I am going to brief you about basic terms like what is Demat account, What is depository, how to place a buy sell on a terminal. What are different types of orders, what if you want to hold your position or want automatic exit in intraday and what is leverage and margin so you don’t have to ask separately.Well, the first step, talking in India you need a demat account. Now what is that: its an account that holds all the shares that you purchase in electronic or dematerialized form. Basically, a demat account is to your shares what a bank account is to your money. Like the bank account, a demat account holds the certificates of your financial instruments like shares, bonds, government securities, mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs).Now with that definition, let me elaborate you need a demat account only if you are willing to deal in Shares that too taking the delivery or holding the shares for T+1 day. If you want to invest in other than stock market you need a demat. BUT if you are planning only intraday or day trading; you don’t need a demat account. YOU NEED ONLY TRADING ACCOUNT.Role of Demat account:NOW WHAT IS DEPOSITORY & ITS FUNCTIONS:A depository is similar to a bank. It holds shares, which belong to investors, in electronic form. The investor has to open an account with the depository, through a Depository Participant (Broker). The broker is an intermediary between the depository and the investor. In India, there are two depositories, National Securities Depository and Central Depository Services. A number of banks (HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, SBI, and so on) , brokers ( Zerodha, India Infoline, Motilal Oswal and Indiabulls) and institutions function as DPs.How to open a demat account?Choose a broker on parameters: brokerage charges, annual charges and leverage provided. Fill up a form, submit documents like PAN CARD, CANCEL CHEQUE, ID PROOF, INCOME PROOF (BANK STATEMENT OR ITR) AND INVESTMENT OR MARGIN CHEQUE.NOW WHAT IS MARGIN AND LEVERAGE?Margin is your investment amount that you are investing and leverage is the limit you get on it. Lets say you have 10,000/- to invest that is your margin and leverage is limit that broker provides for trading. Like if he gives you 4 times limit that means you can make a trade where you will need a margin of 40,000/-Why? Because broker make commission on turnover more turnover you make in buy and sell more profit he makes.Now once your demat is open now you get a trading terminal. What is trading terminal? Well its an software that enables you to go online access the Exchange and make a trade in it. You can buy and sell via that terminal. If you are not comfortable online trading, ask your broker to provide you offline trading number. One that number you can share your credentials and ask the person to put the trade on your behalf.This depends on broker to broker but I have a Zerodha account I am explaining you the complete process with them.After account opening, two emails are sent:Welcome emailPassword emailWelcome email contains login and password details to Q, our reporting tool. Q contains all historical reports, tax P&L, ledger, fund withdrawal requests, historical holdings/positions table, trade and P&L visualizations (quant reports) to help improve trading performance and more.Password email contains the trading/Kite user ID, and the first time login password. A prompt to change this while logging into Kite for the first time will be made.Kite is Zerodha trading terminal just like Angel Broking has Angel Eye, Kotak Securities have KEAT, ShareKhan has TRADETIGER.Now trading online: You need the order window on Kite hover over the scrip on the watchlist to initiate a Buy/Sell order window. Use shortcut keys B or S; B for Buy and S for Sell.You you have types of trades:CNC (Cash n Carry): For delivery based equity trades.To buy stocks for CNC or for delivery 100% money required. To sell stocks as CNC, stocks need to be available in holdings.MIS (Margin intraday squareoff): For intraday tradesTrade using MIS for additional leverage/margin. All MIS positions auto-squared off 10 to 15 minutes before close of markets or when losses exceed 50% of margin (Auto-square off rule can vary based on market conditions).Upto 10 times intraday leverage for equityUpto 3 times for futuresUpto 3 times for options shortingNo leverage for option buyingNRML (Normal F&O trades): For intraday/overnight F&O trades without additional leverage. Exchange stipulated margins, positions taken as NRML can be held until expiry, provided required margins maintained.Types of Orders:Limit (LMT) order: Place buy or sell order at a predetermined priceMarket (MKT) order: Place an order to be bought or sold at the best available price.Stoploss or trigger orders (SL and SL-M): Stoploss if placing a predetermined loss booking order at a trigger price. Trigger if using this type of order to enter a fresh buy above the current market price or sell below the current market price when the trigger price is hit. SL if limit order to be sent when trigger is hit. SL-M if a market order to be sent when trigger is hit.Advanced order types: Regular orders with time validity: Day orders for orders to be valid till end of day (selected by default). IOC (Immediate or cancel) for orders to be cancelled if not filled completely immediately. Bracket orders: Intraday limit orders (NSE, NSE F&O) with a target and stoploss and an optional trailing SL all placed simultaneously. Target, Stoploss, and Trailing SL all activated only once the original limit order executed. SL automatically cancelled if target is met and target automatically cancelled if SL is hit. Trailing SL which is optional trails the stoploss price or moves the SL price everytime the scrip moves in a favorable direction by the trailing stoploss value mentioned. Cover orders: Intraday market orders (NSE, NSE F&O, Currency, and MCX) with a predetermined stoploss order. Similar to bracket orders, higher leverage due to fixed stoploss and all positions auto-squared off before market close AMO (After market orders): Place orders for the next trading day the previous day itself. AMO orders can be placed only during the following time duration – Equity – 3:45 PM to 8:59 AM Currency – 3:45 PM to 8:59 AM F&O – 3:45 PM to 9:10 AM MCX – Anytime during the day, if placed during the market hours the order will go through the next day.Well you need a stock broker for it there are many of those like: Angel Broking, Share Khan, Ventura, Kotak Securities, ICICI Direct, etc.With them you are required to open a demat/trading account. Account opening process will be guided from them. Once you have an account you will be given a platform a trading terminal with login credentials.Different brokers have different terminal like ANGEL HAS ANGEL SWIFT, SHARE KHAN HAS TRADE TIGER, KOTAK HAS KEAT & so on. With that you can input your share of interest and make a buy or sell or invest with the money in your demat or trading account.Now, what you need to know is the more you trade the more chance you create for loosing money. Moreover not to mention the amount of brokerage you’re going to generate and pay with taxes.We are trading in market to make money for ourselves not to make the broker rich. You need a strategy where you are trading not trading more than 2–3 times a day.With each trade you should target for only 2–3k profit per lot with 20–25k investment each.Best strategy is to save on your brokerage first because your brokerage charges eat up your profit amount and increase loss