iPhone XR: The Display Is Fine!

Image result for iphone XR
Its September and like every year like clockwork Apple has come out with new iPhones and would it be an iPhone launch without some controversy. The iPhone X had the notch and the iPhone 7 didn't have a headphone jack. In true Apple fashion this year's iPhones have stirred up controversy, Well one of them.
Apple released the iPhone XS , the XS Max and the iPhone XR. With the two S models being the premium pricey phones that we've come to expect. The real wild card was the iPhone XR but in my personal opinion it is the best possible phone that we could have expected.

Why I'm Okay With The Display

Most in the tech industry upon knowing about the pixel density of the iPhone XR instantly compared it to the iPhone 4 from 2010. Yes on paper they both have the exact same specs. But paper rarely tells the whole story. While the pixels per inch have stayed the same the underlying technology behind the displays themselves have changed a lot. Starting with the backlights the backlight illumination of the display has seen a sea of change since the 2010 era. With each major iPhone release the ppi has more or less stayed the same but the difference in quality is staggering. Putting an iPhone 5s and an iPhone 6 and an iPhone 7 side by side illustrates this point. On the iPhone 7 Apple totally revamped the colour gamut of the display bringing it up to the P-3 standard. This allows for even more higher colour accuracy on their displays. With the iPhone 8 Apple built on this technology by adding True Tone which makes the display look more crisp and natural. On paper the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 8 have more or less the same display going by the specs. Put them side by side and it's not even close. This just goes to show you that Apple is constantly innovating with the display they just choose to not focus on flashy numbers but instead focus on things that makes the display intangibly better. With the iPhone XR this display looks to get even better with Apple calling it the "Most colour accurate display in the industry". It's not like people are not buying iPhone 7s or 8s. The displays are so good that the iPhone 8 was the worlds best selling phone last quarter. Keep in mind we're talking about the iPhone 8 not the plus model the regular iPhone 8 which supposedly has a display straight out of 2010. If the iPhone 8 had a really bad screen to the point to which it is unusable, I don't think that the iPhone 8 would have outsold phones which have twice the pixels per inch. Even in initial impression of the iPhone XR most onlookers have described the phone as a phone for media consumption with the 6.1 inch display and the stereo speaker pair. The biggest kicker is that the iPhone XR thanks to it's size and its lower resolution screen has the best battery life of any iPhone. This is a major selling point its not hard to think that there are people out there who prioritise battery life over how many pixels per inch a phone has. As with most things Apple sells the specs only tell half the story. So whats the bottom line? If you're okay with the iPhone 8 or iPhone 7 display, You'll love the iPhone XR.

What Is KaiOS? The Android Competitor You've Never Heard Of

When you think of the smartphone OS wars, we have two warring factions, Android and iOS. For about 5 years this was the way it's been. But in the distant past there were three smartphone Operating Systems. Android, iOS and Windows. The three way battle for OS supremacy raged on and before long the triopoly became a duopoly. With Windows phone being more or less dead the two major Operating systems only had each other to worry about for the longest time. Now the incumbents have a new kid on the block to worry about , KaiOS. But wait if KaiOS is so great how come no ones ever heard of it before? But First Some Background KaiOS is built on the ashes of the Firefox OS , For phones that aren't necessarily smart. You remember those old phones that you used to rock back in 2009? Yeah phones like those. The aim of KaiOS is to bring down the features of a smartphone down to a feature phone. So for that very same reason Kai...

Why I Love The iOS Files App

iOS has long been guilty of being terrible with files, You had third party file managers that promised to give you a great files experience. But most of them fell pitifully short, some did almost come close to being good but none came close to the flexibility and power that a file explorer on Android, Windows or MacOS could ever hope to give you.That all changed with the introduction of the files app on iOS 11. Why Bother With A Files App? Apple has been talking about  replacing the PC with an iPad for quite a while now and to truly replace a PC you need a few desktop features on iOS which is primarily a mobile OS. Ask anyone and they'll tell you that the ability to manipulate files is one of the most basic things that you'd expect a computer to do. After all one of the first GUI apps was a file explorer. So it makes sense to bring over the file explorer to iOS. But you just can't port finder over...

How Will The 6.5 Inch iPhone Be Different?

With the iPhone X out of the way we're now starting to focus on the iPhone X+ or whatever it will be called. With the iPhone X they couldn't really afford to come out with two new phones in 2017 as components such as FaceID and the whole manufacturing process was very constrained as it was a brand new design. But a year later Apple seems to have got a handle on things and seeing the great sales of the iPhone X, Apple seems to be ready to spread their wings into the + market. Why Differentiate At All? The iPhone X has been selling really well despite the rumours that state the contrary. A 6.5 inch plus model iPhone can really go a long way in keeping the lineup fresh and exciting. Just look at the Galaxy S8 and S9. Though great phones they lacked they didn't bring anything new and fresh to the table. Apple is in a unique advantageous position to bring something new to the table with the rumoured iPhone X+ .  Since the iPhone 7 people have flocked to the larger v...
