But every so often it might cause you a problem. Here’s a quick review of things you can try if your iPhone misbehaves.</p>\n<p>Start with the first step — suggestions in later steps are more drastic.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Restart your iPhone</strong>. For iPhones with Face ID, press the volume up button, press the volume down button, and then hold down the side button until the Apple logo appears. Then release the side button.For iPhones with Touch ID, press and hold down the top (or side) button and the Home button. When you see the Apple logo, release both buttons.</li>\n<li><strong>Force any frozen applications to quit</strong>. Swipe the app upward from the app switcher.</li>\n<li><strong>Reset the iPhone settings</strong>. Tap the Settings icon on your Home screen, and then tap General &#8211;&gt; Transfer or Reset iPhone &#8211;&gt; Reset &#8211;&gt; Reset All Settings.Resetting iPhone settings won’t erase your data, but you’ll probably have to change some settings afterwards.</li>\n<li><strong>Restore your iPhone</strong>. Connect your iPhone to your computer as though you were about to sync. Then select the iPhone in the iTunes source list (or Finder sidebar for macOS Catalina or later), and click the Restore button on the Summary tab.</li>\n</ol>\n<p class=\"article-tips warning\">The last suggestion erases all your data and media and resets all your settings.</p>\n<p>Because your data and media (except photos you’ve taken as well as contacts, calendar events, and playlists you’ve created or modified since your last sync) still exist on your computer, you shouldn’t lose anything.</p>\n<p>Your next sync will take longer, and you will have to reset any settings you’ve changed since you purchased your iPhone. But your media and data files shouldn’t be affected.</p>\n<p>One last thing: If you’re using iCloud, photos you’ve taken and calendar events and new contacts you’ve added since your last sync should be in the cloud and should reappear after you restore.</p>\n<p>The only items in danger, at least in theory, are playlists you’ve created on your iPhone since your last sync.

So without further ado, here are ten ways you can have some fun with Siri (we&#8217;ll try to avoid spoilers):</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Talk dirty to me.</li>\n<li>What are you wearing?</li>\n<li>What does “Siri” mean?</li>\n<li>Is God real?</li>\n<li>What is your best pickup line?</li>\n<li>What is zero divided by zero?</li>\n<li>When will the world end?</li>\n<li>How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?</li>\n<li>Why are fire trucks red?</li>\n<li>Will you marry me, Siri?</li>\n<li>(Bonus) Tell me a joke.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Be sure to try each phrase more than once — Siri has more than one amusing response to most of them.</p>\n<p>Finally, since you’ve been such a good reader, here’s a bonus.

