There is more to the iPhone 6 than meets the eye, and the true savvy users should know all about the neat tips and tricks the phone has to offer.
The Fuse Joplin just shared 10 not-so-well-known secret functions of the iPhone 6 that would help make users' life much simpler, convenient, and even fun.
The iPhone 6 charges faster with the iPad charger.
A recent study conducted by iLounge revealed that the 2.1A power supply on an iPad charger lets the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus charge up for only two hours, compared to the usual four hours with the 1A power charger it came with.
It has a 30-day saving grace for deleted photos.
Ever deleted a photo and immediately wished you hadn't? The iPhone 6 has the power to resurrect deleted photos! Well, those within the 30-day grace period anyway. It has a "Recently Deleted Album" section which stores photos deleted since 30 days ago. Just click on "restore" and the photo will make its way back to the original folder.
iPhone 6 can let users find out about planes flying overhead.
While this function does not seem significant, it is still fun to try out nonetheless. Use the voice command and say, "Planes overhead" and the iPhone 6 will immediately provide details of all the planes currently plying up in the air.
The iPhone 6 can send photos that self-destructs.
This option is pretty cool and available for other users via iMessage only. If you want to send a photo that can self-destruct in a given time, simply hold on the camera icon continuously while sending the photo. This will enable the snapchat camera app, which will allow the user to send photos to another person that will self-destruct after two minutes, ala Mission Impossible style.
Act like a teacher and give Siri a couple or so pointers about pronunciation.
It seems like Siri is the one who knows everything while the users just rely on her knowledge. But the iPhone 6 allows tables to be turned. When Siri makes a wrong pronunciation, the user can simply tell her that it's wrong and she will offer several options in which she can pronounce the word correctly.
Use the volume button to snap a picture.
Many users find it difficult to capture a photo using the button provided, but iPhone 6 makes things simpler since the volume button will manage that just fine.
There's a vibration customization!
People are so used to having different ringtones for different contacts but the iPhone 6 takes things one notch higher with a vibration customization. Just head to your Contact List, click on Settings, Sound, Ringtone, Vibration, then Create New Vibration.
Use a single tap to add web suffixes.
When typing a web address, hold the "." button at the bottom left corner of the keyboard and a list showing the possible web suffixes such as com, edu, org, etcetera will automatically pop up.
The iPhone 6 can fill in credit card details automatically with just a scan!
Anything a user buys from Safari, the iPhone 6 can help speed up the process with just a scan of the credit card using the phone's camera. The phone will retrieve the information and fill it up automatically.
It has a more comprehensive calendar.
By turning the iPhone into a landscape position, the calendar app will add in some flesh on the calendar details being shown.
