this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by t-mobile that makes sense what's up everyone welcome back there episode of acid buffalos to show you can ask me any question you've got from or the technology and sometimes outside this week's episode of ask the buff was being filmed entirely with iphone six-plus as ron is sitting right across from the filming me we got mark shooting b-roll of him and all of the audio is going directly into an iphone 6 just a sense of what it would look like what you could do with an iphone six-plus so up this week we're going to talk a lot about iphones we're going to talk some about blackberry to bring back with some more questions about whether or not the phones are just too big or too influenced by samsung this is that's the Buffalo it's going to get started so our first question comes from at Fir phone tech who asks at John for lakers how long does a battery life in the iphone 6 6 plus well good question first I would never gauge phone usage based on battery life the first weeks usually are using it weigh heavier so I think said that saturday i was using my iphone six-plus pretty hard at screen on I usually I don't set for auto brightness I had it set to about 75% I was testing absolutely everything I hadn't plugged my phone in twice after about 10 hours i was down to about twenty twenty-five percent but sunday was my son's birthday and i couldn't be on the phone all the time i took it off the charger around eight the time i plugged it back in at night around the love and i still had forty six percent battery life left so the real battery usage is probably somewhere in between Bob looks to be certainly better than we saw on the iphone 5s nothing it's gonna totally blow you away i'm still doing tests though on the iphone 6 so stay tuned to afford you on both those to see if how much better we're better at all they might be next question comes from a-z many ice who asks at john for lakers what is the future of blackberry after able to run android apps listen i'm going to say this I'm gonna go on the record of saying this blackberry 10.3 is really really good I comes with Amazon's app store built in you can sideload pretty much every android app got blackberries own app store on there it doesn't really solid operating system the NOC used to be and i was 112 knocking was that it just didn't have at all but it got super good between 10 and 10.3 keyboards got way better black braids awesome mail service got more intuitive if you haven't considered going to black where you might want to try to get kind of the best of Android I think with their app stores but also you get sort of the best of blackberry now too with their incredible email the passports coming to keep we're on that looks absolutely awesome give them another shot at least go ahead and check them out at a store and see if something you think you might want to use because they are really up and coming and I think the black bracelets and wife left take a quick sec to thank our friends at ting if you've got a cell phone you got a cell phone plan chances are you over paying for stuff that you just don't need with ting there are no plans

and ting service credit to use towards your monthly bill again that's technobuffalo ting calm next question comes from at Red Sox 2009 who asks at John for Lakers hashtag ask the Buffalo does a larger iPhone level the playing field with Android or Apple still behind at all this way it usually goes with Android and Apple almost always Android is one that put out new features first and then to refine it live Apple takes the other approach usually wait sometimes way longer than i would like I'm sure you as well to get the new features out on phone take NFC for example androids have NFC for the better part of three and a half years apple just put it out for Apple pay on the iphone 6 and 6 plus but it's totally neutered you can't do anything else with that other than use it for mobile payments when it comes to the screen certainly I don't think we'd have knives on 6 plus if it wasn't for samsung screens are now going to K and apples just finally releasing a 1080p screen now it's a great 1080p screen by all accounts one of the best p screens on there but resolutions getting better Apple hasn't really played that much to the spec race we're gonna look in a spec sheet side-by-side with layers from apple and weight is firm from Android certainly the Android device has the iphones beat on specs we're sort of it gets sort of up to par I was with the experience if you like an experience going to work and be elegant and have a great app store than iOS is a great way to go especially if you're an apples ecosystem if you want customization and you want cutting-edge features androids great way to go and I said for consumers it's good when you have choice so you can they pick which I have the fence you were on last question comes from GATS Gary the gamer 88 who asks does reach ability actually make the iphone 6 plus a one-handed phone so I will say this and I think a lot of people are in this boat they didn't try the iphone 6 bus before their order that or bought it and they got it on there like this thing is just way too big even our own Brendan Russell swapped his for an iphone 6 my brother-in-law swapped his for an iphone 6 it's big so reach ability essentially what that lets you do is you double tap on touch ID and it drops the phone down just a little bit so you can reach things I have pretty large hands like an Impala basketballs relative ease and it's a big phone even for me to reach on so I imagine for a lot of people it's going to be really difficult definitely to hated device reach ability helps if you want to serve access the maybe right three rows or columns of apps but anything all we on the left you're still going to have to use two hands for it so be very aware that if you haven't tried or seen the six plus in person before you order before you buy go to an apple store and give it a shot because you might find it's just too big 30 for iOS users who've using iPhones forever it's a really jarring jump from four inches of 5.5 inches inch and a half on the phone is a lot and the bezels are huge on top and bottom so it's even larger than just the screen size so definitely go and give it a shot with a help enter questions