The most current version of the operating system, as of December 2022, is iOS 16.\r\n\r\nIt’s helpful to understand which new features the latest models and iOS 16 bring to the table.\r\n<h2 id=\"tab1\" >Features of the latest models</h2>\r\nApple’s latest additions to the iPhone family are the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max. Like their predecessors, they're highly advanced smartphones that leave competitors in the dust. Following, are some of the key features of the latest iPhone models.\r\n<h3><strong>A15 and A16 Bionic chips</strong></h3>\r\nThe iPhone 14 and 14 Plus models include the A15 chip, while the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max receive the latest and greatest, the A16. The truly innovative tech in these models demands processors that can handle some heavy lifting while still being able to answer calls and retrieve email, and the A15 and A16 are both more than capable.\r\n<h3><strong>Dynamic Island (14 Pro and Pro Max models only)</strong></h3>\r\nNo, this isn’t the latest reality show craze, but rather a long-awaited innovation. iPhone models of late have sported a notch at the top of their screens where sensors, cameras, and other hardware reside.\r\n\r\nDynamic Island is a seamless pairing of hardware and software that effectively makes that area come alive with information for you, making it an upgraded notch with a twist, if you will. The notch appears to expand or contract, depending on the notifications, alerts, and other activities its currently tasked with. I hope this great update will find its way into other iPhone models moving forward.\r\n<h3><strong>Emergency SOS via Satellite and Crash Detection</strong></h3>\r\nApple has incorporated these two critically important new safety features into the iPhone 14 lineup. Emergency SOS via Satellite helps you reach emergency responders when you’re outside traditional cell or Wi-Fi service.\r\n\r\nCrash Detection utilizes new gyroscope and accelerometer tech in the latest models to detect when you’ve been in an automobile crash and will cause your iPhone to alert emergency services automatically. Both features are something you never want to need but are thankful to have.\r\n<h3><strong>Splash, water, and dust resistance</strong></h3>\r\nYour new iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, or 14 Pro Max is resistant to damage caused by water splashing onto it or from dust collecting in it. Now, you don’t want to take your iPhone 14 model deep-sea diving, but it’s likely to survive submersion in about six meters of water for up to 30 minutes. In other words, if your iPhone 14 model gets wet, it’s much more likely to survive the ordeal than older iPhone iterations, but it still isn't something you’d like to see happen to your expensive investment.\r\n<p class=\"article-tips tip\">You might consider acquiring AppleCare+, which is Apple’s extended warranty, currently priced at $149 (iPhone 14), $179 (14 Plus), or $199 (iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max) per year. Monthly plans are also available. AppleCare+ covers unlimited incidents of accidental damage (but you will be charged minimal fees, based on the nature of the repair), which could more than cover the cost of repairing your iPhone without it. You can also get AppleCare+ with theft and loss coverage for an additional $70 (all four models).</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Ceramic Shield</strong></h3>\r\nThe toughness and durability of Apple’s screens just keeps getting better. Ceramic Shield was developed by Apple and Corning, and according to them, it’s the toughest screen ever for a smartphone, making it four times more likely than other smartphones to survive a drop unscathed.\r\n<p class=\"article-tips warning\">Don’t think your iPhone is unbreakable. Cases are still a good — no, make that a great — idea. As mentioned, Apple has a line of cases that not only protect your iPhone but also allow for wireless MagSafe and Qi charging. (Qi is an industry-standard wireless charging technology used by Apple and most smartphone manufacturers.)</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"tab2\" >Features of iOS 16</h2>\r\nAny iPhone model from the iPhone 8 and newer (including the SE second generation, and all 11, 12, 13, and 14 models) can use most features of iOS 16 if you update the operating system. This update to the operating system adds many features, including (but definitely not limited to) the following.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>All-new lock screen:</strong> Apple’s taken a fresh approach to the lock screen, allowing you to customize it to your heart’s content. You can create lock screens for every occasion, switch between them in a snap, and include items like widgets, live activities, weather, and more.</li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Focus:</strong> Think of Focus as an extension of the Do Not Disturb feature. You can customize a focus to filter notifications based on what you’re doing at the moment. iOS 16 introduces new features like focus schedules, focus filters (imagine one for work and one for personal), and allow and silence lists for apps and contacts.</li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Photos:</strong> Photos in iOS 16 includes the new iCloud Shared Photo Library feature, which allows you to create a library of photos that you can share with others via iCloud. Other participants may also collaborate by adding their own photos to the library, providing a more complete memory experience for all. Everyone can also edit, delete, caption, and mark as a favorite any photo in the library.</li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Messages:</strong> The latest iteration of Messages finally allows you to select multiple messages at once (for example, if you want to delete several at one time), mark read messages as unread, edit messages you’ve already sent (up to 15 minutes after), and more. This is a nice upgrade, IMO.</li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Safari:</strong> Tab groups, a welcome new feature in iOS 15, allow you to group your open web pages any way you like. iOS 16 takes the feature a step further by allowing you to share tab groups and create pinned tabs in tab groups. It also introduces Passkeys, a new and more secure way to authenticate yourself on websites that require a password.</li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Maps:</strong> Maps now allows you to add multiple stops along your route. The new Transit Fares feature helps you calculate fares and other fees so you can better prepare for trip costs.</li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Health app:</strong> You can now use Health to track your medications, discover potential interaction issues, add medications by scanning the label on bottles, get reminders when it’s time to take medications, and more.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese are but a few of the improvements made to the latest version of iOS. I suggest visiting <a href=\"https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-16/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple's iOS 16 web page</a> to find out more.\r\n\r\nDon’t need all the built-in apps? You can remove them from your Home screen. When you remove a built-in app from your Home screen, you aren't deleting it — you’re hiding it. (Note that built-in apps take up very little of your iPhone’s storage space.)\r\n\r\nIf you change your mind, you can easily add them back to your Home screen by searching for them in the App Store and tapping the Get button, or by retrieving them from the App Library. How you recover them depends on the app; some allow you to hide them while others only let you relegate them to the App Library.\r\n\r\n ","description":"Apple’s iPhone gets its features from a combination of hardware and its software operating system, which is called <em>iOS</em> (short for <em>iPhone operating system</em>).

