How to Call Emergency Services on iPhone with Siri

Siri emergency call service can be very important for iPhone 6 and future iPhone 6S users. Sometimes your battery is dead or you have no service available – you can still use Siri and make it place the call for you. You just need to find any charging source and connect to it to use your Apple smartphone and make it come to your rescue.

You’ll need to activate your personal assistant with ‘Hey Siri’ option. There is no need to hold the handset in your hands. However remember to plug it into your car or somewhere else since without power your gadget will not work unfortunately.

How to Call Emergency Services on iPhone

Step 1. Hold down your Home button if you have the gadget in your hands to activate Siri. If the Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T or Sprint iPhone is near you, use “Hey Siri” option to do the same thing.

Step 2. Use one of the phrases below in order to call your emergency service:

*Call the Police or Call the Cops will make Siri dial the Police for you

*Phone 911 or Call 911 will make your smartphone dial the emergency line if you are in the U.S. now

*Call Emergency Services or Phone Emergency Services will also make Siri dial the special lines for you depending on what country are you in at the moment

If you don’t know the emergency line phone number you can always say ‘Dial 911’ and Apple’s assistant should find the correct contact and dial it for you. Remember that all these services require you being connected to cellular network.

You can always cancel your phone call within the next 5 seconds. But don’t place such calls without need. They should only be used in emergency situations.

24 Karat Gold iPhone 6S Price and Early Registration

Are you excited about the new lineup of Apple smartphones? Potential customers who wish to purchase the iPhone 6S gold edition can already register their interest in this expensive model. Apple doesn’t unveil much information about its new generation handsets however some consumers can’t wait and are more than eager to add their names to the waiting list.

What will iPhone 6S gold price in India and U.S. be? This is the question some users might ask. The price difference in gold edition smartphones is always pretty huge. For example, one British company was offering the 24 karat gold iPhone 6 model with diamonds for nearly $3.5 million. The cost very much depends on the firm that is customizing handsets.

While 24 karat gold iPhone 6S price is not announced yet, there are companies that let potential consumers to pre-register for their customized gadget with gold finish. Goldgenie is one of the firms that is offering such an option even before the 6s version is officially announced by Apple. Just as always, it is possible to select between rose gold, 24 karat gold and platinum iPhone finishes. The price would be around $3 million per device.

Apple is supposed to unveil next phones on September 9th. Official pre-orders should be taken beginning on September 11th and the iPhone 6s public release date should be September 18th if all the numerous rumors from China, Germany and France are real.

The “S” line will get iOS 9 pre-installed on them. This firmware is not jailbreakable at the moment since Apple patched holes in iOS 8.4.1 firmware code still hackers will continue searching for new exploits and finding more ways for untethering iOS 9 platform once Apple launches it to public.

It is curious that Goldgenie company stops taking pre-registrations for Gold edition phones on August 31st. Does it mean Apple would introduce iPhone 6s earlier than September 9th or not? We don’t know anything for sure yet.

Apple Or Samsung? The New Case in the Court

It’s not a secret that there are iPhone fans, Samsung Galaxy fans and other groups of customers who like particular brand and don’t like its rivals. The similar situation happens between the famous companies that often file lawsuits against each other.

The news about Samsung vs Apple lawsuit is not surprising any more. The two smartphone creators have several cases in U.S. courts. Apple believes that its iPhone design is being copied by other companies. Other companies are sure that iPhone design patent is invalid and cannot be the design owned by Apple only because the forms of the handsets are pretty much alike.

Samsung has plans to appeal in the American Supreme Court since U.S. Appeals court has rejected the company’s appeal for re-examination of the case. The hearing might take place sometime by November.
Samsung was told to pay Apple millions of dollars because of the patent violations. At the same time, according to the USPTO, the design patent under the name D’677 for the Apple handset iPhone is invalid.

This patent might change the case and Samsung hopes to prove that it doesn’t violate the ‘fruit’ company’s patent technologies when it comes to innovations and high-tech industry. Samsung has hopes to take up the matter with the U.S. Supreme Court and require re-examination once again. The company is being supported by other firms such as Google, Dell and Facebook.

