How to make your AirPods battery last longer

Apple AirPods allow you to listen to audio and ask a question to Siri or make a phone call without even touching the iPhone and with these amazing features, some people wonder about the duration of charging the headphones, how long the AirPods battery lasts, and how you can improve battery life, during the following lines we will answer Those questions.

How long do AirPods charge?

According to Apple, the first generation AirPods can last for 5 hours of listening or two hours of talk time on a single charge, the second generation AirPods have a talk time of up to three hours, and the battery life of AirPods Pro is about four and a half hours of Listen or three and a half hours of talking when fully charged and the charging case provides up to 24 hours of additional listening time or 18 hours of talk time.

How to improve and increase the battery life of AirPods?

Headphones AirPods from Apple are very small devices that contain a smaller battery, so any damage may damage the battery, and for this here are some good steps and habits that, when followed, will help extend the life of the AirPods headphones:

1 Put the speaker in the charging case
The charging case for AirPods provides up to 24 hours of battery life, so when you do not need the headset, put it in the charging case, this will preserve its charge and make it ready for use whenever you need it.

2 Keep your AirPods safe
Extreme temperatures (high or cold) can damage the AirPods battery, try not to use it when conditions are unfavorable, and do not leave it directly exposed to sunlight when not in use, it is also better not to place it with the charging case anywhere its temperature is cold or warm Frequently.

3 Turn off features you don’t need
There are a variety of features that may not be necessary for daily use and if you turn them off will preserve the battery life of your AirPods, one example of this is the “Automatic Ear Detection” feature, which transfers audio from your connected device to the speaker the moment you put the AirPods in Your ear, and by disabling this feature, you will provide a longer life for the headphone battery. To disable the feature, do the following steps:

1: Open the iPhone Settings app
2: Tap on Bluetooth
3: And select your AirPods
4: Disable the automatic ear detection feature

4 use Single earphone

5 Improved battery charging
In the latest versions of the iOS operating system, you will find the enhanced battery charging feature, which works to accommodate and know your daily routine and your daily charging habits to improve battery life and by enabling this feature, the charging process of the headset will be delayed when it reaches 80% and this will help extend the life Headphone battery, whose performance decreases and ages with time.

6 Do not open the charging case frequently
One of the great features of the Apple AirPods is their ability to connect instantly via bluetooth, this connection occurs as soon as you open the game near the iPhone device, so every time you open the case cover, the bluetooth connection is activated and of course the use of the battery case is, so there is no need to open the headphone case immediately Frequent even when you don’t need to use the speaker, only when you need to use it.

In the end I would say that the battery life of the AirPods varies depending on the amount of use and the amount of care taken by the user, but on average, the battery of Apple’s AirPods can last for about two years and with following the steps we mentioned above, you should be able to make Your headphones last longer, and don’t forget to keep your AirPods clean all the time to keep them in good shape for as long as possible.

How to take a screenshot of an entire webpage

Many of us like some content on a webpage and need to save and review it from time to time, then take screenshots of each part of it i.e. the active part in front of it only or save it as a bookmark, add to that the method that is with us in this article, where you can take a screenshot of a webpage Full length on your phone, then saved as a PDF file, through a very simple and useful feature added by Apple in iOS. Is this feature limited to Apple applications or can it be implemented on other things such as social networking sites?

How to take a screenshot of an entire webpage on an iPhone


The screenshot option was added to the entire webpage in iOS 13 but few people know about this option. Here’s how to take a full screenshot:

◉ Go to the web page you want in the Safari app.

◉ Take photos by pressing the lock button and volume up button at the same time.

◉ Then wait for the screenshot preview that appears in the lower left or right corner of your phone screen.

◉ Once you see the preview, click on it and you will be taken to a screen that gives you the ability to edit photos, you will have the option to crop the screenshot, add comments and annotations, add your signature, and more.

◉ After completing the required adjustments, you will notice two options at the top of the image. The default screen capture option is “screen”, which is the only active area in front of you on the screen, and another option is “Full Page”.