People are always looking for new ways to lose some weight and to get into better shape. Apple Watch will come in handy for health-conscious people who desire fast results but also quick feedback about how well they’re doing. Unlike many other smartwatches, Apple Watch goes above and beyond what others can do.</p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https://www.dummies.com/article/technology/electronics/wearables/apple-watches/how-to-use-the-workout-app-on-your-apple-watch-203269/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the built-in Workout app</a> lets you select from one of many exercises and a ton of real-time information is then calculated and presented for you.</p>\n<p>But the Apple Watch’s core fitness-related app is Activity. As the name suggests, the Activity app keeps track of everything physical you do throughout the day — and encourages you to keep moving with gentle reminders.</p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-274914\" src=\"https://www.dummies.com/wp-content/uploads/Apple-watch-main.jpg\" alt=\"Apple watch main screen\" width=\"357\" height=\"400\" /></p>\n<p>The Activity app gives you a visual snapshot of your daily activity. It’s broken down into three colored rings:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Move:</strong> The reddish-pink ring shows how many calories you’ve burned from moving.</li>\n<li><strong>Exercise:</strong> The lime-green ring shows how many minutes of brisk activity you’ve completed that day.</li>\n<li><strong>Stand:</strong> The baby-blue ring gives you a visual indication of how often you’ve stood up after sitting or reclining.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Your goal is to complete each ring each day by reaching the suggested amount of exercise. The more solid each ring is, the better you’re doing — and the closer you are to reaching your fitness goals.</p>\n<p>Before you begin any activity, however, Apple Watch needs to know a few essentials about you — namely, your gender, age, height, and weight — so that its numbers, such as estimated calories burned, can be accurate. For example, an 8-year-old female burns calories at a different rate than a 65-year-old male.</p>\n<p>The following sections offer a closer look at each Activity ring.</p>\n<h3><strong>Move</strong></h3>\n<p>The Activity app’s Move ring tells you how well you’re doing based on your personal active calorie burn goal for the day. For example, the default goal is 600 calories per day, which is a couple of hours of walking around a shopping mall. If that’s too easy to reach or, on the flipside, too ambitious, you can easily make necessary adjustments to suit your needs.</p>\n<p>To access and use the Move tab in the Activity app, follow these steps:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Press the Digital Crown button to access your Home screen.</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Tap the multicolored Activity app.</strong><br />\nOr raise your wrist and say “Hey, Siri, Activity.” Either action launches the Activity app and you should see the Activity app’s main (summary) screen.</li>\n<li><strong>Swipe up for a deeper dive.</strong><br />\nMove tells you how much you’ve moved during the day. The red number is your current estimated calories burned. The smaller red number underneath is the percentage of your daily goal.</p>\n<p>You can change your caloric goal in the Activity app by pressing on the watch screen (Digital Touch) and selecting a new goal. Press + or – to set your desired goal. You can also change your Exercise and Stand goals in the same fashion.</li>\n<li><strong>Swipe down on the screen to see a History graph with each hour of the day presented and how well you’ve done per hour (highlighted by a vertical line).</strong><br />\nThe taller the pinkish bar, the more you moved that hour.</li>\n</ol>\n<h3><strong>Exercise</strong></h3>\n<p>Whether you want to do something active in one shot — such as jogging on the treadmill after work — or a little bit here and there, it’s recommended you do at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. What constitutes “exercise,” you ask? How is this different from mere “moving?&#8221; Any activity at the level of a brisk walk or above is considered exercise, says Apple.</p>\n<p>To access and use the Exercise tab in the Activity app, follow these steps:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Press the Digital Crown button to access your Home screen.</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Tap the Activity app.</strong><br />\nOr raise your wrist and say “Hey, Siri, Activity.” Either action launches the Activity app and you should see the Activity app’s main (summary) screen.</li>\n<li><strong>Swipe up to see your exercise info.</strong><br />\nYou should see a green number in the middle of the screen. This is the total exercise time calculated for the day so far. Underneath this number is the total goal for the day (such as 30 minutes).</p>\n<p>You will also see a percentage of you how close you are to your overall daily goal. To change your goals, press firmly on the screen and tap + or – to set your desired goal.</li>\n<li><strong>Swipe down for your History graph, which shows your hourly activity level — measured in minutes — for when you were most active.</strong><br />\nAs you might expect, the higher the line on the graph, the better. Even if you exercise a little here and a little there, every bit helps and goes toward your daily time goal.</li>\n</ol>\n<h3><strong>Stand</strong></h3>\n<p>Many people have jobs where they sit for a good chunk of the day. Sound familiar? Apple’s Stand ring within the Activity app will remind you to move at least once per hour so you get up and walk around. By default, you’ll be notified about 50 minutes into each hour of sitting idle.</p>\n<p>To access and use the Stand tab in the Activity app, follow these steps:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Press the Digital Crown button to access your Home screen.</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Tap the Activity app.</strong><br />\nOr raise your wrist and say “Hey, Siri, Activity.” Either action launches the Activity app and you should see the Activity app’s main (summary) screen.</li>\n<li><strong>Swipe up to see your Stand data.</strong><br />\nIn blue, you’ll see how many hours you were standing (at least one minute per hour). There is also a percentage shown, in blue, of how you’re doing against your total goal hours for the day (such as 12).</li>\n<li><strong>Swipe down to access the History graph.</strong><br />\nYou should see the day laid out chronologically and a full vertical bar for any hour you stood (for at least a minute per hour).</li>\n</ol>\n"},{"title":"Getting turn-by-turn directions on your Apple Watch","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>Apple Maps — or simply Maps — is one of the built-in Apple Watch apps. As you might expect, it allows you to get directions from your current location to a destination of your choosing, with the app calculating the best route.</p>\n<p>You should see — and feel — the turn-by-turn navigation instructions to guide you along the way, and you can always search for nearby businesses, such as a restaurant or a gas station, simply by asking Siri for it.</p>\n<p>To use the Maps app on your Apple Watch, follow these steps:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Press the Digital Crown button to go to your Home screen.</strong></li>\n<li><strong> Tap the Maps app. </strong>Or raise your wrist and say “Hey, Siri, Maps.” Either action opens the Maps app.</li>\n<li><strong> Tap the Search window and type out (or tap microphone to speak) the destination address</strong>.

