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.

Florida Pulse gay club attacked in Orlando - mass casualties

A shooting inside a gay nightclub in the Florida city of Orlando has caused mass casualties, police say.

Orlando Police also said in a tweet that the shooter inside the Pulse Club, located in the heart of the city, is now dead.

A bomb squad and hazardous material team were at the scene, and a controlled explosion was carried out.

Relatives have been gathering at local hospitals desperate for news.

A man who had been inside the club described a situation of chaos outside as the number of casualties became apparent.

"There were just bodies everywhere," Christopher Hansen said. "In the parking lot, they were tagging them - red, yellow - so they knew who to help first and who not help first. Pants down, shirts cut off, they had to find the bullets. Just blood everywhere."

Footage from the scene showed dozens of emergency vehicles at the scene and people being treated on the pavements.

The injured were reportedly brought to hospital in police pick-ups as well as ambulances.

One woman said she had received a text message and phone call from her daughter inside the club, who said she had been shot in the arm.

One of the first people to tweet from the scene, local TV reporter Stewart Moore, said earlier the attacker was suspected to have had a bomb, and had taken people hostage. This has not been confirmed by the police.

Some witnesses said they heard as many as 40-50 gunshots as the incident unfolded.

More than 100 people were reported to have been enjoying a Latin-themed night in the club, which calls itself the hottest gay bar in the city, when the attack began.

Ricardo Negron Almodovar told BBC News that the shooter opened fire at around 02:00 local time (06:00 GMT), as the club night was coming to a close.

"We heard rapid fire go off. In the room I was in, people went down to the floor. I wasn't able to see the shooter or people get hurt.

"At some point, there was a brief pause, and a group of us got up and went to the exit that leads to the patio area outside. We found an exit and after that... I just ran."

Another man, Anthony Torres, said he heard people screaming that others in the nightclub were dead.

According to the Mass Shooting Tracker, there were 372 mass shootings - defined as a single incident that kills or injures four or more people - in the US in 2015. Some 475 people were killed and 1,8760 wounded.

The latest incident comes as Orlando is still reeling from the fatal shooting on Friday night of 22-year-old singer Christina Grimmie following a concert in the city.

She had been signing autographs when she was shot by 26-year-old Kevin James Loibl, who then killed himself. It is not clear what Loibl's motive was.

Former Voice contestant Christina Grimmie shot dead in Orlando

Singer Christina Grimmie, who had competed on the US TV programme The Voice, has died of her wounds after being shot in Florida, police say.

They say a man opened fire on her when she was signing autographs after a concert in Orlando.

The assailant - who was tackled by Ms Grimmie's brother - then shot and killed himself. The 22-year-old singer died in a local hospital.

In 2014, Ms Grimmie finished third during season six of The Voice.

In a tweet, Orlando's police wrote: "With deep regret, we have confirmed Christina Grimmie, @TheRealGrimmie has died from her injuries."

Meanwhile, Ms Grimmie's publicist said: "It is with a heavy heart that we can confirm that Christina has passed and went home to be with the Lord."

Image copyrightTWITTER

Police say Ms Grimmie was shot about 22:45 local time on Friday (02:45 GMT Saturday) at The Plaza Live in Orlando.

The gunman opened fire as she was signing autographs for fans with Before You Exit band.

The attacker, whose name has not been released, had two guns.

Orlando Police Department spokeswoman Wanda Miglio said Grimmie's brother "immediately tackled the suspect".

"During the struggle, the suspect shot himself. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene," the spokeswoman said.

She described Ms Grimmie's brother as a "hero" for stopping the attacker "from not hurting anyone else".

A police investigation is now under way into how the suspect had managed to enter the venue with the firearms.

News of the attack spread quickly on social media, with many fans voicing their shock and anger.

Ms Grimmie first came to prominence as a teenager for her renditions of hit songs, amassing a huge following on YouTube.

In 2011, she released her debut musical recording Find Me. Her second EP - Side A - followed in February 2016.

In her last tweet on Friday, she wrote:

Experiment 'turns waste CO2 to stone'

Image copyrightJUERG MATTER

Image captionThe experiment injected 220 tonnes of carbon dioxide several hundred metres underground

Scientists think they have found a smart way to constrain carbon dioxide emissions - just turn them to stone.

