Everything You Need to Know About iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

After Loads of leaks and never-ending reams of assumption which proved mostly to be truthful, Apple unveiled iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus at Apple's California event on Tuesday. Apple succeeded to keep most of the specifics about its hardware and software enhancements under cloaks.

Here's Everything You Need to Know About iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Screen Size

Undeniably the most chief difference is larger screens. Apple, which has persistently declined to follow industry tendencies in the past, has now apparently bowed to burden and gone in the direction that most Android device makers have gone. The iPhone 6 has a new 4.7-inch 750x1334-pixel screen, which is significantly bigger than the one on the iPhone 5s, while the iPhone 6 Plus comes in at an even bigger 5.5 inches and 1080x1920 pixels. The 326ppi density stays the same on the 4.7-inch screen, even though Apple now calls it a "Retina HD" screen, while the 5.5-inch model gets a substantial bump up to 401ppi. The iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c both have 4-inch 640x1136-pixel screens.

The bigger of the two new devices uses some software features from the iPad line, and takes benefit of its extra screen space by permitting more content on each screen. For the first time, you can use an iPhone completely in landscape the home screen will rotate, but unlike on iPads, all the icons stay in the same places. There's even an improved keyboard with devoted keys for copy, cut and paste.
 iPhone 6 has a new 4.7-inch screen while the iPhone 6 Plus has even bigger 5.5 inches and screen.

Power

Some might debate that the iPhone 5s was thin enough, and that Apple should have used larger batteries as a substitute of reducing volume further. The iPhone 6 promises up to 14 hours of 3G talktime while the iPhone 6 Plus is rated for an bewildering 24 hours. That's compared to 10 hours on the iPhone 5s and 5c. Standby time remains the same 10 days on the iPhone 6, while the iPhone 6 Plus can last up to 16 days on a single charge.

A lot of the power savings can be accredited to Apple's new A8 SoC and M8 motion coprocessor. Apple has not revealed the chips' specifications or speeds, but has promised 25 percent more CPU power and 50 percent faster graphics, along with remarkable power savings. The A8 is mass-produced on a 20nm process and has 2 billion transistors. The iPhone 5s was the first iOS device to use a 64-bit processor, last year's Apple A7, and also the first to have a devoted motion coprocessor. The iPhone 5c uses the older Apple A6 SoC which was presented with the iPhone 5 two years ago.





Dimensions

Certainly the larger screens mean that both models are taller and wider than their ancestors, but Apple has made the most of that and reduced thickness to pay compensation. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are 6.9 and 7.1mm thick respectively, as opposed to the 8.97mm of the iPhone 5c and 7.6mm of the iPhone 5s and 5, which had felt so much thinner than the 4S when it first launched.

The power button on both models has been moved to the upper right edge, which is stress-free to reach than the top.


Cameras

One zone in which Apple has not worried trying to catch up to Android manufacturers is its cameras. In terms of raw resolution, we've got the same 8-megapixel rating as before. Nonetheless, Apple says the sensor is all new, and has been intended to lock focus much faster. A new "Focus pixels" feature senses light intensity quickly, permitting the autofocus to lock that much faster.

Apple also hypes improved color precision and more progressive noise reduction algorithms. There is committed hardware for image processing. The iPhone 5s camera doesn't have these new features but is still grander to the iPhone 5c camera, which has a single LED flash.

The larger iPhone 6 Plus has optical image steadiness, which actually adjusts the lens to compensate for shaky hands and sudden movements, leading to sharper images and video. The iPhone 6 and 5s use digital stabilization, which is a method of achieving similar results through software.
The front camera now ropes a burst mode and you can panoramas up to 43 megapixels big with the primary camera, which uses the phone's gyroscope to automatically line up the edges of each frame.


Networks

On the less dazzling side, the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been upgraded with high-speed Wi-Fi ac support. They also work on more LTE bands around the world - the total is now up to 20, including the TD 2300 band used in India. The iPhone 5s and 5c also support the Indian LTE band but Wi-Fi n is the highest speed standard supported.

