iOS 7 tips and tricks

Horribly written.

1. Big screen is just a preference.

2. Faster processor isn't a must? Not having lag like the S4 is definitely enjoyable. And having a phone that will last two years without moaning and groaning when iOS 8 and 9 come out is definitely a must. Idiot.

3. It does have a bigger and better battery. Not surprised, wrong again. The processor was also designed to be as efficient as possible, using a 28nm design to save power, again see the anandtech review.

4. How many 128gb phones have been sold between all the manufacturers? My guess? Very little.

5. When upgrading a top of the line phone, you have less to improve upon. See also: S3 to S4.

Personally, I'm next to a charger a large part of the day- in the car, at home, near the computer, if I had a removable battery for the nexus 4, I wouldn't buy a spare anyways. If I really needed a spare battery for traveling I can always buy a battery pack for $10-20. Yes it's larger, but I'd rather have longer battery 99% of the year instead.

Does it hurt the battery to always keep it plugged in when you are near a charger?

According to Apple the iPhone battery will give 80% of it's original power after 400 charge cycles.

So it follows if you always keep it plugged in when you are near a charger the battery life will be significantly reduced very quickly.

Or does the battery power loss level out after losing 20%?

Actually, the battery lasts far longer if you don't run it out. CMIIW, it's only considered a cycle if you run out the battery.

The second part of what I said is not technically correct but the first part is.

"Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, so also does the depth of discharge (DoD) determine the cycle count. The shorter the discharge (low DoD), the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid full discharges and charge the battery more often between uses. Partial discharge on Li-ion is fine; there is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles to prolong life"

Probably also the reason that I have OCD to always be charging my devices. (No, I don't have an iPhone)

@yuneeq you seem to take this pretty personally

Forget about 128GB but removable memory is a must. Also, I don't know if anyone has noticed this but Iphone apps are about 5-10 times the size of their android counterparts...

Nothing personal. I don't own an iPhone. I just can't stand the 2nd generation version of sheeple.

I don't believe it works there.

Iphone already has 5 generations of those

My point is that it barely affects anyone, after all what's the point in blocking  game center at all? You can still play games.

Millions of iPads are used in education.
Work it out....

I have to ask this again. My mail icon (and top of mail screen) before 7 always showed number of unread messages. Now in 7 it only shows total messages. Pain in the neck. Can't find any settings anywhere. Anyone?
