online to flawlessly drop the menu options
atop any page to mid screen. This can be
done by double tapping (not to be confused
with double pressing) the Touch ID button...
Amazing!
Now, going back adding more to the list of
features undesired. The back of the device
now features a raised camera lens, which is
sort of tragic and unattractive. It may in some
way be justified by Apple’s known feats of
design strength shedding ounces year after
year from the phone’s already slim frame,
but in this case it is just plain unfortunate.
The raised camera lens now gives the iPhone
when placed face up on a flat surface, this
tacky rocking motion when touched in the
top left corner. This to me is an epic fail. To
add there’s the constant feeling the lens
is going to get caught on something or get
cracked or broken if laid down to hard. Up to
this point it hasn’t, and although all of you
are thinking it, I refuse to smother it with an
ugly case.
Photos look amazing on the new HD retina
display. The new color density is really
brought out in Facetime and a host of
other video and image features. The new
pixel depth is the best on the market in my
opinion. There is also a new A8 chip, M8
motion coprocessor, built in barometer and
accelerometer which assist the new health
app that I could care less about and other
things but this still feels almost exactly like

an iPhone5S.
I’m not disrespecting Apple to all of you who
are reading this right now screaming ‘Judas’
at the top of your voice. What I’m saying is I
want Apple to release a product so advanced
that it changes the way mobile devices
are created for the next millennium. They
did it once, with the release of the original
iPhone. I don’t have proof but I’m pretty
sure somewhere someone’s jaw dropped
completely off onto the floor when they first
saw it. We are talking going straight from a
Motorolla Razor to a full color touch screen
phone. Come on Apple, stop remaking iPads
and MacBooks into Air and start pioneering
this kind of tec h of the future again. In the
age of ultra thin flexible LED screens why not
make the next iPhone the first front and back
dual screen phone. A phone where you can
use both sides that recognizes your retina
and activates only that side. That’s a game
changer, opening up a whole new world for
practical applications and use such as versus
gaming and app development.
I mean why not completely break the mold
and concept something cool like glasses
that allow you to pair with your smart phone
and view emails, texts messages, videos
and things like that right out in front of you.
Change the way we interact with the world.
Change the way we see ads on bus stops,
billboards and everything. See something
that catches your attention, say “call” and
Siri connects your iPhone directly with the
what you are looking at. The iPhone6 is good
device but honestly do better like we all
know you can.