The two new iPhones gain VoLTE (voice over LTE) support and carrier aggregation, which allows multiple bands to be used at the same time to increase throughput.


NFC and sensors

Apple's new Apple Pay feature works using a combination of NFC and fingerprints. You can tap your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus to a payment station while holding your finger to the Touch ID sensor to approve payments. This feature won't be available on older iPhones counting the iPhone 5s. The iPhone 5c lacks the Touch ID sensor, so transactions still need to be authorized with old-style passwords.

There's also a new barometer, which helps health and fitness apps track your movements. The new sensor allows recognition of altitude so the device knows when you're walking and when you're climbing stairs.

Software

The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will come with iOS 8 preinstalled. The new OS introduces a number of features including Health, a new app that helps track your activity and nutrition; Photos, an all-new photo management and editing tool; more intelligent Spotlight searches; voice clips in the Messaging app; an improved keyboard with suggestions; and loads of new frameworks for developers to build on.

Most of these features should translate well to older iOS devices, but some, such as Apple Pay, require specific hardware that older products won't have.


Pricing and Availability

The iPhone 6 replaces the iPhone 5s at the $199 price point (on contract in the US), but the iPhone 6 Plus comes in at a new $299 level. These are the starting prices for 16GB models, and the increase is still $100 for each bump in capacity.

Fascinatingly, Apple has dropped the 32GB mid-tier models and you'll now get 64GB at the same price. Another $100 will get you 128GB instead of 64GB. Both models will be available in the same three colors as the iPhone 5s: gold, silver and space grey.

The iPhone 5s will continue to be available in 16GB and 32GB models. While the 16GB model drops to $99, the increase to 32GB will cost only $50 more. Only the 8GB version of the iPhone 5c will remain available, but it will be free on contract in the US.

Apple had primarily put a date of September 26 on its India website, which seems to have been a mistake, as it has now been updated to show October 17. It is not clear if this applies to the iPhone 6 Plus as well, though this is unlikely considering reports of production issues that have forced supplies. Pricing in Indian rupees is not yet known. Apple will most likely announce prices and retail tie-ups in the week prior to the launch.

Simple Tricks to Improve your iPhone's Battery Life.

Want to improve your iPhone's battery life? Sick of running out of juice around 8pm? Follow these tricks for all-day iPhone battery life

What is the most essential technology to any smart phone? It’s not the screen quality or size. It’s not the storage space or looks. It’s the battery backup. Because without a good battery backup it doesn’t matter how advanced your phone is, because if won’t work for too long. That’s the reason why iPhone is the most awesome device in the world for the first half of the day, and a great trouble for the latter.But I’ve started using a number of tricks to make my battery life last longer.

These tricks will not only enhance you battery life, but also improve the general performance of your much-loved iPhone. Most of the tricks listed below are simple to put into practice and should.

Here are few Simple Tricks to Improve your iPhone's Battery Life.


Those Motion Effects. Stop them.

The parallax effect is the name given to the faintly moving icons and notifications in iOS 7 when you move your iPhone. Apple fashioned the parallax effect to give the flat icons some depth. On the other hand, as with any process that requires movement, the graphic capabilities needed to do this suck up battery life. In order to disable this effect go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion > and toggle the switch to ON (green).

Disable the Dynamic Backgrounds.

An additional motion feature in iOS 7 is the dynamic backgrounds. These are the wallpapers that have slight motion in them. They look great, but that motion is sucking into your valuable battery life. It’s most excellent to use a still image for your wallpaper. To do away with of the dynamic images go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > Choose a New Wallpaper and select a wallpaper from the “Stills” selection.

Turn on the Auto-Brightness.

Increased screen brightness takes up a great amount of battery life. This is because the added light required to light up your screen requires a lot of energy, exhausting your battery faster. Screens commonly require less light in darkness and more when it’s bright outside. To adjust your iPhone’s brightness levels automatically go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > and toggle the Auto-Brightness switch to ON (green).

Or Reduce the Screen Brightness Manually.

 If Auto-Brightness isn’t doing great for you, you can always set the brightness levels on your own. Go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > and decrease the brightness level by adjusting the slider. This will help you in a big way to save your battery backup up to a great extent.