Your iPhone doesn’t have to be connected to power.</li>\n<li>To enable the ability to speak commands to Siri, go to Settings&#8211;&gt;Siri&#8211;&gt;Listen for “Hey Siri” and toggle the switch on (green).</li>\n<li>Be reminded about an event or a task. For example, if you’re viewing a Calendar event, engage Siri and say “remind me about this” and it gets added to your Reminders app. You can also tell Siri when to remind you, if you’d like to set a specific time.</li>\n<li>Check out sports scores by asking Siri how your team did. You can ask “How did Notre Dame do yesterday?” or “Did the Houston Rockets lose again yesterday?” Siri will give you the scores. You can even find rankings, what time and on what channel a sporting event is appearing, and more. Just ask!</li>\n<li>Let Siri end your calls for you; it comes in handy if you’re using headphones or earbuds and your phone is in your pocket. When you’re ready to end the call, simply say, “Hey, Siri, hang up” and you’re done. The only caveat is that the people you’re on the call with will hear you issue the command to Siri, but I don’t think they’ll mind.</li>\n<li>Open an app with a simple command. For example, say “Open Netflix.” The Netflix app will open (if it’s installed, of course).</li>\n<li>Convert measurements on the go. Ask something like “How many liters are in a gallon?” or “How many millimeters is 5.5 meters?” The inimitable Siri tells you in an instant.</li>\n<li>Tell Siri which song or artist you’d like to listen to, and it’ll happen. Say “Play Purple Rain” or “I’d like to listen to Fleetwood Mac.” The song or artist will begin playing. You could also say “Stop playing music” to pause the song.</li>\n<li>Siri can help you determine how much of a tip to leave your server. Say “How much is an 18 percent tip for a $34.36 bill?” Siri will promptly tell you to give $6.18.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>There is much, much more that Siri can do.

There was a dark time (some call it "the '80s") where knowledge of electronics was deemed dorky and out of touch. Luckily, those times are long gone. Check out our articles on the latest electronic devices and components.

