iPhone's Hang up Problem Or Freezing Can Be Reduced 2016-tech
iPhone 7
The main problem of an iPhone is the freezing."I hate When iPhone/iPad/iPod were
randomly hang/Freeze.The great solution for this is to hold down the Power+Home buttons together.
It is a good solution for this.After that the Apple Logo shows up.Then just let go it will be reset.
When we using other low quality phones or cheap rated phones this is not an issue,
because we can remove the battery.But in the case of an iPhone we cannot remove it.It
consists of an inbuilt battery.So we cannot remove it.
iPhone 6s
It can be solved by different methods:
1. It's mainly by the low memory Storage.So Clear up the unwanted Apps,Documents,Images,Vedios.
2. We can make a soft reset by press and hold POWER+HOME Key.Then your Apple iPhone restarts.
3. If the battery life is very less then the performance of the phone will be decreases as well as the phone becomes freeze.
4. Close your background applications after the use will make a good performance.
5. Provide a DFU Mode Setup
It will helps to connect iPhone with itunes without your iPhone fully turning ON.
It is mainly used to Update or Restore IOS.
Steps :-
1.Connect the iPhone/ipad/iPod to a computer with iTunes installed.
2. When it is connected.Hold and press the POWER + HOME Keys simultaneously.
3. While the iTunes logo,arrow and the lightning cable appear the screen you want
to release the hand from both the keys.
4. Then a window will appear to either Restore or Update Your iPhone.
Choose the Update Icon.
iPhone SE
6. Check for latest Softwear Upadtes for Your iPhone.
It will also help to make our Apple iPhone to a good performance Device.And also it
will helps to fix the Freezing problem.
iPhone 5s
The iPhone 5s,6,6s,SE are of A7 chip, it is not powerful for all but almost all the apps can be
supports.The main benefit of A7 chip is that it's 64-bit.
Now a days the developers are making apps for 64-bit processors.

World's highest-paid athletes: Cristiano Ronaldo tops Forbes 2016 list
He's just won the Champions League with Real Madrid -- and now Cristiano Ronaldo can celebrate being the world's highest-paid athlete, too.
Forbes estimates that Portugal captain Ronaldo, who will be one of the biggest stars at Euro 2016 in France, earned a staggering $88 million (£60.4m) last year.
That puts him clear at the top of the American business magazine's annual compilation of the world's 100 highest-paid athletes -- and it means he is again ahead of Barcelona rival Lionel Messi, with the pair having finished third and fourth last year.
Argentina's Messi earned $81.4m this year as soccer's two biggest stars rung the changes at the pinnacle of the list.
It is the first time since 2000 that either golfer Tiger Woods -- who drops to 12th after a wretched run of poor form and injury problems -- or boxer Floyd Mayweather has not headed the table.
The Forbes data reveals that the top 100 athletes earned an amazing $3.15 billion between them over the past 12 months.
That eye-watering figure actually represents a slight decrease from last year, when the overall $3.2 billion tally was boosted by the $460m fight between Mayweather -- nicknamed Money -- and Manny Pacquiao.
It was the most lucrative bout in boxing history.
Tennis titans Roger Federer ($67.8m) and Novak Djokovic ($55.8m) retain their top 10 spots in a list that includes stars from 10 different sports.
The 100 highest-paid athletes come from 23 countries, with a majority of them -- 65 -- Americans.
Amongst those is golfer Jordan Spieth ($52.8m), whose rise from 85th place last year to ninth this time makes him the biggest mover on the list after a year that includes a big-money FedEx Cup success.
Basketball stars LeBron James ($77.2m) and Kevin Durant ($56.2m) occupy third and fifth places, but baseball is the most heavily represented sport on the list, boasting 26 names.
Basketball has 18, American football 21 and soccer 12.
The Forbes figures include all salaries, prize money and bonuses paid out between June 1 last year and the same date in 2016.
The magazine says its calculations are "based on conversations with dozens of industry insiders" and adds: "We do not deduct for taxes or agents' fees, and we do not include investment income."
Last year, leader Mayweather raked in $300m, almost double the tally of second-placed Pacquiao, the man he defeated in Las Vegas.