amount alot. Lets say you make a profit of 2,000/- but your brokerage is 500/- for that trade what you made 1500/- only and if you make a loss of 2000 and brokerage is constant so your Loss is of 2500/-. And people make more loss by themselves than profit.So saving on brokerage is a must as that is a constant expense or loss that cannot be escaped. If you have a good brokerage plan you have win half of the Battle already.Now come trading, well there are 2 types of trading:Intraday or day trade: Intraday trading deals with buying and selling of stocks on the same day, during the trading hours that are stipulated by the exchange. An intra-day trader is a particular type of stock trader. This trader both opens and closes a new position in a stock in the same trading day. Intraday trading is the most popular thing in Indian stock market specially amongst new generations. Just come with small capital and use leverage to trade.Positional or holding: Position trading is the opposite of day trading because the goal is to profit from the move in the primary trend rather than the short-term fluctuations that occur day to day. Its is conventional way of trading you just buy a stock or a counter and you keep it.Talking about day trading or intraday trading is simple. Actually talking about it, it’s better over positional trading because Return on Investment is good (approx 10% of your investment), risk is low if you are going put stoploss. Best part your funds are not getting blocked, not Time consuming. As you don’t have a burden of your position what market will be tomorrow. You don’t need higher investment as you get leverage over margin or limit over investment in demat.So it’s actually good to trade intraday or day trade rather than holding or taking delivery trades.Now the question is how do we do it? Well for it we have 2 working strategy which don’t need much effort. One is technically understanding stocks and trading accordingly. Second is working fundamentally. You can choose whichever you like.Working technically you need to choose stock on the basis of technical parameters like 15 min candlestick of any stock you can choose. I am using Zerodha that and I do have charts available there on script only.To learn technically trading you need to know basics of Candlestick patterns. You can prefer YouTube for learning candlestick patterns.If you trade small even you can earn that much in these follow buy above high and sell below low strategy in these score for 1000/- – 2000/- only and exit. Make sure you are using stoploss and Target.You can trade in equity. In equity you have:Cash Trading or Cash Market: In this buying or selling of securities is done by providing the capital needed to fund the transaction without relying on the use of margin. Cash trading is achieved using a cash account, which is a type of brokerage account that requires the investor to pay for securities within two days from when the purchase is made.Derivative: It is the financial market for derivatives, financial instruments like futures contracts or options, which are derived from shares or cash segment only.Now, let’s say you are tempted to trade in ICICI BANK just go to ICICI and open chart and see 15 min or 10 min candlestick there and if you get any buying signal or selling signal make a trade put a stoploss as per candlestick analysis and Target not higher than 1:1 ratio. That is risk reward ratio should be equal. If you’re looking to take risk of loosing 1000/- you should be making a profit of 1000/-. It can go higher than that but it needs lot of experience. I can make 10,000/- against risk of 500/- in intraday. Visit my blog DAILY CAPITAL MARKET DOSE, Google it and look for TRADING IS AN ART and you will see power of trading.Well you can do fundamental trading also with minimum risk and less calculation. The easiest way of earning small. You need to know about options for it. I have a small trick that can work on options and get you some good return with less investment of time and money. Here I can educate only on working idea not in brief theory because that will be too much information. You need to do a basic research on options before moving ahead.If you make a profit of only 2000/- daily per trade with this trick there are 22 trading sessions in a month on normal basis so with 1 trade per day you have a potential to generate 44000/- per month and this is in 1 single lot. The minimum I talk about now brokerage is not higher with option so for 22 trades I am not going to pay more than 4000/- and if I incurred loss even lets say 7/10 I make profit so its like I will make a loss of 6 trades 12000/- my potential profit after brokerage charges is like 40,000/- if I deduct loss part 28,000/- of profit a month with hardly an investment of 10,000/-.Yes it is possible. Read it how I am going to make it done.I will cover maximum of it so even a new to options trader can also work on it.There are two types of options:Call OptionPut OptionI am not going in deep details of these but just to clarify YOU BUY CALL OPTION WHEN MARKET OR THE STOCK YOU’RE BETTING ON IS IN BULLISH OR BUYING TREND. YOU BUY PUT OPTION IF THE STOCK OR THE MARKET YOU’RE BETTING ON IS IN SELLING TREND/BEARISH TREND.MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU ALWAYS BUY AN OPTION NOT SELL IT. SELLING OPTION IS MORE DETAILED TOPIC TO DISCUSS.Well best strategy to employ if you’re talking about NSE options here is focus on news. Keep in touch with stock market news likeCNBC AWAZZee businessNDTV ProfitShould be watched between 8:30–9:30 a.m. then you get to know the fundamentals of stock which are in buying trend and which are in selling trend.Once you know which stock you’re betting on simply go to nse website and that stock in search bar on the top of it. Once you’re on that stock page simply look for “Option Chain”. Now you will get a list of option contract. It will have both Call option and put option. Here look for the maximum volume option WHOSE PREMIUM AMOUNT IS IN YOUR INVESTMENT BUDGET as higher the volume more safe the trade is.Now let me explain you the complete process. Let’s say you have heard a News about SBIN or State Bank of India. You Came to know how much the stock can go up or at least you know yes it will go up. So now what you do is open NSE India. Website specially the website has to be opened although you can see option price on terminal also but we are selecting option right now. So we’re at NSE website now on the top there is a search bar and on the right drop-down box it says EQUITY. Type in State Bank of India there or SBIN if you know the code.Now we’re on our SBIN page where it has details about SBIN it will appear something like this:Now you can see Get Derivatives Quote| Option Chain click on Option Chain. The you will have this window:Now from here you can see volume in each open contract. We have seen on previous page SBIN cash market price is of 252/- approx and as per example we are talking here its price will go up. So we will look at call option segment on the left of the page. Now this segment is in 2 colors above 250 is in yellow and below it is in white. Reason there are three types of strike price:In the moneyAt the moneyOut the moneyWe’re not discussing about it here again as it will be too lengthy and detailed discussion. So white part will be the OUT THE MONEY for call option. Now lets say you have 6000/- in your demat account. We know market lot of SBIN is 3000 so we have to look for an option that has a value below 2.00. there is an option whose value is 1.7. Look for the