iPhones How to Choose the Right iPhone 14 for You

Article / Updated 12-22-2022

A variety of iPhone models are on the market; it can be daunting when trying to decide which one you want to purchase. In this article, I focus on Apple’s newest models, the iPhone 14 series. If you’d like to explore others, Apple has a great tool on its website for making comparisons. The sizes of the latest iPhone 14 models vary: iPhone 14 measures 2.82" by 5.78" (6.1" diagonally) with a depth of .31 inch (smaller of the phones on the left in the image below). iPhone 14 Plus measures 3.07" by 6.33" (6.7" diagonally) with a depth of .31 inch (larger of the phones on the left in the image below). iPhone 14 Pro measures 2.81" by 5.81" (6.1" diagonally) with a depth of .31 inch (smaller of the phones on the right in the image below). iPhone 14 Pro Max measures 3.05" by 6.33" (6.7" diagonally) with a depth of .31 inch (larger of the phones on the right in the image below). You can get iPhone 14 and 14 Plus in starlight, midnight, blue, purple, and a beautiful product red version. iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max come in gold, silver, space black, and a great-looking deep purple. Why the iPhone 14 is worth buying Not sure whether to get an iPhone 14 model? Here are a few more key differences: All iPhone 14 models include upgraded batteries. You get up to 20 hours of video playback for iPhone 14, up to 23 hours for 14 Pro, 26 hours for 14 Plus, and a whopping 29 hours for 14 Pro Max. iPhone 14 models use eSIMs instead of physical SIMs. A SIM stores important information about your phone and your cellular provider network. Physical SIMs can be moved from phone to phone, but eSIMs are permanently built-in. All models received camera upgrades. iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max have triple rear-facing cameras, providing amazing optical zoom, portrait mode, and other features. The 14 and 14 Plus have dual rear-facing cameras. Screen resolution. The higher the resolution the better, especially for larger screens since you need to pack more pixels (the tiny dots of color that make up the images) into a larger space. The iPhone 14 offers 2532 x 1170 resolution; 14 Plus provides 2778 x 1284 resolution; 14 Pro boasts 2556 x 1179; and 14 Pro Max provides a stunning 2796 x 1290. The table below gives you a quick comparison of the iPhone SE (third generation), 12, 13, 13 mini, 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max (models currently sold by Apple). All costs are as of the time this book was written. (Some carriers may introduce non-contract terms.) iPhone Model Comparison Model Storage Cost (may vary by carrier) Carriers SE (third generation) 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB From $429 AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile 12 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB From $599 AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile 13 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB From $699 AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile 13 mini 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB From $599 AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile 14 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB From $799 AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile 14 Plus 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB From $899 AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile 14 Pro 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB From $999 AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile 14 Pro Max 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB From $1,099 AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile Other differences between iPhone models come primarily from the current operating system, iOS 16. One exciting pricing option is the iPhone Upgrade Program. You choose your carrier, get an unlocked phone so you can change carriers, and receive Apple Care+ to cover you in case your phone has problems, all starting at a cost of $39.50 a month (depending on the iPhone model you select). The price does not include data usage from your carrier. Decide How Much Storage Is Enough Storage is a measure of how much information — for example, movies, photos, and software applications (apps) — you can store on a computing device. Storage can also affect your iPhone’s performance when handling such tasks as streaming favorite TV shows from the web or downloading music. Streaming refers to playing video or music content from the web (or from other devices) rather than playing a file stored on your iPhone. You can enjoy a lot of material online without ever downloading its full content to your phone — and given that the most storage-endowed iPhone model has a relatively small amount of storage, streaming is a good idea. Your storage options with an iPhone 14 or 14 Plus are 128, 256, and 512 gigabytes (GB), while 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max have 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB (terabyte, which is 1000GB). You must choose the right amount of storage because you can’t open the unit and add more, as you usually can with a desktop computer. However, Apple has thoughtfully provided iCloud, a service you can use to back up content to the internet. How much storage is enough for your iPhone? Here are some guidelines: If you simply want to check email, browse the web, and keep your calendar up to date, and you enjoy communicating via voice, video, and instant messaging, 128GB likely is plenty. For most people who manage a reasonable number of photos, download some music, and watch heavy-duty media such as movies online, 256GB may be sufficient. But if you might take things up a notch regarding media consumption and creation in the future (such as the newest grandchild being on the way soon), you should seriously consider 512GB. If you like lots of media, such as movies or TV shows, you might need 512GB or 1TB. For example, shooting 4K video at 60 frames per second will take roughly 1GB of storage space for every two and a half minutes of footage. If you shoot a lot of video, 1TB of storage might be more appealing. Do you know how big a gigabyte (GB) is? Consider this: Just about any computer you buy today comes with a minimum of 256GB of storage. Computers have to tackle larger tasks than iPhones, so that number makes sense. The iPhone, which uses a technology called flash storage for storing data, is meant (to a great extent) to help you experience online media and email; it doesn’t have to store much since it pulls lots of content from the internet. In the world of storage, 64GB for any kind of storage is puny if you keep lots of content (such as audio, video, and photos) on the device. What’s the price for larger storage? iPhone 14, a 128GB unit costs $799, 256GB is $899, and 512GB will set you back $1,099. iPhone 14 Plus with 128GB goes for $899, 256GB at $899, and 512GB for $1,199. iPhone 14 Pro with 128GB is $999, 256GB is $1,099, 512GB goes for $1,299, and the model tops out at $1,499 for 1TB. Not to be outdone, iPhone 14 Pro Max is the priciest: $1,099 for 128GB, $1,199 for 256GB, $1,399 for 512GB, and $1,599 for 1TB. Note that prices may vary by carrier and where you buy your phone.

