Ever wondered what boiling Coca-Cola can spell for your iPhone 6? Let this video be your field guide.
Smartphone cameras were once a novelty, with consumers merely grateful that they could take photos and snap the occasional video without having to lug around a standalone shooter. But now, the camera is considered an essential component, and in the past few years especially, the standards have been greatly improved by OEMs. With Samsung having added 4K support to the Galaxy S5 earlier this year, Apple countered with a much-enhanced point-and-shoot experience for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and if you were under any illusion as to the pedigree of the latest iPhone's camera credentials, the short movie below will leave you in no doubt.
We've seen a plethora of cases for the iPhone lineup, including ones that have built-in power packs, a kickstand and more, but nothing could've prepared us for a case that also serves as a virtual reality headset for your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. We’re talking about ‘Pinć’; a compact virtual reality headset that can be attached to your iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus like any other protective case.
Let's face it, we've all come across those awkward conversation-crunching typos on our smartphones in the attempt of typing really fast. Then there is the Guinness World Record of 17.00 seconds of typing a finger twisting message on a touch-screen smartphone. Brazilian teenager Marcel Fernandes Filho has just used the Fleksy keyboard on an iPhone 6 Plus to set the record.
We're actually pretty keen on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus design, but we know that there are plenty of people out there that disagree, and somewhat strongly. Those antenna lines aren't for everyone, and we can certainly understand why. Given some of the oddities that competitors have come out with in the past though, we're willing to give Apple a small, begrudging pass in that regard.
When proposing marriage, many men - and women - dream up original, romantic methods of popping that life-changing question. Such a special, memorable occasion deserves a little prior consideration, after all, and in order for everything to run smoothly, there's usually a certain expectation. If you're a hardcore geek, though, an expensive meal at the top of the Eiffel Tower just doesn't cut it, and so one smitten tech fan spent tens of thousands on 99 boxed iPhone 6 units, laying them out in a heart shape as an enclosed space from which to ask for his partner's hand in marriage. No expense being spared, he said his piece, but much to his dismay, the outcome wasn't as expected.
Lenovo has released its S90 Sisley smartphone, and it is impressively beautiful, with a construction that will confuse a few into mistaking it for an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.
One ambitious concept maker has crafted an interesting render of what a Google Glass-esque product might look like if Apple's design team was at the helm. It features, among other perks, a micro projector that beams content directly onto the lens, and while it seems far-fetched that such a slimline, stylish look could be achievable at this point in time, the designer suggests that Apple's own face computer could be something to consider in years to come.
Around this time last month, the tech. world was abuzz with reports that the iPhone 6 Plus was susceptible to accidental bending when placed in a pocket. Naturally, a furore ensued, with Apple fanboys and haters alike taking it in turns to exchange e-blows, but after a week or two of tit-for-tat, the whole "saga" died down. Still, with the original viral video having garnered a considerable number of views on YouTube, it's no surprise that we've since been treated to several other bend tests relating to a number of other handsets, and with Apple's iPad Air 2 having just been announced, it was only fitting that the new and improved slab was given the same treatment.
On the other side of the world, where we often meet ourselves, is an array of mobile app icons that can be brutally honest to you if you give it a chance. Icons help you quickly identify one app from the other, but what tells you what that app is really meant for, or what their existence means to you and your mobile device. As I eerily tread borderline 'cuckoo', I'll ask you if you believe in any stereotype characterizations for some of the famous smartphone apps out there.
