But on tapping the shutter, the video recording stops to allow the camera to snap the photos. Nonetheless, it’s no longer that way. You can now record that magic moment and snap photos as well. Next to the shutter button, there’s a camera button, which you’ll use. Though you’ll not use the true photo sensor, the snapshots should still be excellent.

We all love pictures. For this reason, iPhone has taken care of the technology. Not only can you snap those stunning moments but you can also turn them into unforgettable living memories. Now, with your iPhone 6 and 6s, you can breathe more life into your photos. What this means is that you can make your photos more vivid by recording some moments before and after the picture.

The best way to record a magical moment is to identify a single object. Then position your iPhone on a static posture and tap the shutter button. Of importance, remember to hold your phone static for a moment until the ‘sun-like’ icon appears and disappears.

To view your life pictures, just hard press anywhere on the photo. Identically, you can then set these live photos as your wallpaper. Hard pressing them on your lock screen will also make them move.

To set a live photo as your animated wallpaper, go to wallpaper, select the live photo from the camera roll and hit set.

Moreover, you can share your live photos with your friends. Sharing can be done through messaging, airdrop, Bluetooth or even flash share. Those who are yet to upgrade to iPhone 6 or 6s plus can also view your live photos. They can play them as a video.

On the other hand, note that live photos are almost double the usual pictures. For this reason, they take up more of your phone’s space.

To turn live photos on or off, just tap the ‘sun-like’ icon on the camera app. You should then get a notification of this at the top of the screen.

Also, you can use your iPhone’s up and down buttons. As a matter of fact, this allows you to take more clear images.

We are now in a new ‘generation of multi-touch’. What this means is that you can jump directly to an app avoiding all the taps and swipes. The 3D feature now enables you to navigate through your apps faster and intelligently.

Unlike the previous generations of Apple, the apps now have the Quick Action feature. Consequently, there are fewer taps and swipes. Markedly, you can jump from one app to the other.

3D works by minimizing the number of taps significantly. For instance, if you want to take a selfie, just long press the camera app on the home screen. The quick actions menu will appear.

Are you so conscious of time? Do you need to keep on timing things? Then this goodness fits you. You can now control your alarm from the control center.

Want to know the latest news about iPhone 7, its likely features and possible date of release?

Want to know the latest news about iPhone 7, its likely features and possible date of release?

Here is a collection of all that is there. The world is anticipating greater changes. Much because besides the 3D feature, iPhone 6s lacks anything else to be so enthusiastic about.

iPhone 7 just around the corner

For the die-hard fans of iPhones, this is the best time to make a pre-order of the iPhone 7. We are also anticipating the release of only two models; the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus. Word has it that Apple will release them in about two weeks’ time. Apple is yet to disclose the exact time. However, a lot of evidence suggests that this will take time soon.

Furthermore, Apple releases most of its products around this time. @evleaks and Mark Gurman suggest that this event is likely to be between 7 and 12 of September.

Rumor also has it that entry price will later shoot. However, it is of equal importance to note that iPhone 7 is likely to have 32GB and not the usual 16GB.

Changes in the exterior design

We are also expecting some changes on the exterior design. Identically, apart from a few changes here and there on the chassis, iPhone 7 will resemble the iPhone 6s. However, we anticipate it to have fewer antenna bands. In the same way, we do not expect to find the headphone jack again. Consequently, iPhone 7 will lack the old fashioned audio plug. This will be on a quest to make these models more water resistant. We are expecting the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus to come with a tiny headphone jack adapter.

Reliable sources also suggest that this idol will have dual speakers. As a result, there will be an improvement in its sound for those who love music and movies.

Another significant change that we expect is the much different home button. Distinct from the previous products, iPhone 7 home button will be pressure sensitive. In other words, it will do away with the mechanical home button. It will rely on haptic feedback. This technology will allow these devices to respond to the users’ inputs through vibrations. With the removal of the headphone jack and the traditional home button, we expect that iPhone 7 will be much thinner.

14% increase in battery capacity

Doing away with the headphone jack will give the iPhone 7 more space. It is more likely that this space will allow for more complex internal hardware. In fact, an Apple source confirms that this space will allow newer chipsets leading to higher battery capacities. Furthermore, we also expect it to come with a bigger battery. Moreover, the battery will be able to charge much faster.

Images will be clearer

It is not clear whether Apple has the intention of adding some megapixel on iPhone 7. However, sources indicate that Apple plans to add optical image stabilization. Moreover, it is more likely that have a larger lens camera system. Additionally, we expect iPhone 7 to have an excellent zooming capability than the previous models.

Lightning downloads and Internet surfing

Rumors are all over that Apple will do away with Qualcomm’s LTE. It will reportedly go for Intel LTE modem chips. So, this will see a serious boost in downloads in some days. Moreover, we also expect iPhone 7 to feature A10 chip. A10 chip is a faster processor compared to the one in previous models.

IPhone 7 to be more water resistant

The most likely photos of iPhone 7 are surfacing on the Internet. The images show that the iPhone may have an IP68 feature. This feature will allow it to be more resistant to water. What this means is that the iPhone can stay in the water for close to thirty minutes without damage.

Color options

There is the wind that the iPhone 7 will come in 2 colors; space black and a bluish one. We expect that space black will replace space gray.