That put him at the summit of the Forbes list for the third time in four years, with his huge earnings dwarfing the previous record set by Woods, who banked $115m back in 2008.
Maria Sharapova banned for two years over meldonium drug use
Maria Sharapova received a two-year suspension from the International Tennis Federation (ITF) after testing positive for banned drug meldonium, which may end the career of the richest female athlete of the past decade.
The ITF made the announcement Wednesday, ending weeks of speculation about the future of the former world No. 1. Sharapova -- whose case was heard by a three-person tribunal on May 18 and 19 -- immediately said on her Facebook page she would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which will have the final say on the matter. Her lawyer, John Haggerty, told CNN he expected the hearing to take place next month.
The ITF -- which sought a four-year punishment -- told CNN it wouldn't be appealing to CAS, while the World Anti-Doping Agency will review the decision before deciding whether or not to take the matter to Swiss-based court.
The two-year ban is in line with non-specified substances such as meldonium for first-time offenders who aren't deemed to have intentionally cheated.
"The ITF tribunal unanimously concluded that what I did was not intentional," the 29-year-old Sharapova said. "The tribunal found that I did not seek treatment from my doctor for the purpose of obtaining a performance enhancing substance. The ITF spent tremendous amounts of time and resources trying to prove I intentionally violated the anti-doping rules and the tribunal concluded I did not.
"You need to know that the ITF asked the tribunal to suspend me for four years -- the required suspension for an intentional violation -- and the tribunal rejected the ITF's position.
"While the tribunal concluded correctly that I did not intentionally violate the anti-doping rules, I cannot accept an unfairly harsh two-year suspension. The tribunal, whose members were selected by the ITF, agreed that I did not do anything intentionally wrong, yet they seek to keep me from playing tennis for two years."
Haggerty, unsurprisingly, supported his client. The ITF, he alleged, wanted to make an example of the Siberian-born Sharapova.
"While I am pleased with the ITF's unanimous ruling about Maria's lack of intent to violate the rules, I am disappointed that the ITF tribunal gave Maria an unfairly harsh suspension because she is such a famous athlete and they wanted to make an example out of her," he said in an email.
However, Sharapova certainly wasn't an innocent party, as laid out by the tribunal's 33-page ruling.
"She is the sole author of her misfortune," it stated in its conclusion.
And WTA head Steve Simon, replying to the verdict, emphasized the importance of players to follow the rules.
"It is important at all times for players to be aware of the rules and to follow them," Simon said. "In this case, Maria has taken responsibility for her mistake from the outset. The WTA supports the process that the ITF and Maria have followed."
Sharapova stunned the world in March when the five-time grand slam winner said in a Los Angeles press conference arranged by her entourage that she had failed a drug test at the Australian Open on January 26. She received a provisional ban on March 12.
While racket provider Head stood by her, other sponsors distanced themselves from Sharapova, including Nike and watch maker Tag Heuer. On Wednesday, though, despite the ruling, Nike backed Sharapova.
Just this week, her 11-year reign as the world's richest female athlete came to an end. She was replaced by a bitter rival on the tennis court, Serena Williams.
Sharapova claimed she had been taking meldonium since 2006 for heart issues, a magnesium deficiency and because her family has a history of diabetes.
Sharapova, who has continued to promote her candy company Sugarpova since being suspended, said she simply failed to read an email that stated meldonium would be added to the banned list on Jan. 1. It was an oversight, she insisted, adding that she knew the drug by its trade name Mildronate.
If Sharapova was simply too busy to find out whether meldonium was a banned substance at the start of the year, that task would have fallen to someone on her extensive team. But according to evidence given to the tribunal, her IMG agent Max Eisenbud was the lone member of her current entourage who knew she was taking the drug -- not her coach Sven Groeneveld, physiotherapist or nutritionist.
It was Eisenbud's task to check each year but going through a separation contributed to him not looking at the updated list in the off-season in 2015. Eisenbud said he conducted such matters while on holiday in the Caribbean but didn't go last year due to his personal circumstances.
Eisenbud and Groeneveld didn't reply to emails seeking comment.
Meldonium isn't approved for use in the U.S. -- where Sharapova has lived since the age of seven -- by the Food and Drug Administration. She started using meldonium under the care of a doctor in Russia, Anatoly Skalny, as part of a mix of 18 supplements and medications for various ailments.
