Apple iPhone 6s vs Samsung Galaxy S6, Auckland, New Zealand, 0800429429 Repair, iOS, iCloud

The iPhone 6s may have been been recently introduced to the world surrounded by excitement and fanfare, but that doesn't give Apple an immediate right to expect to dominate the smartphone market over the next quarter.

Granted, the technical specifications that ship with the iPhone 6s are impressive as is the physical appearance of the device – a design that we know resonates with consumers due to it being proven by the popularity of the iPhone 6. But what about competing devices like Samsung's Galaxy S6? Let's take a look at each device to see how they measure up.

iPhone-6-Vs-Galaxy-S6

Design:

Both Samsung's Galaxy S6 and Apple's iPhone 6s are beautifully designed. Due to its "s" generational evolution, Apple's iPhone borrows much of its physical appearance from its predecessor, the iPhone 6, shipping with an almost identical metal unibody.

Samsung's Galaxy S6, on the other hand, has a mix of aluminum and glass body to capture the attention of consumers. Preferring one physical design over another is really a personalized decision, but both devices are undeniably beautiful.

Display:

The accompanying display is the window to the soul of the device, and is therefore one of the most important aspects of any smartphone or tablet. Apple's iPhone 6s comes with a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, with a 1334 x 740 pixel resolution serving up 326 PPI. Of course, there's also the addition of 3D Touch technology that opens the device up to a whole new range of possibilities. It's basically a pressure sensitive display that can sense three different level/pressure of touch. Here's how 3D Touch in iPhone 6s works:

Samsung's Galaxy S6 offering comes equipped with a larger 5.1-inch Quad HD display offering up a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution at 577 PPI.

Processor and RAM:

After the display, consumers are generally interested in just how much processing power their kit ships with. As we already know, the Galaxy S6 packs an octa-core processor comprising a quad-core 1.5GHz Cortex-A53 and a quad-core 2.1GHz Cortex-A57. There's also 3GB of RAM alongside that beast. Apple's latest iPhone ships with its own Apple A9 64-bit processor, which has the M9 motion coprocessor built in. The iPhone 6s has been confirmed to ship with 2GB of RAM, and as we've been shown time and time again, Apple's harmonious collaboration between hardware and software generally gets the best out of what it's given.

Software:

This one is really chalk and cheese. Day and night. Entirely personal preference. The iPhone 6s, of course, ships with iOS 9 pre-installed. The Samsung Galaxy S6, of course, serves up the latest final version of Android Lollipop. Features and functionality within each platform are extremely well documented, both officially and by the likes of ourselves. However, what it really boils down to is if the decision was made purely on the underlying operating system, would you be more comfortable tying yourself down to Apple or Google's ecosystem?

Battery:

This one is a little trickier. While specs will tell you that Galaxy S6's 2550mAh means better battery than iPhone 6s's 1715mAh, in real world tests though, it will be another story altogether. Galaxy S6's Quad HD screen and TouchWiz software reportedly gives worse battery time than even its predecessor. Apple on the other hand claims that new battery management in iOS 9 and the battery efficient A9+M9 chip means iPhone 6s gives same battery time as iPhone 6 despite having 200mAh less battery capacity.

According to Apple, iPhone 6s should give you 14 hours of talk time, 10 days of standby, 10 hours of LTE or 3G usage and 11 hours of WiFi usage. Samsung doesn't provide any official battery time stats for battery in Galaxy S6.

Camera:

Both devices ship with phenomenal cameras. It's as simple as that. Samsung's Galaxy S6 serves up a stunning 16-megapixel rear shooter with 4K video recording. With that said, that's pretty much all it is – a really polished and capable camera. The iPhone 6s, on the other hand, may come with a 12-megapixel module, but it does provide the option of Live Photos, which essentially means that every image taken is also stored as a very short video clip that can be used as a wallpaper. And as for videos, the iPhone 6s is also capable of shooting videos in 4K.

Price:

This is where we could find a number of individuals actually splitting off towards Apple or Samsung. Apple's iPhone 6s starts at $649 for a SIM-free, unlocked, 16GB version in Space Gray, Silver, Gold or Rose Gold color options. Samsung's Galaxy S6, on the other hand, is slightly cheaper (after the recent price drop), starting at around the $576 mark for a SIM-free option available in four different color options as well. Given the fact that it launched five months earlier, it should be widely available right now.

When it comes down to it, both handsets look fantastic. Both devices are undeniably powerful and should be able to handle most modern smartphone tasks with relative ease. Both come with biometric fingerprint detection as well. The choice really does come down to personal preference. Android or iOS? Apple or Samsung? Tried and tested or new to the market? Maybe the likes of 3D Touch and Live Photos seals the deal for you? Or maybe you prefer Quad HD screen and wireless charging in Galaxy S6? The choice is yours to make.

How to Save Battery Power on an iPhone 6S Plus? Auckalnd iPhone iPad Repair 0800429429

Does it always seem like your iPhone or iPod Touch runs out of battery life just as you're about to use it for an important meeting, or settling in for a six-hour plane ride? This article will offer some tips as to conserving battery power on your device.

