6 Reasons Why People buy iPhone

iPhones have been the mark of achievement, simply owning an iPhone is a matter of pride to many people. If you truly love something, the price is never an issue, same story here with the iPhone users. Apple has one of the largest base of loyal users, most of which are based solely on the iPhone. Why is it so? Why do people love their iPhones so much? Let’s point out some obvious things that make iPhone better:

Premium Build:

It’s undeniable that iPhones have one of the best build quality compared to any other high-end smartphones out there. The comfort you feel while using it and the premiumness you feel while holding it is totally beyond par. Apple claims only the best materials are used while manufacturing the iPhone, despite the “bend gate” we witnessed with the iPhone 6, but nonetheless, the problem has been solved and the frame of iPhone has been made stronger than ever making it elegant and sturdy. Simply, iPhones are one of the most beautiful devices out there.

Software Upgrades:

if you’re an android user, you already know how much frustrating it is to wait for Android updates for your device and on most of the cases, despite few security updates your device never really gets any software update to the latest version of Android. But that’s not the case with iPhones, all of the iPhones receive the updates at the same time and the updates are consistent as well. You always get to experience the new changes in the software and the bugs are fixed faster. The latest update of iOS 10 supports up to iPhone 5 which was released in 2012. It is simply amazing for how long you get the update for your iPhone.

Simplicity:

iPhone was made popular in the first place because of its simplicity. Everything you need is right on the home screen or no further than 2 or 3 touches away. The phone has just a single home button, nothing fancy like a separate, back and recent buttons. You can unlock your device, get to home, view recent apps and make the window accessible all with the single button. The quick toggle from the bottom is real handy and the notifications are much more interactive. iOS really take minimalism to a whole new level. More than anything, iPhone is a utilitarian device, all you want to do is get the things done without much of any complications.

Performance:

The performance was never an issue with the iPhone, as both the hardware and software are designed by Apple, they sync very well. Even the lightest resource can handle the iOS properly, so, not until recently, iPhones always had the clock speeds and RAM of what we considered as a midtier in Android devices. Even now, the latest iPhones come with just 2 or 3GB of RAM while the Android counterparts have already started flaunting 8GB of RAM. Chips used in iPhones are getting powerful year by year, they can easily handle anything thrown at it without missing a beat and most importantly they are much more power efficient.

Resell Value:

You see the shiny new Jet Black iPhone 7 and want it so bad, but it hasn’t been a year since you’ve purchased the iPhone 6s. Well, there’s nothing to worry about, if your phone is in good condition, you get a reasonably good amount of price while reselling your device and maybe invest in a new one. And if you had an Android device, the story would’ve been much different, after a year or so you get almost half the price of what you paid for the device.

Better App Environment:

If you’ve used both android and iOS, you know exactly what I’m talking about. The apps on iOS are much more curated than the Android counterparts. iOS has better app environment and are less sluggish and further feature rich. Most of the popular apps first get developed on iOS and later shifted to Android. Prisma is a relevant example.The layout and functionality of the app overall on iOS are much better and intuitive.

Overcharging: Does it destroy your smartphone’s battery?

If you change your phone every two years or so, you don’t need to worry about the topic I am going to discuss.

Many of us change our smartphones every now and then, and when we do this, we don’t really notice the battery’s decline. But if we use it for a little longer, our battery capacity decreases exponentially.

Some of us think that leaving our phone charging overnight will damage our battery while others think it is okay to leave them charging overnight. However, it actually depends on circumstances you’re leaving your phone in.

But, I have to mention one thing. Smartphones are equipped with chips that can protect devices from excess charging once they are fully charged. So, overcharging can’t really harm your devices, unless under certain circumstances.

I have to mention that most smartphones make use of a technology that makes battery accept current faster. Such technology allows power to pulse into the battery in specific modulations, increasing the speed at which the lithium ions in the battery travel from one side to the other, causing the battery to charge quicker.

