase of over one billion active devices. “

With regard to the second quarter of the year, the fiscal third of the 2016 companies, Apple expects revenue of between $ 41 billion and $ 43 billion, a gross margin between 37.5 percent and 38 percent, operating expenses between $ 6 billion and $ 6.1 billion, other income / (expense) of $ 300 million.

beyond what Cook wants us to believe, this 2016 will be a very difficult year for the Cupertino company.

for Apple 2016 will be a year to forget according to forecasts of analysts of Piper Jaffrey who predicted a decline in iPhone shipments in the first quarter of 2016, while Morgan Stanley is expected that iPhone sales will drop during the entire financial year of Apple in 2016 by as much as 5.7 percent . Also Tim Cook had reached the same conclusion: “We think that the units sold by the iPhone will drop in [first] quarter,” said the CEO of the company. Meanwhile, KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a reliable source of information and forecasts about the world of Apple products and services, expected that iPhone shipments will continue to decline in 2016.

Kuo Ming-Chi – an analyst at KGI – believes that the iPhone’s total shipments for the current year will probably fall below 200 million units. The analyst also predicts that Apple will not be able to return soon to his time when recorded sales of phone records, and in particular iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus expected next September will fail to beat the current record of sales established by predecessors models.

the decline in sales for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6S Plus, according to the analyst, is due to the fact that in emerging markets consumers are not willing (and can not afford) to change iPhone every year, while in developed markets simply there is a low demand.

According to reports, the next iPhone 7 will introduce new features such as a configuration dual-chamber, more thin and light design, no headphone jack, wireless connectivity Lifi and more. Despite these innovations, the analyst KGI Apple will fail the same to recover the lost sales in recent months.

In addition, KGI is skeptical that iPhone SE will be a success.

the investment firm Piper Jaffrey has recently revised its estimates for Apple’s iPhone shipments for 2016. It ‘a change in default, down 12%, with the forecast for the first quarter ended in March 2016 55 million units sold – the previous estimate was 62.5 million units sold. The official number, as announced in April by Apple in its earnings report, is 51.2 million units, thus marking the first decline in iPhone shipments – on an annual basis – the launch of the original iPhone in 2007.

the fall of the estimate of analysts following the rumors in recent weeks that the Cupertino company has reduced orders for new iPhone to multiple suppliers.

the iPhone has been a product on which Apple has made the biggest gains in recent months, with sales of Melafonino that have grown every year since the launch of the first model. Things are changing, from 2016, at least according to the chief financial analyst at Morgan Stanley Katy Huberty, who predicted that iPhone sales will drop during ‘financial year 2016 Apple as much as 5.7 percent.

Entering the concrete numbers for Morgan Stanley iPhone sales for the 2016 financial year will drop to 218 million units, down from 231 million units sold in the year 2015.

Why falling sales of the iPhone in 2016? According to a note of Huberty, the decline is caused by an increase in prices in the international markets (such as China), and the penetration rate in developed markets which affect the growth of users.

Despite the decline in sales of the iPhone, Huberty predicts that Apple’s revenue will increase, a growth of about 2 percent, thanks to growth in sales of set-top box Apple TV and the Apple Watch smartwatch.

it ‘a pretty important prediction, why would mark a turning point for the Cupertino company, which is heavily dependent on the iPhone, since about two-thirds of its profits that are generated from the sale Melafonino.

in addition to Morgan Stanley and KGI , also JPMorgan does not provide good things for Apple, since it expects a decline anticipated the iPhone 6S question. Usually the demand of the current model generation of iPhone falls into the summer when is keenly awaiting the release of new iPhone, while this year the decline iPhone 6s has already started beginning of 2016.

After the words of analysts, at the event to present the financial results for the latest fiscal quarter, the Apple CEO talking about the future sales of various models of the iPhone, confirmed rumors about a possible decline in the first quarter of 2016.