nearest option in your budget don’t go too far. WE HAVE OUR COUNTER TO TRADE.NOW OPEN THAT OPTION IN YOUR TERMINAL OR CALL YOUR BROKER AND TELL HIM YOU WANT TO TRADE IN THIS PARTICULAR OPTION. SIMPLY OPEN IT AND SINCE YOU KNOW ITS IN BUYING ALWAYS BUY ABOVE HIGH VALUE. FOR HARDLY 0.50–1.00 WITH SL OR STOPLOSS OF SAME AMOUNT.Here it has a high of 2.5 already before we came on this so what we will do is. Buy SBIN 270 CALL MARCH CONTRACT ABOVE 2.5 that is 2.55 put target or exit position at 3.05 and stop loss of 2.05.You need alot of skills, calculation and knowledge to trade in market in option if you’re going to trade randomly at any price.Things to take care of:Listen news between 8:30 to 9:30Be active or handy with laptop or desktop and mobile phone if you’re offline trader.Put your trade only above high value /low value only depending on tradeNo one is God in this market this trick is not 100% accurate and doesn’t guarantee you profit always and loss is part of market but 7/10 it will give you profit only.Don’t wait or sit for huge target Rome wasn’t built in a day.You can implement Same strategy of working mentioned here on cash market and future also but again just don’t aim too high.Hope it will help you making some money daily making money.Either you can follow the below strategy or you can have a SEBI Registered financial advisor to advise you for it. Financial advisor are the people who advise you making money in return of their fees. If you’re not willing to spend money on paying them the above can help you.Just in case you’re willing to trade in MCX; you can trade in base metal or energy segment for safe trading but not bullions as its going to take alot of investment and knowledge. Bullions are basically Gold & Silver those are High Risk High Return.Now talking about Base metals & Energy, they have:Aluminium, Lead & Zinc: Mega as lot of 5000 that’s you’re going to gain or loose 5000/- per 1 point movement. Its mini marke lot 1000Copper: Mega 1000 lot size its mini market lot is 250Nickel: mega 250 and mini 100Crude oil: mega 100 mini 10Natural gas: only mega contract with lot size 1250.*******Please open an account with Zerodha Broking ******

Apple's iPhone 8 is coming in the fall of 2017.Apple has a major iPhone redesign planned for 2017, with a glass body and edge-to-edge OLED display that includes an integrated Touch ID fingerprint sensor and front-facing camera.

We've got several months to go until the launch of the iPhone 8, but because of Apple's ambitious plans for the device, there are already an abundance of rumors hinting at the impressive features coming in the 2017 iPhone.Apple is rumored to be testing more than 10 prototype iPhone models, so it's not entirely clear what we're going to see, and because there are so many test devices in play, rumors are also conflicting and murky at this time.Rumors suggest it's going to be a radical redesign, with an edge-to-edge display that does away with the top and bottom bezels where features like the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and the front-facing camera are housed. Instead, Touch ID and the camera may be built directly into the display, meaning there will be no Home button. Jony Ive has wanted to introduce an iPhone that looks like a single sheet of glass for several years, and glass is also necessary if Apple wants to introduce wireless charging.With an edge-to-edge design, the iPhone 8 may be similar in size to the 4.7-inch iPhone, but with a display the size of the 5.5-inch iPhone. Rumors suggest it will feature a 5.8-inch display with 5.15 inches of usable area, with the rest dedicated to virtual buttons that will replace the existing Home button.The display itself is said to be flexible plastic OLED rather than an LCD, allowing Apple to introduce a thinner device that consumes less power and offers a better display with higher contrast ratio and more true to life colors. It may also feature edges that are curved on both sides like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but rumors are unclear on this point, and it's looking more like it will have the same slightly curved 2.5D display that's similar to the display used in the iPhone 7.As for the body, rumors suggest Apple is finally going to move away from the aluminum used in the iPhone 5, 5s, 6, 6s, 7, and SE, instead re-adopting a glass body that's similar to the body that was used in the iPhone 4. At least one iPhone model coming in 2017 will use a glass body, according to Apple supplier Catcher Technology, and according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the glass will be built around an aluminum or stainless steel frame.iphoneconceptimageEdge-to-edge iPhone concept image via ConceptsiPhoneLike the iPhone 7, the iPhone 8 is expected to be water resistant, but it may have an improved IP68 water resistance rating. It will continue to be able to hold up to rain, splashes, and brief submersion in water. Instead of a Lightning port, the iPhone 8 could adopt a USB-C port, but rumors disagree on this point.Inside, the iPhone 8 is expected to have a 10-nanometer A11 chip that will be both faster and more efficient, plus rumors suggest it could also include features like wireless charging and biometric additions like iris, facial, or gesture recognition. In higher-end models with a dual-lens camera, both lenses are expected to feature optical image stabilization.The iPhone 8's front-facing camera may include 3D sensing capabilities that use technology by PrimeSense, allowing it to find the location and depth of objects in front of it, perhaps enabling facial and iris recognition.Apple is said to be planning to position the OLED iPhone 8 as a ~5-inch "premium" model that will perhaps be sold alongside standard 4.7 and 5.5-inch iPhone models with traditional LCD screens.All three models may include glass bodies and wireless charging (though rumors disagree on this point), but it is unclear if the two LCD models will feature the same edge-to-edge display rumored for the higher-end device and what differentiating features will be included. Rumors suggest the OLED iPhone is going to be pricy, with multiple rumors referring to it as "premium" and one rumor suggesting it could sell for upwards of $1,000, which is a good deal more expensive than previous iPhones.The iPhone 8 is still under development and will likely launch in the fall of 2017, and in the months ahead of its launch, we'll undoubtedly learn more about the specs of the device.NamingFollowing Apple's standard naming scheme, with a numeric increase during even years to mark external design changes and an "S" increase during odd years to denote internal feature updates only, the 2017 iPhone would be called the "iPhone 7s."Given the major changes Apple plans to introduce to the iPhone in 2017, it seems unlikely the device will receive an "S" name, so there's a good chance Apple may decide to skip directly to the next full number, naming the 2017 iPhone the iPhone 8.2007 - iPhone2008 - iPhone 3G2009 - iPhone 3GS2010 - iPhone 4 (new design)2011 - iPhone 4s2012 - iPhone 5 (new design)2013 - iPhone 5s2014 - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (new design)2015 - iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus2016 - iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus2017 - iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 PlusiPhone 8 is a tentative name for the device -- it has not yet been confirmed by Apple -- but it seems to be the most logical choice for a major update. There's always the possibility Apple will