Turn Off the Bluetooth.

The most recent iPhones have Bluetooth 4.0, also known as Bluetooth Low Energy, or BLE. And while BLE uses a lot less power than previous versions of Bluetooth it still takes up power unnecessarily when you leave it on and don’t plan on connecting to any Bluetooth devices. To quickly switch Bluetooth off simply bring up the Control Center. Click the Bluetooth button so it turns black. This disables Bluetooth.

Turn Off Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi is another connection tools we usually don’t need when out. It’s more essential when we are in our home or office, as using Wi-Fi doesn’t drain into our data plans. But keeping it enabled all the time means our phones are frequently looking to join Wi-Fi networks as we roam across the city or take a trip on the train. The result is low battery backup. To quickly switch Wi-Fi off simply bring up the Control Center. Click the Wi-Fi button so it turns black. This disables Wi-Fi.
 

Stop Background App Refresh.

Background App Refresh is a feature in iOS 7 that enable apps to learn when you regularly check them. This allows the apps to calculate when you'll next check them and sees them craving their servers right before you do so they can pull the latest data and have it ready and waiting for you when you open the app. It’s a really versatile feature with the exception that it leads to draining your battery since these apps are running in the background.

To disable Background App Refresh go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh >  and toggle the switch to OFF (white) or toggle individual apps ON or OFF.

Switch Off App Location Services.

Location Services allows apps to know where you using GPS coordinate or Wi-Fi triangulation. This is helpful for a number of apps, but it sucks all the battery power.

To save battery go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > and toggle the switch to OFF (white) to turn off all Location Services (not recommended) or toggle individual apps access ON or OFF.

Turn Off System Location Services.

Just because you’ve tweaked every app access to Location Services doesn’t mean you can’t get some further battery savings from disabling the feature in other places. The core of iOS uses Location Services for many other purposes and some of them are absolutely meaningless. You don’t need them! So turn them off.

Settings > Privacy > Location Services > and scroll down until you see System Services. Tap that and toggle the switches to OFF (white) to disable individual system Location Services. I suggest disabling Diagnostics & Usage and Location-Based iAds.

Turn Siri Off.

Siri is always functioning in the background as a default on iOS 7. She’s just sat there waiting for you to speak to her meaning she’s always using up a little amount of battery in the background. It’s not helpful, particularly if you don’t use her, plus it isn’t hard to just turn her on by yourself.

You need to head into Settings > General > Siri and then turn off the Raise To Speak feature. Now you can’t call her to get into Siri but you can still do it with the home button.
 
There is an option to switch your iPhone battery to display as a percentage in its place. It’ll facilitate you keep a proper eye on the battery you’ve got left on your phone and know when to act with the tips above.

Thermal cameras have a wide range of uses, including by law enforcement to look for criminals at night or when hiding in brush, as a night vision system by the military, and by environmental inspectors looking for heat leaks from faulty insulation, finding lost pets in the dark, looking for energy leaking from your house, or to watch for wildlife.

The device works by merging the heat signature information it gets from the infrared camera with the live camera image from the iPhone. This afterwards delivers a merged thermal heat image. The product is a negative-type image of with a variety of heat levels in an collection of different colours – bright red and white denoting the hottest.

FLIR iPhone case with infrared imaging


What is it used for? FLIR Systems give explanation that it will be helpful for investigating the position of pipes in walls, finding weak mark in your home’s insulation, finding hidden animals in bushes and finding leaks before they cause severe damage.



The case has its own battery pack, which holds a two hour charge, and weighs about the same as the phone. It cost for about $350 and will be available in August. Users will be able to take time slide and panoramic thermal images, at the same time being able to edit and share what they’ve captured.

In every iOS release, Apple puts in a lot of exertion to not just add typical features like Continuity, Extensions, but to also improve iOS’ already remarkable set of accessibility tools. In this post, we roll out all new Accessibility features Apple added in iOS 8

All the new features Apple added in iOS 8.

Here are All the new features Apple added in iOS 8.


