iPhone: a shock to millions of users – these models will stop working in a few days

iPhone: a shock to millions of users – these models will stop working in a few days

iPhone: Chill for iPhone owners once their phones are… useless!

iPhone users are required to upgrade their devices to the latest and latest version of iOS, otherwise they will not be able to use their devices in the future.

The reason is the fact that the older version of iOS will lose some important features, such as access to Maps, Siri, App Store.

This update applies to iPhones running iOS 11 through iOS 11.2.6.

Devices such as iPhone 5 or earlier are affected but even iPhone 7 owners who have not upgraded their devices are affected.

Users who have devices from iPhone 5 and later will encounter a problem, while even those who have iPhone 7, who are still using it, will have to immediately upgrade their devices to continue using it normally.

The change was posted by Apple tipster, StellaFudge, and it has already reached millions of users.

Specifically he said:

“Starting in early May, users using iOS 11-11.2.6 will stop accessing Apple services, except for iCloud. You will likely receive a notification to upgrade.”

If you receive the notification, act quickly to continue using the device.

iPhone: The end of an era! The big change – how will they work now

We won’t see SIM cards on iPhones in the future, as Apple decided!

Last year, Apple released the iPhone 14 series, being the company’s first phone without a SIM card tray, but only with an eSIM.

The change only affected the United States, but it looks like the iPhone 15 will follow the same tactic in other parts of the world soon.

According to the French website MacGeneration, quoting a source close to the company, it says that the start will take place in France where only eSIM versions of the iPhone 15 will be released.

The information is particularly important, as Apple tends to sell the same models in a number of European countries, which in turn means that countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, and others will adopt SIM-less iPhones.

iPhone: You Don’t Have Cash To Buy – Here’s How To Get It Using… Rent!

Of course, you will have heard about the possibility of renting or renting cars for a short term. Now, however, we can do the same in Greece for an iPhone!

Since Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone at an event in 2007, Apple has released no fewer than 34 iPhone models.

With over 1.2 billion active iPhones in the world at the moment, it is probably one of the most sought after devices around the world.

Although the price of the iPhone has become prohibitive for the monthly budget of many people, we no longer need to acquire it in installments through a loan or credit agreement and pay several hundred euros in advance to get our iPhone.

This is because we can now obtain them by leasing.

Until now, leasing has been very popular in the automobile industry, and the reason it became popular all over the world was similar to the reason leasing electronics became popular: there is no need to spend initial capital or take out a consumer loan to purchase the car.

The rental possibility has recently expanded to other regions as well, giving us the chance to get one of our latest iPhone models for just a small amount of money each month, with prices starting as low as €25.

This possibility is provided by venlopthe startup known for the Buy Now Pay Later service, which recently brought electronic device rental to our country.

In this way, it has provided the best alternative solution for those who cannot or do not want to set aside a large amount to acquire technology products either because of a limited budget or because they do not want to pay the installments through a credit / consumer loan.

Currently in Greece, only 13% of Greeks over the age of 25 have a credit card and one of the reasons is certainly that it is a big and onerous commitment.

They do not want to be burdened with onerous debts, which they will have to pay off until they are out of debt – and when they finally manage to pay them off, their mobile phone will look old and outdated!

With leasing, you only pay for your device for as long as you use it, you have no interest, you don’t get into trouble with banks, and you can turn it off whenever you want.

iPhone: If you have these signs, a virus has infected you

iPhoneSomething is wrong with your iPhone and you’re wondering what happened?

In case you were wondering, yes, it is very easy to infect your mobile phone with a virus, just like computers.

What usually happens on a mobile phone is that the virus targets vulnerabilities and applications that may not be managing your personal information properly.

  • Increased data usage

If there is an undetected virus, it will generally increase data usage.

  • Apps that crash

While there are a number of reasons this could be happening, if you have a lot of storage (not countless apps) but you see them crashing, you might have a virus.

It’s normal for it to happen here and there, but frequent overheating can mean that malware is gobbling up your RAM quickly.

It’s like spam. If you get complaints from friends that you’re sending them dangerous links, you should probably look into it.

What you need to do

  • Clear your history through settings.
  • Go to Settings, go to Apple ID, then iCloud. Select the most recent backup.
  • Go to Settings, select General, then Reset and Erase All Content. Factory reset is the last resort.

iPhone: What the button does that few people know

Millions of people own iPhones but few know there is a secret button.

Thanks to a video that went viral on social media, iPhone owners have discovered that their devices have a “secret button” that allows them to use various features on their phones that can make their lives easier.

“You’re not using your iPhone properly if the secret button on the back of your phone isn’t used,” says TikToker “elliawesometech,” which has dedicated its videos to discovering unknown features on various tech devices.

In this particular video, TikToker talks about the “Touch Back” feature on the iPhone, which is available on any device that “runs” at least iOS 14.

This feature allows iPhone owners to touch the back of their phone, near where the Apple logo is, and have their smartphone launch whatever app they programmed through the Settings menu.

For example, you can set the Secret Button (touch Back) to open the camera, take a screenshot, turn on the flashlight, or even turn the volume up and down.

In her video, TikToker uses the “Touch Back” feature to easily open the Shazam app to find the song or tune that’s playing.

To enable this feature, you need to go to Settings, scroll down and tap on Accessibility and then tap on Touch.

Then scroll down to Restart again. You will have the option to enable either Double Tap or Triple Tap, depending on whether you want to tap twice or triple tap.

Big Brother watches everything. Every page you view, every video, every conversation.

How can you completely erase your tracks. See six simple steps. All details at xristika.gr.

Each of us has left a small or large footprint on the Internet, which means that any stranger from anywhere in the world can access our personal information.

Is there a way to delete an individual’s personal data from the Internet so that it is not available to different companies?

Basically, no, but there are ways to reduce your digital footprint and thus reduce the chances of your personal data being leaked.

In any case, reducing your digital footprint comes at a price: It can affect your career prospects by making it difficult for you to connect with potential new employers.

Delete or disable your account on shopping platforms, social media and online services

Consider networks that require account creation.

Other than the obvious (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter), there are others, such as Reddit or some e-commerce platform. All of these accounts collect personal information.

They can be deleted or disabled through the security or privacy settings on your computer or mobile phone.

Sometimes deactivating some accounts requires more steps, which you can look up online for each situation.

But if you find an account that cannot be deleted, put something completely fake or random in the details.
