Review of the iPhone 6

Apples new iPhone 6 has arrived, and along with getting everyone talking, it has produced record-breaking sales. Cell Clinic Vancouver has set out to answer the question is the iPhone 6 the best smartphone on the market, and is it much of an improvement over its predecessor, the iPhone 5S.

Features

Apple has included a few new features unique to the iPhone 6. With this new device, Apple is introducing “Apple Pay”. Although Apple Pay is not yet available in Canada, it does appear like this will be a very popular feature and could change the way be pay for everyday things.  Apple has also made some major upgrades to their IOS, but you wont need the new iPhone 6 to take advantage of these features.

Design

With the new iPhone 6 comes a new screen size. At 4.7 inches this screen is slightly larger than the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S, yet it still fits comfortably in your hand. The power button has been relocated to the side of the device, making it easier to operate with the larger screen size. The iPhone 6 also features touch ID and a lightning charging ports, as featured on the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. Overall the design changes in comparison to the iPhone 5 and 5S are noticeable and an overall improvement, but nonetheless minimal.

Camera

The iPhone is typically known for having one of the best cameras in the smartphone market, and the new iPhone 6 is no exception. The iPhone 6 features an 8MP camera that creates some very impressive photographs. The iPhone 6 can also shoot 240fps slow-motion video. This camera is a significant improvement from the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S camera.

Conclusion

Many of you are wondering if with all this hype should you run out an upgrade to the new iPhone 6 from your iPhone 5 or 5S. In our opinion, this is the best smartphone on the market. But in saying this, although the iPhone 6 is an incredible device, and an improvement on its predecessors, it’s not enough to scrap the iPhone 5 or 5S and get this new device.  If you are an Apple user and are currently using an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, this may be the time for you to upgrade. The larger screen on the iPhone 6 is very tempting, and moving from a 4 to a 6 you will notice a huge upgrade in overall operating speed and functionally.

Can my iPhone be Repaired?

It’s becoming more and more common knowledge that iPhone Screens can be quickly repaired, but what if your iPhone has more damaged than a simple cracked screen?

What most people are unaware of is that virtually anything on an iPhone can be repaired/replaced. Even if your iPhone has been run over by a car, it is possible to be repaired back to a brand new looking iPhone, for less than buying a new one.

If you have an older iPhone and it is not performing well, such things as the battery, charging dock, speakers etc. can be easily replaced at an iPhone Repair Shop. The repair costs should all be around or less than $100 and shouldn’t take more than an hour for the repair to be completed.

If your iPhone has suddenly stopped working, and you have not damaged it, you may have a software problem. If this is the case, you may be able to fix this software problem yourself. We would suggest wiping all the data off your iPhone and resetting it back to a “New iPhone”.  Once you have done this, test the iPhone to make sure the software problem has gone away. Sometimes an app can be responsible for causing a software problem. We advice adding your apps back one at a time and keeping an eye on the phone. This will help you identify which app may be causing you a problem.

If your iPhone has been exposed to water damage, we suggest you DO NOT putting your phone in rice. Putting your iPhone in rice may cause the water to dry and corrode the circuits of your phone. Cell Phone Repair Stores have a better chance of saving your iPhone if it is still wet, so the sooner you can bring it for the repair the better. Every repair store is different, but at Cell Clinic Vancouver, we do not charge anything to diagnosis your iPhone. We also do not charge anything if we do not fix your iPhone.

If you are unsure if your iPhone can be fixed just contact any iPhone repair store and ask. The answer is almost always yes in the case of the Apple iPhone. Make sure you take your iPhone to a repair store which provides a “no fix no fee” and offers a warranty on their work.