◉ Select the “Full Page” option to convert your regular screenshot into a full page screenshot, then use the scroll bar on the right side of your screen to browse the length of the captured web page.

How to save a full-page screenshot?


Unlike regular screenshots, full page screenshots are not saved to images. After you have edited a full page screenshot, click “Done” in the upper corner of your screen. This will prompt you to delete the screenshot or save it as a PDF to files. If you choose to save the full page screenshot, you will get several options, such as saving the screenshot to a folder in iCloud Drive or saving it on the iPhone in a folder like Pages. You will also have the option to create a new folder to store the full page screenshot. You can do this by clicking on the folder icon in the upper corner of your screen near the “Save” option.

Once you know where you want to save your file, simply click on this save button and you are all set.

Can you take full page screenshots of anything?

Unfortunately, it appears that full page screenshots are limited to the Safari app only, which means that you cannot save full page summaries for example iMessage conversations, social media feeds, or otherwise. If you try to capture a full page screenshot of anything outside of the Safari app, the “Full Page” option will not appear on the editing screen.

Finally, Apple is working to replace iTunes in Windows with these separate applications

Although Apple ended the presence of iTunes on the Mac since the release of macOS Catalina, it continued to work on Windows. Soon, we may witness the end of the iTunes era, especially after the emergence of new reports of Apple’s plans with Microsoft in the coming days. After Apple suspended the iTunes program on the Mac in late 2019, it was not clear what it would do with it on Windows, and some believed at the time that it would continue to work as a single application, at least temporarily due to Apple’s unwillingness to develop to another competing platform. Others doubted that Windows users would soon have the same multi-application treatment as Mac users. A report last year indicated that Apple was already working to cancel iTunes on Windows in favor of a series of standalone applications, although the report at the time was somewhat vague, it was mentioned that soon Apple will have a new application in the Store. Microsoft, did not disclose any other details. This left open for some speculation, since iTunes isn’t the only Windows app supported by Apple, there is also the iCloud Windows app that gets updated regularly. Other possibilities indicated that Apple was preparing a TV application for Windows users, since the iTunes version of Windows did not support the live broadcast service on the new Apple TV Plus, which left Windows users watching the original versions of Apple. Through their web browser. Then Apple also hired experienced Windows software developers since late 2019, so it seemed clear that Apple was about to do something, and this team had already managed to create an Apple TV app for Xbox, and this also indicates that iTunes Windows will It will be completed very soon. In fact, iTunes on Windows was far behind that of the Mac. For example, when Apple separated Books or Apple Books as a standalone application on the Mac several years ago, it did not follow suit on Windows, leaving users with a substandard experience, and Apple also left other elements of iTunes on Windows that were removed since A long period of Mac release even after its final demise two years ago.

** Music and Podcasts for Windows**

The good news is that soon, iPhone and iPad users who use Windows will be able to use separate, alternative programs for iTunes on Windows. Where sources revealed that Apple has already started testing new music and podcast applications for Windows in a special beta version.

It is hard to believe that Apple will not want to put a final end to iTunes on Windows or support and develop it to emulate the Mac, and Apple has to take a step forward when it comes to attracting Windows users to the Apple system.

It is possible that these applications are initially designed for Xbox users, rather than Windows users, especially since Apple recently released its Apple TV application for Xbox, so it seems that these two applications have been added to complete the collection on these devices, but this is unlikely as Apple has generalized Its applications are as it did with Apple TV and made it support many smart TVs around the world, and if so, it is imminent that Apple will move to Windows.

Why are Android users migrating to iOS and vice versa?

Every now and then, some Android users want to move to iOS and try it closely, and vice versa, we find some iOS users also want to move to Android, for several reasons, which we will mention in this article. To illustrate these reasons, researchers affiliated with the technology journal PCMag conducted a study and questionnaire on 2,500 people to explain why an iOS and Android user might change their system. While broadcasting their quarterly earnings results, Apple CEO Tim Cook often boasts of the high percentage of customers switching from Android devices to iPhones. According to the research data, the conversion rate from Android represents 15 to 20% of iPhone purchases.