iPhones Discover iPhone 14 Models and iOS 16

Article / Updated 12-22-2022

Apple’s iPhone gets its features from a combination of hardware and its software operating system, which is called iOS (short for iPhone operating system). The most current version of the operating system, as of December 2022, is iOS 16. It’s helpful to understand which new features the latest models and iOS 16 bring to the table. Features of the latest models Apple’s latest additions to the iPhone family are the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max. Like their predecessors, they're highly advanced smartphones that leave competitors in the dust. Following, are some of the key features of the latest iPhone models. A15 and A16 Bionic chips The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus models include the A15 chip, while the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max receive the latest and greatest, the A16. The truly innovative tech in these models demands processors that can handle some heavy lifting while still being able to answer calls and retrieve email, and the A15 and A16 are both more than capable. Dynamic Island (14 Pro and Pro Max models only) No, this isn’t the latest reality show craze, but rather a long-awaited innovation. iPhone models of late have sported a notch at the top of their screens where sensors, cameras, and other hardware reside. Dynamic Island is a seamless pairing of hardware and software that effectively makes that area come alive with information for you, making it an upgraded notch with a twist, if you will. The notch appears to expand or contract, depending on the notifications, alerts, and other activities its currently tasked with. I hope this great update will find its way into other iPhone models moving forward. Emergency SOS via Satellite and Crash Detection Apple has incorporated these two critically important new safety features into the iPhone 14 lineup. Emergency SOS via Satellite helps you reach emergency responders when you’re outside traditional cell or Wi-Fi service. Crash Detection utilizes new gyroscope and accelerometer tech in the latest models to detect when you’ve been in an automobile crash and will cause your iPhone to alert emergency services automatically. Both features are something you never want to need but are thankful to have. Splash, water, and dust resistance Your new iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, or 14 Pro Max is resistant to damage caused by water splashing onto it or from dust collecting in it. Now, you don’t want to take your iPhone 14 model deep-sea diving, but it’s likely to survive submersion in about six meters of water for up to 30 minutes. In other words, if your iPhone 14 model gets wet, it’s much more likely to survive the ordeal than older iPhone iterations, but it still isn't something you’d like to see happen to your expensive investment. You might consider acquiring AppleCare+, which is Apple’s extended warranty, currently priced at $149 (iPhone 14), $179 (14 Plus), or $199 (iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max) per year. Monthly plans are also available. AppleCare+ covers unlimited incidents of accidental damage (but you will be charged minimal fees, based on the nature of the repair), which could more than cover the cost of repairing your iPhone without it. You can also get AppleCare+ with theft and loss coverage for an additional $70 (all four models). Ceramic Shield The toughness and durability of Apple’s screens just keeps getting better. Ceramic Shield was developed by Apple and Corning, and according to them, it’s the toughest screen ever for a smartphone, making it four times more likely than other smartphones to survive a drop unscathed. Don’t think your iPhone is unbreakable. Cases are still a good — no, make that a great — idea. As mentioned, Apple has a line of cases that not only protect your iPhone but also allow for wireless MagSafe and Qi charging. (Qi is an industry-standard wireless charging technology used by Apple and most smartphone manufacturers.) Features of iOS 16 Any iPhone model from the iPhone 8 and newer (including the SE second generation, and all 11, 12, 13, and 14 models) can use most features of iOS 16 if you update the operating system. This update to the operating system adds many features, including (but definitely not limited to) the following. All-new lock screen: Apple’s taken a fresh approach to the lock screen, allowing you to customize it to your heart’s content. You can create lock screens for every occasion, switch between them in a snap, and include items like widgets, live activities, weather, and more. Focus: Think of Focus as an extension of the Do Not Disturb feature. You can customize a focus to filter notifications based on what you’re doing at the moment. iOS 16 introduces new features like focus schedules, focus filters (imagine one for work and one for personal), and allow and silence lists for apps and contacts. Photos: Photos in iOS 16 includes the new iCloud Shared Photo Library feature, which allows you to create a library of photos that you can share with others via iCloud. Other participants may also collaborate by adding their own photos to the library, providing a more complete memory experience for all. Everyone can also edit, delete, caption, and mark as a favorite any photo in the library. Messages: The latest iteration of Messages finally allows you to select multiple messages at once (for example, if you want to delete several at one time), mark read messages as unread, edit messages you’ve already sent (up to 15 minutes after), and more. This is a nice upgrade, IMO. Safari: Tab groups, a welcome new feature in iOS 15, allow you to group your open web pages any way you like. iOS 16 takes the feature a step further by allowing you to share tab groups and create pinned tabs in tab groups. It also introduces Passkeys, a new and more secure way to authenticate yourself on websites that require a password. Maps: Maps now allows you to add multiple stops along your route. The new Transit Fares feature helps you calculate fares and other fees so you can better prepare for trip costs. Health app: You can now use Health to track your medications, discover potential interaction issues, add medications by scanning the label on bottles, get reminders when it’s time to take medications, and more. These are but a few of the improvements made to the latest version of iOS. I suggest visiting Apple's iOS 16 web page to find out more. Don’t need all the built-in apps? You can remove them from your Home screen. When you remove a built-in app from your Home screen, you aren't deleting it — you’re hiding it. (Note that built-in apps take up very little of your iPhone’s storage space.) If you change your mind, you can easily add them back to your Home screen by searching for them in the App Store and tapping the Get button, or by retrieving them from the App Library. How you recover them depends on the app; some allow you to hide them while others only let you relegate them to the App Library.

