Mobile Phone Addiction: mind? Not without my smartphone

WhatsApp, SMS, Phone: Constantly be accessed via the smartphone. For concentrated work is the poison, you might say. Discussions on mobile bans in schools are the result. Employers demand: phone, head to. But without the little companion of smartphone users still better off.

A study by researchers at the University of Missouri has shown that the absence of the smartphone can adversely affect the performance of its owners - at least if he can hear the ringing in the distance.
In the experiment, 40 iPhone users were asked to pick out a box of letters words - one with and one without a smartphone near. This blood pressure and heart rate were measured. The subjects thought that as a new wireless blood pressure cuff to be tested. After crossword users should assess how anxious and uncomfortable they felt.

Anxiety at cell phone ringing

Then the researchers told the subjects their smartphone would interfere with the Bluetooth connection of the wireless meter for heart rate and blood pressure and should therefore be placed further away in space. Well, the subjects should again trigger a jumble of letters - a far cry from their smartphone. At the same time, the researchers called them on her cell phone. When the ringing stopped, heart rate and blood pressure were measured. The researchers then the subjects interviewed again as felt.

It turned out that the heart rate and blood pressure of the subjects in the second part of the experiment were significantly higher than in the first test with smartphone. In addition, subjects had more anxiety and felt uncomfortable. Words they found, however, significantly less.

iPhone as an "extension of the self"

"Our findings suggest that a separation from the iPhone negative impact on the performance on mental tasks can have," concludes Russell Clayton, PhD student at the MU School of Journalism and lead author of the study summarizes the results. The researchers recommend iPhone users even to have their device wherever you go, if they are to solve problems in everyday life, requiring alertness. Whether devices from other manufacturers have a similar effect is unclear.

Also, why the lack of iPhone as a negative effect, the researchers could not resolve conclusively. The results would however suggest that the iPhone could become the "extension of ourselves" because we fell in their absence in a negative physiological state. Who can not permanently help his iPhone or want to get a long-term protection therefore probably only one thing in question: Overall, more distance - especially.

If a mini version with a smaller screen?

With the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus iPhone Apple has made the long-awaited step toward larger displays. But not all users are satisfied with the new display sizes. There are enough users, where a 4-inch display is large enough and prefer to stay in the iPhone 5s. It just lies better in the hand and let yourself comfortable use, say some.

Currently, confirming rumors alternate almost daily. We can state, however, that Apple with the iPhone 5s still has a smartphone with four inch display available. If demand is sufficiently large and Apple companies realize that even a small screen can achieve great things for the user, it will give iPhone also after September 2015. Overall, however, a "small". At least Steve Jobs was indeed alive also think that four inches are perfectly adequate.

Has the production already started?

In December there were rumors that the production of the iPhone 6s had already begun. However, this is very unlikely, because the experience gained in recent years, the Apple management, should a production lead time of two and a maximum of three months should be sufficient to distribute in time for the launch enough devices around the world. But of course, runs the development of the successor of iPhone 6 at full speed, because even if no major visual changes are to be expected, but appropriate new components must be found and adjusted.

Remains the big plus version?

The iPhone 6 sold better than the iPhone 6 plus, but also the larger smartphone emigrated in large numbers over the counters and brings Apple lush profits. Equally high are the chances of it as an iPhone 6s Plus receive a refresher course in the fall.

Will there really be called iPhone 6s?

Very likely. On the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS followed to the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 after the iPhone appeared 5s. There is no reason why Apple should deviate from this pattern. The iPhone 7 will show us Tim Cook then only twelve months later, in September 2016.

Which technique is the iPhone 6s?

About which puts technology in the very next iPhone, there are only very few rumors. The image is complete but over the next months. With new hardware more or less reliable sources bring today is mainly the iPhone 7 into the game, but some of these innovations and patents could even put in a smartphone in the fall of 2015.

In conversation is so far above all the A9 chip as the successor of the currently installed A8 processor, the Samsung is expected to produce. But Apple's patents awarded ensure speculation about functions of future iPhone generations. So the company from Cupertino were awarded a last gesture control, a smoke alarm function and a method for producing sapphire crystal displays.

The well-connected and informed Apple blogger John Gruber, who does not peddle every rumor, but rather provides in-depth analyzes, expect a big jump in camera technology for the next generation. This presumption he said in November 2014 in his podcast.

He might be right, because although the iSight cameras still are among the best smartphone cameras has the least harmed in this area in the iPhones in the last few years, so that an overhaul would be quite appropriate - especially in Noting the progress of the competition.

Thus, the price is in the US without taxes just under 50 dollars (about 42 euros) lower than the price in Germany.

The capacity of the iPhone 6 from the USA vacation not really worth it. Here we have the account open slightly different. You pay for the device as mentioned above $ 649.
