Many new owners of Apple iPhone 6 are reporting slanted crooked text on the back of their new devices. While some are not very bothered by it, those who are fond of perfection are now thinking of getting a replacement.

Some people are OCD for that kind of stuff and we believe they have every right of being so after spending hundreds of dollars on a fragile phone and standing in long queues.


To those seeking replacement for their iPhones with crooked text, keep in mind that when you replace one iphone with an issue, to only end up with another one that has a dead pixel, faulty home button etc.

So we finally have been using the new Apple iPhone 6 and we do like the ability to finally use third party keyboards. So we decided to try Swype on iPhone.

While we loved the added functionality and how everything works, we found something that should not be happening. Swype eats battery like a maniac who has been starving from many days.

Is it happening on your iPhones as well? I wonder how much power the the default keyboard uses though. It’s part of springboard, so it’s not measured, while Swype is an “app” so it is tracked by it.

According to a report by market watch, Apple is all set to bring its new Apple Pay mobile payment service to China. The company will be working in hand with the Union Pay of China to bring this service to the people.

For those who do not know about Union Pay, it is a government owned bank card association and has signed an agreement with Apple to let it use credit card in Apple Pay.

Release date of Apple Pay for USA is said to be sometime in October and it will come to China during the holiday season.

A working version of unreleased Apple iPhone 6 was leaked by our Chinese friends and it has already disappointed the tech community. We can already see what is new in this iPhone besides bigger display and chassis – Nothing.

Other than the iPhone 6 being able to pack two more rows of icons, it does nothing extra. We have been saying this for years now that Apple’s growth has stagnated and the interface is boring. It has not changed since the first iPhone.

It seems that other people are finally starting to think the same thing. However we are very sure that some people will be like OMG! one more row of icons.

OMG! one more row of icons

Also the apps on the home page look so small on that display. This phone, if what is to be released, its an existing design blown up to compete with the size of the Android devices.

We are extremely disappointed. This is not market innovation this is market regurgitation / stagnation to which they are just trying to catch up with Android. What is going to set this phone apart from android which, now holds the market share? We are very sure that the Windows Phone will surpass Apple’s market share by end of 2015.

Apple is clearly dependent on their blind fans and third party developers who are doing the dirty work and keeping the iPhone brand alive. The Cupertino giant should change their slogan to this now.

Yesterday’s technology at tomorrow’s prices.

The Bluetooth speaker category has reached its saturation but folks at iHome want to revive that category by their iBN6 waterpoof speakers. You can use these with your iPhone, iPad or iPod since all have built in Bluetooth radios.

Review: iHome iBN6 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

The iHome iBN6 costs 100 dollars and was shown off at CES 2014. There are there things that make the iHome iBN6 Bluetooth speaker so special. First is the fact that it IPX7 certified. Second it has a edgy new body and third, all of this is being offered at a very affordable price tag.

It measures 6 x 4.5 x 2.7 inches and has two 1.25 inch front facing drivers. There is also a 2.5 inch circular bass driver on its back.

You get a 3.5mm cable and micro USB charger in the box. The entire chassis is made of rubber that forms a grid of volume. 

So how is the sound quality? It is excellent thanks to the three speaker array iHome has been able to squeeze in three speakers inside its small chassis.

You can use it for phone calls and there are dedicated buttons for answering and ending phone calls on the unit.

Apple is now more serious about its iPod Touch lineup. The company has launched a new 16GB iPod Touch that has built in iSight camera. The new 16GB Apple iPod Touch will now sell for 199 dollars.

The company has also decreased the prices of the 32GB and 64GB models so the prices are down to $249 and $299 respectively.

Other than that nothing has been changed hardware or software wise.

The 16GB iPod Touch used to be sold for $199 which is 30 dollars less than yester year’s model which lacked iSight camera.
