iphone 6-Bigger just got Bigger

-10 million sold as it evolves

Those long lines at Apple Stores around the world translated into record iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sales over the weekend. Ten million to be exact! That beat last year’s iPhone 5S opening weekend by 1 million in sales. t1The achievement is remarkable, considering that China wasn’t a part of this year’s opening weekend. Apple sold 9 million iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S smartphones during the first three days of sales a year ago a weekend that included Chinese sales.
iPhone 6 isn’t simply bigger — it’s better in every way. Larger, yet dramatically thinner. More powerful, but remarkably power efficient. With a smooth metal surface that seamlessly meets the new Retina HD display. It’s one continuous form where hardware and software function in perfect harmony, creating a new generation of iPhone that’s better by any measure.
iPhone at its largest and thinnest
Developing an iPhone with a larger, more advanced display meant pushing the edge of design. From the seamless transition of glass and metal to the streamlined profile, every detail was carefully considered to enhance your experience. So while its display is larger, iPhone 6 feels just right.t2

The size of the new, higher-resolution Retina HD displays on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus may be the first thing you notice. But what you experience is so much more. With innovations that deliver higher contrast, dual domain pixels for more accurate color at wider viewing angles, and an improved polarizer, these are the thinnest, most advanced Multi Touch displays Apple has ever made.

Higher contrast
Rather than using traditional methods to create the higher-resolution Retina HD display, Apple developed an advanced process of photo alignment. This involves using UV light to precisely position the display’s liquid crystals so they lie exactly where they should. Better-aligned crystals deliver a superior viewing experience, with deeper blacks and sharper text.

Wider-angle viewing.
Larger displays make sharing easier. To make sure everyone experiences stunning clarity, the new Retina HD display has dual-domain pixels to enable color accuracy from corner to corner. So movies and photos stay true, even when viewing from wider angles.

Improved polarizer
t3Your iPhone goes everywhere you do. And sometimes that’s outdoors in the sun. With that in mind, the Retina HD display has an improved polariser so you get a clearer view when you’re wearing sunglasses.

Display Zoom
Now there are more ways to see your display. Standard view lets you see more of your apps. Or activate Display Zoom to see them and all your content-even bigger.

iOS 8t4
Somewhat less successful than adoption of the iPhone 6 is Apple’s new iOS 8 software. Just 30% of iPhone users have installed the new software, which became available this month. A year ago, more than half of iPhone customers had downloaded iOS 7 just three days after the software became available.
The bottom line – iPhone 6/Plus is too big for everyone to love it, but it’s Apple’s best phone this year. If your budget and your pocket can make room for it, give the iPhone 6/Plus serious consideration.
It’s easy to get hacked. And yes, it can happen to you.
Follow this advice from actual hackers, and you’ll be a lot safer online.
1. Turn off your phone’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Hackers are religious about this. Keeping these features “on” all the time makes it easy for strangers to slip into your phone. Once connected to your phone, hackers can bombard your device with malware, steal data or spy on you. And you won’t even notice.
2. Use two-step authentication. Nowadays, a single password isn’t enough. They get exposed all the time. Lots of email and social media services offer an extra layer of protection: two-step authentication — essentially a second, temporary password.
3. Create a smart password strategy. For the select few websites with your most sensitive information (email, bank), create some long and unique passphrases, like-!godisincharge4urlife.
4. Use HTTPS on every website. Install the HTTPS Everywhere tool developed by the pro-privacy Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts all the information your browser is sending between your computer and websites.
5. Bulk up your home Wi-Fi. Setting up Wi-Fi at home is a tour through the circles of hell. But these two steps are important. First, set up a password. Don’t keep the default password on the sticker. Next, the machine will ask what type of security encryption standard you’d like. Choose WPA-2. Lots of machines default to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) or WPA (Wireless Protected Access). Avoid them at all costs. A known Wi-Fi flaw can give up your password in seconds.
6. Don’t hide your home Wi-Fi. Your home router asks: “Hide the SSID?” If you say yes, then your devices are forced to “actively scan” for the home network you’re trying to hide. Sure, they’ll connect