Apple, you know, is a very strong brand around the world, and in recent years we have become accustomed to the idea that each new iPhone is able to beat its predecessor in terms of sales and popularity. Every year that passes, more and more iPhones are sold in every store of the globe, but it looks like we got to the saturation of high-end market. Consumers, in fact, began to prefer the cheaper competitive proposals, or is content of the model of iPhone you have. It is not a positive consideration for Apple, but not for this must be disturbing. With the confirmation of sales in the first quarter of 2016 came the confirmation that Apple has recorded his first actual decline in smartphone sales since the iPhone was launched in 2007. Each electronic object suffers drop in sales, and is amazing how the iPhone has managed to register record after record in all these years. It is the beginning of the end? Not really: Tim Cook is confident about the future, so that we expect further increases in sales during the second quarter of 2016.

The two statements are decidedly inferior to last year, when Apple had clocked 58 billion in revenue and 13.6 billion net profit. In short, it is the first decline in sales on an annual basis for 13 years now .

 
 

The company led by Tim Cook did not disclose the number of Apple Watch sold, nor that of Apple TV, iPod, Beats headphones and accessories. All these products are recorded as “Other Products” that has grown by almost 30%, from 1.69000000000 to 2.19000000000. According to the CFO Luca Maestri most of the growth is attributable to the Apple Watch.

 
 

The US company also recorded a increase in sales related to services (App Store, Mac App Store, Apple Music, iTunes Store, Apple Pay, iCloud, etc..), An increase of 20% to 5.99 billion. Apple Music, in particular, has reached 13 million subscribers compared to 11 million in February.

 
 
 
 

Today as in the past iPhone remains the towing of Apple accounts and if the smartphone sales slow down (those of the new iPhone SE does not fall in this quarter), the company holding back. For that Apple is trying to increase revenue from software and services, capitalizing on a base of over one billion active devices.

 
 

“We could not have the wind behind us as before, but things are much more stable than most people think,” said CEO Tim Cook. The manager explained that the slowdown in sales of the iPhone is tied to the lower refresh rate iPhone 6s compared to that recorded for the iPhone 6, although the number is higher when compared to the passage to the iPhone 5s.

 
 

According to Cook in the last six months the iPhone was mainly bought by people who previously had other smartphones (Android), while emerging markets have allowed Apple to collect the favor of those who buy for the first time a smartphone: iPhone sales in India, for example, grew by 56%.

 
 

For the third fiscal quarter Apple provides a turnover between 41 and 43 billion dollars, or a new drop compared with 49.6 billion in the same period last year.

Nokia takes another step to return to being a consumer electronics. With 170 million euro buy the Withings French, one of the most interesting realities in wearable, the protagonist from some editions of the CES in Las Vegas (this year its Bluetooth thermometer to test the temperature of the children was awarded one of the innovation awards). Withings has a wide range of products e-health: monitoring tools, thermometers, scales, blood pressure monitors, control monitor for homes and children, and the software side, is building a digital platform to help people make more informed decisions on their well-being.

There is also one smartwatch that has the aesthetic features of a regular analog clock but actually using sensors behaves like a mix between Apple watch and Fitbit, except that the result is not see the display on the wrist, which is not digital, but on your smartphone via app. This way you can virtually forget to recharge the battery. Withings, founded in 2008, has its headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, and employs about 200 people.

The French company will be part of Nokia Technologies division. From 2013, the year in which the Finns have sold to Microsoft’s mobile division, Nokia is primarily a company network infrastructure and strengthened a year ago by buying Alcatel-Lucent (acquisition which was followed by several staff cuts). Here the division, with maps, was instead sold for US $ 3 billion to a consortium of German auto manufacturers.

The agreements with Microsoft Nokia predicted that the mark was not used on new mobile devices until 2016. The renewed ambitions in the consumer world could lead to an Android smartphone later this year, difficult challenge in such a market competitive. More interesting is the path that is undertaking in wearable and IoT. Up to now the return to the device saw OZO, camera for virtual reality, and the N1 Android tablet for the Chinese market.

Cupertino works at the Apple Watch that phone alone. Processor and more powerful battery – The Republic

Rome – One year after the market launch – April 24, 2015 in the United States, on June 26 in Italy – the Apple Watch seeks a jump quality. In particular, the engineers at Cupertino WOULD work because the device can phone alone, without the other side of the next-generation iPhone. The rumor comes from the Wall Street Journal website.