They cut ties in 2012, though the player didn't come off the drug. Sharapova said she only told one doctor or practitioner after that time she was on the drug and no one else -- Russian Olympic doctor Sergei Yasnitsky -- despite being in intermittent contact with other medical officials.
Her explanation that no one asked her what medication she was taking didn't cut it with the tribunal.
"The tribunal finds it hard to credit that no medical practitioner whom she consulted over a period of 3 years, with the exception of Dr. Yasnitsky, would, in accordance with standard medical practice, have asked her what medications she was taking," it said.
Meldonium was added to the prohibited list "because of evidence of its use by athletes with the intention of enhancing performance," WADA said on its website.
Boosting endurance and helping in the recovery process are potential benefits for athletes. Sharapova took meldonium before matches but never declared it on doping control forms, including at the Australian Open this year. She tested positive five times for meldonium in 2015.
"The manner of its use, on match days and when undertaking intensive training, is only consistent with an intention to boost her energy levels," the tribunal said in the ruling. "It may be that she genuinely believed that Mildronate had some general beneficial effect on her health but the manner in which the medication was taken, its concealment from the anti-doping authorities, her failure to disclose it even to her own team, and the lack of any medical justification must inevitably lead to the conclusion that she took Mildronate for the purpose of enhancing her performance."
Sharapova, one of tennis' top competitors, vowed to "fight" to return to the court soon. The ban backdated to January, if CAS sticks with the two-year sanction, Sharapova won't be eligible to come back until January 2018.
"I have missed playing tennis and I have missed my amazing fans, who are the best and most loyal fans in the world," she said. "I have read your letters. I have read your social media posts and your love and support has gotten me through these tough days. I intend to stand for what I believe is right and that's why I will fight to be back on the tennis court as soon as possible."
The iPhone 6s is Apple's current flagship handset and is also the first iPhone to not break sales records over a 12 month period
Apple's been producing its "S" series of devices since its fourth-generation iPhone. Technically, we suppose, that makes the iPhone 4S the fifth-gen device and it's been upsetting the order of things with its leap-frogging through the iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, and lastly to the latest iPhone 6s - the subject of this review. We still don't know what the S is supposed to stand for, but we do know that the S series is usually referred to as "incremental", because the major, non-S versions are where all the big, landmark changes and features get introduced.
Thing is, this incremental update 'ain't so incremental, as it happens. The iPhone 6s has some smaller, but no less significant tweaks which mark it out as going a bit further than "S" models of yesteryear. What's new this time round? A much faster processor, heftier camera hardware, and a brand new way to interact with the touch display in the form of 3D Touch -- check out the Best 3D Touch Apps.
Apple's decision to make the iPhone 6s not the usual incremental update may have been part of a deliberate new shift moving forward - according to the latest comments from prominent and incredibly reliable KGI Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo, 2016's iPhone 7 will not actually be the expected big overhaul as has happened in the past. According to his notes to investors, Kuo believes Apple is planning a HUGE revamp of the iPhone line inside 2017 with the iPhone 7s (as it may be called) seeing a complete ground-up rebuild, featuring a new iPhone 4s style bodyshell made entirely from curved glass. This is also when it's believed Apple may shift to OLED display technology and introduce complex dual-sensor camera technology, similar to the LG G5 and Huawei P9.
Apple announced INSANE sales during the first week of sales, as well as record adoption elsewhere in the world. 13+ million shifted during opening week is nothing to be scoffed at -- no one else shifts this kind of volume in the mobile space (or anywhere else for that matter).
But while things did get off to a very good start, iPhone sales during late-2015/2016 have flattened out, and this is very good news for Samsung and its excellent Galaxy S7 phones.
“Apple sold 74.8 million iPhones during the final three months of 2015,” reports Alphr. “This is a record number but, relatively, not much above the 74.46 million sold in the same period of 2014, especially when you consider that the Q1 figure in the year prior to that was 51.03 million units. This apparent slowdown in growth is leading some analysts to claim the end of the iPhone growth era. Seeing as the iPhone accounted for 68% of Apple’s revenue in the quarter, that lack of growth is notable.”
