Samsung Galaxy Note7 renders and name leaked

It seems Samsung has opted to skip a number and go from Note 5 to Note7. The above renders  from Evan Blass confirm the name and some of the colours expected from Sammy's next-gen phablet. What else do we know about this device, it will have a double edge display, an iris scanner and will offer the SPen Stylus which will hopefully be better designed than the Note 5's notorious SPen which could get stuck when placed the wrong way in. We're hearing August 2 is the release date for the device, at least in the UK.

The Apple Beat: Pressure mounts on Apple to make iPhone 7 truly great

“Skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been,” that’s a quote by the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, which Steve Jobs referenced during the momentous launch of the original iPhone in 2007.

Jobs continued by saying, “we try to understand as we develop our product road map, what’s going to be exciting in the future. And that’s one of the advantages we have over our competitors. Our competitors tend to put the cross hairs on where we are now, and by the time they come up with a product that tries to match where we are now, we’re beyond them. We’re one or two generations beyond, moving faster than they are.”

That was the spirit of innovation that powered the Apple engine and that’s what made the iPhone such an audacious, brave and, in hindsight, timely invention. But the world has changed and while Apple is still the most valuable company, the pressure is on to see if it is still the most innovative.
