A-Downside-to-the-iPhone

Most of the time, I could find feature-equal Android versions of the same apps I had been using in iOS. When I couldn’t, I found Android substitutes that I liked just as much or even more. BeyondPod is as good as Downcast, and Press is the Google Reader app that I kept hoping to find for my iPhone.



What is jailbreaking? Jailbreaking is not the same to unlocking. It means bypassing the restrictions Apple puts on the operating system and taking full control of the device. Once that is opened up, any software, good or bad can now be uploaded to your device without Apple's approval process.

What I will say from the outset is that this is the first iPhone I've owned where I feel truly torn over how I feel about it. Yes, the iPhone 6 Plus is a great handset, but the ultimate price of ownership isn't the price tag but tolerating a number of compromises. And as a result of that, I don't think that the iPhone 6 Plus is for everyone.

The problem with the display is that while a 5.5-inch display brings with it benefits, most of these are canceled out by problems that the having a big screen brings with it. The iPhone 6 Plus doesn't feel optimized for the 5.5-inch display, and I'm left feeling that Apple just took the 4.7-inch model and scaled it up, rather than design the handset with a 5.5-inch display in mind from the ground up. iOS 8 could certainly be tweaked to make the experience better (see above), but realizing that just makes me wonder why Apple didn't do this in the first place. I'm hoping that Apple doesn't wait until iOS 9 to do this, because that would be unacceptable.

It looks just like your existing phone. The iPhone 6s looks exactly like the iPhone 6, so you won’t necessarily enjoy the social cache of owning the latest and greatest Apple phone. If you get one of the new color options — space gray or rose gold — some people might notice. Sounds trivial, but to many people it’s not. Apple products are “aspirational;” people are willing to pay the high price because they are accessorizing the smart, upwardly mobile, affluent person they want to be.

The sole significant limitation of the Android app library, as I experience it, is that the very best apps available on iOS are usually better than the very best apps available on Android. Mostly I’m thinking of the apps that Apple creates in-house. iPhoto, iMovie, and iWork are breathtaking achievements; each is an example of a developer working through the limitations of a teensy handheld device. I can’t think of examples that correlate in the Android library.

All things are imperfect, and so is iPhone 6 Plus. After getting the pros of iPhone 6 Plus, it's high time to strip off its dazzling appearance and seep into its interior side to see what iPhone 6 Plus disadvantages are before you make some decision.

That said, yeah, the user would probably have preferred that the app never crashed to begin with. Anyway. Overall, I give iOS a grade of A- for stability and reliability. Android gets a B+. It’s a difference that shows up easily on a yearly spreadsheet but it’s difficult for me to see the iOS advantage in day-to-day usage.

Looking at the Apple TV’s past update path and the current ecosystem of iOS devices and services, it’s no surprise that the next Apple TV won’t support 4K. Still, 4K adoption will remain an opportunity for future versions of the Apple TV and Apple’s iTunes Store. Could 4K be justification for Apple selling the whole TV set rather than just the box you connect in the future?

I disagree with his take about the thinness of Apple's phones. I prefer thin, light phones so I would not want more battery life at the price of additional weight or thickness. Then again, I don't use an iPhone 6 so battery life has not been a problem for me at all.

Conclusion: No matter the purpose of watching this article is for more information before purchasing iPhone 6 Plus or jailbreaking iPhone 6 Plus, it would be better to postphone making decision before you think it twice. As after judging and weighing the advantages and disdavantages of iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone jailbreaking, you finally know what you desire most and if you can accept its imperfect sides.

I finally tried the 6 Plus myself as well, having recently taken two trips to the British Isles in the span of a few weeks. I wanted to get a local SIM, and my only unlocked iPhones were my old 5S and the 6 Plus I bought for development and testing that has sat mostly idle for months. I didn’t want the 5S’ worse camera and smaller battery, so I chose the 6 Plus.

It wasn’t long before I noticed that I was almost always choosing the Samsung. Usually, I went for the iPhone when I needed a piece of data that could only easily sync between Apple devices: things like Reminders, and documents stored in iCloud. I switched those services over to platform-agnostic alternatives, which arguably is something I should have done even if I’d stuck with iOS.

The last but not least iPhone 6 Plus advantage I need to mention goes to the nascent high technologies iPhone 6 Plus brings and its improved 8MP camera. The high-tech iPhone 6 plus is infused including a barometer as a Health iSO 8 app, Family Sharing, iCloud Drive, and a faster LTE download, etc. In addition, Apple offers iPhone 6 Plus with an enhanced 8MP camera with 3264 x 2448 pixels, optical image stabilization, phase detection autofocus, and dual-LED (dual tone) flash. Moreover, the iSight camera has a new sensor with Focus Pixels and new video features, like 1080p HD at 60 fps, slo-mo at 240 fps, and time-lapse video mode. Therefore, you'll have more reasons to capture more moments on video, as well.