The researchers report an experiment in Iceland where they have pumped CO2 and water underground into volcanic rock.

Reactions with the minerals in the deep basalts convert the carbon dioxide to a stable, immobile chalky solid.

Even more encouraging, the team writes in Science magazine, is the speed at which this process occurs: on the order of months.

"Of our 220 tonnes of injected CO2, 95% was converted to limestone in less than two years," said lead author Juerg Matter from Southampton University, UK.

"It was a huge surprise to all the scientists involved in the project, and we thought, 'Wow! This is really fast'," he recalled on the BBC's Science In Action programme.

Image captionThe reactions in the volcanic rock produced immobile carbonates (white deposits)

With carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere marching ever upwards and warming the planet, researchers are keen to investigate so called "carbon capture and storage" (CCS) solutions.

Previous experiments have seen pure CO2 injected into sandstone, or deep, salty aquifers. Chosen sites - which have included disused oil and gas wells - have relied on layers of impermeable capping rocks to hold down the carbon dioxide. But the fear is always that the CO2 could find a way to leak back out into the atmosphere.

Image copyrightJUERG MATTER

Image captionCores were drilled to check on the progress of the subterranean reactions

The Carbfix project on Iceland, on the other hand, seeks to solidify the unwanted carbon in place.

Working with the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant outside Reykjavik, it combined the waste CO2 with water to make a slightly acidic liquid that was then sent hundreds of metres down into the volcanic basalts that make up so much of the North Atlantic island.

The low pH water (3.2) worked to dissolve the calcium and magnesium ions in the basalts, which then reacted with the carbon dioxide to make calcium and magnesium carbonates. Cores drilled into the experimental site pulled up rock with the tell-tale white carbonates occupying the pore spaces.

The researchers also tagged the CO2 with carbon-14, a radioactive form of the element. In this way, they were able to tell if any of the injected CO2 was leaking back to the surface or finding its way out through a distant watercourse. No such escape was detected.

"This means that we can pump down large amounts of CO2 and store it in a very safe way over a very short period of time," said study co-author Martin Stute from Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, US.

"In the future, we could think of using this for power plants in places where there's a lot of basalt - and there are many such places."

Dr Matter added: "You can find basalts on every continent and, certainly, you can find them offshore because all the oceanic crust - so below the seafloor - is all basaltic rocks. In terms of the availability of basaltic rocks to take care of CO2 emissions globally - no problem."

Image captionSome CCS experiments have pumped pure CO2 into sedimentary rocks (L) where the gas is trapped below an impermeable caprock. In CarbFix (R), the CO2 is dissolved in water and chemical reactions at depth then ensure nothing leaks back to the surface

There is, however, the issue of cost. Capture of the CO2 at power stations and other industrial complexes is expensive, and without incentives it is currently deemed to be uneconomic. The infrastructure needed to pump the gas to the burial site also has to be considered.

And in the case of the Carbfix approach, a substantial amount of water is required. Only something like 5% of the mass sent underground is CO2.

Christopher Rochelle is an expert on CCS at the British Geological Survey and was not involved in the Iceland experiment.

He said Carbfix underlined the importance of moving beyond modelling and lab studies to real-world demonstrations. Only by doing this can the technology readiness be properly assessed.

"We need to do more field-scale tests, like this one in Iceland, to better understand the types of processes that are ongoing and how fast they work," he told BBC News.

"Here, they injected into reactive rocks and the minerals precipitated relatively quickly and are then unable to migrate anywhere. That's great, but the rocks under Iceland are different to those under the North Sea, for example. So the approach that is taken is going to have to vary depending on where you are. We are going to need a portfolio of techniques."

The Hellisheidi geothermal power station has now moved beyond the experiment reported in Science magazine and is routinely injecting CO2 into the subsurface in larger quantities. The company is also burying hydrogen sulphide - another byproduct from the plant. This benefits the locals who have had to suffer the occasional waft of rotten eggs coming over their properties.

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.

READ MORE: The man behind Ronaldo's millions

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.

READ MORE: Djokovic says French Open 'most beautiful moment' of career

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.

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.

Here’s my full review of the iPhone 6s.

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.