Don’t get me wrong; Apple is still selling A LOT of iPhones. But when year on year growth flattens out and that particular product is your biggest earner, alarm bells will inevitably sound for investors and market watchers who have been dying for the iPhone to fail for years.
Apple confirmed reduced demand for all its iPhone models at its most recent earnings call, as well as decreased market share, and this downward swing is likely linked to iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus users waiting for the iPhone 7.
The iPhone 6s wasn’t the only phone Apple released in 2016 and, no, we’re not talking about the iPhone 6s Plus, either. The “other” release was the iPhone SE, a 4in handset that looks like the iPhone 5s and features many of the iPhone 6s’ features and specs.
The iPhone SE is a solid phone, but one that can hardly be called exciting. It features a great camera, the same from the 6s, the same CPU and very, VERY impressive battery performance. The display is disappointing, as is the design, but overall the complete package is more than the individual parts.
In our iPhone SE Review, we lamented the pricing — the handset is very expensive, given the R&D and BOM costs — but it is an excellent option for those dedicated the Apple ecosystem that want a smaller, 4in handset without having to go with older, less well specced technology. I think Apple knew this ahead of launch, which is why it took the less risky root of repackaging the iPhone 5s and charging slightly less than its current flagship.
It is also highly likely Apple lost a few loyal customers to Samsung; the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 EDGE are exceptional handsets in every regard. The iPhone 7 will launch later on this year and, in a very un-Apple move, looks set to be a trio of devices in the form of the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and an additional iPhone 7 Pro model.

iPhone 6s review: Design
From the outside I will admit the iPhone 6s looks virtually identical to the iPhone 6. Matter of fact, I currently own both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s and I can’t tell them apart when they are side by side. Yet while the designs are very similar, they are not identical. The iPhone 6s is actually a few tenths of a millimeter thicker than its predecessor. This has to do with the new layer of the display (which we’ll talk about later).
AND you will notice this difference too. The handset feels sturdier and more substantial in the hand. I always said the original iPhone 6 was a bit to0 thing and felt flimsy as a result. This goes doubly for the iPhone 6 Plus, hence bendgate. So, adding in the extra bit of girth was a wise move by Apple, despite the fact they had no choice in the matter -- every cloud has a silver lining!
The iPhone 6s also is made from a new, improved type of aluminum–Apple calls it “7000 Series aluminum”. The company says it’s “the same grade of aluminum used in the aerospace industry”, which sounds impressive, if irrelevant. But the 7000 series does actually have a purpose: it’s to avoid the “bendgate” issues of last year. Bendgate referred to the fact that some iPhone 6 Plus’s got bent when people applied a lot of pressure to them or when they sat on them in their back pocket. Though Bendgate affected less than a dozen phones according to Apple, it was bad press and Apple wanted to make sure it didn’t happen again–hence the 7000 Series aluminum in the new iPhone 6s.
I’m sure it’s psychological, but I will say that the iPhone 6s just feels sturdier–more durable. It also is heavier by about 14 grams, thanks to the new aluminum. This extra heft is something I actually like, though, as it makes it the handset feel more durable and less likely to smash into smithereens should you accidentally drop it.
Beyond this there’s really not that much to get excited about, however, as this handset looks identical to last year’s model. Only a company like Apple could get away with this. In the Android space such a move would be considered heresy -- just look what happened with the HTC One M9 and Samsung Galaxy S4. Apple can and does get away with it though and this is mainly down to the fact that people who buy iPhone ONLY buy iPhone. In this respect Apple operates inside a closed market. Recruiting a few floating voters with each release is a bonus, adding to the company’s already HUGE user base.
There are two slight cosmetic changes to the iPhone 6s. On the back of it under the Apple logo you’ll see an “S” stamped on it. The iPhone 6s also comes in a new finish–Rose Gold–which is actually my favorite colour. It looks beautiful. However, I opted to keep with the Space Grey because I like my iPhones dark. The iPhone 6s also comes in Gold and Silver.
iPhone 6s review: 3D Touch Display
As with its design, from the outset the display of the iPhone 6s is virtually identical to that of the iPhone 6. It’s still got a 4.7-inch display with a 1334x750-pixel resolution at 326ppi. However there are two “invisible” differences. First is that the display is now stronger and less prone to breakage should you drop it thanks to a new dual ion‑exchange process used in the display of the 6s. Apple says this makes the iPhone 6s’ display “stronger at a molecular level and the most durable in the smartphone industry”. That’s not something I’m willing to test on my £700 iPhone though.
