iPhone 6s battery failure explained by Apple!

Recently, Apple’s iPhone 6s has been back in the spotlight again. However, this time it was not a positive note: quite a few iPhones have been diagnosed as having defective batteries. Because of the iPhone 6s battery failure, these devices would shut down automatically even if the battery life is still left. The devices would then need to be plugged in to use normally. Apple, having been notified of the problem, identified the issue (the batteries), and offered an exchange program. Now, the company has given the explanation as to why these batteries are acting up.

Apple has identified that the problems were with the iPhone 6s devices that were manufactured between September and October 2015. The issue here is that, those devices have a battery component that were exposed to controlled ambient air for longer than normal, before being assembled into the whole battery. This caused the battery to degrade faster, and lead to unexpected shutdowns. However, Apple stressed that this will not cause any safety concerns for customers.

Apple further explained that the shutting is not because of the battery, but due to a special mechanics of the iPhone to shut down under certain conditions. In other words, the shutdowns are intentional, to protect your device. The iPhone 6s is working properly, only the battery doesn’t. This is different from the case of Galaxy Note 7, where the battery didn’t work, and but the device did not shut down and ignite instead, causing explosions. Apple stated again that the shutdowns are just minor inconveniences, and that customers can exchange the battery if they are eligible.

iPhone 6s battery failure: Not a big deal!

So, if your iPhone 6s has been shutting down a lot lately, you don’t have to worry, it’s not dangerous. However, you should check if your phone is assembled between September and October 2015. If yes, you are eligible for free battery exchange. Just come down to any Apple retail store to ask.

iPhone is a tough rival to Google Pixel and vice versa. Today, we want to give you some reasons to choose Google Pixel over iPhone. Let’s read on and discover!

4 Reasons why Google Pixel is better than iPhone

First of all, Google Pixel has better display quality than that of iPhone. AMOLED panel is good at delivering bright colors and deep blacks. Meanwhile, for IPS display, it specializes in exhibiting natural colors. Therefore, although IPS screen also delivers nice viewing experience, it is not high contrast and sharp as AMOLED display. And that is what happens to the Pixel with AMOLED panel and iPhone with IPS display. In addition, thanks to the higer pixel density value, the viewing experience of Pixel is also better (441 ppi > 401 ppi).

Secondly, another reason to choose Google Pixel over iPhone lies on the fact that it runs Android OS. Android OS of the Pixel allows more easy way to handle or manage notifications than iOS of iPhone. For example, with just one swipe, Google Pixel users can clear away a notification while iPhone users need to tap after swiping. Moreover, notifications in Android can be expanded to show more details whereas as notifications in iOS show less information. In addition, Android OS of the Pixel will clear away those notifications. On the other hand, iPhone users have to clear notifications manually.

Thirdly, the Pixel has better battery life. The Pixel is fairly good at power saving. In comparison to iPhone, the juice of Pixel does not drain out fast as that of iPhone thanks to Adroid’s Doze feature. The charging process is also faster than iPhone. According to one experiment, the Pixel took about two hours to full charged. On the other hand, with the same amount of time, the iPhone 7 Plus only reached 70%.

Reasons to choose Google Pixel over iPhone

Of course, iPhone of Apple still has significances that make it popular in the market. Yet, nothing is flawless. Here we provide you with four major reasons to choose Google Pixel over iPhone: better display quality, Android OS, better battery life and fast charging process.