Step 1

Lower the brightness. Go to the Settings menu, select the Brightness option, and turn the screen brightness down to low. It will be somewhat more difficult to use apps or read something on low brightness, but it will save you lots of battery power.

Step 2

Update to the latest software. Apple engineers implement frequent changes to iPhone software, making it necessary to update to the latest software in order to harness those changes.

If your phone is operating iOS 5 or later, check for software update availability by going to Settings → General → Software Update.

To check for software update availability through iTunes, plug your iPhone into your computer and look for it in the source list. Click on the iPhone in the source list and then click on

Step 3

Use music, videos, games or internet browsing sparingly. The graphics in these can all quickly drain your battery life, so make sure you're using them for all they're worth.

Step 4

Fetch data manually, or set fetch data to "hourly." Your phone fetches data periodically to update email and other notifications. The more often your phone fetches data, the quicker your battery life may deplete.

To tell iPhone to let you fetch data manually, navigate to Settings → Mail, Contacts, Calendars → Fetch New Data → Manually.

Step 5

Turn WiFi off. Because of your phone constantly reaching out for wifi signal, the battery life drops faster.

Step 6

Turn Cellular Data and (especially) 3G off.

Go to Setting → General → Cellular → Switch Cellular Data and Enable 3G to Off.

Step 7

Turn off push mail when you're not using it. If you have push mail on for a Yahoo! account, for example, and you dearly need to save power, turn off mail. To turn off push mail:

Navigate to Settings → Mail, Contacts, Calendars → Fetch New Data, and set Push to Off.

Step 8

Turn off push notifications. The iPhone's various apps are sometimes alerted to software updates through push notifications, which can unfortunately drain battery life. In order to turn off push notifications, navigate to Settings → Notifications and disable notifications for any applications you don't deem absolutely necessary.

Step 9

Use location software sparingly. Some apps on your phone, such as Maps, use location-pinning software to determine GPS locations. When you are not using them, and for privacy concerns, get in the habit of turning this function off.

Go to Settings → Privacy → Location Services and disable.

Step 10

When no coverage exists, switch to airplane mode. Your iPhone always tries to search for coverage, even in places where no coverage exists, burning battery power as it does so. For this reason, it's recommended to switch over to airplane mode when you are in such an area.

Step 11

Close apps properly. If you just press the Home button, some apps are still running in background. Double press the Home button and close them manually.

Step 12

Give it space when it charges. You may notice that your iPhone gets warm when it charges. If your iPhone is wrapped up in a carrying case while charging, the excess heat may affect the battery power. Be sure to give your iPhone adequate space while it's charging.

Step 13

Lock your phone (or put it on a short auto-lock). If your phone isn't set to a quick auto-lock time already, be sure to correct it. There's a good chance that your phone could waste battery power when you aren't using it if it isn't locked.

Go to Settings → General → Auto-Lock and set it to 1 minute or less.

Step 14

Let your phone complete at least one charge cycle each month. A charge cycle is when you charge the phone to 100% and let the battery power drain completely, after which you charge it again. Going through a charge cycle per month keeps the electrons in the iPhone lithium battery properly greased, so to speak.

New 'Concorde 2' could fly from London to New York in an hour

An Airbus design for a successor to Concorde will fly at 4.5 times the speed of sound and get passengers from London to New York in one hour flat.

The Concorde 2 would take off vertically and fly at speeds of 3,425 miles per hour – three times faster than the original Concorde, according to a video by Patent Yogi.

Described as "the highest rollercoaster in the world", the aircraft would rely on three different types of engine, each fuelled by different forms of hydrogen.

Two turbo jets would propel the plane into the air in a vertical take-off. A rocket motor would then accelerate it through the sound barrier, taking it to 35,000m altitude. Finally wing-mounted ramjets would push the Concorde 2 to its final cruising speed of Mach 4.5.

The designs, based on a patent awarded to Airbus in July, are of a sleek, futuristic aircraft that look more at home in a Hollywood sci-fi than over the skies of London.

But the smooth bubble-shaped outline will also make the aircraft quieter, cutting down the volume of the infamous sonic boom as the plane breaches the sound barrier.

The hypersonic jet might not not only cut down trans-Atlantic journey times - it could also potentially cross the Pacific from LA to Tokyo in just three hours.

However not all its specifications improve on the original Concorde. It will only carry 20 passengers – sitting in hammocks according to the video - and the cost of a ticket could burn a hole in your pocket.

"In the case of civil applications, the market envisaged is principally that of business travel and VIP passengers, who require transcontinental return journeys within one day," the patent states, according to the Daily Mail.

Airbus says the jet could also be used for military purposes, transporting soldiers at high speed, creating the ultimate rapid-reaction force.

Invested in a new starter from Kangertech and hope it will help me to cut off totally from smoking tobacco! Auckland, New Zealand.
