iPhone 6S Review - Phones of 2015 Year in Review

Hotline Bling First off, a very Happy New Year to everyone! Let's make something of this brand-new wonderful fresh start!  Sappy motivational cliches aside, on Boxing Day - which is something of a Canadian Black Friday - having been sick of my painfully-slow Galaxy Note 3, I've had for the past two years (not my choice, it was a gift from my dad so I had to take it!), I picked up the new 6s; the last one at Best Buy! 16 GB, black and here's what I think of it. Having owned only iPhones all throughout my cellular life - until my last Android phone - I decided iOS is the only platform for me. As I wrote in an earlier article, with the android, you can really make the device your own. No two are alike. There are several brands offering phones running Google Android's 5.1 Popsicle or Krispy Kreme or whatever version is out now.  With Apple - there's only the iPhone. So every phone essentially looks the same. Yeah the iPhone has some insane cases available, ...

3 Second Steps to Taking a Better Picture

No need for editing - get picture-perfect photos with these three hacks!  Ever miss the moment by just so little that when you go back to take a look at the blurry photographs later, you can hardly tell what they were even supposed to be? I can tell you it's terribly annoying; and the quick fix isn't to just take a course to become a better photographer. That could take months and what good is it if you're taking a picture with your  smartphone - no tripods here and laughing hysterically throughout? That's exactly where these three tips come in. Starting with DSLRs With the advent of camera phones, now called "smartphones" - everyone has access to a pocket camera, that can take studio-quality photos. I've always loved taking pictures - namely of my dog. Back when there weren't any phones with build-in cameras, I asked for a camera for my birthday.

iPhone VS Android - Quick Review

This  or that? I used iOS 5 years before I got an android. It was a gift, actually - a Galaxy Note 3 that I've had for two years. I had an iPhone 5 before (I don't know where it is now) and loved it. iMessage, FaceTime, the camera, the display, all my apps and games - even unlocking the phone was fun (I'm lonely okay?) I never thought I could part from Apple's platform - then I got an Android for Christmas. I didn't ask for one, but my dad got the same phone and thoughtfully decided to get me one too. So, I've been stuck with it for two years - and I never thought I'd say this, but it's perfect for me! The stylus mostly. I'm an artist, so being able to write and sketch ideas on the go is amazing ; it's like a modern day Palm Pilot. I have (almost) the same apps as my iPhone (sans GTA III, Mass Effect Infiltrator and all my zombies games, unfortunately.) But which do I like better and who should go with what? I think...