The survey revealed that 18% of customers switched from Android to iOS, while the transfer decreased by 11% from iOS to Android. And 47% of customers who migrated to iOS said they “chose it for a better user experience,” as well as because of more apps, faster updates, and better customer service. While 25% of converts to Android indicated that they moved to “better features” such as camera and design, a better user experience as well, and better prices, they claim.

The survey showed that 70% had not switched to another system at all, and thus maintained their loyalty and loyalty to the operating system that they had chosen from the start. According to data taken earlier this year by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, both iOS and Android have high customer loyalty rates. How many fanatical supporters of both regimes alike. It turned out to be difficult for smartphone companies to persuade and entice customers to switch operating systems. We find companies resort to several methods and persistent attempts to persuade customers to switch to their systems, and on top of those companies, Apple, we find it resorting to a range of methods, including commercial, including advertising that promotes features that you rarely find in other systems, so you find the Move to iOS application or go to iOS , As well as the Switch site dedicated to explaining all the reasons why the iPhone is the best smart phone worth buying. According to a PCMag survey, the operating system is not the biggest factor in customers choosing one smartphone over another. There is a price factor in both systems and this is cited by approximately 33%. While 22% think the brand is the most important. And 19% of the respondents said that the operating system was the main reason for choosing.

According to the survey also, among the important points obtained is that 56% do not care about new smart phone releases, with 34% saying that they buy a new phone when their contract expires, i.e. almost two years after the phone was released, and 17% said they only buy a new phone. When their phone experiences an accident such as broken screen or other malfunctions. According to another analysis published on the bgr website, some commentators have stated that he intends to move to iOS with all its devices for several reasons, which we mention very briefly:

1- Privacy
This is especially important in our time. Apple and Google each have a different ideology. Apple takes great care of the hardware and the operating system, and there is no doubt that this is reflected in the price, as its devices are very expensive, and we mentioned in a previous article that Apple sells its services such as updates, security and privacy with the sale of the device. While Google reaps its profits by giving Android devices to third parties for free to use its free applications and services to collect as much private data as possible, to attract ads, especially those targeting the customer based on his data.

2-Updates
This is another issue that is being debated all the time. What sets iOS apart is its continuous updates, even for devices that are two or three years old. As for Android, updates are issued to the manufacturers of smart phones of various forms until new applications are incorporated or modified. Unless you’re using a Pixel phone, then you’re in luck and you’ll get updates for up to two or three years (versus 5 years in iOS). For your information, the latest Android versions are only used on 5% of modern devices.

3-Application integration and fluidity with the operating system
Apple’s App Store is like a walled garden that is subject to strict rules surrounding it, and the experience of apps on Apple devices is no secret.

4- customers service
Most Apple device users probably haven’t tried serving their customers. But if you intend to visit an Apple store, you are sure that you will deal with a genius, not only that, but if you contact Apple customer service, you are in the midst of an excellent customer care experience of 99%. There is no doubt that this is included in a fraction of the price of the device that you purchased from Apple.

Seven hidden features Apple Watch can do that most users don’t know

Apple is charging its new watches on the latest system so there are new features, new watch faces and more. This is because watch users find it a lot of stress when updating or upgrading, and therefore they are ignorant of many of the features. And if you are one of those, then in this article we’ll tell you seven useful Apple Watch features that very few people know about. Seven hidden things that the Apple Watch can do that most users do not know

Use your watch for vlogging

Visual blogging is known as Vlog and refers to video streaming, and even if a blog is not used, you can publish the vlog through other means of communication such as YouTube and others. You can do this without relying on other equipment only via Apple Watch and iPhone, then communicate directly with the audience. You only need to go to the Camera app on the Apple Watch and then wrap the watch around the iPhone so that you can watch the video on the watch screen. The watch allows you to zoom in and change focus to precisely monitor what you want to see while recording, or get the ideal position you want to get a high-quality image through the rear cameras

Identify On phonics

first let us change the word music or songs into phonemes, because we don’t listen to them. Apps like Shazam, they can locate random audios that are playing, so you know exactly where to find them, no need to use an additional audio identification app, Apple Watch can do that for you without any problem. So if you’re near audios that you like, just ask Siri, “What’s this song?” She should be able to tell you.

