Compare iPhone 6s and LG G5 Models

The iPhone 6s is a popular device in the market today. Still Apple is not the only company that releases smartphone updates. Samsung and LG also have new models to offer. While we are waiting for iPhone 5se official release let’s compare iPhone 6s and LG G5 versions.

It is interesting that both gadgets have their pros and cons and there are several tings that make LG G5 phone even better than iPhone 6s. What could possibly put the iPhone in the shade? What could LG offer to users that Apple handset lacks?

iPhone 6s vs LG G5 Smartphones

LG G5 has been just introduced at MWC. It offers some features that are better than on iPhone 6s. For example, we can pay attention to screen, battery, cameras and processing power and will notice the difference.

It is not fair to compare the device that is half a year old and the brand new LG G5 still we should point to some details. Unlike the iPhone, LG G5 comes with front-facing and two rear cameras. This is a big improvement as the new 8Mp rear camera can go wider at 135 degrees and the 16Mp rear camera gets 78-degree lens. The iPhone 6s has two cameras at the moment.

G5 comes with 5.3-inch screen and iPhone 6s gets 4.7-inch display [the iPhone 6s Plus arrives with 5.5-inch screen and you should know the reasons of iPhone bricking to avoid this bug]. LG offers 2560×1440 with 554 ppi screen resolution and Apple’s iPhone 6s comes with 1334×750 with 326 ppi display.

G5 comes with 2800mAh battery that is removable while the iPhone 6s gets 1715mAh unit that can’t be removed by user. The LG offers 4GB of RAM with quad-core processor and Apple sells iPhone with 2GB of RAM and dual-core chip.

Both devices are available in gold, grey, silver and pink (rose gold) colors. This is similar but customers have a choice. While right now LG G5 could look better in different fields compared to iPhone 6s – Apple will unveil iPhone 7 later this year and this smartphone update would surely impress millions of users.

Is My iPhone Stolen Check / Identify Guide

A lot of customers buy used iPhones. With pre-owned devices it’s hard to know if everything is well with it [Apple is planning to release iPhone 7 in the fall]. Use is my iPhone stolen check to make sure everything is ok with your device. There are different ways how to do this. Let’s talk more about the check system.

There are users who iPhone was truly stolen. No matter how hard Apple is trying to protect the ‘fruit’ handsets from being stolen – thieves often pay attention to the iPhone because of the high demand for iPhones. Millions of Apple fans wish to own this smartphone but not everyone is eager to pay the full price for it.

How to Check if iPhone Is Stolen

Step 1. It’s better to run IMEI checker (network checker) before you purchase a used iPhone. Don’t pay any money until you are sure the device is clean.

Step 2. It’s best to meet with seller in person and ask to Erase All Content when you are nearby. This way you’ll be sure that the device is not stolen because you must enter passcode to restore, erase or unlock the iPhone.

Step 3. Big discounts should make you curious about the iPhone’s real owner. In case you have already purchased a phone you should check its status. Get the IMEI code through Settings – General – About menu [or by dialing *#06#] on the iPhone and use this IMEI number to check your gadget’s information via Activation Lock site. This is legal and the fastest way to learn about the phone.

It is best to check the IMEI code when you have the gadget in your hands. Distant checking via Skype is not the best idea because you can simply receive a different ‘stolen’ model afterwards.

Still it should arrive with some curious options and get enough power to compete with other smartphones in the market.

iPhone SE Design Looks Great in Renders

The new images of iPhone SE design have surfaced online. These renders promise an interesting smartphone from Apple that is believed to be released this spring. The famous Cupertino company is expected to present the 4-inch handset in the end of March.

iPhone SE release date is rumored for end of March – early April. Apple hasn’t confirmed the official presentation date and iPhone SE price and specs yet. We only see rumors and ideas on what to expect this year.

Most customers will see the new iPhone 7 in the fall. Many iPhone 5c owners who haven’t updated to iPhone 6S because of the high price are looking for a smaller 4-inch iPhone update that would bring an affordable and powerful model.

What can this SE upgrade look like? Different renders and so-called leaked images show us an Apple-like smartphone that is similar to iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s. This model reminds of a smaller iPhone 6 and it has antenna bands and cute curved edges. The gadget is rumored to get 4-inch screen. Still no one knows for sure how it would look like because all the images come from unknown sources.

Designers took advantage of different rumors and created renders of what iPhone SE design could be. This model might get colorful options like iPhone 5c [do you know that AT&T pays iPhone users for switching carriers?]. It could get 12Mp camera with a protrusion on the back [many users don’t like this design but iPhone 6 that has similar back is extremely popular and sold very well].

