this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by lynda.com what's up everyone welcome back to episode of rumor roundup I am your host John Rogers to show where we take all the tech rumors from the week and there was a whole bunch room this week and I think the three before I think they're the most interesting most thought-provoking and sometimes the craziest and I share them with you in one video of this week it looks like Samsung is getting to virtual reality how durable will the iPhone 6 actually be and once it does last or not lasts how long is it gonna give you on a single charge from around up let's start just rounding things up go ahead and start with a virtual reality side of things so back in May if you remember correctly we learned Samsung was developing its own VR headset even working directly to folks at oculus to develop the software for it now a report from Sam mobiles and pre liable in the past it's reading a bit more light on a device which it claims will be called not unexpectedly the gear VR headset did fall somewhere between through the oculus rift project Morpheus and Google cardboard offering a high tech design that still requires a smartphone to function for the fully the gear VR will apparently work with Samsung handsets and won't law no surprise there and only Samsung has handsets they will slide into the front and connect via USB 3.0 the device should then work by tracking your head movement with a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope to create a VR experience so kind of similar to Google cardboard like I mentioned or the touchpad on the side and the exterior camera that can stream the real world so I rented reality experience this is crazy to me you're streaming the real world through AI just look at the real world if you're missing a lot of beautiful things you know you might not be able to see what restaurants eight blocks away with augmented reality but you might miss the gorgeous flowers to your right the design also includes an elastic headband and pad at Kristen's for added comfort so the rubber bands it's just elastic the gear VR reportedly launched this September at IFA which we will be at what happens in Berlin where Samsung expected to also unveil the Galaxy Note this many there's still no word on pricing but we're guessing this first generation of your handset won't come cheap so VR like it's here I don't know what the useless thing is to play want Angry Birds with dirt and maybe I'm gonna look back this video in a year and be like well John you totally missed the point I'm just saying the art using your phone as a screen doesn't make sense the oculus and you can play games this you're still stuck with the end I don't know maybe I'm wrong if there's something cool you do the VR leave in the comments because I would love to be proven wrong on this one and what would rumor roundup be without iPhone this for you it's probably this this many we've seen quite a few pictures revealing the iPhone 6 alleged curb screen and now we're getting a super in-depth look at just how strong that screen gonna be fitted with sapphire crystals our good friend marques Brownlee at mkbhd shows off what he says apart straight from Apple's assembly line and holy crap is this thing durable like whole style of strong so sure it looks pretty much the same as current iPhones just bigger and that's sort of not enough it's also super indestructible as a video kind of shows Apple fans are gonna have a pretty big reason I think to want to upgrade this fall the putty speculation surrounding how Apple is gonna use Sapphira through ports saying only the big daddy 5.5 inch model is going to use that strong material but given this leak and the previous leaks past and the video that we've seen it appears Apple will indeed you sapphire in both its iPhones this fall and probably in the iWatch too Apple has previously used sapphire crystal in the home button and camera lens on the iPhone 5s but this new design will bring it to crazy new levels if indeed the part that marques is showing on the video is indeed sapphire or hopeful the iPhone 6 is gonna be pretty much impervious to wear and tear and my infant he like to try and eat my phone and for those clumsier of you might even be able to withstand drops which has been the bane of every smartphone or existence for a very long time especially the iPhone 4 or 4s with glass back just shatter I never to test of how durable the supposed 4.7 inch iPhone 6 panel is mkbhd puts it through some serious gruesome tests by just chilling it with a knife and then the set of keys he goes at it pretty hard to it harder than your average phone would you know see on a daily use just sort of in your pocket and the panel is essentially left totally unscathed even the sharp knife is no match for that burly sapphire crystal getting essentially zero damage it's really really impressive so they go out screen protectors once and for all I'm gonna be

we know your iPhone 6 is gonna be super durable but how long is that suckers gonna last you on a charged battery life is definitely one of the biggest issues I think plaguing smartphone industry screens and process have gotten way faster batteries kind of stayed the same an apples iPhone lineup is definitely no exemption exception you might have thought though that the bigger 4.7 and 5.5 inch model is launching this year would leave room for a larger battery but it might be wrong according to the report out of China the upcoming handset may not offer much of an improvement when it comes to battery power this is a sad face spotted by g4 games earlier in the week every port claims a 4.7 inch iPhone 6 will potentially offer an eighteen hundred million power battery while the larger 5.5 one which will be named the iPhone airs a separate rumor will support a twenty five hundred million power battery and the salt increase from the 1570 milliamp hour on the 5s hopefully it'll mean longer battery life though it could just be enough power to support those friggin larger displays without adding any extra juice again those rumors new try out to be true though the iPhone 6 still won't come close to Android competition it comes to battery size Samsung's 5.1 inch Galaxy s5 sports a twenty eight hundred million power battery the g3 has got a three thousand milliamp hour battery then again Apple's always had a nice knack for getting most out of its hardware cuz they do control the software side too so I wouldn't rule out its or a better battery life from a iPhone 6 quite yet I then activated to unveil the iPhone 6 till September the company rarely reveals any battery size information at all so kind of to open it up and just look at it that means it could be quite a while before anyone cracked open this new phone and reveals all of its glorious secrets inside but I'm hopeful that we'll get better battery life fingers crossed is battery life on the iPhone 5s is kind of average