call it something else or make 2017 the year it moves away from a numbered iPhone naming scheme.Work on the 2017 iPhone is said to be taking place in Israel, and one report suggests employees at the facility are calling the device "iPhone 8," but it continues to be unclear as to whether that's the official name Apple will go with.Apple is also rumored to be planning to produce a total of three iPhone models in 2017, further confusing the potential naming scheme. As two these devices could perhaps be similar in style to the existing iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, sold alongside the flagship OLED model, some rumors suggest they could be called the "iPhone 7s" and an "iPhone 7s Plus." In that case, we'd have an iPhone 7s, and iPhone 7s Plus, and an iPhone 8 or some other name like iPhone X or iPhone Pro.Japanese site Mac Otakara believes the iPhone 8 might actually be called the "iPhone Edition," after the higher-end Apple Watch Edition models. Such a name would reportedly reinforce its position as a high end iPhone that's meant to be sold alongside two standard iPhone models.DesignFor the iPhone 8, Apple is rumored to be planning to move away from the aluminum body that it's been using since 2012 in an effort to differentiate the iPhone from the devices that have come before it. Apple is expected to instead re-adopt the glass-backed body last used for the iPhone 4s. Glass is more fragile and heavier than aluminum, but many advances have been made in glass technology and materials like Gorilla Glass are sturdier than ever, which may help prevent breakage.Multiple rumors have suggested there will be three versions of the iPhone: a "premium" OLED model and two standard LCD devices, with sizes that may include 4.7, 5.8 inches (OLED), and 5.5 inches. While one model (the high-end OLED device) will feature a glass body, rumors disagree on what the other two models will be made from.According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has shared several accurate rumors about Apple's design plans in the past, all three iPhones will feature the same glass-bodied design, with glass instead of aluminum used for the body of the device. Kuo also believes a stainless steel frame will be used in the higher-end iPhone, while less expensive models may get an aluminum frame, but he believes all three models will use glass.DigiTimes, citing sources within the Taiwanese supply chain, has also predicted Apple will adopt a glass body with a stainless steel frame for improved sturdiness in the iPhone 8. The iPhone 4 and 4s, made with a glass back, also used a stainless steel frame.white-iphone-4The iPhone 4, introduced in 2010Japanese site Nikkei also believes Apple will use glass for all three of the iPhones that are in development, but other sources have suggested only one -- the OLED model -- will have a glass body, while others continue to use an aluminum body.The CEO of Apple supplier Catcher Technology, Allen Horng, has said "only one model" will adopt a glass casing in 2017, suggesting other non-glass iPhones are in the works. Japanese site Mac Otakara has suggested Apple will sell a 4.7 and 5.5-inch aluminum "iPhone 7s" and "iPhone 7 Plus" with a design that's largely unchanged from the iPhone 7 with the exception of a new red color option, and DigiTimes predicts a 4.7-inch "iPhone 7s" with an aluminum body to be sold alongside a 5.8-inch OLED iPhone with a glass body and a 5.5-inch model of an unspecified material.There are two possible outcomes based on the rumors we're hearing: Either we get three iPhones with glass bodies and wireless charging, with extra features to set the OLED model apart from the standard models, or we get a single OLED model with a glass body sold alongside two standard aluminum devices.Size wise, while the OLED iPhone will use a larger display panel because it includes no bezels, it may be similar in size to the 4.7-inch iPhone. Apple is also said to be planning to sell a standard 4.7-inch iPhone and a larger 5.5-inch iPhone.Korean site ETNews believes the OLED iPhone 8 could potentially use a design that pays homage to the original iPhone, with deep rear curves and a "water drop" shape.It's said to feature a curved glass body that is both gentler and rounder than the design of the existing iPhone 7, similar to the first iPhones that were made. This rumor has not yet been confirmed by a secondary source.WATER RESISTANCEThe iPhone 8 may feature an IP68 water resistance rating, an improvement over the IP67 certification earned by the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus. Like the Galaxy S7, which is also IP68 certified, the iPhone 8 might be able to withstand 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes while also offering full dust protection.That means it will continue to hold up to splashes and brief immersion in water, but customers should still make an effort to avoid water as Apple's iPhone 7 warranty does not cover water damage and it's likely the iPhone 8 warranty will also exclude water damage.MOCKUPS AND CONCEPTSt's too early for iPhone 8 part leaks, but many designers have made mockups and concepts imagining what the iPhone 8 might look like based on current rumors.While many of the concepts include fanciful ideas that Apple is unlikely to introduce in an iPhone 8, the images and videos give us an idea of what an edge-to-edge display with an integrated Home button might look like.We've included a few of the best concepts here in the roundup, but make sure to check out our dedicated posts for a more comprehensive look at what designers are dreaming up: Part 1 and Part 2.DisplayAt least one iPhone 8 model is expected to include a flexible OLED display and Apple has already signed a deal with Samsung to produce OLED displays for devices set to debut in 2017.Samsung will provide Apple with an estimated 160 million OLED panels to be used for the rumored ~5-inch OLED iPhone. That will account for approximately 80 percent of all the panels used for the device, and while other companies like AU Optronics, Sharp, Japan Display are working on OLED displays, they won't be ready for production until 2018, meaning Apple will need to rely heavily on Samsung in 2017.An OLED display eliminates the need for the backlighting that's used in traditional LCDs, which would allow Apple to cut down on the thickness and weight of the display used in the device. OLED displays can also be flexible, but it sounds like Apple is planning to use a flat 2.5D display in the iPhone 8.OLED displays offer better contrast ratio, truer colors, improved viewing angles, better power efficiency to maximize battery life, and a faster response time than an LCD for faster refresh rates. On the downside, OLED displays don't have the lifespan of an LCD display and they're more prone to water damage, two issues Apple will need to overcome. Apple already uses OLED displays in the Apple Watch.applewatch1The Apple Watch has an AMOLED displayThere are multiple rumors about the size and type of the panels Apple will be using, and rumors indicate Apple is testing more than 10 iPhone prototypes. While we've heard several rumors pointing towards different display sizes, information seems to be solidifying around a screen size of 5.8 inches, with a smaller active display area.In addition to conflicting information on the display size of the iPhone, there's also mixed information available on the design of the display. On the whole, it's sounding like the display will perhaps be somewhat curved (similar to the existing iPhone 7) and