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.

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.

Apple hide the USB on the back of iMac computer to keep the looks clean and clutter free.