This is one area I am kind of disappointed in Apple. Updating the display resolution would have been an easy win for the company. But, no, Apple doesn’t follow trends until the very last minute. Just look at its attitude to display size or wearables or third party keyboards. The display is still decent, but compared to setups on the Galaxy S6 and LG G4 it really does pale in comparison -- 326ppi is SO 2010.
I came from a Nexus 6P to the iPhone 6s and, before that, I was using the iPhone 6 Plus. I noticed the drop in display resolution right away and even though I’ve been using the handset for a few months now I really do miss the crisp visuals of QHD and even 1080p panels compared to the iPhone 6s’ paltry 720p setup.
This has to change next year; Apple can not get away with releasing a phone with a 720p display in 2016 -- it’s bad enough in 2015 when most budget Android handsets rock 1080p screens these days. I get that display resolution isn’t as important to Apple’s core users as it is to Android users but still… fitting a 1080p panel wouldn’t have been all that difficult and the iPhone 6s is meant to be a NEW handset after all.
The second difference with the iPhone 6s’ display is, of course, that it is a 3D Touch display. 3D Touch is the next generation of multi touch. Not only can it sense multiple points of input, it can sense how much pressure the user applies to the screen. That means if you press lightly you get one action, and if you press harder you get another.
At first when Apple introduced the 3D Touch display I thought it was gimmicky, but after using it for a week it’s now obvious how useful it actually is. Matter of fact, if you need only one reason to upgrade to the iPhone 6s 3D Touch is it.
3D Touch adds another layer of interaction to your iPhone thanks to the software found in iOS 9. As I wrote in my 3D Touch explainer, the 3D Touch display adds three broad areas of interfacing technology actions to your iPhone.
The first is called Peek and Pop. Peek and Pop works within apps–both Apple ones and third party apps (if developers support 3D Touch, which they will in the coming weeks and months). As the name “Peek” suggests, the action allows you to quickly peek inside something. This something could be a link in an email or an email itself.
For example, if you open the Mail app you no longer need to tap on a message to read it. You can Peek on it by applying pressure to the message and a preview window will pop up with the content of the email. Peeking also works for web links (Peek on a link and see the page load in a window), addresses (Peek to view a map of the address), Messages, and more.
Once you Peek on an element above you can then “Pop” it into place by simply pressing even harder. For example, if you Peek into an address so a map appears, just press a little harder to Pop into the actual Maps app. Similarly, when Peeking into an email, press a bit harder to Pop into the actual message where you can interact with it.
Peek and pop works brilliantly. It allows you to navigate inside apps quicker than ever before. For example, a friend texted me an address the other day. I wasn’t familiar where it was. Normally I would need to tap on the address and would be taken to the maps app, see where it is, and then go back to the Messages app and tell my friend I had found it. But thanks to the 3D Touch display and peek and pop I simply pressed a bit harder on the address and a map popped up inside of the Messages thread.
Peek and pop is also very handy in Safari. I can press lightly on any web link to peek inside where that link takes me, then I can press harder to pop to the actual website if it looks good.
The 3D Touch display also offers something called Quick Actions. Unlike Peek and Pop, which work inside apps, Quick Actions work outside of apps on the Home screen. I liken Quick Actions to contextual menus found on desktop operating systems. If an app supports quick actions (Mail, Phone, Messages, Music, and a number of other Apple and third party apps like Dropbox and Twitter currently do) force press on the app’s icon on the home screen. There rest of the home screen will quickly frost over so only the app’s icon and a series of contextual menus appear. These contextual menus are Quick Actions. Tap on one to perform the action.
Quick Actions are nice, but they take some getting used to to use. That’s because we’re all so used to opening up an app and then navigating to the place in the app that we want to perform a task in. It takes a while to readjust to this new paradigm of interaction. My favorite Quick Actions are for apps I use a lot, like the Quick Actions for the Camera app, which allow me to jump right into taking a video, or the Quick Actions for the Clock app, which allows me to immediately start the timer. Some major third party apps also support Quick Actions–like Instagram–which allows me to jump right into the app’s activity timeline.
