5 Ways to Improve the Battery Life of iPhones

Image
Today, a smartphone is just as necessary for most as breathing. While you may enjoy the apps, their experiences, and the music on your iPhone , there’s one thing that’s equally unpleasant for all: the battery life. Depending on the edition and the user handling, the iPhone  battery life varies with a single charge. We suggest you stop fretting out on your iPhone's  battery and read this blog.   We’ve compiled some best practices to improve your iPhone’s  battery life. 1.

Is Mobile Gaming Catching Up to PC and Console Gaming Experience

Image
In an unprecedented series of events, Mobile E-sports have somehow channeled their way into mainstream gaming and could be considered the future of E-sports. With games like PUBG Mobile, Arena of Valor, and Call of Duty: Mobile being widely popular and drawing in several millions of dollars in revenue , mobile gaming is certainly gaining a lot of attention. Many developers are shifting their focus and creating mobile versions of their games. Most of the popular E-sports teams also have established teams under popular mobile titles. But despite this, traditional E-sports fans are still skeptical of this relatively new trend. But Are the Graphics Catching Up? For years, the console gaming experience was far more superior to mobile gaming with better graphics, as well as gameplay. But today, things have changed—mobile developers now have the resources and the technology required to create the same level of top-notch visuals and engaging gameplay as the console games. But while some mobile...

Is iPhone 12 Worth the Upgrade?

Image
Traditionally, Apple launches newer iPhone models every year in September. Last year, for obvious reasons, the date was pushed back by a month. Nonetheless, the delay only contributed to the anticipatory excitement for the day the iPhone 12 lineup was finally revealed with all the usual razzmatazz. Despite its apparent popularity, it’s not the most exclusive model and definitely does not have the same novelties as the iPhone 12 mini or the Pro Max. But regardless of this, we think it might be the most logical choice for most iPhone users. In case you’re planning to upgrade this year and wondering if it’s worth the hype, we’ve reviewed some of its features to help you decide. User-Friendly Yet Attractive Design At first glance, our favorite bit is the size. While big screens are great for gaming, they're much harder to use with one hand.

7 Tips to Maintain Your Smartphone to Keep it Running Like New

Image
Out of the 7.8 billion people on this planet, 3.8 billion  use smartphones, and yet so many of us lack the knowledge of making our phones last as long as they're meant to! Here are some smart tips to help you optimize and prolong your phone's battery life: 1.  Switch Your Bluetooth Off Make sure your Bluetooth is switched off when you aren't using it. This will prevent unnecessary and harmful downloads that may pop up on your screen from accessing your personal data. Plus, keeping the Bluetooth on drains your phone battery faster than usual. 2.  Data Encryption Be sure to encrypt all sensitive data you have saved on your phone. While many devices do include this feature, not all devices need to have them. So, if yours does, make sure you take advantage of it. This way, if you lose your phone, no one will be able to access your personal information— not easily, at least. 3.  Steer Clear Of Moisture Avoid exposing your phone to rain, snow, or any moisture. And don't fo...

Is The PS4 Worth It In 2020?

Sony’s PlayStation line has been extremely successful over the years. It holds the record of being the most sold gaming console still present in households, with the PlayStation 2 selling more than 150 million units . After that comes the PS4, with 114 million units sold and the next big competitor, the Xbox One has only ever sold 49 million units.