In fact, the US financial newspaper presents new approaches without too much emphasis. Its source is “people familiar with the matter”, while Apple has denied any comment. The site also bet on a faster processor that could give the Apple Watch the sprint when he misses, and a stack of longer duration. The device should be recharged every day, today.

Already in March, the market and fans had expected the second version of the device, which have been changed for the time being only the straps. But some major changes are inevitable because Tim Cook, the successor to Steve Jobs, is betting a lot on Apple Watch, his first real creature. And ads can reach between 13 and 17 June in San Francisco, at the next World Wide Developer Conference, the conference for developers.

Cupertino wants to bet strong on a product that did not disappoint his hopes as sales. Official figures even here there are, but the Wall Street Journal speculates that have been placed 12 million watches, 61% of all outstanding smartwatch. And since the average price is $ 500, the segment is already worth 12 million for the company. Speaking of price, Apple cut the $ 50 that the small Apple Watch Sport, which now starts at $ 299.

WhatsApp, the new scam disguises herself as a discount – The Republic

voucher from 150 euro arrives via chat, not to trust is better. The confirmation is in yet another hoax, most recently, traveling WhatsApp promising users a coupon to spend from Zara, prior survey. It ‘s so that you embark on a meandering path with the phone, between click and answers to the quiz which is diverted to answer some questions on buying habits in the clothing chain known used as a cover.

Soon after, take the’ invitation to submit the test to other contacts (three in chat groups or 10 members in the phonebook) so as to ensure their dissemination. After entering the required ten users, while time flows inexorably, you end up on a gossip site where it is easy to pay for a subscription that is not explicitly subscribed to dry up the telephone traffic.

It is not certain the first (and certainly not even the last one) case of fraud ” transmitted ” from social networks. Already Instagram with the ” gift card ” in 2014 and last year Facebook , with a similar discount formula of 500 euro, had ended up in the crosshairs of the sites -truffa willingly – even if unconsciously – are shared by followers.

There are so many these days also reports of another alleged ” deal ” announced via WhatsApp with a message from unknown numbers (not present in the phone book), which warns of a ” sell ” iPhone 6S up on Amazon, at bargain prices for packaging problems unspecified. Too bad the landing, clicking on shortlink, is a site ” clone ” where sensitive data is required.

It dates back less than a month ago another fake promotion that promised discounts of 50 € on purchases at H & amp; M , as widespread clothing brand of the Spanish one under which the new buffalo masquerades. Nothing to do with viruses and malware, in fact, seen that in both cases is a scam that is spread by personal initiative, hiding a subscription mechanism to non-transparent services.

In the case of false promotional message weblog H & M, it ran into a subscription that cost 4.99 euro per month to the victim. A drawback that is not always apparent immediately, if not after checking the remaining credit of your phone pairing. In that case, just contact your carrier to your cancellation. When in doubt, always better to stay away from promotions before you test them directly with the retailer in order to avoid the scam in disguise.

Emoji cause misconceptions and misunderstandings on different platforms – PianetaCellulare.it

The emoji, those symbols that are often used in emails, sms or chat, to express an emotion or simply to type less letters and write more ‘fast, are changing the way we communicate online. But they can also be confusing, not only because today there are so many different icons that sometimes it is hard to understand the significance, but also because the different platforms that use them to express the same concept show a different image.

new research GroupLens Lab of the University of Minnesota suggests that people often have conflicting interpretations of the exact same emoji – and that differences in how emoji are displayed on a device over another further complicate things.

As reported by the researchers of the study, a large part of the problem is that not all of the emoji are equal. Unicode, the status of the computer industry standard that seeks to unify characters and the text of each emoji, now recognizes more than 1,000 different emoticons. Unicode provides a code and description for each emoji – for example, U + 1F600 is the code for the classic “smiley face”, but the image can ‘be different depending on the manufacturer (Samsung, Apple, Google, etc.) and service providers (Whatsapp, Messenger, etc.).

