Apple co-founder says the Gear VR ‘makes me emotional’

Steve Wozniak is one of the co-founders of Apple. He’s not involved with the company anymore but he’s known for expressing his views on latest technology, and he feels no qualms in praising the biggest rival of the company he helped create. Speaking at a conference in Lexington, Kentucky, where he received the Alltech Humanitarian Award, Wozniak revealed that the Gear VR makes him emotional.

He spoke highly of Samsung’s virtual reality headset, saying that “It takes you to other worlds. It’s so real. It’s everywhere you look. That one gets me emotional.” He also appears to be a bit sad that Apple hasn’t come out with a virtual reality device yet, hoping that the company is working on a VR device that’s “advanced compared to the ones we’re seeing.” Who knows when Apple is going to step into the world of VR but at least we know that Samsung will continue working to cement its position in the VR market.

Galaxy S7 Active now available for purchase from AT&T

AT&T formally announced the Galaxy S7 Active earlier this month after weeks of rumors and leaks. The handset was Samsung’s worst kept secret before it was unveiled so there really wasn’t anything left to find out about it except for the pricing and availability details. Customers in the United States can now purchase the Galaxy S7 Active from AT&T. The handset is available exclusively from the second largest carrier in the country in Titanium Gray, Camo Green, and Sandy Gold colors.

The Galaxy S7 Active has specifications similar to the regular Galaxy S7, it does have a rather impressive 4,000mAh battery and MIL STD-810G protection against bumps, drops, and the elements. No wonder Samsung is targeting field workers with this rugged smartphone. Interested customers can either pay $794.99 upfront and buy the handset or pay $26.50 per month for 30 months on A&T Next plan or $33.13 per month for 24 months on AT&T Next Every Year plan. The Galaxy S7 Active can be purchased from AT&T online and through the carrier’s retail stores.

Samsung pushes out June security update for the Galaxy Note 5 in Australia

Just three days after it detailed the contents of this month’s Security Maintenance Release (SMR), Samsung has started distributing the update for the unlocked variant of the Galaxy Note 5 located in Australia. The upgrade transports all of Google’s latest patches to the handset, in addition to a plethora of Samsung-specific optimizations, which includes a much-needed patch for a vulnerability that enabled prying eyes to bypass the lock screen using a USB cable.

If you own an Australian model of the unlocked Galaxy Note 5 and would like to see if the firmware is ready for your device, you can do so by heading into the Settings screen, tapping About Device, selecting Software Update, then hitting the Update Now button. However, if you don’t feel like delving through the menus, you could always wait until you receive a push notification prompting you to download the OTA. It’s worth noting that you will need at least 50% of battery to receive the alert, though.