Controlling an Apple TV

If you cannot find a remote control for an Apple TV, the Apple Watch is an excellent alternative. In such a situation. With the Remote app, you can do almost anything with the watch, including changing channels, adjusting the volume, and more. To start the watch as a Remote Control

◉, open the remote app on the Apple Watch.

◉ Tap on Apple TV. If you don’t see Apple TV listed, tap Add device.

◉ On Apple TV, go to Settings> Controllers and other devices> Remote and Devices app, then select Apple Watch.

◉ Enter the passcode displayed on the Apple Watch.

◉ When the pairing icon appears next to the Apple Watch, that means It is ready to control Apple TV.

Control or monitor your car

Apple Watch can do things like start up your car by acting as a digital CarKey, or provide more in-depth information like tire pressure, gas amount you have, and other basic stats that can help you with maintenance and much more as long as your car supports it. . Search the app store for your car app. Currently, BMW is the only automobile company that supports digital car keys on the Wallet app on the Apple Watch and iPhone.

The new way to clear all notifications

The Apple Watch can display all the notifications that you receive from various applications and messages. The large number of these notifications annoy the user, as he wants to make the face of the watch clean and clear. But that doesn’t mean that you have to disable all of your notifications. In watchOS 7 and later, swipe down from the top of the screen, then “Clear All”. This will clear all notifications, so you can quickly get a clean list whenever you need it. On old Apple watches, press and hold Notification Center to clear it.

Controlling panic attacks

and stress has many benefits The health of the Apple Watch is no secret, as is the ability to track heart rate, monitor blood oxygen levels and track general fitness. But one feature that isn’t nearly as popular as the others is the Breathe app, which displays a simple, timed image that allows you to control your breathing while looking at the Apple Watch. This has many benefits in daily life, from reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, overcoming panic attacks, panic, intense fear, and so on, through breathing exercises that will help you deal with the situation. Try it.

Intercom with your family

Intercom or intercom, you can find it in the Home app under Settings, where you can enable it on a variety of devices, including Apple Watch, iPhone, Home iPod, iPad, etc. You can also share this ability with anyone else in your household. With intercom enabled, you can simply say, “Hey Siri, intercom, dinner is ready,” and this message will play on every HomePod in the house. It will also be transferred to devices like Apple Watch for everyone who subscribes to it, so that even if people receive the same message They weren’t there to hear it, and Siri could respond, too. This is a great feature for families who use a lot of different Apple devices.

Find out about the twisted ways by the developers to track you against your will

We are soon on the date with the new privacy policies that Apple will apply to iPhone devices that threaten the throne of the advertising industry on mobile phones, how will application developers deal with those strict rules from Apple, here are some things that they think of using to circumvent Apple.

What’s the story?

Everyone is aware that Apple is preparing to implement new privacy policies that will prevent application developers from collecting your data unless you agree … Why! Because Apple will provide you with a choice, which is to obtain your consent and allow access to your data and track you or reject and thus the advertiser IDFA number of your device will be hidden and because everyone will choose not to agree, you will not be targeted with ads that are appropriate for you. Thus, everyone who tries to profit from the ad network targeting iPhone users will lose, the first of which is the social networking giant Facebook.