It’s not clear if the Court agrees to take up the case with iPhone design patent or not. It has time to decide till June 2016.

However there won’t be major changes in design and overall feel of the iDevice compared to the current gen iPhone 6 / 6 Plus.

French and German carriers leaked some details about the new phone launch. Their databases prove that Apple should announce iPhone 6s on September 9th, start taking pre-orders on September 11th and officially release the next gen smartphones on September 18th.

Apple hasn’t confirmed anything yet. Carriers could be making their plans based on rumors however the company could change everything the very last moment to surprise consumers. Even though the dates might line up with everything we’ve heard about “s” lineup – you don’t have to rely on this information.

Keep waiting for Apple to confirm everything soon and announce the public launch and pre-orders date as well as the new iPhone names for 2015. Even if some dates change there won’t be major changes and we should expect to see the gadget update sometime in September.

iPhone 6S Specs and Details Confirmed by China Telecom Rep

Will iPhone 6S China model get pink version or not? There were rumors about the new pink color for the “S” lineup of the upcoming Apple smartphones and the first iPhone 6S specs were confirmed by China Telecom representative weeks before the official public launch of this new generation handset.

There is no information about iPhone 6S China price. Still unknown sources at China Telecom have reportedly confirmed some rumors about this ‘fruit’ device before the Cupertino-based giant reveals more information about it. If you wished to get a pink iPhone in hands you’ll be sad to hear that there won’t be such models this year.

China Telecom iPhone 6s details promise no pink iDevices in 2015. The release date is supposed to be on September 18-25 and the two new gadgets, iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 6S, are believed to get the Force Touch technology, improved A9 chip, better camera and 2GB of RAM.

All these specs were already mentioned by numerous sources. China Telecom mobile operator will most likely offer iPhone 6S lineup this fall. Still the confirmations are not official so we cannot trust everything we hear about the new iOS phone before we hear what Apple has to say about its products.

This year Apple might release three different handsets. iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are rumored to be launched in mid September and iPhone 6c [affordable colorful lineup similar to iPhone 5c] could follow the two other versions later on. There still might be pink color option at least on the ‘c’ line.

It’s really unlikely for Apple to share upcoming phone details with mobile operators from different countries across the globe. The await is nearly over and a lot of anonymous sources would offer more ‘details’ about this device until the official introduction takes place in the U.S.

iPhone AT&T Foundation Scholarships Grant $50,000 to GSU

AT&T scholarship 2015 program is a useful program this U.S. carrier is doing every year.

According to experts, those students who get scholarship and grants financial support show better results and reach higher success. They prove that they deserve this financial aid and working even harder to improve their rates of success.

GSU or Grambling State University is a public institution AT&T supports. AT&T is the second biggest carrier in the United States that is believed to throttle its customers and yet it also supports students by offering them scholarships.

iPhone 6c Release Date Rumors

The next budget iPhone model price is not known and it’s hard to compare its price to the previous colorful iPhone 5c versions. Analysts predict iPhone 6c release date for the end of 2015. Apple should unveil iPhone 6S and 6S Plus smartphones first in the fall and might offer the next update in the fourth quarter.

Reports assure that the Cupertino giant is indeed creating the low cost version. iPhone 6c rumors come from China. At first not many people believed that Apple could release three new models of phones this year but now more users start to think that this could be possible. Why? Apple’s new “S” line won’t be selling as hot as iPhone 6 last year [according to rumors] so the company might prefer unveiling another choice for customers to increase revenue.

Adding another model to its sales line should not be a problem for a well-known and extremely popular company. Apple is known across the world and its brand is highly popular these days. Simplicity and elegance of the ‘fruit’ products guarantees high sales even when users expect more than the company actually offers.

You’ll be able to unlock iPhone 6c from any carrier once this model is officially launched. It should be running iOS 9 just like other 2015 gadgets introduced by Apple. But no one can tell you when exactly this low cost model will appear on the shelves.

All potential Apple customers are now waiting for the big fall release of the “S” lineup which is rumored to get Force Touch option along with other features. This won’t be a major upgrade compared to the previous year release still different carriers, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, are already offering their deals and new data plans along with attractive upgrade options to users in hopes to keep current and get new subscribers.