edge-to-edge with no bezel, but rumors have been all over the place. We'll need to wait for additional information to get a clear picture of what to expect from the device, but some possibilities are listed below.Multiple rumors suggest Apple will implement an edge-to-edge display, which means the iPhone will have no top, bottom, or side bezels, with the display taking up the entire front of the device. It will look like a single piece of glass.Sensors like Touch ID and the front-facing camera will be embedded in the display, invisible to the naked eye, and there will be no iconic Home button on the device. Apple has been working on developing touch and display driver (TDDI) chips since 2015, so it's definitely possible that the iPhone 8 will have no Home button, and Apple has also patented a method for embedding Touch ID and an ambient light sensor in the display.According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the OLED iPhone 8 will feature a 5.8-inch display, but with no bezels, that 5.8-inch display will fit a device that's similar in size to the 4.7-inch iPhone 7. Kuo believes the iPhone 8 will have 5.15 inches of active screen space, with the additional space taken up by virtual buttons that replace the current physical Home button and other features, a prediction echoed by The Wall Street Journal. Kuo lays out his size predictions in the diagram below:Based on Kuo's description, the iPhone 8 can be thought of as having a screen the size of the 5.5-inch iPhone in a form factor that's the size of the 4.7-inch iPhone. Imagining an iPhone 7 Plus that features just a display and no bezels is a good way of conceptualizing what the iPhone 8 might look like.With the edge-to-edge display, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple will continue to use a 2.5D display, like the display in the iPhone 7. Japanese site Nikkei has echoed Kuo's prediction and also expects Apple to use a 5.8-inch display.Kuo does not believe we will see a radically curved display, but other rumors have predicted dramatic curves that cover the sides of the device. A rumor from The Wall Street Journal, a respectable publication that's often accurate, suggests a curved display but doesn't go into detail on what that means design wise. In the past, the 2.5D display of the iPhone 6 and 7 has been described as "curved," so it is sometimes difficult to decipher just what a curved display means when it pops up in rumors.Nikkei Asian Review, for example, says the iPhone 8 will feature a curved OLED display, but with a gentler curvature than the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Technically, that sounds similar to what other sources have described -- a curve like the slight curve of the existing iPhone 7.The site does, however, say that Apple "would not be using OLED optimally" if it implemented a display like existing models, but Nikkei appears to expect a display that is slightly curved beneath the edges of the 2.5D cover glass, a curve not nearly as significant as the curve on the Galaxy S7. Nikkei, like Kuo, expects the curved screen to allow for a viewable area of 5.2 inches.Taken all together, it sounds like a lot of the display rumors are saying the same thing, though it can sound quite different due to the confusion over and the different interpretation of the word curve. Based on what we're hearing, we expect an OLED iPhone 8 with a display that's just slightly curved downwards at the edges but mostly flat.As previously mentioned, Apple is rumored to be planning on debuting three devices, one premium model with an OLED display and two standard models that use traditional LCD panels. While there is confusion over the size and curvature of the OLED panel, the LCD iPhones are expected to be 4.7 and 5.5 inches, the same size (and design) as the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.All three of the iPhone models set to be released in 2017 could include True Tone displays, according to Barclays analysts. A "full spectral sensing" ambient light sensor will enable "True Tone" colors that will adjust the display to the light in its surrounding environment. The current-generation iPad Pro was the first device to include a True Tone display, an example of which is below.In a room with fluorescent lights, for example, the iPhone's display might appear more blue, while in a room with warmer incandescent lights, the display would appear slightly more yellow.A USB-C Port Instead of a Lightning Port?According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple will replace the Lightning connector in the iPhone with a USB-C port, bringing it in line with the MacBook and the MacBook Pro.That's not a rumor we've heard previously, but The Wall Street Journal is a reputable source that often accurately predicts Apple's plans. Unfortunately, a second well-known source, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, says The Wall Street Journal's report is inaccurate and that all three upcoming iPhone 8 models will continue to include Lightning ports.Given that The Wall Street Journal provided so little information on the replacement of the Lightning port with USB-C (it's just one line in a wider story on a curved OLED display), and the fact that its removal sounds a bit far-fetched, Kuo's information is more believable at this point in time.While a Lightning port is expected, Kuo believes Apple could implement USB Type-C Power Delivery technology (while still using the Lightning port) to offer a fast charging feature that would allow the iPhone to charge more quickly. Fast charging is already a feature available in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro using a Lightning to USB-C cable.Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis agrees with Kuo and believes Apple will stick to Lightning. He thinks Apple may introduce a Lightning to USB-C adapter in European countries, though, to adhere to a the European Commission's "one mobile phone charger for all" campaign.ProcessorAll iPhone models coming in 2017 are expected to use Apple's A11 chip, including the OLED iPhone 8 and the more modest 4.7 and 5.5-inch iPhones (which could be called the iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s Plus).Volume production on the A11 chip, built on a 10-nanometer FinFET manufacturing process by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), is expected to begin in April, with an aim of hitting a production capacity of 50 million units by July. The A11 chip is expected to be both faster and more power efficient than the current A10, manufactured on a 16-nanometer process. It could introduce speedier performance and better battery life.Wireless ChargingEarly iPhone 8 rumors suggested Apple was working on long-range wireless charging technology that could be implemented as soon as 2017, but more recent information and speculation suggests that instead of long-range wireless charging techniques, Apple will instead use an inductive-style wireless charging solution (similar to the Apple Watch) for the device.Apple in February joined the Wireless Power Consortium, which is committed to the open development of the Qi wireless charging standard that's widely used in devices like the Samsung Galaxy line, and Apple has filed dozens of patents for inductive charging. Dozens of hires with expertise in wireless charging have also joined the company in recent months.Apple is rumored to have at least five different groups in its company working on implementing wireless charging technology in the next iPhone.The company's plan to use a