[CES 2014] Lenovo today announced a “super-sized” smartphone that’s big on multimedia. The S930 touts a 6 inch 1,280×720 pixel resolution display which effectively places it in the phablet category. It has a 1.3GHz quadcore MediaTek processor under the hood coupled with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of onboard storage.

When it comes to choosing a smartphone platform, there are definitely stereotypes involved and that’s definitely a debate for another time, but according to a recent study, which is sure to raise a few eyebrows and spark some intense arguments, it seems that iPhone users are found to be smarter compared to other brands and platforms.

The thing about app stores is that usually whoever owns the app stores get a cut of the revenue that developers make. It’s common practice and it applies to Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, all of whom have app stores themselves.

We’re sure there are still plenty of users out there who are using some of Apple’s legacy products, such as second-generation iPhones or iPod touches, devices that unfortunately did not make the cut when it came to updating to any of Apple’s newer iOS updates, such as iOS 7. Unfortunately this is the case of older hardware, whereby the components might not have enough juice to support the newer visuals and features brought about by new software updates. We have seen this happen to computers in the past, so this is really no surprise. The good news is that if you still own said devices and would love to see some iOS 7 features brought to your iPhone or iPod touch, you might be in luck.
