iPhone 6S - The Swiss Army Knife
Mobile phone was used only to make calls and send SMS messages to your friends and family. Everything changed when the phones we use started to get smarter. Smartphones became a thing with the introduction to the iPhone by Apple .Inc. in 2007. Since then it was the most technologically advanced piece of gadget we’ve ever gotten our hands on to.
Today’s smartphones are like digital versions of the Swiss Army knife. They are remarkable devices that are packed with a multitude of features. The typical smartphone combines telephone, watch, computer, Internet browser, music player, video player, e-Reader, calendar, alarm clock, still camera and video camera into one pocket-sized device. While your phone can be used for simple computing in a crunch, no one is abandoning their desktops, laptops and tablets just yet. There are some jobs that are are best done by full-featured computers. Let’s have a look at how a particular smartphone by Apple (iPhone) can be used to make your life easier.
Sensors
The iPhone comes with tons of sensors these days. Thanks to its built-in sensors, typically including GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, and microphone your smartphone can easily serve as a variety of tools for carpenters and other handypersons. Some examples include a level (bubble level bar, surface level, or plumb-bob) and compass. And a smartphone doesn't even need sensors to be a display-based tool like a ruler or a protractor. Latest smartphone gadgets like i-Watch includes a sensor to report to the phone the status of your heart rate. People with health concerns will be able to track their heart rate on daily basis.
Camera
Camera is another key component in iPhone that makes it special. Having the fastest camera in the world, iPhone can now shoot around 100 photos per second in the burst mode. iPhone serves as a good camera for the user to be taking quality pictures. Even though its not closed to professional photography, still you can take challenging content for social media.
Did you know that your camera can be used as a scanner and a barcode reader? You just have to install these two apps and you are good to go. Your camera can scan a document and it will be exported as a PDF or an image of your choice. That’s not all, you can scan barcodes printed in any product to get information about that product. You can even use this function as a business card reader.
Location (GPS)
One of the most interesting feature in your iPhone is Apple & Google Maps. Now your phone can find your location as well as find your friends location for you. You can brows the world map to find any location and you can get the exact coordinates of your location.
That’s not all, Apple & Google maps can suggest places to get any kind of services for you. As an example, places to buy cloths, places to drink and eat. The stores will be located according to your current location and the suggestions will be based on how close you are to that store.
Entertainment
It is needless to say that iPhones are the most innovative piece of entertainment gadget ever created. Apple first created iPod touch and Nano for playing music and video. Later they simply concatenated these two devices to create a powerful jukebox and a mp3 player. You can play any song you’ve purchased from iTunes store and keep them in your phone. Videos can be recorded, downloaded or even watch from the internet. You can watch high definition videos in your 5.5” screen without any problem. Latest iPhone supports 4K resolution video as well.
All the tools in the Swiss Army knife are useful tools in the right situation. However, I still wouldn’t recommend cutting anything precise with those tiny scissors. Same with smartphones, use it at will but don’t take anything for granted.

Why Having a Pretty App Icon Matters?
In this millennium people are closer to their phones than their own families. In this era, mobile apps are something that we cannot live without every day. With the evolution of the smart phones developers and mobile enthusiast started to develop mobile applications as they desire.
Today there are 102,062m app downloads recorded worldwide. Number of free app downloads are higher and even the paid apps are gaining up to the completion with a recorded downloads of 9.19 billion. While the total app market share being 34$ billion in the world market apple, Google and windows takes the lead in the market by providing various iPhone, Android and Windows applications in their respective markets.
What makes these apps are more important to download? Of course the usages of each application are problem specific and they are used by users to get their daily duties done. You may have noticed that there are many applications in each market for the same purpose. What can make you download and use a specific application before the other that is made to be used for the same purpose? There can be several reasons that you pick an application over other. They are,
1. Vender of the app
2. Reviews made by users in respective app stores
3. The app icon and screenshots
When people are choosing apps on an online app market it is clear that they look more towards the trustworthiness of the vendor who created the application before even using the app. Many people are checking app reviews made by people who are already using the app. This is actually considered as a good practice as you are able to know if the app is able to satisfy your needs.
But before looking into the two options above, what a user a can see is the icon of the specific application. For an example let’s take the iPhone apps store (iTunes Store). It is the largest store containing 100 billion apps and it is expanding every day. When a new developer adds a new application to the store, the very first sight that a regular user who is browsing the app store may see is the app icon.
It is confirmed that regardless of the look and feel of the iPhone app that is on ITunes store, the user is attracted by the look of the app icon. In a marketing aspect this can be explained better. You iPhone app can be 10 times better than a competitor's app but still you will not get any attention if you don’t have a proper app icon to your application.
Creating an awesome app icon is the job of a designer and the designer should be able to grab whole idea of the app and provide the output as a great icon. There are few factors that a designer should looking to when creating an awesome app icon. They are as follow
1. Color of the icon
2. Descriptiveness
3. Attractiveness
Color of the icon
The color of the icon is a main factor when creating an iPhone app icon. The color of the app icon should be related to the application’s theme. And they should be cool colors that can be watched for a long time by the human eye. Below are some app icon examples with good color selections.
Descriptiveness
Descriptiveness of the app icon is another important fact when choosing a app from the store. The app icon should be able to describe the app or the usage of the app. For an example if your application is a notepad, your app icon should contain something related to reading, writing and taking notes. Then the user can quickly get a picture of what your application means. Below is an iPhone mockup which explains the importance of the app icon descriptiveness where most of the default iPhone apps are pretty much descriptive.
Attractiveness
Un-arguably if anything is attractive it will get the attention it deserves. This applies to the app icons as well. If your icon is attractive the chance of users picking it up will be very high. The only reason some apps are picked only because of having an attractive app icon. Designers can use their creativity to develop attractive app icons to their apps.
In the intensely competitive app market, the benefits of using an attractive app icon emphasize the value of icon design. Designers can use above information to understand the degree to which each design element and property influences positive emotions, and thereby comprehend and implement the design elements. You can design iphone mockups from iphone mockup software and create your icons much more graphically.