Quick Actions do have some drawbacks–first, not all Apple apps offer Quick Actions yet and some of the ones that do only offer a few actions (such as Search for the App Store). Also you can’t tell which apps offer Quick Actions just by looking at the icon. You actually need to force touch each icon and then remember which one has the Quick Actions in the future.
Then again, this isn’t such a big deal as the 3D Touch display works hand in hand with the iPhone 6s’s new Taptic engine. This is a new motor inside the iPhone that vibrates at different speeds when you force touch at different pressures. It provides great haptic feedback, which gives the force of your touch a physical notification that you have pressed a certain amount on the screen. If an app doesn’t offer a Quick Action and you force touch the apps icon, the haptic engine will alert you via a vibration that there will be no Quick Actions appearing on screen.
The 3D Touch display also allows you to have some other interactions with your iPhone 6s like creating a shortcut to the multitasking window, for one. But the final feature that deserves a brief mention is that if you force touch on the built-in keyboard it turns it into a trackpad so you can slide the cursor around on screen.
Rating:
5
Typical Price:
£539.00
Pros:
The fastest iPhone ever-by a long shot. Double the RAM and processing power. A Touch ID that works in milliseconds instead of second. Vastly improved cameras and video recording capabilities. And that 3D Touch display is going to change the way we interact with our phones.
Cons:
Quick Actions via 3D Touch take some getting used to and only a fraction of apps support them for now. Live Photos, while cool, probably won’t be used much by most people.
Verdict:
No question about it: the iPhone 6s is the fastest, most advanced iPhone ever. If you are thinking of upgrading, now is the time. Apple might as well called this the iPhone 7.
Suspect extradited for people smuggling 'is wrong man'
Friends of a man extradited to Italy on Tuesday on people smuggling charges say police have the wrong man.
Prosecutors believe Mered Medhanie, known as The General, is at the heart of the operation to smuggle migrants from Africa to Europe.
An Eritrean man authorities say is Mr Mered was held in Sudan in May and flown to Rome on Tuesday.
But the man's friends told the BBC there had been a case of mistaken identity and he was innocent.
He was named by friends as Mered Tesfamariam.
A spokesman for Britain's National Crime Agency (NCA), that was involved in the operation, told the Press Association they were "liaising with our partners".
It added: "This is a complex multi-partner operation and it is too soon to speculate about these claims."
An Italian police official told the BBC that he was unaware of any investigation into the identity of the suspected smuggler. The BBC understands that the Italian police still believe they have the right person.
The NCA said it had tracked the suspect down to an address in Khartoum, where he was then arrested.
Images of him arriving in Rome were distributed by Italian police on Wednesday.
The BBC spoke to one man, Hermon Berhe, who lives in Ethiopia and said he grew up in Eritrea with the man shown in the pictures.
"I don't think he has any bone in his body which can involve such kind of things," he said. "He is a loving, friendly and kind person."
Another Eritrean man told the BBC's Will Ross he recently shared a house in Sudan with the man who was arrested.
Meron Estefanos, a Swedish-Eritrean journalist who interviewed Mr Mered last year, told Swedish media the man in the images was not him, but was instead a 28-year-old man with the same name.
"He's just a refugee who was in Khartoum, poor guy," she told Aftonbladet newspaper.
Italian news agency Ansa said Mr Mered was accused of being "the leader and organiser of one of the largest criminal groups operating between central Africa and Libya".
Prosecutors accuse Mr Mered of running the network alongside an Ethiopian accomplice, who is still at large.
The two men are accused of buying up kidnapped migrants from other gangs and sending those migrants on barely seaworthy ships across the Mediterranean towards Europe.
Known as "The General", as he styled himself on late Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi, Mr Mered is also said to have driven around in a tank and boasted: "Nobody is stronger than me."
The NCA says Mr Mered is thought to have arranged the transit of a boat that sank near the Italian island of Lampedusa in October 2013.
At least 359 migrants died when the boat, travelling from Libya, capsized. Most were from Eritrea and Somalia.