Amazon Fire How Does the Amazon Fire TV Stick Work?

Article / Updated 11-04-2022

Listen to the article:Download audio What is the Amazon Fire TV Stick? The Amazon Fire TV Stick is a device joining the ranks of home entertainment streaming technologies. The Fire Stick plugs into your TV’s HDMI port giving you access to your favorite TV shows, movies, subscription services, music, photos, and games. The Fire TV Stick houses all of your favorite content and is easily transportable, so you can take your media anywhere! What you get with the Fire TV Stick Imagine being able to take your TV with you when you go on vacation. That’s the functionality you get with the Fire TV Stick. The Fire TV Stick houses all of your content and is completely portable. Simply remove your device and take it with you when you travel. Plug it into any compatible TV to gain instant access to all of your favorite videos. If you are an Amazon Prime member, your Fire TV Stick comes pre-registered to your account. You have immediate access to all of your Amazon Prime content as soon as you plug your Fire TV Stick into your HDMI port. Being a Prime member also lets you choose from a cache of Amazon Originals that cannot be accessed by the average user. When you receive your box from Amazon, you will have everything you need to make the Fire TV Stick work. In the box you will find your new Fire TV Stick, the remote, a USB cable and power adapter, HDMI extender, 2 AAA batteries, and a guide to get you started. In addition, you get the following features: 1 GB of memory 8 GB of internal storage Optional voice support Dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi A dedicated VideoCore4 GPU How the Fire TV Stick works The Amazon Fire TV Stick rivals other popular streaming devices like the Roku and Chromecast. How does the Amazon Fire TV Stick work? Your Fire Stick plugs into your HDMI TV via USB port, connects via Wi-Fi, and comes equipped with a Bluetooth remote. Simply plug your Fire Stick in and you will be directed through the setup process and prompted to sign into your Amazon account. The Fire Stick is a central repository for all your content. Once logged on, you will have access to any music and videos purchased through your Amazon account. In addition, you can view any pictures uploaded to your Amazon Cloud service. Using your device, you also have access to thousands of apps and games. For instance, you can use your Fire TV Stick to open the Netflix app and watch trending Netflix videos. Or, open YouTube and browse the latest uploads from your favorite vlogger. Other services like HBO Now, ESPN, and Hulu can also be accessed with your Fire TV Stick at a cost. However, even with the fee, you get the advantage of being able to choose your preferred services instead of being tied into a cable package. Games are also available. But, you will need a controller which is only available for purchase through Amazon. Fire TV Stick vs. Fire TV Amazon offers a Fire Stick and Fire TV. These products offer the same services and both come equipped with a Bluetooth remote. So, what's the difference? Size: The Fire TV Stick is far smaller than the Fire TV. The Fire Stick is about three inches long and plugs into your TV. Fire TV is a square console that, while sleek, is about four and half inches long on each side. If you prefer the minimalist look, the Fire TV Stick is the winner. Cost: You will find that the Fire Stick is the cheaper option. The Fire Stick costs $39.99 while the Fire TV will set you back $99. Speed: The Fire Stick will give you 1 GB of RAM, while the Fire TV offers 2 GB of RAM, making the Fire TV more responsive. If you're a serious gamer, you might want to go for the Fire TV to avoid lags and frustration in loading speeds. Additional ports and storage: With the Fire TV Stick, you won't have options for expansion. The Fire TV console has a USB port, Ethernet port, and microSD slot, making it easier to store and access content. Capabilities: The Fire TV stick can support your watching habits up to 1080p. Fire TV is enabled for 4K streaming. With the trend leaning toward 4K TVs, the Fire TV might be a better option if you are looking to upgrade or already have. Although, if you haven't (or don't plan) to go the 4K route anytime soon, the Fire TV's capabilities and portability factor make it a perfectly adequate choice for those just wanting to stream their favorite shows. Evaluate your needs and budget before determining which Fire TV option is right for you. Why you need the Fire TV Stick When people hear the phrase “streaming technology,” most groan and think about how they just want watching TV to be easy. Well, the Fire TV Stick makes it simple. Only now, instead of searching through those horizontal bars of endless TV shows, you can access what you want to see, when you want to see it. For easier searching, the Fire TV Stick offers voice control using Amazon's Alexa. You can get this capability two ways. Simply press the black button and speak your choice. If that extra cost doesn’t appeal to you, you can download the free Fire TV Remote app on your phone. Using your phone’s native voice prompts, you can speak your choice and your phone will relay your choice to the Fire Stick. Why else would you want the Fire TV Stick? Well, it learns. Or rather, it uses your preferences to make predictions about what you might like. Using ASAP (Advanced Streaming and Prediction), the Fire TV Stick offers you choices of related programming based on your previous watches.

