IOS 8 for iPhone 4s

Apple has released a new operating system IOS 8, it has new features which are great. But the question remains is it supported by phones of older generations. Well Apple has claimed that ios 8 will be supported by iPhone 6, 6+, 5, 5s and 4s. So is the new operating system up to the mark for the older phones like iPhone 4s. The answer to that question is no, as I have an iPhone 4s and when I upgraded it to ios 8. I got lots of problem after upgrading and the list is as follows.

First and most important the phone got slow, it is so slow that you can actually feel it while making calls or playing any simple game. To start and end a call it will take lots of time and I can’t even cancel the phone if I accidently call someone. Second severe problem with ios 8 is that 3g will not work, eventually they solve the problem in the later updates, but still sometimes 3g won’t work.

Most of the apps that has been designed for bigger screens of iPhone 6 and 6 plus will feel kind of improper in small sets like iPhone 4s. So what I recommend is that if you have an iPhone and thinking about upgrading then forget it. You shouldn’t upgrade your phone from ios 7 as it is far better in terms of performance. 

Communication Technology in Nepal

Nepal is a third world country which is still underdeveloped in terms of infrastructure and poverty. Country is still recovering from a long civil war and the infrastructure development is very slow. The infrastructure in the main cities is also not up to the international standard.  Well that leads us to a big question where does it stand in terms of communication technology?

Surprisingly the answer is great, the country has lots of option in terms of communication technology. Being a relatively small country with around 26 million population, the penetration for mobile telephony is around 90 %. There are six nationwide operators working all across the country. Nepal Telecom and Ncell are the biggest operators of the country with almost 90% share of the market.

The operators are using the latest technology that are available in the world market. Currently Nepal have WiMAX, HSPA +, Edge, EVDO, GPRS etc which are also used by most of the major developed countries. The operators are also planning to roll out LTE in the year 2015.

The terrain of the country is very much diverse, Nepal has Plain lands, hills and mountains scattered all across the country. Deploying communication in the mountainous regions is very much difficult. But the operators especially Nepal Telecom (Government Organization) is able to deploy communication technology in these regions.

Hence what we can say that being an underdeveloped country like Nepal in terms of infrastructure development. It stand outs in the field of communication technology with major developed countries.
