Verizon iPhone news are mostly related to the carrier’s data plans and deals, especially since Apple is about to release the new lineup of its well-known and highly demanded smartphones. Still not all the news about the iPhone. Verizon has big changes coming soon as well.

The company is planning to offer Verizon logo update to subscribers. Users are used to the current image with a stylized letter ‘Z’ however the mobile operator wants to add some changes and it should present them this or next week.

Are you locked to Verizon? While you can still order factory iPhone 6 Verizon unlock and service for other Apple handset models, get ready that you’ll see a new logo in September. There is one interesting photo that is believed to be the leaked carrier’s logo so you can get an idea what to expect and what to know as Verizon in the United States.

The logo was created by Pentagram, according to the U.S. iPhone network. The previous logo was designed 15 years ago by Landor Associates. It happened when Verizon was only created since this network is the merging result of GTE Corp. + Bell Atlantic.

There is no stylized ‘Z’ so the changes are noticeable. The checkmark iPhone users are so used it is now smaller. Its position in the logo has changed. Now it can be seen at the end of the image. The company is also using a new font style.

P.S. Verizon actually confirmed this logo. So you can now see it on the carrier’s site and services. Some stores and websites will bring the update sooner or later since it is impossible to change everything within seconds. The carrier is one of the major networks in the U.S. so its logo is used in different places where you might notice the old image for a while.

Hidden iOS 9 Features List

You can watch most iOS 9 features on YouTube channel as different experts and devs reviewed most of them or even all of them. We are about to speak about those hidden options iPhone and iPad owners will truly care about this September or in the future.

Firstly, Apple should introduce special battery saving mode. This is a great addition to the iDevice owner who wants to stay in touch and doesn’t like it when his battery life suddenly dies. The mode will automatically turn off your iPhone screen when you put it face down on the surface. Besides, there is Low Power option that can conserve your power and give you more time for using the iPhone when there is no option to charge it soon.

Secondly, the new iOS 9 version will come with iCloud Drive and you’ll be able to access it through Settings – iCloud menu where you will find iCloud Drive option. It’s hidden by default.

Thirdly, Apple allows users searching through Settings and across the firmware. This is a wonderful feature that was absent in iOS 8 and earlier firmware versions.

Hidden iOS 9 features include the scrubber in the Photos application which makes it possible to flip through images right in the camera roll, back to app / back to search feature, Shift key that controls your keyboard characters for typing [turn it on and you will see caps, turn it off and you will see all lower-case characters], redesigned app switcher and Siri. It will become possible to attach files to your Mail right from iCloud Drive and use side switch option for muting and locking your screen on iOS 9.

iPhone 6S Plus Force Touch Leaks

Apple will soon release the new iPhone “S” lineup. There are a lot of rumors and leaked images of the upcoming handsets. For example, the latest iPhone 6s Force Touch leakage shows the display of the future smartphone with the built-in new technology.

Would you like to see the 2015 iPhone 6s Plus Force Touch image? The photos don’t show the assembled device. Instead, you can only see the display of what is expected to be the new generation Apple handset. There are only two images you can take a look at however they give an idea what the Cupertino-based giant has on its mind for the fall.

What Force Touch iPhone means to users? This shouldn’t be the same technology as used in the Watch or Mac models. Apple is rumored to modify it for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus and this is one of the reasons why experts don’t expect high iPhone sales in the end of 2015 and early 2016.

Customers like to upgrade their smartphones to the most recent generation devices however they are not looking for just Force Touch update along with iOS 9 changes. They want more features and major changes like it was with iPhone 6 compared to iPhone 5S.

If you pay attention at the leaked images you will notice the LCD panel which was absent in the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus versions. This is the main difference between the looks of the previous and future generation handsets.

Apple Watch coming to India news has been around for a while and it finally looks like this country is going to present the popular product on its shelves soon.

At the same time, the ‘fruit’ giant is about to unveil the new lineup of iPhones and upcoming iOS 9 firmware version that has been tested the whole summer.

T Mobile Data Throttling Plans Announced for Heavy iPhone Users

Are you one of the heavy data users and is your choice T-Mobile as iPhone carrier? Beware since this mobile operator wants to follow the steps of AT&T and start T-Mobile data throttle program. The company will haunt only a number of users and you might be out of this game enjoying your plan and never being throttled.

According to John Legere, T-Mobile is going to punish network abusers. Some users are believed to violate the carrier’s terms and conditions and find ways to overcome the limit set by the mobile operator. As noted by Legere, T Mobile data throttling will affect a small group of iPhone and other phone owners who don’t want to purchase more LTE tethering data and instead bypass the limits.

T-Mobile offers free 7GB of LTE data for its 4G LTE data plans. Once T-Mobile iPhone user reaches the limit his speed is slowed unless more data is purchased directly from the U.S. network. There are holes in this plan and some consumers find a way out of the situation.

How can you bypass T-Mobile LTE data limit? As noted by Legere, some individuals root their iPhones through different applications or write special codes to mask how much tethering data they are using. This is done by different smartphone owners, not only Apple iPhone fans.

The percent of such abusers is extremely low but T-Mobile is still going to fight with such users and throttle their data speeds. Some manage to get around 2TB of data per month by bypassing the limits.

The carrier promises to go after every user who is tricking the system and masking his or her tethering data usage within the month. Offenders will be warned by the company and if they even do the same thing again – T-Mobile is going to limit their 4G LTE data plan.
