Early Monday, Apple announced that it had sold over 13 Million of its new iPhone devices during the opening weekend.
Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, said that that number is "phenomenal" for an opening weekend.
For anyone who uses an iPhone, they know how handy Siri can be. From reading emails, to scheduling appointments on the run. But a lot of users don't know all of what he or she can (and can't do). That's why one should know how to view all of the commands that the handy assistant can do. Here's how:
1. Activate Siri as normal.
2. Don't say anything.
3. After a few seconds, information comes up with Siri commands.
4. That's it.
“If you’re getting one of the new iPhones, you’ll be able to turn still images into video,” Anick Jesdanun reports for The Associated Press. “The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, which start shipping Friday in the United States and other markets, automatically take three-second videos to accompany your regular shots, including selfies.”
“Imagine snapping a shot of your kid blowing out birthday candles – and getting video showing the flame going out as everyone sings ‘Happy Birthday.’ Yes, sound is included,” Jesdanun reports. “You can also enhance shots of your pets and landscapes, such as a waterfall.”
“This feature takes practice, so… Wait a few seconds before snapping your shot so that the video won’t show you moving the phone into position. Likewise, resist dropping your camera right after taking the shot,” Jesdanun reports. “The phone will detect that movement with an upcoming software update, so it can stop the video automatically. For now, wait for a yellow ‘LIVE’ box on the screen to disappear before moving.”
“Ask your subjects to hold their pose longer. If they start moving or talking, the video will show that. The video will show your flash firing if you use it, so natural lighting is better,” Jesdanun reports. “The still shot is the key part of Live Photos, and video merely enhances that. Pay attention to perfecting that still shot in terms of focus, lighting and composition. You don’t need to wait for the video recording to finish before snapping another shot. Just keep snapping, as you’d normally do, and the phone will create overlapping three-second videos automatically.”
