This is not the first external battery case for iPhones; there are many some are made by good brand also sold in Apple Store, but some are so less quality, and they might harm your phone, that is why most of the users were worried that batteries might harm their beloved iPhones.

Tag Heuer Smartwatch doing better than expected

Tag Heuer SmartWatch launched not long time ago with the price tag $1,500. Many of us thought the watch’s price is so high for a smartwatch, and the sales will be not so good. Even the company itself might feel the same way because they ordered the manufacturer instead of 1,200 units per week; they need to make 2,000 units.

– 

Tag Heuer Connected powered by an Intel processors and comes with Google’s Android Wear OS, smart watch come with a display resolution of 360 x 360, 1,6GHz Intel Atom, 1GB of RAM, and 4GB storage in it. The watch has 410 mAh battery that is good for 25 hours of usage and an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance. And The company decided to suspend the online sales of the smartwatch and give the sales priority to the physical retail stores.
Tag Heuer Smartwatch doing better than expected.
Well, what the Tag Heuer did that their Smartwatch gets more popular than others. First of all 2,000 unit for the week is nothing if you compare with Apple Watch production numbers but anyway Tag Heuer didn’t want to sell this much amount of the watch. First of all Tag Heuer is watch company that makes excellent watches and it very popular among the young generation who uses the today’s technologies very often. The watch faces that Tag Heuer Connected uses are very attractive designs, and their price average is around $5,000 and more. I have a Tag Heuer myself and happy with it. Now this young generation can able to buy a Tag Heuer for a low price if you compare with traditional models of the brand, and they can able to change the watch face as they like. If you think that is a quite bit luxury for a $1,500 Tag Heuer watch. And at the some they can also be connected the technology that they love to use.

A startup from Belgium has designed a new drone that can be the safest drone in the future drone market. This new Kickstarter has a unique design that cover its propellers.

If you are interested with drones, probably saw the videos that drones hurt people, in some cases almost take their eyes out. This giant marshmallow looking like drone has an HD camera on it which can record 1080p 30fps videos, and 5 megapixels photos. The drone can stay on the air for 10 minutes, and max speed is 10mph. Fleye can control with An iPhone or an Android device. The team is planing to ship the drones in September 2016 if it reaches the target that €175,000 ( $190,000 ).

The New Safest Drone Project
We like this drone because of its protective design, not because it can protect the propellers during crashes because it can prevent any injuries could happen during the flight. Flying time is a little bit short, but the company might improve this in future if they founded well. After this drones Halloween can be much more fun for some people, I am pretty sure we can see some flying ghost around thanks to this flying marshmallows looking drone.

Can Porsche Mission E be a Tesla killer?

Mission-E considered to be a Tesla killer. Well with its looks it can kill many supercar on the market that is for sure. The car expected to have more than 600 horsepower ( or in a new scale of electric vehicles for power, it will have 440 kilowatts of system power ) many hopes Mission E will also have an ” insane mode ” like Model S. Estimated range will be 310-mile per charge. The model will be the Porches’s first all-electric car on the market, I hope it won’t be the last. Porsche says in the next several years, the company will invest more than $760 million to its Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen facility that will produce the all-electric vehicles. They expanded the existing engine factory to produce electric engines, also will build a new paint shop and assembly plant.
.

One of the best features of the car is not how cool and sexy it looks. It is the battery charging speed; the battery can reach an 80% percent charge in 15 minutes, it is twice fast as Tesla’s supercharger ( 30 minutes also not bad though). Porsche says the car can be charged that fast because of it has doubled the typical 400 volts of energy output used by Tesla. Also, I want to add; you can not charge your Porsche nor Tesla this fast with your regular electric output at your home, it will take much more time. These numbers are for the particular station for fast charging that had higher electrical outputs. Mission-E will use lithium-battery like Model S, which is mounted underbody between the front and rear axles. The car will have a low center of gravity that gives better driving experience. Mission-E is supposed to accelerate from 0 to 100 km per hour ( 0 to 60 mile ) in less than 3,5 seconds.
.
So Mission E can be a Tesla Killer?. Well, I don’t think so. Porsche is a luxury car maker, but Elon Musk want to sell cars to almost anyone, that is why Tesla just invested 5 billion to a new battery factory, and made agreements about buying raw materials for the future mass production. Tesla Model 3’s price planning to be $35,000 and this is an affordable price for US market. The new factory will also lower the cost of Model S, which is Mission E’s enemy at this point, and Model X will come before 2020. Of course, Porsche will sell a good amount of cars for sure but will never able to catch Tesla sales numbers.
.
Also, there are some massive problems that Volkswagen Group has right now because of its diesel engines. VW need to much money to secure its depths because of future recalling, and Porsche is a part of this group. For now Porsche is not affected by the diesel engine scandal but never known what will future shows us. Before going after Tesla, Porsche should solve its problems. We will see Mission E will be a Tesla killer on the roads but not on the all-electric car market for sure.
