Little known Tricks for Apple iPhone 6.

All of us might be using I phone 6 for quite some time now , but let me share some smart features which otherwise are used sparingly by users, mainly because they are not much aware about these features .

1. Protect your invaluable data from children

With young children around, your iPhone will always be in demand for the purpose of playing games ! So if that is the case, you must protect your important contact information and data from getting deleted , accidentally. To avoid this, use Accessibility feature . To turn this on, go to settings , and then click " General tab ". Then select "Accessibility'" and enable 'Guided access' on your device. Now , your contacts and other valuable data is safe from any harm by the hands of little wonders.


2. Secure your data by disabling default 'Simple Passcode' setting

Default 'Simple Passcode' setting gives an option of simple basic four number password, which is easier to decode. Just disable this setting and use a much longer alphanumeric code. This is quite difficult to bypass. How to do this ?

Go to settings , and click on 'General' and then go to 'Passcode Lock". Switch off the Simple Passcode and set your new passcode.


3. Access the Battery usage feature

Battery Life is one of the biggest concerns in smart phones. A brand new feature is added to counter this through a Battery Usage Tool  which gives clear breakdown of which apps use more power on daily basis. This can really help in saving battery and optimize its life. 
Go to Settings , and click on 'General' , go to 'Usage ' page and select Battery Usage. Now you can easily close the apps which are not required or consuming maximum energy ! Enjoy your iPhone for much longer time now.


4. Series of Images simultaneously from your Apple iPhone

Just hold the capture button for long and you will be able to take multiple images of the frame ! Really cool !


5. 'Time Lapse Guide'

Another great feature for taking multiple pictures. You can take series of images with one click but there can be a preset time gap between each image based on the requirement. 
To utilize this feature, simply swipe left along the tabs at the bottom of the camera app until you arrive at 'Time Lapse'. You can then use the presented clock dial to set the intervals at which the camera will capture images before initiating the process.

Lesson from Ice cream vendor

Last week, after dinner kids wanted ice cream . So I walked with my elder son to nearest ice cream vendor. While on the way to that ice cream seller, my son asked ,"This ice cream seller must be enjoying lots of ice creams every-day ".

"I don't think so " I replied.

Why ? He has so many flavours. He need not pay anything. I am sure he must be eating few ice creams every day - He said.

Let's find out " i said.

We reached that vendor, ordered our ice creams. He is quite familiar to us , so I asked ," What's your name ? "  

"Rajesh "

"How much worth of ice creams you sell every month ?"

"Ho jata hai sir. My commission is only 14 %"

"How much you make every month ?" (bad question but I asked)

"Roughly 5 to 6 thousand."

How much rent are you paying ?

"I am sharing with my friend. My family stays in Lucknow. Once summers are over, I generally go back to my native. My share of rent is 1200 /- "

After this , we started walking back.

Now I (thinking myself to be very smart) asked my son to do some mathematics.

After reducing 1200 from his income , may be sending another 1200  to his family , he is left with Rs 3600 for 30 days of survival, which means just Rs 120/- per day. 
Do you think he can afford to eat ice creams ?

"See Papa, it just costs 20 rupees. So he can afford to eat few...."

I gave up. 

Lesson for me - KID's economic principles are different.