Roundabouts

Application developers are desperately searching for fraudulent and circumvented ways that would allow them to bypass Apple’s new privacy rules, and one of those methods is the use of forbidden technologies such as using a device’s fingerprint. Through the device’s fingerprint, it is possible to identify repeated visits from the same smartphone, even between multiple applications. This technology does indeed work, but it is prohibited by Apple Store policies, but it is difficult to detect as a set of hardware and software features and configurations such as Internet connection and battery or language settings and usage patterns are linked. And so on. In a simple way – when you visit a website, your browser provides a set of data that aims to ensure that the website is displayed correctly on your iPhone, as the website needs to display itself differently on every device such as Mac, iPhone and so on. With the passage of time, websites have become more complex, and that is why the amount of data that the browser provides to the site has increased. Here are some examples of the data that the site obtains from your browser:

1-the name of the browser and its version

2-The operating system of the device and its version Installed

3-fonts The device

4-vendor Plug-ins for the browser

5-Screen resolution

6- Screen color depth Supported audio formats

7-Supported video formats

8-Connected media devices such as web cameras

9-Preferred content language

Note that this is some data and not a complete list, and when the site obtains that data and analyzes it, it becomes easy for it to display itself on your device in an appropriate manner and thus application developers can follow you And identifying you even if it refuses to track you and access your data.

The hashed email

There is another method that developers may use is Hashed emails through which users can be tracked across different applications, if they use the same email to register for different services and games, and in a simple way, email hash is intended to convert the email address into a hexadecimal chain made up of 32 letters, here’s how it works:

Email address such as Walid@lolol.com

Through a hash algorithm, there are many of them free of charge, and once you add the email to the algorithm, you get a unique value that is not the same with any other value, and here it will be 43307bb5a669b247270a4d81cce6f3ff and so you can be identified through this method despite Apple’s new privacy policies.

Finally, while it may be difficult for Apple to monitor such crooked methods, the cost of discovering them will be prohibitive for the developer, because he will forever lose the ability to enter the world’s most profitable Apple application store and lose the profit from iPhone users, so will the developer risk?

كيف خسر الاندرويد سوق الاجهزة اللوحية

اليوم إذا قمت بذكر كلمة (تابلت) او جهاز لوحي أمام شخص عادي فأول ماقد يخطر على باله هو الايباد في الواقع ابل قد احتلت سوق الاجهزة اللوحية لفترة طويلة لدرجة ان الأغلب لايعلم ان كان هناك اجهزة لوحية قبل الايباد ولكن الامر مختلف في سوق الهواتف بغض النظر ان نجاح الايفون استطاع نظام الاندرويد ان يكتسح اكبر حصة بسوق الهواتف الذكية ولكن لماذا لم تستطع جوجل تكرار الامر بسوق اللوحيات

سوق الاجهزة اللوحية قبل صدور الايباد

بالرجوع لعام 2003 عندما اطلقت مايكرسوفت اول لوحي لها و أسمته (كمبيوتر مايكروسفت اللوحي) الجهاز كان يعمل بنسخة معدلة من نظام ويندوز تستخدم القلم اللمسي بدلا عن الكيبورد والماوس الجهاز وقتها كان ثقيلا و سميكا و ذو بطارية ضعيفة و فوق كل ذلك كان باهظ الثمن حوالي (2000$) الجهاز لم يحقق اي نجاح وقتها بغض النظر عن المشاكل السابقة للجهاز المشكلة الحقيقة اللتي كانت تعاني منها مايكرسوفت انها كانت تضع نظام ويندوز المخصص للحواسيب في جهاز لوحي وهذا الامر يتطلب وضع عتاد حاسوب ونظام تبريد بجهاز لوحي يعمل ببطارية!

ظهور الايباد

عندما بدأت ابل بتطوير جهازها اللوحي اصبح من الواضح انهم بحاجة لتقديم شيء مختلف بدلا من وضع نظام mac os قامو بوضع iOS وكان هذا قرارا صائبا لعدة اسباب ios نظام غير مستهلك للطاقة ويدعم اللمس المتعدد اي انك لن تكون مضطرا لاستخدام القلم لاستخدام الجهاز والجهاز ليس بحاجة لعتاد حاسوبي للعمل مما يعني ان الجهاز سيكون نحيفا وخفيف الوزن و ارخص بالثمن اطلق الجيل الاول من الايباد بسعر (499$)