glass body hints that inductive charging will be used, as glass would be required to allow charging through a magnetic coil. With an aluminum body, inductive charging would not work as well.There's also evidence that Apple is seeking components that point towards an inductive charging solution. Lite-On Semiconductor is rumored to be providing integrated chip components for the wireless charging module in the iPhone 8. The manufacturer will reportedly supply bridge rectifiers needed to reduce thermal issues and maintain efficiency in wireless power transmission, and Apple is also perhaps sourcing components from MediaTek, Foxconn, Pegatron, and Luxshare. Foxconn and Pegatron are said to be manufacturing the charging bases that will be used with the iPhone.In addition to confusion over the charging method Apple will use, there are also questions about how it will be implemented. It's been assumed that it will be built into the iPhone, but we've heard a few rumors that suggest the wireless charging capabilities will be enabled through a separate accessory that needs to be purchased separately.Most recently, Japanese site Mac Otakara said Apple would use a wireless charging accessory designed using technology sourced from Luxshare, a company that has reportedly provided components for the Apple Watch in the past.According to JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur, Apple and Broadcom are working together on a customized wireless charging system, but it is not clear if the feature will be included in the 2017 iPhone or a later device.It's possible Apple considered long-range wireless charging techniques but has not yet been able to perfect the solution, which would explain the mixed rumors.Long-range wireless charging technology offers the benefit of not requiring a charging source, but there are obstacles to overcome such as the loss of power transfer efficiency that occurs when the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is increased. This causes batteries further away from a charging source to charge more slowly.There was speculation suggesting Apple is working with a partner, possibly Energous, a company that's developed a long-range wireless charging solution called WattUp, but there's been no hard evidence. Energous CEO Steve Rizzone has encouraged such rumors claiming the company has inked a deal with "one of the largest consumer electronic companies in the world," but it continues to be unclear if that partner is Apple.Regardless of the wireless charging method used, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that all new iPhones are likely to support wireless charging next year, including the 4.7-inch model, the larger 5.5-inch model, and the high-end OLED model, as does Susquehanna analyst Christopher Rolland. Japanese site Mac Otakara disagrees, however, and says wireless charging will only be available in the higher-end OLED iPhone.Other FeaturesBIOMETRICSAccording to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who often accurately predicts Apple's plans, the iPhone 8 could include more advanced biometric features such as facial recognition or iris scanning, perhaps powered by a new front-facing camera system. Kuo has not elaborated on what additional biometric features would be used for, but presumably these would be alternate methods for accessing the iPhone or adding additional layers of protection.Kuo also believes Apple will introduce new Touch ID technology for the iPhone 8, which will be built under the glass of the display and will "enhance transactions security." He predicts Apple will switch from a capacitive Touch ID system to an optical system, and according to Taiwanese site DigiTimes, Apple will introduce new fingerprint recognition technology developed in-house.Citing unnamed "industry sources," DigiTimes also claims the iPhone 8 will include iris scanning technology, allowing users to unlock their devices with an eye scan. DigiTimes originally said the iris scanning function would not be ready until 2018, but later updated that prediction to 2017. The site does not have the most solid track record when it comes to Apple rumors, so it remains unclear if iris scanning is something we can expect this year. DigiTimes has also stated that other technologies like ultrasound for facial recognition are a possibility.Apple is rumored to be sourcing iris scanning chips from Taiwan-based supplier Xintec, with Xintec planning to begin mass production on the component in 2017.According to Fast Company, Apple is working with Lumentum to develop 3D sensing technology that will be included in the iPhone 8, but it is not clear how the feature will be used. It could be used for facial recognition, augmented reality, or camera improvements.Cowen and Company analyst Timothy Arcuri believes the iPhone 8 could include facial and gesture recognition capabilities, which could be powered by a laser and infrared sensor located near the front-facing camera.JPMorgan analyst Rod Hall believes Apple will eliminate Touch Id in the iPhone 8, replacing it with a 3D facial recognition feature that uses a front-facing 3D laser scanner.Hall's reasoning is that there will be no Touch ID fingerprint sensor because there won't be a Home button, but Apple has patented techniques for building optical fingerprint scanning into the display. Facial recognition has benefits that include being able to unlock the iPhone even with wet hands. In the future, Hall speculates that the alleged 3D laser scanner could potentially be used for other purposes like augmented reality, but he does not believe this will happen until at least 2018.STORAGEThe iPhone 8 is expected to include NAND flash memory from Samsung, but it is not clear what improvements it might bring. With the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, Apple introduced a 256GB storage option, and it's possible additional increases could be included in the iPhone 8.One rumor has suggested the iPhone 8 will include increased storage space, which could make the device more expensive than previous-generation iPhone models, and another rumor says it will be available in 64 and 256GB capacities.RAMLike the iPhone 7 Plus, the iPhone 8 is rumored to include 3GB RAM.TAPTIC ENGINEAn enhanced Taptic engine is one of the features that could be included in the 2017 iPhone, according to a report from Japanese site Nikkei. Apple is said to be working on a "high-performance motor" that's able to "create more complex tactile vibrations."Such an engine would perhaps be necessary if Apple is indeed eliminating the Home button in the iPhone 8, as has been rumored. Haptic feedback could offer vibrations to denote triggers like the unlocking of the iPhone and the confirmation of a Touch ID payment, two features currently tied to the physical iPhone Home button.3D TOUCHWith Apple implementing glass bodies for the iPhone and introducing at least one OLED display, new 3D Touch technology may be required. According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will need to use a new 3D Touch module with "additional graphite sheet lamination" for heat reduction.BATTERY LIFEWe've heard few rumors on the prospective battery life of the iPhone 8, but one rumor from Fast Company says the device will include a "far bigger battery," which could result in improved battery life. A larger battery could also be implemented to power features like an OLED display or new biometric features that are rumored, though, so longer battery life is not a guarantee.Apple is said to be planning to use a stacked logic