After the downfall of Apples share in market, Apple is up with new strategy again. Some days before we have told the reason behind Apples downfall.

Now it seems like Apple is is planning to hold up the market again by it's new SmartPhone Apple iPhone Lite which is the successor of of the previous version of Apple iPhone5. Well according to the sources, refreshed version of Apple iPhone 5 And iPhone Lite will be introduced on the same date, i.e. 18th September on a special event. Apple iPhone Lite will be cheaper than previous smartphone iPhone 5, also having colorful shells, and lower build costs.

The new lineup for Apple will start with the Apple iPhone 4S replacing the Apple iPhone 4 as the lowest cost option. The refreshed iPhone 5 is next followed by the new Apple iPhone 5S or iPhone 6. The plan is for Apple to take on low-priced, attractive handsets made by its rivals. By using what is basically an iPhone 5 for this model, Apple will be keeping the specs high enough to compete, and using plastic in key areas will allow it to keep the unsubsidized price lower. This report sounds like company is following the words of Analysts Niel Mawtson .

World is turning more virtual and less real. Technology is making it possible gradually. Back ago in 90's human can only imagine of super power, artificial intelligence, genetic mutation and etc. But now every single imagination of our fore fathers is turning out to be true.
Scientists at RIKEN-MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics have managed to implant artificial memories in mice.

Susumu Tonegawa and colleagues described that they were able to get mice believe that they had been shocked in one place, when it had really happened in one place,when it had really happened it another.

Scientists told that :
We have created a false memory in mice by optogenetically manipulating memory engram–bearing cells in the hippocampus. Dentate gyrus (DG) or CA1 neurons activated by exposure to a particular context were labeled with channelrhodopsin-2. These neurons were later optically reactivated during fear conditioning in a different context. The DG experimental group showed increased freezing in the original context, in which a foot shock was never delivered. The recall of this false memory was context-specific, activated similar downstream regions engaged during natural fear memory recall, and was also capable of driving an active fear response. Our data demonstrate that it is possible to generate an internally represented and behaviorally expressed fear memory via artificial means.

This phone for sure is going to be the first choice for not only the shutterbugs but also for the smartphones addict. Below is all the specs of this phone that you need to know before seeking out for this handset.

As Nokia has focused more on Camera and resolution feature of the camera, so it lacks little bit in some of technical features but I think it's Ok! Here are some main spec highlights for the Nokia Lumia 1020:
 ■ Display : 4.5-inch, 768x1280 pixels, 334 ppi, AMOLED
 ■ Battery Life : 13.3 hours 3G talk-time, 16 days stand-by
 ■ Hardware : 1.5 GHz-dual core CPU, 2GB RAM,  2GB storage
 ■ Camera : 41 MP, Xenon Flash, F2.2 aperture, BSI sensor, 1080p camcorder

During the second quarter, Samsung's all over globe profit reaches $5.2 billion, while profit made by Apple is $4.6 billion.
Currently "Apple is under high pressure by this mighty fall. Company need to change it's strategy." Strategic Analytics executive director Niel Mawston believes it.

Further he said:
"Apple is now under intense pressure to launch more iPhone models at cheaper price-points or with larger screens to fend off the surging competition and recapture lost profits in the second half of 2013."