1. Natural Sounding VoiceOver.

Existing versions of iOS have a robotic-sounding VoiceOver that doesn’t feel as natural as OS X’s speech synthesis system. Apple is bringing Alex, its natural-sounding voice on the Mac to iOS. Alex will work with all of iOS’s spoken audio technologies except Siri which includes VoiceOver, Speak Selection. In real meaning, Alex is a substitute for the robotic-sounding voice that controls VoiceOver.

2. Speak Screen.

Speak Screen is a new feature in iOS 8, that speaks out the contents of the screen including text, buttons, labels etc. This feature will be a blessing to visually impaired users who may have issues reading text on their iPhone and/or iPad and can be triggered by a simple gesture. iOS 7 already has a similar feature called Speak Selection and It should be noted that Speak Screen is basically different from Speak Selection. Speak Selection  works only with text that is selected at the time.

3. Enhancement to Zoom.

 iOS has had zoom since moderately a few versions, that lets you zoom into the screen and then move around with the help of gestures. The feature is now more refined, users now have the ability to specify which part of the screen is zoomed in, as well as adjust the level of the zoom, and the keyboard appears in its normal size even when zoom is active.

4. Addition of Grayscale.

In addition to a pseudo-theme Invert Color. Apple in iOS 8 is adding a second pseudo-theme to the system with Grayscale that provides the entire user interface in gray scale rather than color.

5. Guided Access Improvements.

Guided Access is an accessibility feature that lets you limit your iOS device to a single app with a passcode, and disable unnecessary gestures, and hardware buttons. With iOS 8, Guided Access lets you use Touch ID for verification when quitting an app. Apple also had a feature that lets users configure a time limit for Guided Access, after which all parts of iOS are reachable without the need for any passcode.

Guided Access plays an significant role in businesses, offices and schools where iPads are set up and used to run just a single application. Guided Access’s new features are basically game-changing, crucial tools for educators.

6.Braille Keyboard. 

Apple has added support for a 6 dot Braille keyboard throughout the system. This feature involves a devoted Braille keyboard that will decode 6-dot chords into text.

7. Hearing Aids “Made for iPhone”.

Apple has several partners that manufacture Made for iPhone hearing aids that connect to the iPhone via Bluetooth, and provide a lot of accessibility features. Apple in iOS 8 has enhanced its Made for iPhone Hearing Aids software so that now users who use hearing aids and have multiple devices now can easily switch between them.  The user can also select which device they’d like to connect to, if there are more than two devices paired. 

8. Third Party Keyboards.

Apple has the same keyboard that shipped with the original iPhone in 2007. The problem is that the key caps are too small and the glyphs too hard to read.Apple’s Extensibility framework lets third-party developers build their own custom, system-wide keyboards. This opens up the possibility of improving the default keyboard’s key size, spacing and organisation. Basically with the new API, though, third party developers can create completely customized keyboards that users can use instead of the stock one.

Conclusion.

Apple’s dedicated loyalty for improving Accessibility year after year deserves the supreme praise, and 2014 is no different. Apple already had one of the best set of accessibility features in the smartphone and tablet business, and with iOS 8, it further improves upon these features to make iPhones and iPads even more functional for everyone.

"iPhone 6" Concept by Ciccarese Design.

In addition to the rumours and assumptions related to Apple's greatly expected "iPhone 6" unveiling, a doubtful report on earlier today claims that Apple to launch iPhone 6 on October 14.

MacRumors, in a report quoting an internal Apple Retail Store meeting, suggests that the Cupertino-based giant might be planning to launch the much anticipated iPhone 6 on October 14, which happens to be a Tuesday - a day when Apple habitually makes its declarations, followed by the release generally the same Friday.

Also Read: Alternative to iOS and Android: Ubuntu for Android.


Though the new iPhone 6 may first appear in October assuming this information is on the money, Apple in point of fact would introduce the phone at an occasion planned for September 16, according to the source.

For the past many years, Apple has usually unveiled the new iPhone in September and then launched it before the month ends. That line of attack has allowed the company to apply sales of a new iPhone to the September quarter to help increase economic results before the quarter comes to an end. Launching the iPhone 6 in October would put a depression in Apple's economic fourth-quarter results.

