iPhone 6: A Complete Review

iphone6
As a smartphone brand, Apple needs no particular introduction: ever since the release of the first original iPhone in 2007, every new model produced by Apple is met with anticipation from the buyers and favorable reviews from the critics. The iPhone 6, presented two years ago, is no exception: the redesigned body, the upgraded operating system, and the brand new variety of features made the iPhone 6 a top selling device until nowadays. Learn more about this iconic model and the best way to get it in Nigeria.

Design

The iPhone 6 became the largest iPhone released by Apple since the launch of the iPhone lineup, which is not surprising, considering the ever growing popularity of enormous Android-based devices. If you’ve always found the 4-inch iPhone models to be too small for your needs, the screen size and the way the new iPhone 6 feels in your hands may be exactly what you’re looking for.

The bigger size and larger dimensions didn’t make the iPhone heavier or bulkier: at just 129 grams it’s actually one of the lightest smartphones available in the market. The iPhone 6 features a curvaceous body made of brushed aluminum and is available in three colors: Silver, Space Grey, and Gold. Traditionally, the build quality of the iPhone 6 is extremely high, which is exactly what you expect from a brand as renowned as Apple.

Hardware

The 2014 additions to the iPhone lineup feature an 1.2 GHz A8 processor instead of the A7 found in the previous models. Apple claims that the A8 chip is 50% more power efficient than the A7, which positively influences the device’s battery life. The processor is paired with 1GB of RAM, which may not seem enough for a device as powerful as the iPhone 6, but only until you remember that Apple is much better at utilizing RAM than most Android smartphone manufacturers. The combination of features allows the iPhone 6 to deliver superfast performance compared to other leading models from renowned brands.

Software

Originally, the iPhone 6 ran the iOS 8, although if you buy this iPhone today, you can easily upgrade it to the new iOS 10 within minutes. Even though the iOS 8 has significant differences from the previous versions of Apple’s operating system, you won’t find any difficulties in trying to navigate the new OS. In addition to the usual set of operating system features and apps, you will also find a variety of new ones to try.

Apple Is Set To Start Removing Unmaintained Apps From The App Store

apple app store
Apple is making some changes to its App Store Review Guidelines for developers ahead of the launch of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra and they have announced this via email to their registered developers. The reason for this change is to remove the outdated apps and make it easier for users to find better apps.

The biggest change is that Apple will begin to remove outdated apps from the App Store that no longer comply with the new current guidelines or haven't been updated to support new APIs or features. Removing old apps will also reduce the number of apps that haven't been updated for compatibility with newer iOS versions or iDevices.

Apple isn't saying exactly what criteria it will use to remove apps, just that it is "implementing an ongoing process of evaluating apps for these issues, notifying their developers, and removing problematic and abandoned apps." People who have already downloaded these apps will still be able to download them, developers will be given 30 days to issue an update before their app is removed, and if their apps are removed they will still be associated with that developer's account and other developers won't be able to use the names for other apps.

The company is also ready to start the fight against spammy app names. For instance, if you search for “Instagram” on the App Store, one of the first results is an app that is called “Photo Collage, Picture Editor” These apps will get cut off.

Apps that crash on launch are also not left out, They will be removed immediately.

Another change is related to app names. Apps submitted to the App Store will now have their names capped at 50 characters. This is meant to cut down on the number of apps that are having long names with multiple keywords intended to improve search ranking.
Apple will start reviewing old apps on September 7. Below, see one of Apple's official messaging as regards this change.

Google Duo Finally Available For Download On Google Play Store

Google announced the launch of a video call app at the Google IO 2016 named Google Duo. This app is now available for download and I am already using it. Google Duo is another way Google answers to Apple's Facetime. This app makes face-to-face call with android smartphones and can also make video calls from android to iPhones too as this app is available to iPhone users.

Duo's unique feature is Knock Knock, which gives you a preview of who is calling by firing up the camera on the other end of the line. If you're initiating the call, you'll see a little notice that says your video is visible, which means the other person can see what you're doing right at that moment in real time. Android users can see Knock Knock regardless of whether Duo is opened or not (like on the lock screen). On the iPhone though, you'll only see it if you're in the app. Otherwise, you'll just get a little notification saying someone's calling you. Google's rationale for this is that Knock Knock already gets you smiling before the call starts. Of course, that's assuming you actually like/want to speak to the other person who is on the other line.

You can go and download this app now on play store for android users. Click here to download.

After downloading setting up your Google Duo is very easy.

=> You will be asked to input your mobile number and a verification code will be sent to you.

Wooohooo! After performing the above steps you are ready to use Google Duo. I hope you enjoy this app. Don't leave your feedback in the comment box if you are already using this app.

Cellebrite Suspected To Be The Company Behind iPhone Crack

After last year's shooting at San Bernardino, California, the United states F.B.I worked with the Isreal's Cellebrite mobile synchronization Ltd. to crack the apple iphone used by the shooter.

The United states Justice Department said on tuesday that it gained access to the data on the shooters phone after being approached by a third party about a possible way to gain access into the phone's data. Apple refused to comply with the court order to unlock the phone, reasons being it was an unreasonable demand on the company and will be a security threat to the privacy of other iPhone users.

Cellebrite has been working with the United states F.B.I even before this project, some people said, who asked that their identities should not be disclosed. The successful cracking of the iphone has put a pause to the government's legal battle with Apple for now.
Cellebrite declined to comment. Cellebrite involvement with the the FBI on this issue was first reported by Yedioth Ahronoth, an Isreali daily and the U.S law enforcement officials have declined to disclose who helped it gain access into the iphone.
