Users reportedly some iPhone 6s turn off in the cold, despite a well-filled battery suddenly from - even if the temperatures are not in the extremely cold area.

The iPhone 6s appears to be sensitive to cold. Even if the battery is not empty, it will turn off. This does not necessarily happen at extremely low temperatures, but also can occur already at single digit plus degrees. Turn the user on the device, the icon for the empty battery appears, even if the devices are charged.

The "frozen" iPhones can be turned on after a time by heating or by connecting to the electrical outlet. Then immediately after booting the correct, original battery level is displayed. This phenomenon could Golem.de understand multiply at an iPhone 6s. It showed, for example, a battery level of about 60 percent to, was taken out of the pocket or to take a photo and turned off immediately.

Even the battery replacement by an Apple Authorized Service Partner brought no relief. Batteries are indeed sensitive to cold, but Apple is an operating range between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius for the iPhone a - and so cold the unit was not. Yet there is no explanation or remedy from Apple.

An earlier battery problem was able to narrow Apple already. An imprecise battery indicator the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus annoys many users. The problem occurs according to Apple only if the iPhone automatically changes the time zone, such as when the user is traveling.

The iPhone 6s was presented on 9 September 2015 and is Apple's first smartphone with 3D touch display.

Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S7 vs. iPhone 6s

The flagship Galaxy S7 is here! Time to compare it with the eternal rivals iPhone (6s) - just so we can say whether Samsung is rightly at the top smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S7 vs. Apple iPhone 6s: Conclusion

Yes, we compare in this case apples with pears or an iOS smartphone with an Android phone, which are completely different. Yet is interesting to note that an iPhone 6s achieved with clearly weaker engine a slightly better result in the benchmark test - the reason: Apple designs software and hardware from the same company and are matched almost perfectly. In contrast, Samsung installed something better and especially higher-resolution display. There is also a memory expansion and a waterproof housing. The camera quality is both devices at a similarly high level - both among the best cams in the smartphone market.

Also interesting is the price: Samsung provides its current flagship with 700 euros 50 euros cheaper than at Apple his older iPhone 6s with half as large memory.

Design and Display: S7 is waterproof

The iPhone 6s is actually a nice and handy Smartphone aluminum. In contrast, the Galaxy S7 is constructed of glass and aluminum and so does not just quality, it is also very comfortable to hold. The new S7 is about as large as the iPhone 6s, but the display of 5.1 compared to 4.7 inches is significantly greater - so the Samsung phone has a better display-to-case ratio. In addition, the resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels compared with 1334 x 750 pixels is much higher. The iPhone 6s, however, is equipped with a pressure-sensitive display (3D touch), which allows a new way of operating. In practice, however, both screens are similar sharp. However, already noticeable with the naked eye that the S7 a bit thicker, there are exactly 0.8 millimeters. Nevertheless, it is still thin with a total of 7.9 millimeters.

Both smartphones are each a unibody case, you can not simply replace the battery. On the respective USB port, and SIM slot we will discuss in the next section.

Compared to the iPhone 6s, the S7 is certified to IP68 standard and therefore waterproof and dustproof but also weighs approximately 10 grams more.

Memory expandable at S7
Apple built into the iPhone 6s own Lightning port - the advantage is that you can not upside plug the USB cable, there is no up and down. The downside: Only Apple uses this port.
Most androids put on microUSB for years. Lately on USB Type-C, which not only allows faster loading, but can also be inserted bilaterally. Nevertheless, Samsung built a classic micro-USB port. The public opinion: "Type-C is not as widespread, with microUSB one could use all accessories and cables from various suppliers." In fact, it is so that suppliers could not guarantee the numbers of USB Type-C cables called Samsung as we could find out by talking to the MWC.
Although the iPhone 6s offers 3 memory sizes (16, 64 and 128 GB), but no memory expansion. The Galaxy S7 contrast only comes with 32GB of internal storage, can it also be increased via Micro SD card.

Performance: Octa-Core vs. Dual-Core
As engine each one developed in-house CPU used. So the Galaxy S7 iPhone 6s works with the Exynos 8890 with 8 cores, with the Apple A9 with only 2 cores. but does not mean that the iPhone performs worse. Apple keeps aware of the performance standards low so that developers of applications and games program efficient apps always run smoothly. So also the memory with 2 GB to 4 GB in S7 is smaller.
In Antutu benchmark, not seen in the video, because we could run this later, scored the iPhone 6s with 132 419 points around 5 points more than the Galaxy S7. Both smartphones are therefore extremely powerful and lead the rankings.

Camera: 12MP both devices
Samsung lowers the camera resolution from 16 to 12 megapixels - like the iPhone 6s. Fewer pixels or diodes on an equal image sensor mean that the individual pixels are larger and contain more image information, which ultimately affects the quality! The pixel size is growing, according to Samsung the way of 1,2μm to 1,4μm on. In addition, the Koreans put down on an f / 1.7 aperture, which is intended to capture up to 56 percent more light than the f / 1.9 aperture opening in the Galaxy S6.
The photo quality both smartphone cameras is very similar - and above all very good! Apple has been using the iPhone 6 a phase comparison autofocus, which works smooth and fast especially. Thanks to "Dual Pixel" and the Galaxy S7 has a new autofocus, which uses the entire layer of the sensor for the focus - the result is similar!