The same technology, however, tends to slowly damage the battery via chemical actions. Basically, because of this fast charging, our battery’s condition deteriorates. Note that fast charging here doesn’t refer to the Quick charging capabilities phones have. They simply refer to your battery charging faster than usual. You should also keep your phone’s temperature in mind. Explaining smartphones and their heating, Apple says, “Your device is designed to perform well in a wide range of ambient temperatures, with 62° to 72° F (16° to 22° C) as the ideal comfort zone. It’s especially important to avoid exposing your device to ambient temperatures higher than 95° F (35° C), which can permanently damage battery capacity”.

So how can you stop the deterioration of your battery? It’s simple actually. If your original charger charges your battery faster, use another charger that will charge it slower. Or think of it this way, if you use your iPhone’s charger to charge your iPad, your iPad will charge slowly. Charging your electronics this way could actually save your battery’s life. Furthermore, keep your phone’s temperature in check. Don’t let them overheat. This will make sure that your phone’s battery doesn’t go downhill.

Finally, if you change your device every two years, you need not worry about this because batteries start showing signs of wearing only after two years.

Newly replaced Samsung Galaxy Note 7 still having battery problems

Samsung had recalled the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 for its battery woes earlier this month. Since then, the company has started to replace the devices that have been sent back. But, it looks as though the problems of the Galaxy Note 7’s battery will still exist in the new devices.

According to the South Korean TV network YTN, customers are facing new battery problems in their replaced devices. YTN has reported that the new Galaxy Note 7 devices are overheating and quickly losing their battery power even when charged.

However, these cases have been reported only in South Korea until now. Samsung had started dispatching the replaced Note 7 in the country since September 19.

A beast of a device, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is facing many problems since its release.

A user in Korea claims that he went out with his Note 7’s battery at 90%. But in a short period of time, the battery percentage went down quickly to 50% and overheated. Similarly, in a more serious claim, another user says that his Galaxy Note 7’s battery is draining at the rate of 1% per second, even when the device is being charged. He also mentions that his phone’s battery never reaches 10% even when he leaves it plugged in all night.

When asked about the issue, a Samsung spokesman told the Wall Street Journal that the issue is “completely unrelated to batteries”. He also added that the incidents are isolated cases and Samsung are conducting close examinations.

Samsung recently stated that it has already replaced almost 500,000 Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in the USA alone. So if any users are facing these problems, they will come forward to complain about it.

Huawei P9 Lite with 8MP Selfie Snapper Launched in Nepal

Huawei Mobile Nepal has unveiled the affordable variant of its latest flagship Huawei P9, the Huawei P9 Lite in Nepal. The company has priced the phone at Rs. 31,999 and is available for purchase from various Huawei outlets all across the nation.

The Huawei P9 Lite takes advantage of the Huawei P9 design with a premium look and feel — all thanks to a metal frame. It has a 5.2-inch 1080P IPS panel like the Huawei P9, but it’s slightly dim and more reflective than the P9. The screen also lacks scratch-resistant glass which means a screen protector is highly recommended. The phone is powered by Huawei’s in-house Kirin 650 SoC which comes with a four cortex A53 cores running at 2Ghz and four cortex A53 cores running at 1.7Ghz. The graphics is provided by a Mali-T830 MP2 GPU which provides decent gaming performance in low to medium settings.

As far as storage is concerned, the Huawei P9 Lite that’s launching in Nepal has 3GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage which can be expanded via microSD card upto 128GB (uses SIM2). Unlike the Huawei P9 that utilises dual camera, the Huawei P9 Lite sports 13 megapixels Sony IMX 214 sensor which in fact is the same sensor found in the OnePlus One, Xioami Mi4 and Obi SF1. If it’s anything like the cameras of the abovementioned phones, you should expect excellent performance from the rear camera. Upfront, the Huawei P9 houses an 8MP front camera.

Like with almost all the recently launched Huawei phones, the Huawei P9 Lite also comes with a best-in-class fingerprint sensor that the company claims will unlock the phone in less than 0.2 seconds. Connectivity wise, it has dual hybrid SIM with 4G LTE, dual band Wi-Fi b/g/n (no ac), Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, NFC, and microUSB. Powering the device is a non-removable 3,000mAh battery that lacks fast charging capabilities.