Therefore, companies like Facebook, Google, Apple and others can use the icon they want to express a code determined by the Unicode standard.

the code U + 1F600 Unicode corresponds to the classical “smiling face”, the Unicode code U + 1F603 corresponds to the “smiling face with an open mouth”, the code U + 1F60E Unicode to the “smiling face with glasses sun “, the code U + 1F60D Unicode to the” smiling face with hearts for eyes “, the code of U + 1F618 at Unicode” face that blows a kiss “, the code U + 1F602 at Unicode” face that laughs and cry from too much laughter, “the code U + 1F60A Unicode to” face that laughs satisfied “:, the code U + 1F609 at Unicode” face that winks. ” Here are some examples of emoji:

As you can see, some companies are wont to use the same icon to identify a same code – Twitter and Apple use the same icons for the codes U + U + 1F600 and 1F603, for example.

An analysis of the emoji with code U + 1F601 Unicode for “grinning face and smiling eyes, Hannah Miller is the team of those who led the study, he explained that “some have described [the emoji U + 1F601] Google as a face ‘blissfully happy’ and Apple as a ‘ready to face to fight ‘. “

the study looked at 22 different emoji and how they are displayed on smartphones from five different manufacturers – Apple, Google, Microsoft, LG and Samsung. the researchers asked about 300 people to view a random subset of 15 versions of emoji, describe and classify them on a -5 to 5 scale where -5 is a strong negative sentiment and 5 a strongly positive feeling.

on average, respondents thought that Apple’s version of emoji with “grinning face and smiling eyes” means something bad, but Google’s version and other something good.

This difference in visualization and interpretation of moji can ‘then lead to communication problems – if a person with the Samsung smartphone sends an emoji that of an Apple device is shown in a different way, could create misunderstandings.

the solution is intuitive: Unicode should find an agreement with manufacturers and developers to also unify the icons, because “users could only benefit from the design of the unification between the different platforms,” ​​explain the researchers who conducted the survey.

Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg changes algorithm here is what to change and what to see – The Messenger

Mark Zuckerberg is having fun again. Early April (as at August 2014) Facebook has intervened again on their algorithm and the main impact it is having on the News Feed, specifically on gender and origin of content that each user sees scroll, favoring those for which each employs more time to read them.

“We are working to improve the News Feed, updating it to make sure you see the most relevant stories first” write the engineer Moshe Blank and Jie Xu sullaNewsroom researcher of social networks. “With this change – continuing – we can better understand what items might be of interest based on how long you used to read them.”

Translated: the aim is to promote the articles that keep users glued to reading and not only those that generate the most interaction with comments or ‘Likes’.

the two new parameters are introduced the reading time (or vision) and the diversity of the post. In simple terms, for every Facebook external link calculates the time spent reading it (or to view it) in your browser or Instant Article version, removing from the count employed seconds to load the page. In addition, the reading time will not be calculated in absolute terms, to avoid exclusively favor the very long articles, but with a whole series of parameters.

The social network wants to understand which is the interest generated by a content to reward items that will determine attention that exceeds the minute, faster than beds and closed in a heartbeat. In addition, through the diversity of the post, the algorithm will avoid to show to a user too much news coming from the same page-source.

Of course, everything is already impacting on traffic generated from social networks to the pages and portals that use Facebook as a distribution form of a post.

According to the British ‘Guardian’, “one of the reasons for this change is that Facebook only recently had enough data on user behavior to create such parameters”. Parameters related to the “steady increase in those using the Facebook app on your smartphone”. And that, obviously, the social network would like to keep as a ‘fence’, avoiding their passage through links to other shores.

And any changes that Facebook makes to its algorithm puts it in a strong position compared to Editors: in this regard, the ‘New York Times’ has calculated that 85 cents of every online advertising dollar go to Google or Facebook.

for their part, publishers continue to argue that certain parameters not are often useful, since some studies suggest that the majority of people who come from social networks on a page is generally not more than 15 seconds.

According to the ‘New York Times’, in the online world “publishers have faced many challenges in recent years” but “I am now aware that it happened something deeper: the transition from an Internet site to an Internet App, and social platforms, Facebook in particular.”

