Battery Test: iPhone 6S Plus vs iPhone 7 Plus vs iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone X (Video)

Experiment time. This time, we’re going to test the batteries on the iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus, and the iPhone X. To do this, I am running all of the phones on the same Wifi network with all the same accounts active on them (and getting notifications at the same time), screen brightness is set to 50% and we’re streaming the same Nyan cat video from YouTube on them all. Let’s see what happens. Well, oddly enough, the iPhone X won which was surprising to me considering I feel on a day to day it’s battery […]

How to Use Memoji

Whether you like them or not, Memojis are now a thing. Apple has just unveiled iOS 12 and with it one of the most talked about new features, Memoji. Memoji are basically the same concept as Animoji, which use facial recognition on the iPhone X’s front camera system to mimic your facial expressions on a 3D emoji. The big difference between them is that Memoji are human-like and able to be customized to help them represent you better. They’re kinda fun actually, so if you want to learn how to use Memoji, here’s how. Create Your Memoji To create your

How to Get iOS 12 Beta Right Now for Free

Apple announced the latest version of iOS, iOS 12, at their developer conference called WWDC recently. This new iOS version has a bunch of new features including better performance, the infamous Memoji, and more. Thing is only developers can download the beta at the moment and if you aren’t one, you probably don’t want to pay the $99/year fee to become one. Thanks to some other developers out there though that are willing to let us use their developer profiles, you don’t need to. You can simply find one of these developer profiles on the web (I have one for

Camera Comparison: iPhone X vs iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone 7 Plus vs iPhone 6S Plus (Video)

Another camera comparison for you guys. Today, I wanted to see how iPhone cameras have improved over the last few years. To do that, I took an iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, and an iPhone 6S Plus and went out and took the same photos on each and then lined them up so we could compare them and see how much things have changed. Unlike the speed test I recently did on the same devices, I have a feeling; we’ll see a more significant gap between the generations. Let’s get started. Well, think it’s pretty obvious (and

Camera Comparison: P20 Pro vs Pixel 2 XL vs iPhone X vs Galaxy S9 Plus

The Huawei P20 Pro was released recently and with it one of the first three camera smartphones (and the first using Leica as a partner, for sure). In addition to the 3x telephoto, the RGB, and monochrome cameras it’s sporting, it also has a much larger sensor than any other flagship device on sale right now. So, this begs the question, can that help the P20 Pro compete with the other best camera phones you can buy? Let’s do a camera comparison with the P20 Pro vs. the Pixel 2 XL, the iPhone X, and the Galaxy S9 Plus and

Speed Test: iPhone X vs iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone 7 Plus vs iPhone 6S Plus (Video)

Another experiment today, this time it’s something I was wondering about iPhones. Even though we get newer processors and promised performance every year, does it really make a difference in our everyday life? So to test it, I put the iPhone X vs the iPhone 8 Plus vs the iPhone 7 Plus vs the iPhone 6S Plus and opened the same apps and games on each to see if there was any perceived difference in speed. Here’s what happened. FoneMonitor was kind enough to sponsor this video, please check them out for more info on how to monitor an employee

All the People Who Said No One Would Buy the iPhone X Were Wrong

“No one is going to buy the new iPhone X.” “Too many people are scared of the privacy issues with Face ID and don’t want to give up Touch ID.” “It’s too expensive; people will go for the cheaper iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.” Eh, not quite. On the Apple earnings call last Tuesday, Tim Cook went over the fact that Apple posted $61.1 billion in the March quarter vs. last year’s $52.9 billion. He mentioned that they were going to do a $100 billion buyback of stocks to give stockholders some dividends. And he discussed that they sold 52.2

Speed Test: Razer Phone vs iPhone X vs OnePlus 5T vs Note8 vs Pixel 2XL vs Mate 10 Pro

Another experiment today, this time I wanted to see how the Razer Phone held up to the other top flagships in terms of speed and performance. So to test this, I filmed opening popular apps and games on the Razer Phone, iPhone X, OnePlus 5T, Note8, Pixel 2XL, and the Mate 10 Pro (the top flagships of 2017) and lined them up to see how fast each did it. Here’s what happened. Twitter Facebook Google Maps YouTube Pokemon Go Mario Run Sonic Dash What do you guys think? And let me know if you have any other suggestions for improving

How to Stop Telemarketer Calls Once and For All (Video)

I get a lot of telemarketer calls. So many, in fact, I’ve contemplated changing my number just to try and get it under control–it’s that bad. So in search of a better option to help stop telemarketer calls, I think I came up with a way to limit them that, so far, seems to be doing pretty well. Now, you can, and should, use your phone’s built-in blocking feature. You can tap and hold on a phone number you know is a spam caller in the call log and tap block on most devices but the issue with this is

How to Automate Tasks in iOS Using This Simple App (Video)

This has to be the most useful app ever on iOS. It’s called Workflow and it’s made by Apple (even though they don’t promote it very much). The concept is rather clever. The app has tons of triggers and actions that you can string together and then run by simply tapping on the widget button. It starts at the top and then works its way down to the bottom and outputs whatever it is you need. And, because it is made by Apple, it actually has access to system things that any other third-party app wouldn’t have, making it far

How to Disable Apple’s CPU Throttling on Your iPhone (Video)

I’m sure we all remember the fiasco that was Apple being called out for intentionally limiting older iPhone performance based on how the battery was functioning (and the bigger problem of not telling anyone). If you aren’t familiar though, iPhone CPU throttling is when the device’s operating system intentionally limits, or throttles, the CPU performance (and thereby the speed at which the device can function). Following the discovery that Apple was doing this to devices without users knowing, they said they would release a way to turn off this CPU throttling in a future update. Turns out that that update is

How to Display Comment Notifications Only in Instagram & Facebook

Managing social networks can be a pain so here’s a quick tip to allow you to sort your Instagram and Facebook comments from the other notifications so you can see what needs a reply and what doesn’t quickly and easily.

Once that’s setup, you’ll be able to tap the Inbox icon in the middle of the menu bar at the bottom. Here you’ll already see any

Intelligent Scan (Galaxy S9) vs Face ID (iPhone X) (Video)

Now that the iPhone X started to make face unlock a bit more mainstream other manufacturers are all getting on board with, not adding facial unlocking, which most have had for some time, but with marketing the feature upfront now and coming up with better ways of implementing it. Samsung recently launched their Galaxy S9 and S9+ and with it “Intelligent Scan” which isn’t so much a new tech as it is a combination of their existing Iris Scan (which scans your eyes for authentication) and then defaults to their facial recognition if that isn’t available–all within milliseconds. But, as

How to Use the iOS 11 Document Scanner Feature

One of the more useful features in iOS 11 that not a lot of people talk about is the new built-in document scanner feature in Notes. Where you normally would have used a third-party app to do this type of scan (and there are good ones that I like out there), this one is super easy to use and is built in to iOS so, you know, it’s just better. To scan any document (super handy for business cards in my opinion), simply open the Notes app. Tap the new note icon at the bottom right. Tap the plus sign above
