iPhone SE Battery Life Lasts Longer Than Other iPhone Batteries

Apple updated its iPhone lineup this spring. The company released the 4-inch smartphone. Many potential customers wonder how iPhone SE battery performs and if it lasts longer than the battery of other smartphones.

It seems that the smaller 4-inch iPhone SE has a better battery which outlasts some popular handsets. For example, reports assure that iPhone SE battery can outperform Samsung Galaxy S7 and iPhone 6s. This is good news for ‘fruit’ fans although the new gadget doesn’t have all the iPhone 6s features and options.

iPhone 6s vs iPhone SE battery One Stress test showed that the smaller iPhone can last for 10 hours. At the same time Apple flagship iPhone 6s can only last for 8 hours similar to Samsung Galaxy S7 device [this gadget lasts for about 7 hours]. Getting a new iPhone with longer battery life might be a cool solution. Surely, this phone can’t boast all the coolest specs and options but it can last longer.

A lot of Apple customers were hoping that the company would offer better battery one day. It seems to happen with the iPhone SE specs. This could be understood since the 4-inch iPhone gets lower resolution screen of 1136 x 640 and has no 3D Touch option.

The new Apple device’s price starts at $399. To compare, the bigger iPhone 6s with 1334 x 750 resolution display costs at least $250 more than the 2016 iPhone SE model.

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.

Find New iPhone SE Leaked Pics That Could Be Real or Fake

Would you like to see photos of iPhone SE before Apple introduces this long-awaited 4-inch smartphone next week? It seems that someone shared the images of this upcoming handset with us.

Still remember that so-called iPhone SE leaked pics could be either real or fake. The official event with the gadget’s introduction is planned for March 21st. While there are still a few days till the public event – view iPhone SE images and imagine this smartphone.

There were several ‘leaked’ photos of the new handset. The new images also arrive from China like most other photos did. Does Shenzhen really know hat to expect this spring from the Cupertino-based giant or not? The latest pics show the mock-up of the device that has been rumored for months.

The iPhone SE reminds of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6. It won’t be as powerful as iPhone 6s and it will definitely lack many popular features created specifically for the 2015 ‘s’ lineup. Still it should arrive with some curious options and get enough power to compete with other smartphones in the market.

Apple is said to create iPhone SE models mostly for Indian and Chinese markets where customers wish to own the ‘fruit’ gadget but are not eager to pay for the iPhone 6s and find it expensive.

We’ll know all the truth pretty soon. The March Event is just around the corner. It will provide all the details about the new 4-inch iPhone and other iOS devices we should see in March – April.

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.

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?

Users Can Hack iPhone Touch ID with Play-Doh

Sometimes users who find or purchased a used iPhone and upgrade to iOS 9 have an issue [by the way Apple March event is confirmed for March 21st]. They are willing to find a way how to hack iPhone Touch ID and access the device without making it a brick. Touch ID has been introduced by Apple to secure the gadgets and not allow third-party users access, delete, restore the iPhone.

Touch ID is mainly aimed at thieves. But there are situations when ordinary users get in trouble with buying pre-owned Apple smartphones and they want to know how to cheat Touch ID. It seems that even kids might perform this task if they have Play-Doh toy.

The Chinese group of hackers showed how to unlock iPhone and bypass Touch ID security measure with Play-Doh. Yes, you are not mistaken. Using popular Play-Doh you could be able to unlock the device. You might need a couple of tries to succeed but this method is successful if you try hard.

There were users who managed to unlock iPhone with different body parts still the fact that the same thing can be done with Play-Doh can’t make everyone happy because thieves could potentially use the same method.

Still this is only theory. Everything is not that simple in reality. Creating a fingerprint from Play-Doh also requires making a cast of finger created in dental paste. Simple Play-Doh won’t help you. The hack is still curious but potential thieves will have to get your fingerprint’s dental paste cast before they can make the Play-Doh fingerprint to hack your iPhone.

You see that it’s not that simple. Apple said nothing about this hack yet.