Speaking last week at the ‘annual conference of Facebook developers’, Mark Zuckerberg “has shown a diagram with a very bold expansion plan for the next 10 years – we read on the ‘New York Times’ – plan that included several features to help retain people in the Facebook world instead of following the links off. “

And since last April 1, this plan is turning into reality. A reality in which virtually all the online newspapers are marking a generalized decline in visualizzazioniprovenienti the so-called ‘Traffic from Social Network’. Situation that can provoke also use paid listings provided by Facebook.

NewsWhip, a company that tracks the performance of the editors on the most important platforms, argues that the number of links to external sites shared on Facebook , compared to those who use Instant Article, it decreased. The challenge is open.
         

Zara, discount coupons from 150 euro on Whatsapp: this is why you do not click – The Messenger

Receive a voucher for 150 euro for Zara store is an opportunity that is tempting to many, especially if to get it and just answer a few simple questions directly from their smartphone. But be careful, otherwise it is not that of yet another hoax with the scam outlines who is shooting in the last days of Whatsapp.

The process is simple and very similar to what we have already spoken in regard to a similar scam H & M. On the phone a message arrives with a preview of the vouchers, a short link to click and reassuring message of the friend who sent it that says “Just took.” Clicking on the link connecting the quiz, which asks how often you buy from Zara and other questions on consumer habits. Once you answered, to get the good coveted must send the message to ten contacts or three groups before time runs out. Pity then that the good available to be out of stock, but you are invited to participate in other quiz. The risk is that of being activated the subscription services, pay a fee, which can drain the phone traffic. The advice is not to fall into the trap, but if it is too late, it is always best to contact your service provider and ask to cancel all subscription services.

Emoji, we have a problem: there are too many and we do not understand in the same way – The Republic

ONE of those that disorient the most is the smiley face with big teeth on display. Unicode, the international consortium in charge of protecting the interoperability of texts between different computer languages ​​and platforms, has labeled as 1F601 character. Yet, according to the study of GroupLens University of Minnesota Research, prepared for the next edition dell’Icwsm, a major conference on social media, quell’emoji do not understand it the same way. Especially when the send-to-platform, for example platform from Apple to Google, from a Microsoft phone to one LG. This is because, as the users are well aware, the ubiquitous smiley faces now that we use in place of the text in the messaging programs, and recently have been enhanced with new items and characters, ranging aesthetic for various operating systems, from iOS to the various versions Android customized by manufacturers up to Windows 10. And if emoji should be, according to some, “the Englishman of the future” because it can enable understanding between speakers of different languages ​​overcoming any language barrier, we are in bad shape. Surprisingly, another emoji extremely misunderstood in the emotional aspect is also one of those most used, the smiley face that tears with laughter. Follow the one who cries in buckets, and that in fact differ much between the various systems, the monkey who covers his eyes, the sleepy emoji (with next “zzz”, among the least he understood also semantically) and is another of the varied range of these smiling but not too much. They would leave also perplexed that with tongue peeks at the side of his mouth and with a lot of that sad tear, which takes on Samsung for example a setting far more dramatic than elsewhere. Less doubt, however, for those amorous: a few misunderstandings for emoji with heart-shaped eyes, for what wink wink, for the smile, for that puzzled or the plaintive. In short, an initial analysis it appears that – especially from platform to platform and under the profile of the emotion expressed – we get lost street coincidentally with the nuances. That is, with emoji who would like to become bearers of fluids feelings, not too net, but that because of their graphic setting end up in reality to produce a semantic short circuit. After all, who has not ever send and receive emoji not entirely coherent response with expectations?

Obviously emoji have meanings in themselves elastic, that bind to the context of the conversation in progress and this investigation could not be considered. However this is true in particular for objects. If exchange for negative of smilies basically positive, and vice versa, or if we go haywire for a tear, then we have a worrying problem of communication. Using an online survey, the team consists of Hannah Miller, Jacob Thebault-Spieker, Shuo Chang, Isaac Johnson, Loren Terveen and Brent Hecht? It has asked users to establish their own interpretation of 22 of the most popular Unicode characters in the five major platforms. The two questions were pointing just to dig in interpreting variation in terms of sentiment ( “how positive you feel this emoji?”) And semantics ( “what does this emoji?”). The result? Only 4.5% of the examined symbols showed a low level of disagreement. On the contrary, in 25% of cases the participants did not agree on the meaning or the emotional surrender dell’emoji analyzed. That is, if it were positive, neutral or negative. This result occurred within the same operating system, so for example from Apple user to user. Jumping the fence of the platforms, the mistake rate was soaring course.