board design that will support longer battery life. With the improved logic board, the iPhone 8 will be able to offer the same battery life traditionally available in the 5.5-inch iPhone in a device the size of the 4.7-inch iPhone. An L-shaped two-cell battery pack with a capacity around 2,700 mAh could be included.Battery life could be further improved through the use of a more energy efficient OLED panel.REAR CAMERASKGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the dual-lens camera introduced in the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus will continue to be a feature exclusive to "high-end" iPhone models in 2017.Kuo predicts a 4.7-inch iPhone with a single camera, a 5.5-inch model with a dual-lens camera, and an OLED model in an unspecified size with a dual-lens camera.He believes that future models will include optical image stabilization (OIS) for both the wide-angle and telephoto lenses. In the iPhone 7 Plus, only the wide-angle lens features OIS. The camera in the 2017 iPhone could also support 3D photography effects if Apple opts to use an LG camera module.According to Japanese site Mac Otakara, the high-end 5-inch iPhone Apple plans on introducing could adopt a new vertical dual camera arrangement instead of a horizontal dual camera system. Mac Otakara's information is sourced from a Taiwanese supplier and has not yet been corroborated by a second source.It's not clear why Apple would switch from a horizontal arrangement to a vertical arrangement, but the need to fit two cameras into a smaller body could be a factor.FRONT-FACING CAMERAThe front-facing camera of the iPhone 8 will be a "revolutionary" system consisting of three modules that enable 3D sensing capabilities powered by PrimeSense technology.The camera will include an infrared transmitting module, an infrared receiving module, and a traditional camera. With the infrared additions, the camera will be able to find the location and depth of objects placed in front of it, technology that could be used for facial and iris recognition or for future AR capabilities.SIRIThe iPhone 8 may feature enhanced Siri functionality according to a rumor from DigiTimes. It's not clear what an enhanced version of Siri would be able to do, but it could include an overall refinement to the personal assistant's ability to respond to contextual requests and other dialogue.Apple is said to be taking advantage of technology it acquired when it purchased AI startup Turi in August of 2016. It's not clear if improved Siri capabilities will be introduced in iOS 11 and available for multiple devices or tied specifically to the iPhone 8Release DateFor the last several years, Apple has released its iPhone updates in September, so we expect to see the the new lineup unveiled in September of 2017.According to information shared by Barclays analysts, the 5.8-inch OLED iPhone may be in short supply when it launches in September, but the analysts believe a release will happen during the standard September time frame. Full stock may not be available until later in the fourth quarter, however.Apple is said to have placed an order for 70 million OLED panels from Samsung, anticipating high demand. Samsung is preparing to be able to produce up to 95 million panels in 2017.Japanese site Mac Otakara believes the iPhone 8 may not go on sale until later in the year, perhaps launching "very much" behind due to the switch to an OLED display and the new technology needed. In that scenario, we'd see the launch of an iPhone 7s and 7s Plus in September as scheduled, with the higher-end iPhone 8 coming later in the year.Apple suppliers are already gearing up to start producing components for the iPhone 8. Foxconn is developing both glass casings and OLED displays in an effort to secure orders from apple.Beyond the iPhone 8In future iPhones, coming in 2018 and beyond, Apple could adopt foldable displays produced by LG. LG is planning to start mass-producing foldable displays for smartphones in 2018 and Apple is rumored to be a partner.lg-folding-displayApple is also rumored to be mulling a partnership with Japan Display. Japan Display is developing flexible LCD panels that will be ready in 2018 and could be used in future iPhone models.In the future, Apple is said to be aiming to make all of its iPhones with OLED displays, not just a single high-end model. An all-OLED lineup could happen by 2019.In 2018, Apple may add iris scanning capabilities to the iPhone, which could be used alongside of or in place of Touch ID. Like a fingerprint, each person's iris is unique and so iris scanning can be used for identification purposes.Iris scanning is also a feature that has been rumored for the 2017 iPhone, so it's not clear when the iPhone could potentially gain these capabilities, if ever. Iris scanning rumors have come from two sources, but with the 2017 and 2018 iPhones still far off, Apple's plans could change.IPHONE 8 (2017) TIMELINEAPR2017Apr 5New Report Suggests Apple Could Delay 'iPhone 8' Launch to October or NovemberApr 4iPhone 8 Predicted to Start at $850 to $900 for 64GB Model, $950 to $1,000 for 256GB ModelRoundup Last UpdatedApr 3Apple Places Order for 70 Million OLED iPhone Panels From SamsungApr 1Facial Recognition Feature on Galaxy S8 Bypassed Using Just a PhotoMAR2017Mar 31All Three 2017 iPhones Said to Feature True Tone DisplaysMar 29Samsung Unveils Galaxy S8 and S8+ With Iris and Facial Recognition, No Home ButtonMar 27Analyst Suggests Third-Generation Apple Watch Will Include Cellular ConnectivityMar 27TSMC to Begin Production of 'iPhone 8' and 'iPhone 7s' A11 Chip in AprilMar 23'iPhone 8' Still Expected to Launch in September in Limited QuantitiesMar 20Apple's iPhone 8 Said to Feature 'Water Drop Design' in Homage to Original iPhoneMar 20Galaxy S8 Retail Price to Significantly Undercut Premium 'iPhone 8'Mar 165.8-Inch iPhone Affirmed to Have Mostly Flat Display With Slightly Curved EdgesMar 155.8-Inch iPhone Said to Have Curved Display, But Not as Curved as Galaxy S7 EdgeMar 14iPhone 8 Concepts and Mockups - Part 2Mar 105.8-Inch iPhone Expected to Have Flat Display Despite 'Curved' RumorsMar 10Galaxy S8 to Gain Facial Recognition Feature Over Doubts About Iris Scanning TechnologyMar 8'iPhone 8' Could Reportedly Be Called 'iPhone Edition,' Ship Well After 4.7-Inch and 5.5-Inch VersionsMar 7Apple Face Detection Patent Hints at Possible PrimeSense Tech Headed For 'iPhone 8'Mar 7Apple's Stock Price Projected to Keep Rising on 'iPhone 8' OptimismMar 6Apple Aims to Make Every iPhone With an OLED Display by 2019Use mobile themeOn or OffCopyright © 2000-2017 Mac Rumors: Apple Mac iOS Rumors and News You Care About, LLC.Privacy/DMCA contact