Apple's hardware boss "iPad Pro was originally limper than the iPhone 6S"

Apple experts will know it Johny Srouji is late last year went up to Apple hardware chief. Since then, he is officially known as SVP of Hardware Technologies. Since 2008 Srouji works at Apple and led the team to the development of the A4 chips. Previously, he worked at IBM and Intel. The Apple engineer is mainly responsible for the development of the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and many other Apple products.

developed A9X chip within half a year

Having made you yesterday on an interview with Tim Cook and Jony Ive with Vogue attention, we would like you put your heart into a pretty interesting interview by Bloomberg and Apple hardware chief Johny Srouji. In this, he talked over the iPad Pro.

Our original plan was the iPad Pro with Apple's tablet chip, the A8X, the same processor, which is built into the iPad Air 2 2014 to introduce. But the delay meant until the fall that the iPad Pro will be presented in parallel with the iPhone 6S, which already uses the newer and fast chip A9. Exact these things bring sleepless nights for executives with him. The iPad Pro was important. Apple wanted to sell it to business customers and it would look next to the iPhone 6S quite old. So Srouji have his team sworn in a new tablet processor, the A9X to develop within six months. It worked.

In original iPhone a chip of Samsung DVD player was used

Also interesting is the anecdote, looks back with Srouji to the original iPhone from the year of 2007. Steve Jobs has been known that the device did not have a front camera, had a measly battery life, only 2G supported and everything was very inefficient in everything. This was because the technology was not ready and Apple had to gather together components from different suppliers. Among other elements came a chip of Samsung DVD player used. Steve Jobs came to the conclusion that there is only one solution for Apple. We must develop our own chips. In this context, Johny Srouji was hired by Apple's former hardware chief Bob Mansfield Fiel.

As Srouji to Apple changed working 40 engineers working on integrating chips from different suppliers into iPhone. In April 2008, the number grew to 150 people after Apple P.A. Semi had bought. As mentioned above, the A4 chip was the first major project of Srouji.

3D Touch with iPhone 6 - is that possible?

At its annual keynote, Apple has presented a new display technology for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in 2015. Through 3D Touch iPhone recognizes how firmly you press with your finger on the screen and responds accordingly with new interaction possibilities. In this article, we explain you how 3D Touch also brings to the iPhone 6.

A novel display technology allows with the strength of finger pressure affect you, what kind of menu is displayed to you since the 6s series of iPhones. As had been done externally especially in comparison to the direct predecessor nothing of 3D touch is probably the most crucial selling point for the 6s and 6s Plus. A trick you can use the functionality but also on the iPhone 6 - in spite of the normal screen.

Enabling 3D touch by adding program for iPhone 6

Since the iPhone 6 technically does not have the facilities to enable 3D touch, you have to do that with the help of an additional program. The only hurdle: This program can install it only on an iPhone, which already has a jailbreak behind. Only then you can the app "Forcy" from the App Store Cydia to download and install.

The lack of display technology, however, a few drawbacks have to be made at the Forcy-Tweak:

• Peek & Pop cannot be simulated.
• Instead of fixed pressing on app icons when you have individual apps upwards swipe to display the Quick Actions.
• Forcy does not work for all apps.
• There is no vibration feedback as in the "real" 3D Touch.

Although Forcy therefore is not a full replacement for 3D Touch on the iPhone 6s or 6s Plus, it's at least a nice gimmick for everyone who is willing to perform a jailbreak on his iPhone. However, if you want to use the full functionality of 3D touch that does not come around to, you need to buy an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus.

Thus, the main camera is, for example, maintain a resolution of 12 MP - but thanks to a larger aperture nevertheless take better still pictures. In his last concept is the same designer had the smartphone even allotted a 16 MP camera.

Large display by small margins

Although the iPhone 7 only slightly larger precipitates according to the ideas of Jermaine Smit than the iPhone 4, it should have a relatively large display. This is possible since the smartphone gets along in his concept with very thin edges around the screen. The IPS display is designed to measure 4.7 inches diagonally and dissolve with 1080p.

Like the iPhone 6s is also the iPhone 7 feature 3D Touch - and also have a quick charge function that also no cable required. Is powered smartphone in the less than 2 minutes long video from the A10, which cores are clocked at 2 GHz. He is to be produced by the 14nm process, which should enable a strong performance and simultaneously reduce battery consumption.

As space will Smits According concept 32GB available in the smallest version. Should Apple implement this idea, the 16 GB version would be as advantageous iPhone a series history - and users would have more space for pictures and videos, without having to pay a premium for the additional memory.
