IPhone 6 and 6 plus durability and other tests...

IPhone 6 and 6 plus durability
The results from a number of tests


        
Apple’s new IPhone that came out on the 9th has run into some unintended consequences. Buyers are complaining about durability and other minor problems. Most complaints are coming from IPhone 6 users.

            After a little under a week people have noticed a flaw in the design. When users have placed their phone in their pocket and sat down multiple times it has given the phone a bending effect. They noticed this and reported it to Apple. Since the IPhone 6’s outer layer is made from aluminum it’s not the strongest material. Aluminum is prone to bending and not staying in a content place. Certain people have seen these complaints and tested it. Some results came out positive and some came out negative.It is obvious to see that not all phones are indestructible. The IPhone 6 will bend but it takes a lot of force. Apple has suggested that not keeping the phone in awkward positions in pockets will probably keep the slight bend from occurring. Just like every year apple comes out with their own durable cases for a new phone or iPod. I had watched a video on drop tests from pocket height, head height and 10 ft. with the case. The iPhone 6 and 6 plus both came out almost unharmed. So that proves that apple can create a case that is durable through lots of conditions.Now that video I saw with the cases was interesting but I saw another one. This drop test was with the IPhone 6 and 6 plus without cases being dropped from different heights and angles. Surprisingly the phones came out with a few cracks and dents but nothing major. After the results were taken note of the phones still worked.            My advice for the bending problem is to get a case and it will keep the phone in the same position so it won’t have that effect on the phone. We all know that phones can’t be perfect with no problems what so ever I think these problems are just minor compared to the phone over all. Apple has done it again surprising the world with a mind-blowing phone that no one saw coming. I believe they will continue to create high quality designs in their advanced technology in the mere future, another key product is going to be the watch allowing people to use a watch just like their phone.

                                             Clash of Clans

Clash of clans is a strategy-based game that anyone can play.
The concept is that you have to create the best base you can and you train troops to get resources that upgrade your defenses.

Tier one troops:

Barbarians rely only on his sword to destroy things.
 Archers rely only on her bow to take things down.
Goblins on the other hand attack only resources.

Tier two troops:

Giants are big guys that only attack defenses that are attacking your troops.
Wall Breakers are troops that break the walls of enemy defenses.
Balloons are a bomb-dropping skeleton in a hot air balloon that attacks from the air.
Wizards are one of the most powerful tier troops when upgrading using his wizard powers to take down enemy bases.

Tier three troops.

The healer troop is one of the most used it is a troop that flies in the air and heals other troops during battle.
The dragon is very self explanatory it’s a dragon that breathes fire and has lots of health.
A P.E.K.K.A is a giant troop that is resistant to lots of defenses and with just a few of them they could take out a whole base.

Spells:

A key factor to raiding is spells…

The first spell is a lightning spell that does great amounts of damage in a designated place.
The second spell is a healing spell it heals troops that are in the area of it.
The next spell is a rage spell it triples the health speed and damage of troops that go through it.

Last but not least is the Jump spell it allows troops to jump walls instead of breaking them.

Phone Technology

The Block Phone

There are more phones than just iPhones and galaxies. The newest upcoming technology is the block phone. The block phone allows you to edit your phone fitting your style. They wanted to reduce the amount of technology waste by allowing only the blocks to be the phone.
            It starts with the base and screen; you buy blocks to connect them to the base, which displays it on the screen. If you’re the kind that likes having a very large battery you can buy a bigger battery blocks. If you like it old school you can just have a big battery and good sound. This idea was first invented by https://phonebloks.com/en.  Soon enough Google became partners with them. After being partners for a while Google took the idea and made it better.  http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/15/5615880/building-blocks-how-project-ara-is-reinventing-the-smartphone           
            Other phones have a lot of UN needed elements; the block phone is straight to the point with the main components of the phone. With the unbeatable price at 50 dollars will bring buyers crawling. No one is not fully sure the release date. When this prototype is finished it will be revolutionary.                       

            Phonebloks made an idea that is going to change the way people look at smartphones. Apple and Samsung are unaware that they have a giant competition rising to the top.  Their only problem is getting all your apps and social media on to the phone without making bulk. Google and their partners are working very hard to get the prototype finished and out to the put out to the public.