First of all, speaking about deliverability we must understand clearly that for mailing it’s impossible to guarantee that message will be delivered. But what about guarantees given by some companies - 99.9% and so on? We just cannot believe it. Sender may know that email is not delivered only when emailing service sent a report, but sometimes it happens that ESP simply mark your message as spam, or just "lose" deciding that you can survive without it and "don’t say nothing” about.If you want your email to be accepted by emailing services you have to "equip" it. Let’s check the main parameters affecting emails delivery.Mailing reputation is not much different from a person's reputation. It is not built up immediately - one needs to earn it. If someone has a bad reputation (roughneck and drunkard) then he unlikely will be invited to a party or wedding (of course if a row and a fight were not pre-ordered). The same goes to emails: messages with poor reputation are being marked as spam or just lost at all.The reputation is influenced by many metrics, such as:Relevance and design. Make sure that your email looks great and it’s content is really interesting and relevant for your subscribers. How to measure it? It’s simple: indicators here are how often are your emails being read, clicks-through rate, what html layoutyou use, is there plain text or html, "Unsubscribe" link, the ratio of text and pictures(postcard emails are not trusted by emailing services because they cannot be read to check). Be sure that your text is accompanied by images.Volume and regularity of your emailing. This is especially important for huge amounts. Imagine that you did not send anything before, ...and suddenly 100,000 messages a week. How did you gained so many subscribers at once? Collected them for 10 years? But in reality your subscribers would forget you long ago... Increase the mailings volume gradually and keep it constant. It will add scores to your reputation.Spam complaint rate. If your messages are being marked as spam you have a real chance to be blacklisted. Check the complaints as much as possible (if ESP provides such information). If spam markings rate is higher than 0.5% - it’s a reason to think about: something is wrong. Remove the abused contacts from your mailing database.Mailtraps. There is a type of mailboxes registered only to form the black lists. They are being created and placed somewhere on blogs without connection to any important information, and not used anywhere else. When messages are delivered to such boxes it means that contacts were gained via specific malware picking addresses from Internet. It’s really stupid to do it… as well as to add mailtraps to your contacts database. If you don’t want to be framed by ill-wishers, always use double-opt in when registering.Relevance of your database. How many dead addresses are still in your database? When you see the high rate on typical server errors like "mailbox does not exist" during mass emailing, think how could it happen? Haven’t you experienced the mailing before, or maybe just didn’t check the sending status and error reports? That’s no good! Emailing services may think the same way and make your reputation worse.Blacklists. Are you blacklisted? Then what a reputation can we talk about? Keep an eye open for main blacklists, and if you suddenly find yourself there - immediately contact those who sent you there and "get whited".Headers are very important too: set correctly the values ​​for precedence, list-unsubscribe, etc. But this subject deserves a special article.Infrastructure for bulk mailings requires high level of admins competence and their constant attention. This task is completely different from the regular corporate emailing server support. Incorrect providing and configuring of infrastructure may cause negative effects. Pay special attention to the following points:Static IP addresses. Imagine that you use the current IP not alone. So, when your neighbor sends spam - it does not matter anymore how "clean" are you, as you share the same one reputation for two or even three users. Be careful. It is better to have multiple IP addresses and balance their traffic load.Security. If your server is hacked by attackers - all the work of many years may be lost in one moment. This aspect is usually being realized and estimated only when cyberattack is already happened."Requests" of emailing services to resend email to prove that you are not a spammer or bot. Sometimes it happens. Spammers usually do not mess with such a difficulties and not respond, but you have to repeat sending, otherwise you will be marked as spammer.Is your mailbox configured for feedback (delivery of complaints and other reports).Your domain should be allowed to receive messages. If not, some emailing services may block your emails. Make sure that MX records for your domain are added to DNS entries. Well, here we begin with hi-tech terms, further it will be more. Just ask your admins, they have to know.Authentication in emailings is a set of techniques designed to protect the world from scammers and spammers. Essentially, this is email’s electronic passport verifying the sender identity; it includes 3 methods of authentication, and it would be perfect to use them all in your mailings:Sender Policy Framework (SPF) allows emailing service to compare the address that sends emailing and the sender server. If sender domain is disabled to send on behalf of specified domain, the message will be marked as spam immediately. If SPF records are configured well, attackers will be not allowed to do mailing on behalf of your domain. Actuallly, the mailing can be done but emails shall not be delivered and sending server will be blacklisted. This is what emailing service will do with your mailing if SPF records for your domain are added to DNS entries incorrectly.Sender ID is an authentication method that slightly completes the SPF records and enable tracking of forwarded messages too (i.e. emails with multiple senders). If you have SPF already added to entries than Sender ID is optional although Microsoft recommends to use it. It is better to apply both methods to get out of harm’s way.Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) reached even further, it checks not only the sender server at the domain level but also the identity of sender account. For this purpose, a special digital signature verifying the sender is being added to email. This signature is automatically checked on recipient's line and then compared to actual blacklists. This way, DKIM requires the signature added to each sent email while for both methods above it is enough just to configure DNS entries.Spammers are never sleep, they always try to bypass the spam protection so new protocols and standards are constantly appearing, for example DMARC combining SPF with DKIM and reporting domain owner about every attempt to make a mailing on his behalf or configuration error.If you have no idea how your emails authentication is configured right now, you can use Mail-Tester service, it’s simple and free.Keep abreast. We have already mentioned that every rate should be checked in 24/7 mode. Monitor the reputation of your servers (for example, using the SenderScore from Return Path)It is crucial: server errors should be never ignored. There are two types of ESP errors: hard and soft bounce.hard - mailbox does not exist,soft - temporarily unavailable (for example, it is full or temporarily blocked).If suddenly your message "bounced hard", remove the contact from your database immediately.It is better to clean your database regularly removing the dead contacts. They are not just useless (being not read anyway) but also make your reputation much worse.One more point is very important: to prevent your emails from marking as spam, just don’t send spam. We remind once again that spam means emails not interesting for your subscribers.The easiest way to ensure high delivery rate is to build mailings via special service where specialists closely watch the following of every rule and standard.How we reached high delivery rate with eSpunik — you can read about it on a special pageSome helpful links:SPF: http://www.openspf.orgSenderID: http://www.microsoft.com/senderidDKIM: http://www.dkim.org/Sendgrid deliverability guide: http://go.sendgrid.com/rs/sendgrid/images/SendGrid_Deliverability_Guide.pdfReturn Path blog: http://blog.returnpath.com/blog/chad-elmendorf/dmarc-what-it-is
