The iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus

The book I read to research this post was The iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus Ultimate Guide by Brian S which is a very good book that I downloaded for free from kindle. This book is only an overview of the 2 new smartphones from Apple and I think it is best if you have experience of one of the earlier versions to be able to follow it. The book is only around 20 pages so is interesting but brief. The main differences between the basic phone and the Plus are the respective 4.7 and 5.5 inch screens and also the latter has a higher screen resolution. The Plus is mainly to help people with larger hands. Apple have increased the screen sizes for both over the iPhone 5 and they have a glass cover and rounded edges in keeping with trends in smartphone development. They have done away with the beveled edge. The iPhone can recognize you by your thumbprint and also you don’t have to worry about someone chopping it off because there is a heat sensor to make sure it is living. You can enable payments using this with an iPhone 6 or if you have it can be done with an iWatch. Another new product from Apple. There is an upgraded version of Siri the voice activated personal assistant. There is an improved messaging system where it is easier to place things like Facetime calls – Apple’s video call service – and other messaging services can be found more easily under the person’s name. It is also easier to find information regarding a message in this way. Although this book doesn’t cover it there is technology to control things like your television and microwave etc from your smartphone. Technology is going that way with phones now. I think if you have a new iPhone and just want something to get you started in using the latest features this book is great and let’s face it, it’s free. I think I’d recommend it and it is an interesting read.