Apple is likely to launch two redesigned iPhone 6 models that are a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 with many look forward for a slimmed-down profile, superior components like an "A8" processor and perhaps more committed storage. A believed iPhone 6 logic board leak last week suggested the insertion of 802.11ac Wi-Fi and NFC support, though the rumour is unconfirmed.

According to MacRumors' source, Apple wants to push release up earlier in the week because of high customer demand and heavy supply of the product as a result of greater than before production.

Recently, a report suggested that because of production issues the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 launch might be pushed to December. Besides, the report also said Apple would introduce its long-rumoured smartwatch  (rumoured to be called iTime), together with the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 (also rumoured to be called the iPhone Air), in December.


Also Read: Why 5.5-inch iPhone 6 won't be launched with 4.7-inch iPhone 6.


While it is not clear why Apple changed its tradition and is waiting for October to lash out its brand new smart phone. In addition to a larger screen, both versions of the iPhone 6 are likely to feature a thinner side view, a faster A8 processor, and an enhanced camera.

Apple to launch iPhone 6 on October 14.

Left to Right: 5.5-inch iPhone 6, 4.7-inch iPhone 6, iPhone 5S

Countless iPhone 6 rumours have alleged the bigger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 model is postponed. Digitimes has discovered from sources well-known with the matter that price is not a concern for the 5.5-inch Phablet. Keeping in mind that Apple has been under going through a variety of production problems associated with innovative display with in-cell touch sensors, battery size and the sapphire front panel. However according to a latest report, it seems that’s not why Apple may feel like delaying the giant phone. The company has an entirely different motive to seize the phone back.


It seems that the company well-read its number previous year when it launched the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c at the same time, with the superior model being a better seller at the time of release.

Apple doesn’t wish for any competition between the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 models at launch, the report states, and will release the 5.5-inch Phablet “several months later than the new 4.7-inch model.”

If the reports are to be believe then the company is getting ready for its most imperative iPhone launch in history of the company, receiving order up to 80 million iPhone 6 pieces for this year.


The publication also states that iWatch production won’t get affected either by low revenue rates, also that the existing iPhone series supply will stay unchanged.


Here’s why 5.5-inch iPhone 6 is delayed and won't be launched with 4.7-inch iPhone 6 in September.

Apple is recalling power adapters sold in Europe and some parts of Asia and Africa after reports emerged that the devices were overheating and putting consumer’s safety at jeopardy.

The company released a statement on Friday, promising affected consumers new adapters in exchange for turning in old adapters. The faulty adapters were put together with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S devices between October 2009 and September 2012. However, they were also sold as independent accessories. A total of 37 countries were affected.


Apple did not state what injuries, if any, were sustained by clients using the devices. A detailed list of impacted countries, together with France, South Africa and Vietnam, can be found in the announcement on Apple's website.

The precise model number for the adapter is A1300. Owners are expected to make an appointment with a local Genius Bar to exchange their adapters.

The number of adapters recalled was not presented.


Apple issued the following report about the adapter subject: "Apple has voluntarily introduced a program for customers to exchange the Apple 5W European USB Power Adapter which came with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S models through September 2012, because in rare cases the adapter may overheat and pose a safety risk.

iOS 8 has been addressed as Apple's most innovative operating system until now. Here is Everything you need to know about iOS 8.




Apple revealed iOS 8, its latest operating system for iPhone and iPad earlier this week at its annual worldwide developers' conference (WWDC), calling it the biggest iOS release ever since the launch of the App Store.
The system contains a range of new features which put forward a transformed interest in lifestyle integration, along with multitasking and faster, easier sharing. Here are the key features you need to know about:

HomeKIt



HomeKit is aimed to control internet-enabled home appliances, such as security systems, washing machines and fridges remotely through your iPad or iPhone. Apps for every appliance or service will be grouped in one place with the potential to be controlled by digital assistant Siri. For example, telling Siri you're preparing on going to bed could activate your lights dimming, doors locking and thermostat being set.

