Rent movie on iTunes to get free space on iPhone
People who are using Apple's 16GB iPhone variants tend to
run out ofcapacity. On this gadget, a user gets approximately 11GB of user
accessible storage as the rest of it is acquired by the Apple operating system.
In the wake of introducing a couple applications and
putting away photographs, music and recordings, a client ordinarily comes up
short on capacity.
According to a thread on social networking site Reddit,
there is one crazy trick you can try to reclaim some of the used-up space.
The trick involves renting a movie from iTunes. To see
how the trick works, go to Settings > General > About and scroll down to
"Available". Check how much capacityis left and then head to the
iTunes Store.
lSearch for a film which is greaterthan the space left on
your phone. For example if the available space is 4GB, choose a movie whose
file size is greater than 4GB. Then click "Rent" at the top of the
page. The user will not be charged as the phone does not have enough space to
download it and a message will apper saying "you don't have enough
available storage". After clicking "OK", head back to settings
and check your available storage again. A significant increase in the available
storage space should be visible. You can repeat the entire process a few times.
"As of now, it's unclear on how the trick works, but it probably has got
to do with some cache and other storage from apps getting cleaned up," .
'Premium smartphones to hit 5-mn mark in 2016'
Shipment of premium handsets (Rs 30,000 price above) is
likely to touch 5-million mark 2016 in India, accounting for 3.5-4 per cent of
the total smartphones shipped.
About 3.3 million premium gadgets were dispatched in
2015, of the total 96.4 million smartphones shipped during the period, CMR said
in a report. This accounted for 3.4 per cent of the total smartphone shipment,
it added. Samsung, Apple and Sony Mobile were the top three premium brands.
Interestingly, crosswise
operating systems, merely 13 per cent of the gadgets were shipped with
the latest version of the OS. "Unfortunately, so far none of the Indian
brands have been able to establish itself in the premium segment.
"However, the recent launch of iPhoneSE will not be
the centre-piece for Apple's growth in India. It would be challenging for
Android to keep its supremacy in OS in this segment despite several vendors
committed to it," it added. This will essentially amplify, if and when,
the Indian brands foray into the premium smartphones category, it said

FIR against Freedom 251 makers premature High court
In a major relief to the creators of
'Freedom 251' smartphone, the Allahabad High Court on Friday said the FIR filed
against the Ringing Bells Pvt. Ltd. -- the Noida-based firm that created a
worldwide buzz after announcing the launch of the controversial smartphone in
February -- seemed premature. A division bench comprising Justices B.K. Narayan
and R.N. Mishra ordered that no coercive step be taken against the company's
officials and their business till the next hearing on May 18.
During the course of listening , the bench
kept on asking the prosecution legal advisors as to how an offence under
Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was made out against the producers
of 'Freedom 251' smartphone but no cogent reply was offered. The court then
ordered them to file a reply within two weeks. A first information report (FIR)
was registered in March against Ringing Bells director Mohit Goel and company
president Ashok Chaddha under Section 420 of the IPC as well as the Information
Technology (IT) Act on a complaint filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader
Kirit Somaiya. The court also allowed the petitioners the liberty to move an
application for the release of their passports. "We are very happy with
today's (Friday's) order. We shall now press for the quashing of the FIR as
there is no merit in it and extraneous factors have gone into its lodging. This
FIR is a strategy to derail the timely launch of the flagship product of the
company," said Abhishek Vikram, counsel for Ringing Bells. "The
company has already sold 28,000 units of its other products and has developed
innovative strategies to meet its cost for delivering the smartphone for Rs.251