The survey seems to come throw open far more chaotic scenarios: “We studied 22 of the most popular emoji anthropomorphic but in circulation there are 1,282, including those with no human elements – reads the paper – just as we examined the five most popular platforms. But there are at least 17 with their specific emoji. Finally, we analyzed only one version of each emoji for each platform even if users do not always use the same version of the operating system. for example, the emoji in Android 4.4 are significantly different from those of the fifth version, in turn, different from those of Android 6.1 used in the study. Can not learn about the versions emoji “. Instead, you can imagine the potential level of confusion.

The problem is not only between a platform and another. On Apple’s iOS, for example, the most misunderstood in terms of emotional fallout are the emoji weeping, the infamous face showing teeth with squeezed eyes and hands that would indicate “relax” in the top 3 for LG and Google. Always on the latter, on the contrary, are the various monsters with tear or with red cheeks to leave perplexed. In terms of meaning, however, the iPhone lovers do not understand the disappointed face and perplexed, yet one that grinds his teeth (by far the most misunderstood, use it less), and the smile crinkled. In general, by Microsoft to other platforms, even in this case it is the emoji with intermediate and nuanced made to leave us hanging. To confirm that if we have something clear to say with emoji worthwhile use one rather marked, to dispel any doubt. Otherwise it must say a few words and groped to explain to letters that what you are trying. Rather than rely on a face that could tardirci.

The solution? The consortium Unicode dovebbe make more of an effort with manufacturers and developers: “Our findings suggest that users may only benefit from the design convergence between the various platforms – is still in the investigation of the university law of Minnesota – the fact that the characters are mapped and compatible on different systems does not mean that the interpretation is equally standardized. Bringing together this aesthetic might reduce the variation and break down communication contradictions. But it is true that a high level of misunderstanding also remains inside the same platforms, when people are faced with the same identical symbols. the hypothesis is that there is a sort of compromise when you are analyzing emoji gradient. compromise often leading to a wide range of interpretations wrong. “

Scam Apple ID, circulates false message from Apple – PianetaCellulare.it

If you receive a text message on the phone says he was sent by the Apple support where they are asked to share details about the user name and Apple ID account password should not reply or click on the link provided: it is a scam.

As reported by the the Independent , some users of the iPhone, mainly British, are receiving messages where the sender poses as the Apple support service and asks access to a web site to update the access data to your Apple account, or your username and password, two extremely sensitive data, since whoever is in possession can ‘have access to the entire Apple account.

We must therefore know that the Apple ID will not expire, so any email or SMS asking you to update the data to prevent the profile from being put out are simply scams.

About looms in the scam, then access the website listed in the message and inserts their Apple ID information, it is actually only providing criminals a key to enter his own AppleID profile, which could be used to gain access to personal information of clients, including the number of passport and credit card information.

the message is of the type: “[Name] your Apple ID is due today. To avoid closure confirm the data to [address] – Apple Support. “

Apple at the time made no official comment, but the online support the precise Cupertino group page that the company does not contact never their customers via messages. “As a general rule, never send credit card information, account passwords, or other personal information in an email unless you verify that the recipient is who they say be “, says the company an official support page.

This type of scams do not circulate only via sMS but also often by mail, and are called ‘phishing’ and not just involving the Apple users if someone receives an email from a company (whether it’s PayPal, eBay, Google, etc.) in which you are prompted to ask questions of access to your own account, you need to examine the sender of the message.

If you receive a message or an e-mail which states that your account to a service to which you subscribed has been compromised, to be sure it is good DO NOT CLICK oN aNY LINKS iN THIS mESSAGE, then just open the web browser, go to the homepage of the service in question, and then come in and change the password: this must be done directly in the official website of the service, not clicking on links in messages that you receive.
