We aren\u2019t even halfway through the fall and it\u2019s already been an awesome season for mobile technology: there were the announcements of the Xperia Z3, Note 4, and new Moto X, and now Apple has unveiled the latest member of the iPhone family: the iPhone 6.<\/p>\n

While Android and iOS are two very different systems targeted at different kinds of users, it is still interesting to see how the latest from Apple compares to the greatest Android handsets, especially considering the fact that Apple has finally closed the display-size gap.<\/p>\n

We will have a good idea of how the latest and greatest from Apple compares to its Android counterparts in upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n

But for now, let\u2019s have a quick look at the news related to iPhone\u2019s release and some of the initial feedback.<\/p>\n

Just three days after its launch of September 19, Apple announced it had sold over 10 million new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models.<\/p>\n

Since the launch of iOS 8 for iPhone 5s, 5c and 4s, many users have reported unresponsiveness and overall sluggishness with their phones. Users also reported drops in wifi connectivity and issues with third-party keyboard apps, among many other problems.<\/p>\n

Apple pushed through a new update (iOS 8.0.1) in an effort to fix all the bugs, but instead it resulted in freezing many phones. Apple recalled the update within an hour after users reported frozen phones.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the faulty update resulted in loss of cellular network and disabling of the touch ID, so users weren\u2019t able to unlock or use their phones.<\/p>\n

Apple will be releasing a new update to fix this as soon as possible. So if you have updated and are experiencing problems, just watch for the new update.<\/p>\n

Although Apple announced that existing apps should automatically scale themselves to fit the larger screens on the iPhone 6 model, it\u2019s still not been properly implemented and some apps haven\u2019t adapted to the bigger displays.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s just a quick roundup of the new iPhone. What do you think of the new iPhone and iOS in general? Love it or hate it? Email editor@nexusnewspaper.com with your feedback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