We don’t know if iPhone SE really exists and is to be launched this March – April or not. Apple says nothing about all the rumors and its March event is still under question.

The ‘fruit’ giant even offered a support document that describes the problem and explains how to fix it. Users who installed the update offered by Apple assured that their Ethernet port refused to work. The same situation was on some iMac and MacBook models. Users couldn’t understand why the software blacklisted driver but this caused Enternet connectivity to quit working.

Apple Confirms Long-Awaited Apple March 21st Event

What to expect from Apple in 2016. Millions of users who have become Apple fans can’t wait to see new models and software updates. Right now the company is testing iOS 9.3 beta and this upgrade should follow soon along with other interesting gadgets. The rumored Apple March event has been confirmed.

The Cupertino-based giant has confirmed Apple March 21 event but said nothing about what we should expect this year. Let’s remember all the rumors that we’ve already heard.

The famous iPhone maker is believed to launch iPhone SE model. This phone will be the 4-inch model that should be similar to iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 [not current powerful iPhone 6s]. This powerful device [rumors mention A9 processor, Hey Siri option, high-resolutio camera and other features] will be cheaper than the current iPhone 6s and this is one of the reasons why users can’t wait to see its presentation.

The iOS company could also present 9.7-inch iPad Pro that would remind of iPad Air 3, get the iPad Pro similar features along with A9X chip, more RAM and other options. This model should also support Apple Pencil and get the opportunity to record 4K videos.

Will Apple present Apple Watch 2? We don’t know about the second gen smartwatch update but rumors promise Apple Watch bands launch. There are reports about the Apple Watch 2 release in the fall alongside iPhone 7 model still only March 21 will unveil all the secrets and provide more details about what to expect from the company this year.

New Leaked Images Show iPhone 7 Plus Camera

While Apple has confirmed March 21st event which could unveil iPhone SE model – millions of users are curious about iPhone 7 specs. This next smartphone model could be officially presented in the fall. What features could it get?

Some of the iPhone 7 Plus rumors promise that at least iPhone 7 Plus version could get the dual-camera module. This part is believed to appear on some new images. The handset would be redesigned and get large screen. If iPhone 7 camera get dual-camera option – this version would differ from iPhone 7. The situation could remind of iPhone 6 / 6 Plus models.

We should note that all these rumors are not confirmed and the leaked images can’t verify anything right now. We’ve seen some other images that point to the big camera update. Could it really mean that Apple is planning big and interesting changes in the fall?

The spring iPhone launch won’t be a major update. Of course, this device would offer some new features and Apple would do everything possible to make this affordable [as rumored] model extremely popular. As for the iPhone 7 upgrade – this should be a big update and all users who didn’t buy iPhone 6s will be happy to update to iPhone 7 with dual camera. Thus rumors and multiple iPhone 7 concepts offered by designers promise an interesting fall release.

Would you enjoy updating to a new generation handset this fall if it is better than the current iPhone 6s or not?

Will Apple Release iPhone Pro This Fall?

Could Apple give its new 2016 smartphones new name? There are iPhone 7 rumors that hint to an interesting change – the next gadget we’ll see this fall could be named iPhone Pro [iPad Pro was released recently]. By the way, the spring 4-inch iPhone could also get a new name iPhone SE. Is this for real?

Apple is not a fan of radical changes. The company prefers introducing minor updates as its fans are looking for ‘fruit’ gadget and don’t want to see ‘android’ surprise instead. The 2016 could be the year for new changes. Apple is believed to soon launch iPhone SE, 4-inch handset that should be powerful and cheaper than other iOS smartphones. The iPhone 7 release is expected sometimes in September or October and there are reports that point to iPhone Pro name.

There are many rumors, predictions and ideas about upcoming Apple phones. The company hasn’t confirmed anything yet. It says nothing about iPhone SE or iPhone Pro launch. We can also take guesses and wait for the Cupertino-based giant to officially present 2016 upgrades.

Some experts even think Apple could present 4 different smartphones this year including iPhone 7 with cool features. Still Apple never launched more than 2 models at once so we doubt the company could enjoy such major changes. Besides the sales of iPhone 6s are not a high as iPhone 6 sales were a year ago. Can the famous company take such risks and bring four handsets to the market within the same year?

What do you think about the possibility of launching iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone Pro in 2016? Would you agree to purchase the 4 gadgets at once?
