Wonderful production, things that maybe you don’t know.
And is interesting so you can understand how hard is to build a product like the iPhone, that given today, other companies are still copying. You don’t believe me?, look at what the iPhone 11 looks like and what the Pixel 4 looks like.
iPhone 10 ditches finger print to unlock phone (Touch ID) and replaces it with Face unlock… then, there is facial unlock in Pixel phones!!.
iPhone 10 presents a notch display.. every new phone comes with a notch display!.
The fact that Apple did it right at making a mobile device like iPhone is the proof of how serious they took the making of the iPhone was. Android was definitively going to be another thing before iPhone was introduced.
For some reason the freaking iOS take all that space in caches that you can’t access or release, it’s managed by the system ?.
After doing the “ghost pictures” method (set the calendar back in time and go to recently deleted pictures…) I still had 2 GB wasted somewhere. The difference is spotted on what iTunes said my iPhone had as free storage and what is shown in my iPhone general settings.
I remember that one method to erase those caches is by filling your iPhone storage, doing that the system will hurry in deleting those files to give space for the upcoming. There are several apps that do this for you (in some way) by creating an empty file but set to fill the remaining space. Using HFS+ this is possible because by just creating the file and setting what is supposed to use the FS will create such big file and then the watchdogs will release the wasted space, but now with APFS that can’t be done, you can create a file and set what is the desired size, but the FS will not fill it, will be just an empty file with some K’s of space, then, no watchdogs is activated and no space freed.
Some people suggest you to get a really big app, like a game, but I found there’s an easier approach: just ask iTunes to fill the free space with songs.
You don’t have to wait for the song to be in your device , the first think iOS will do is release te use storage. Then remove the already copied files and done ?
Since a couple of months the iPhone had an issue, the earpiece speaker was too low, no matter that I had all the volume up it was pretty hard to listen to the one talking on the other side. I started to use the phone with the speaker in order to have conversations but I don’t like that way, mostly because sometimes I can’t properly listen and there is no noise cancelation meaning that if there is plenty of noise is quite probably the other person won’t listen to me right.
I bought this battery-case last friday, and it works pretty good, it has 3000mAh, which gives me 1.74 battery time (if I don’t use the phone while charging).
Reasons to have a battery pack?. Well, I don’t like to be on the bottom of the battery, call me paranoid but I just don’t like the idea of having 0 power on a device (this happens with my laptop too). And knowing the iPhone has a 1715mAh battery getting it close to discharge is quite easy.
I mean, to me is definitively not something that really changes the way you interact with your phone, well, it does if your interaction is with an iPhone, but in android we have something similar, the long press witch helps you to achieve the exact same thing.
There are some other gestures like the double tap and swipe up/down in chrome to zoom in and out. So for me not something that useful, new yes, valuable yes, useful yes, the thing…. No.
The thing is that it is not practical, I mean, a simple list would be far better than trying to pick the righ one from a calendar view, specially if you have several alarms close each other.
We recently saw the demonstration that evolution is more powerful than anything, natural selection doing its work.
Apple released the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, two phones with bigger screens than the previous iPhones. The iPhone 5 was a mark because for long time Apple said that the 3.5″ was just perfect and nobody needed a bigger phone, when they increased the iPhone 5 screen they did only in the height so you can still get to the edge of the screen with the thumb. So, what happens with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus?.
Well, turns out that the public has spoken, the same thing happened with the iPad, people wanted a small screen and the iPad was suffering in sells because a lot of 7″ tablets were selling like hell (kindle, Nexus, Galaxy… name it) and even when the iPad was selling it was clear that they (Apple) needed a similar device to compete. The same happens with the iPhone, to many people, having a bigger screen in the Phone is a deal, but more importantly, having multiple phone sizes to please more people is the deal to the company. That’s why Samsung have a bunch of devices, from 2.5″ to more than 5″.
Also, Apple had to develop the iWatch. I do believe that this is something just to be in the wave, the Apple watch doesn’t offer anything better than the smartphone could do, neither the other wearables do, and was the opportunity to stay firm in creating products that do provide value to the user experience, not just something to get part of the pie.
I wonder where the computers department would go, in the operating system area there are already some changes, to me OS X Yosemite’s features didn’t required all that facelift, Mavericks looks a lot more pro than Windows or any Linux desktop, no need to move the icons, it’s perfect they wanted to add features like file tags, continuity (with iOS8), the new notification area, getting more integrated with iCloud etc.. but why changing the user interface?. To me transparencies should be in the past. I just hope that the hardware don’t get to big, like Alienware, or plastic.
