iPhone SE: The New Release from Apple

- Wednesday, 22 June 2016 3 Comments

The new addition in iPhone’s family is iPhone SE. Apple rolled this newest addition of iPhone on 30th of March, 2016.

One of the most crucial aspects of this edition of iPhone is the Apple’s strategy to target the first time iPhone users by availing them with the iPhone at a competitive rates.
The launch plan indirectly suggests that Apple is trying to capture the new market with iPhone SE. It inevitably will give way to plenty of first time iPhone users with SE series. Not to mention, this can also mark the return of previous iPhone users who had given up using the iPhone after iPhone 3.

This is perhaps one of the significant move by Apple to barge in to the new market by expanding the breadth of iPhone users. iPhone Se will open the floodgates for plenty of the first time iPhone users because it is the best blend of features and pricing. Indeed, it is an appealing move by apple to mark its dominance in this ever-competitive industry of mobile technology. Because of the success of Apple’s previously launched 5-Series models, the chances of SE’s success are very high.

Small Screen to Drive Design Innovation

iPhone SE has a relatively smaller screen of 4 inches, but that does not restrict its functionality. It has brought down the iPhone prices to an extent that this series of the phone is cheaper than many of the flagship phones in Britain that launched last year.  The chassis remains the same as iPhone 5 and 5S. The beauty of this phone is its size itself as the device can now easily sit at the edge of the thumb stretch.

Clicking pictures are much more fun now.

A 4-inch screen with 12MP camera. It assures what you shall on your device from what you capture will be of a crystal clear quality. The tricks and usability of a camera remain the same with this series of iPhone as it comes with integrated iSight Sensor for better quality images. This might move the 6S buyers to contemplate between SE and 6S as the camera quality remains the same for both the models.

Internally, iPhone SE is a gem

IPhone SE has more powerful than its predecessors iPhone 5 and 5S as this new addition boasts with the new A9 chip blending with the M9 c-processor, and supported by 2GB of internal RAM. It yields a bigger advantage for the SE users at it overpowers the old A7 processor with 1GB of RAM.

The end of ‘Where is the Charger’ story

iPhones are (de)famed for their battery life because if you look around, the iPhone users are constantly in search of their charging chords. But that is now the story of a past as iPhone SE comes with an impressive battery life with 1624mAh, and supporting the same is the screen size that aids in saving battery.

The Mobile app experience

Mobile app development has a significant role to play in giving the users the kind of experience they yearn for from their iPhones. It is in the hands of the mobile app development companies to deliver excellence to the iPhone users with the best iOS app development. 

But, when it comes to iPhone SE, there are a couple of restrictions due to the screen size and app developers must take into consideration the iPhonse SE’s screen specifications seriously to give the best UX. Clearly, you can't have fun viewing HD movies in this version of iPhone. For better results, iOS app developers are expected to custom make iOS applications for the iPhone SE.  It is very much evident in case you downsize the experience from 6S to SE; the app content looks a little cramped and fudgy on screen. 

One of the biggest drawbacks is the absence of 3D touch from iPhone SE as this is where the future lies. Over a period, one will quickly feel the lack of 3D touch on iPhone SE.
But, to sum up the overall iPhone SE story, it is a great fit for a $400 apple phone. Considering the dominance of smartphones in the emerging markets like India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, there is a lot of scope for iPhone to fit in the people’s pocket – in both the ways.

Can You Clean Wearable Tech?

- Tuesday, 20 January 2015 No Comments

Wearable technology is a rapidly expanding and innovative industry, with ever more complex technological functions becoming available in wearable packages for the consumer to enjoy on a day-to-day basis. These products are marketed on the basis of their practicality and utility of design, but are these new ideas practical in terms of cleanliness – and while most of use know how to clean a laptop screen, are those of us investing in newer tech doing our bit to keep our gadgets in shape?

How to clean wearable fitness tech

Fitness tech, including heart-rate monitors, music players, and portable GPS – is becoming more and more affordable, but many units come with their setbacks. A heart rate unit strapped around your chest will quickly accumulate sweat and grime, and if the design has been poorly thought out, any nooks and crannies can become breeding grounds for germs and smells.

Sweat – loaded with corrosive salts  – is the main concern when it comes to maintaining wearable fitness tech, and while we wait for new products which will actively make the most of this bodily function it's a good idea to keep your current devices clean. Even “waterproof” materials such as neoprene can absorb sweat and dirt over time, becoming increasingly odorous and developing white stains.

If your sports tech has a fabric casing which can be detached from the electronic component, consider making it routine to do so after big workouts, and soak it overnight in a solution of warm water and mild washing detergent. Rinse it through in hot water the next morning, and dry thoroughly before use – you want to kill the bacteria causing the smell, so a thorough approach is essential.

How to clean smart watches, phones, and glasses

Like mobile phones, most wearable gadgets (including smart watches and glasses) feature ports for charging and data transfer, and like mobile phones, these ports accumulate dirt. Pocket lint can be blown out with a can of pressurised air, but what about sticky layers of grit from sweat and dead skin? A very small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a cotton bud may be the answer you're looking for – get those prongs clean and shiny to restore your device's capabilities.

Sweat, oil, and other substances from your skin have a tendency to find their way onto screens too. As of January last year, wildly popular Gorilla Glass by Corning (as seen on iPhone and more) possesses antimicrobial properties by way of ionized silver particles within the fabric of the screen. This is good news in terms of hygiene, but that won't stop an accumulation of dirt. If your wearable tech's screen has a glass cover, it's safe to be a little more rough with your cleaning, but the screens of many current smart watches are LCD, and a little more delicate.

As a rule of thumb, it's best to avoid cleaning a screen whilst the device is switched on – as most of us who know how to clean a laptop screen will already know. Many screens can easily stand up to a little isopropyl alcohol or a damp cloth, but some LCD displays will be irreparably damaged as chemicals and minerals burn into the display. Powering off your device before cleaning is the safe option, and allows you to better see the smudges and crusts of dirt that have hidden away around the edges.
