As recently as last month, a report had indicated the next Nexus handset would be based on the recently launched LG G3, but now according to an LG executive quoted in an interview, this might not be the case.<br /> In a recent <a href="http://www.draadbreuk.nl/mobiel/geen-nexus-6-van-lg/" target="_blank">interview</a> with draadbreuk website (<a href="http://www.phonearena.com/news/There-wont-be-a-Nexus-6-from-LG-says-a-company-exec_id57247" target="_blank">via</a> Phonearena), Ken Hong, LG's Communications Director, stated that if Google was planning a Nexus 6 with LG, they must have approached LG by now, like it happened with Nexus 5 .<br /> "I know at least not yet. Normally, we were informed," Hong stated. "That can mean two things. Either I got ignored, or we simply won't be making [the Nexus 6]," he quipped.<br /> Hong also stated that he is fine with other manufacturers creating devices in the Nexus lineup. "If you can develop a Google phone that gives credibility. But money you earn is not easy, and you become too dependent on Google," he added.<br /> The LG executive also spoke about supply issues related to Nexus handsets, with special reference to the Nexus 5, "Google determines how many phones are to be made, and we do that. If it is stated that LG produces too few Nexus phones, the media then is simply incorrect. We get asked, we deliver."<br /> The news however contradicts last month's reports where it was reported that Google, after the Nexus 5, is again in talks with LG for making the Nexus 6, and is additionally negotiating deals with several Asian fingerprint sensor suppliers.<br /> It was also speculated that Google might not include the same 5.5-inch display as the LG G3, as it plans to include a fingerprint sensor below the display, meaning a smaller display would be used.<br /> Moreover, the next Nexus smartphone as per Sundar Pichai, Senior Vice President at Google in charge of Android, Chrome and Google Apps, is scheduled to arrive in the second half of 2014.<br /> For the rumoured Nexus 8 tablet, we can only assume the involvement of HTC and Asus, companies that have been speculated to make the next Nexus tablet. The rumoured tablet might arrive as soon as next week at the Google I/O 2014 event based on the increasing number of leaks. Earlier this month, the alleged Nexus 8 tablet surfaced online in a low-res image. Some of the specifications based on leaks and rumours include a chipset with 64-bit architecture, 3GB of RAM and 8.9-inch display.<br /> </div> </div> <div> <div style="float: left; width: 100%;"> </div> </div> <i>For the latest technology news and reviews, like us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cyberaddictedblog" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or follow us on <a href="http://twitter.com/cyber_addicted" target="_blank">Twitter</a> </i></div> Google Nexus 6 Will Not Be Made by Us: LG Executive ...

However, this is the first time we have heard details of the alleged iPhone 6's new sensor system.<br /> <br /> The details about the possible presence of a new sensor on the anticipated iPhone 6 come via references found in Xcode 6 and iOS 8, which are the latest iPhone software developer kit (SDK) and operating system. The report claims that the software includes updated CoreMotion APIs, which include reference of the new altitude measuring capabilities. A 9to5mac report claims that there are a number of apps in the App Store which can track altitude and one of them is even listed on the company's <a href="https://www.apple.com/your-verse/elevating-expedition/" target="_blank">Your Verse</a> section.<br /> <br /> Notably, the reference of the new altitude measuring capabilities in Xcode 6 and iOS 8 is a new framework that is dedicated to altitude tracking. The report, citing a few developers, claims that this framework requires a new Apple hardware.<br /> The report informs the App Store currently comes with apps that use the iOS device's inbuilt GPS and motion chips to determine altitude; however, a barometer sensor could get more accurate data and could be quick to load data, thanks to the dedicated chip.<br /> <br /> A developer from FutureTap, as cited by 9to5mac, tested the new framework on an iPhone 5s, which in result confirmed that the device [iPhone 5s] did not support the altitude changes.<br /> <br /> The report speculates that the new sensor could be a part of, and be powered by, the alleged iPhone 6's M8 motion co-processor that's said to be a part of the expected A8 processor rumoured to debut on the alleged iPhone 6 and be designed for improved efficiency and battery life.<br /> <br /> Reports have been tipping that Apple's next iPhone would hit shelves on September 19. The Cupertino-based company has been rumoured to be testing a higher screen resolution of 960x1704 pixels on at least one of the two iPhone models likely to debut this year.</div> </div> <div> <div style="float: left; width: 100%;"> </div> </div> <i><a href="http://twitter.com/NDTVGadgets" target="_blank"></a> </i></div> </div> <div> <div style="float: left; width: 100%;"> </div> </div> <i>For the latest technology news and reviews, like us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Cyberaddictedblog" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or follow us on <a href="http://twitter.com/cyber_addicted" target="_blank">Twitter</a> </i><br /> <div class="newslist_img"> <br /></div> </div> iPhone 6 May Feature Barometer and Air Pressure Sensors in Share 1 ...