HealthKit


Just like HomeKit, HealthKit will line healthcare and fitness apps and permit them to communicate with one another. For example, a heart monitoring app and blood pressure tracking app could send information to each other from within HealthKit to develop a wide-ranging picture of your health. This modified data could then be sent to your medical doctor through an app such as Mayo Clinic, which will allow your doctor to observe certain changes in your information remotely. Apple is also at work with a number of partners including Nike on the fitness side of HealthKit, through which users can set aim and track their own growth through a single dashboard.


Enhanced Messaging


Getting irritated by multiple notifications from a group conversation? A new muting feature makes it possible to silence those maddening pings, and enhancements to video and audio controls will be introduced to make messaging through numerous platforms as smooth as possible. New location controls will also make sharing where you are with contacts more appropriate.

Family Sharing



The Family Sharing app has been planned to make sharing purchases of films, iBooks, apps and songs at ease, across up to six family members' devices. Each member has an account which is connected to a single payment card, meaning all purchases must be permitted by a parent before any currency is exchanged.

iCloud Drive



Apple is taking on its cloud storage competitors through the iCloud - allowing you to work on any kind of document across any of your Apple devices, or even Windows PC. Edits made to these files will be straightaway visible, no matter which product you're using. Likewise, an email in progress on your one device can now be finished off by another through Continuity, a true push towards smooth integration, while iPhone users can answer calls by a Mac or iPad, and send SMS messages from any of them.

Editing Picture


iOS 8 users can correct elements of their pictures, such as brightness, contrast or saturation, and watch the changes take place in present on another iOS device through a sequence of powerful new editing tools. Every photo will be uploaded to the new iCloud Photo Library, making them manageable through all Apple devices.

Touch ID


The iPhone 5s' brilliant fingerprint scanner was formerly confined to unlocking the phone and providing proof of identity when making purchases in the App Store. Through iOS 8, the technology will be used by third party apps to safeguard logins and user data, making purchases quicker, more suitable and more secure.

Improved keyboard


Apple has modernized its keyboard function to better predict contextually appropriate words when typing. It identifies the receiver you're writing a message to and the presentation, as your tone in an email may vary from that you'd use in a text message. It also learns from your writing behaviors over time, making writing more spontaneous and faster.

Spotlight


Search system Spotlight has been restored to display suggestions from Wikipedia, applicable nearby locations and trending news together with more conservative searches for contact information or apps. This has been personalized to be as contextually related as possible to what you're searching for.

App Store updates

The App Store has also acknowledged a minute makeover, posing a trending report bar, upgraded search function and a video option in app previews.

The Flappy Bird madness goes on, with a second-hand iPhone with the game pre-installed on it having a price of almost $99,000 on eBay.

Game designer Dong Nguyen took down the game from app storeson Android and iPhone yesterday, signifying it can no longer be downloaded, but will still exist on devices that previously have it installed.

This is pretty unreasonable guys. I mean, if I would’ve known this whole Flappy Bird situation was going to lead people into making astounding profit from it, I would’ve bought for myself an iPhone. Seems some witty entrepreneurs out there decided to take it upon themselves to help those who weren’t able to take hold of a Flappy Bird download by throwing iPhones on ebay with the game pre-installed. Hey why not? Could make a couple hundred bucks or so.
The image above shows actual ebay bidding for one of these iPhones with Flappy Bird pre-installed on it. The bid is almost at $99,000! What? I want to believe this is fake, but looking on the authentic page it does seem to be legit. I even saw someone else post a screenshot of another iPhone with Flappy Bird installed on it going for $42,000. Fortunately it’s as simple as, click, click, and click, to put an apk file of the game on our Android devices.

Does this confirm that Flappy Bird is as maddeningly popular as has been argued? Or has the game gained awareness, inescapably flapping towards a final pipe that will always be out of reach?

I can’t even think someone would in reality pay that amount of money, and that very may be the case. It’s not like they are putting actual money on the table. Could be just idiots making fun of other idiots for putting the iPhone on Ebay. But we really will never know. Let us know your feelings about this madness. Maybe its the developer posting these iPhones to scrape up more currency from his game, and all this excitement surrounding it was just a smart marketing scheme.
