Tag: iPhone 6S

Apple fans from India get a surprise from the Cupertino company. Soon after the official release of the new gen smartphones this fall – Apple offers iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 6s discount in India [some iOS 8 and 9 apps were offered with discount in India as well] to local customers. You can surely get an earlier handset model from the ‘fruit’ giant with a bigger discount but the deal is still interesting and worth checking out.

Different experts think that the 6s lineup can increase Apple sales 2-3 times compared to the previous generation iPhone 6 / 6 Plus. The discounts might help achieving this as well. If you are planning to buy iPhone 6s in India it is definitely better to wait for the discounts and big deals. Right now the famous iPhone creator is offering up to Rs. 6,000 off its ‘s’ lineup.

Customers who are going to buy iPhone 6s online in India are able to choose different colors and storage capacity of iPhone 6s / 6s Plus since the deal supports all colors / storage options for the two smartphones.

It is only possible to get the discount if you purchase the new phones online. You can get it from Amazon India or Snapdeal stores. Local Apple offline resellers don’t offer the discount so you’ll have to pay Rs. 6,000 more if you choose to get the iPhone in the physical store and not online.

The prices start from Rs. 55,999 on iPhone 6s and from Rs. 65,999 on iPhone 6s Plus now. They used to be Rs. 62,000 and Rs. 72,000 respectively. This is the cost of the 16GB models. You’ll have to pay more for bigger storage options but the discount is still available on them as well.

Usually Apple starts to offer discounts months after the official launch however this year the company changed its mind and brings the discount for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus just a few weeks after the release.

Users who’ll need to enroll in iPhone 6s repair program should know that some Apple Stores will provide loaners for iPhone 6 and 6s gadgets [the new iPhone 6s sold out in South Korea in just 5 minutes] that require off-site repair. This should make the whole procedure long-lasting. The introduction of the new option should shorten the wait times for customers who have some problems.

The 2015 iPhone models are purchased for a number of reasons [if you have issues with WiFi Assist not working here is how to fix it]. Touch screen and 3D touch is one of them. However some users report iPhone 6s Touch screen not working once in a while. Such random freeze can make you mad because you paid money to get a working and fast responsive touch action.

Since the problem happens randomly you might want to get acquainted with all the methods to use them when you are having troubles with your newest gen device.

Unresponsive Touch Screen Fix for iPhone 6s / 6s Plus

Method 1.

The first think you might wanna try is resetting the settings on your iDevice. At least you’ll know if you have to try something else later on if this doesn’t help. Choose Settings if you can and go to General menu – Reset. You should press on the Reset All Settings option if your unresponsive touch screen lets you do so. Wait for the iPhone 6s to reboot.

Note that you’ll have to reconfigure all your settings [for Touch ID, WiFi, passcode etc.] afterwards since they will return to default after this.

You can also solve the unresponsive iPhone 6s screen by hard rebooting [if you want to buy iPhone 6s you can sell your older iPhone model]. Press on Sleep / Wake button along with Home button and wait till you see Apple icon before you release the two buttons. Such method helps in most extreme situations with your iDevice.

The upcoming iPhone 6s South Korea release date only warms up the high demand for the new gadget by local customers. This country set up its own record on how quick iPhone 6s sold out can be expected. Consumers were so willing to purchase the new generation Apple handsets that they pre-ordered all available devices in half an hour.

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus sold out phenomenon is impressive. While the release of iPhone 6s in India turned out to be unenthusiastic – the situation is completely opposite in South Korea when the new-gen smartphones haven’t officially arrived yet. They were only available for pre-orders and sold out in 5-30 minutes.

As reports state, one local iPhone 6s South Korea KT carrier received ten thousand pre-orders within the first minute! The KT network had to close down its pre-orders within 10 minutes from the moment they went live becaused the company received 50,000 pre-orders from consumers. Another company, LG Uplus, was forced to stop taking pre-orders within 5 minutes due to extremely high demand from users. This firm however doesn’t share the exact number of orders it received.

Another mobile operator SK Telecom left pre-orders live for 30 minutes. It doesn’t report the number of orders taken within half an hour but experts think the number could reach 50,000 just like with KT carrier.

It is worth to note that consumers were aware of the pre-order date and waiting impatiently for it. The original kickoff of iPhone 6s pre-orders in South Korea was planned for the past week however it was delayed. The results are still overwhelming. Users who didn’t get a chance to pre-order their smartphone will be able to buy it officially on October 23rd.

Have you already purchased the new iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus? It is possible to easily identify your A9 processor manufacture (Samsung or TSMC) using a simple guide we shared earlier. Once you know the company that manufactured your chip you can also compare Samsung and TSMC A9 chip to learn which one is faster and better.

Firstly, let’s not that the two processors are different from each other. They are available in two different sizes [here are more iPhone 6s specs]. The A9 chip comparison shows that Samsung creates smaller chips than processors manufactured by TSMC company. In other words, your iPhone 6s has either smaller A9 chip by Samsung or bigger A9 processor by TSMC.

Secondly, A9 chip Samsung vs TSMC comparison shows that it is hard to predict which chip size your iPhone model gets as both iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus arrive with TSMC or Samsung parts.

It looks like the size of the chip doesn’t affect the gadget’s performance that much. However there is a huge difference in the two products. According to reports and tests, the A9 processor can influence your battery performance and life.

TSMC vs Samsung A9 Processor

Users who performed benchmarks of iPhone 6s / 6s Plus found one interesting detail. The phones that get TSMC bigger chip also getmore battery life. The tests show that Samsung A9 chip causes the battery life last up to two hours less than the same models that get TSMC A9 model.

Customers who are only looking for the ‘s’ Apple smartphone might want to purchase the version with the chip that extends the battery life by up to two hours. The tests were performed by different users and it is curious that such a huge difference exists.

When you come to the Apple Store to get the new phone you might want to try and figure out the A9 manufacturer before you make your purchase.

A lot of users have already got the most recent smartphone from Apple. The company offered iPhone 6s release [have you tried to identify your iPhone 6s A9 chip?] on September 25th and if you have also purchased this new generation device – learn about iPhone 6s Live Photos feature that makes it possible to create still images from your live photographs.

It is pretty fun to capture still image with iPhone Live Photos [it is also possible to simply disable Live Photos feature on iPhone 6s] however not everyone understands how exactly this works. When you take a Live picture your camera records for 3 seconds and the image can be animated as a result. If you would like to turn this .MOV file into a still picture you are able to do so. We have a short guide that should be helpful.

How to Turn Live Photos into Still Images on iPhone 6s

Step 1. Launch your Photos program on the iPhone 6s.

Step 2. Click on the Live Photo. Choose the photograph that you wish to turn into a normal image. Please keep in mind that you are able to switch between live and still images at anytime. These fun options work great as well as other impressive iOS 9 features Apple introduced this fall.

Step 3. You should now click on Edit option.

Step 4. There is an icon of ringed circles you want to use. It turns blue each time you make Live Photo active. When you click on this icon its color will change to gray and this means you have successfully turned your live image into a regular one.

Step 5. Remember to press on Done option to confirm the changes on the iPhone 6s [Apple hopes to set up a new sales record by selling its ‘s’ lineup of handsets this year].

Step 6. The still image will be saved to Photos and you can share it with your friends just like with live photographs.

Hopefully you enjoyed learning how to convert any live photo taken with iPhone 6s or 6s Plus into the regular still photograph.