دخول نظام الاندرويد لسوق اللوحيات

عام 2011 اي بعد عام من اطلاق الايباد امتلأ السوق بلوحيات الاندرويد مختلفة الأشكال لدرجة ان معرض ces 2011 كان مكتظا بالأجهزة اللوحية اللتي تعمل بنظام أندرويد المخصص للهواتف بدون اي تعديل ليتناسب مع الأجهزة اللوحية و بأداء ضعيف اغلب هذه الشركات قامت بإطلاق اجهزتها اللوحية معتقدة ان كل ما يتطلبه الأمر لبيع جهاز لوحي هو وضع معالج و بطارية ونظام مخصص للهواتف المحمولة في جهاز بشاشة ضخمة و سيقوم ببيع نفسه متناسين ماقاله ستيف جوبز عند اطلاق الايباد (بغض النظر عن وجود عتاد قوي بالجهاز نظام التشغيل هو مايحدد تجربة المستخدم) رغم امكانية عمل تطبيقات الأيفون على الايباد ابل أخبرت المطورين بإعادة تصميم تطبيقاتهم للايباد للاستفادة من حجم الشاشة وقامت بإعطائهم شهرين لتجهيز تطبيقاتهم قبل إطلاق الجهاز بالسوق لذا عندما تم إطلاق الجهاز بالسوق كان المتجر مكتظا بتطبيقات مخصصة للايباد بجودة عالية و هذه كانت علامة فارقة بين الايباد و اجهزة الاندرويد اللوحية

محاولة جوجل لتعويض النواقص

جوجل قامت بإطلاق نظام honeycomb 3.0 المخصص للأجهزة اللوحية للمنافسة مع الايباد و لكن النظام كان بطيئا ومليئا بالأخطاء البرمجية و صعب التحكم نسبيا مقارنة ب ios كان من الواضح ان جوجل كانت في عجلة من امرها لإطلاق نظام لمنافسة الايباد متناسية التركيز على ايجاد حلول لتوفير تطبيقات مخصصة للأجهزة اللوحية ومساعدة المطورين في ذلك و منذ اطلاق جوجل لنظامها المخصص للوحيات جوجل استمرت بإثبات انها لاتعلم مايتطلبه الامر لاطلاق جهاز لوحي ناجح. في عام 2012 جوجل قامت بإطلاق جهازها اللوحي نكسوس 7 لوحي رخيص الثمن وصغير وخفيف الوزن يضم خدمات جوجل ولكن بعد عام واحد الجهاز اصبح يعاني من الاخطاء البرمجية ومشاكل متعددة بالنظام في عام 2014 جوجل قامت بإطلاق جهاز نكسوس 9 بعتاد قوي و بحجم اكبر و كانت نقطة البيع الاساسية للجهاز هو وجود شريحة nvidia بالجهاز لتوفير اقوى اداء بالسوق ولكن الامر انتهى بكون الجهاز يقدم اداء اضعف من الايباد اير 2 وحتى تلك اللحظة لم يكن هناك تطبيقات تذكر مخصصة للعمل على اجهزة الاندرويد اللوحية بعد 18 شهر تم الغاء جهاز النكسوس 9 بسبب تغيير جوجل لاستراتيجيتها مجددا في نهاية عام 2015 قامت جوجل بالاعلان جهاز بيكسل سي لمنافسة الايباد برو من ابل والجهاز ايضا لم يحقق اي نجاح يذكر لانه لم يقدم اي جديد او حل للمشاكل السابقة

استسلام جوجل

في عام 2019 اعلنت جوجل رسميا توقفها عن صنع او تطوير اي جهاز لوحي وسيقومون بالتركيز على اجهزة النوت بوك جوجل استطاعت بنظام الاندرويد اكتساح سوق الهواتف الذكية و لكن الامر كان عكس ذلك في سوق الاجهزة اللوحية الايباد الان هو الخيار الأول بسوق الأجهزة اللوحية لاتزال سامسونج و هواوي تقدمان اجهزة لوحية لمنافسة الايباد و لكن ابل لا تزال هي المسيطرة فهي تقدم افضل فئات سعرية في هذا السوق مع أفضل اداء