Graphing Calculators Store Variables with the TI-84 Plus Calculator

Article / Updated 10-19-2022

The letters STO may look like texting language, but the TI-84 Plus calculator's STO key is a handy feature to have around. If you plan to use the same number many times when evaluating arithmetic expressions, consider storing that number in a variable. To do so, follow these steps: If necessary, press [2nd][MODE] to enter the Home screen. Enter the number you want to store in a variable. You can store a number or an arithmetic expression. Press The result of this action is shown in the first screen. Press [ALPHA] and press the key corresponding to the letter of the variable in which you want to store the number. The letters used for storing variables are the letters of the alphabet and the Greek letter theta. Press [ENTER] to store the value. This is illustrated in the second screen. Insert your stored variable into an expression After you have stored a number in a variable, you can insert that number into an expression. To do so, place the cursor where you want the number to appear, press [ALPHA], and press the key corresponding to the letter of the variable in which the number is stored. See the third screen. The number you store in a variable remains stored in that variable until you or the calculator stores a new number in that variable. Because the calculator uses the letters X, T, and the Greek theta when graphing functions, parametric equations, and polar equations, it is possible that the calculator will change the value stored in these variables when the calculator is in graphing mode. For example, if you store a number in the variable X and ask the calculator to find the zero of the graphed function X2, the calculator will replace the number stored in X with 0, the zero of X2. So avoid storing values in these three variables if you want that value to remain stored in that variable after you have graphed functions, parametric equations, or polar equations.

Graphing Calculators How to Enter Functions on the TI-84 Plus

Article / Updated 10-19-2022

Before you can graph a function on your TI-84 Plus calculator, you must enter it into the calculator. The calculator can handle up to ten functions at once, Y1 through Y9 and Y0. To enter functions in the calculator, perform the following steps: Press [MODE] and put the calculator in Function mode. To highlight an item in the Mode menu, use the keys to place the cursor on the item and then press [ENTER]. Highlight FUNCTION in the fourth line to put the calculator in Function mode. See the first screen. Press ! to access the Y= editor. See the second screen. Enter your function. If necessary, press [CLEAR] to erase a previous function entry. Then enter your function. Your math textbook may use a function notation like this: f(x)=2x+1. To graph a function in your calculator, you must realize f(x) is interchangeable with y, only the notation differs. See the third screen. When you’re defining functions, the only symbol the calculator allows for the independent variable is the letter X. Press to enter this letter in your function. As a timesaver, when entering functions in the Y= editor, you can reference another function. Use the shortcut Y-VAR menu to paste a function name in the function you’re entering in the Y= editor. Just press [ALPHA][TRACE] and choose the name of the function you want to insert in your equation. See the first screen. How does calling up the name of another function save you time? Well, say you’re trying to graph a circle in your calculator with the equation x2 + y2 = 36. Of course, you need to solve the equation for y to graph the circle equation in your calculator. Solving for y gives you: Notice, it takes two functions to graph a circle! No problem. In function Y1 enter Then, to save time, use the shortcut Y–VAR menu to enter Y2 = –Y1. See the second screen.
