3 Tricks of iPhone 6 & 6 Plus You Need to Know

Many people think that the iOS 8 running on new iPhone 6/6 Plus is same with what iPhone 5S/5C owners use. As a matter of fact, there are 3 features that take advantage of the newer models' larger screens. If you have already got an iPhone 6/6 Plus, or are going to pick up one, the following 3 tricks will help you to enjoy it even more.

                                                

Trick One: Display Zoom

The new iPhone 6 & 6 Plus have bigger screens than any iPhone before them. Thanks to the new feature-Display Zoom, you can take advantage of the larger screens in 2 ways: show more content or make the content bigger.

To choose the Standard or Zoomed option in Display Zoom, you just need to follow these steps:

1. Tap the Settings App;

2. Tap Display & Brightness;

3. Tap Display Zoom;

4. On this screen, you can tap Standard or Zoomed to see a preview of each option. Swipe side to side to see the option in different scenarios so you can get a good idea of how it will look;

5. Make your section and tap Set.

Trick Two: Reachability

The larger screens of new iPhones are great for lots of thing, however, there are trade-offs, such as easily holding the Phones with one hand, unless the people with big hands will be able to easily make that reach on the iPhone 6.

Luckily, a new feature has been added to help out: Reachability. It moves what's being shown at the top of the screen towards the middle to make it easier to reach. Here are use steps: 

1. When you find yourself wanting to tap something that is out of reach, double tap the Home button. It is important to just tap the button-don't press it. Pressing the home button twice will bring up the multitasking interface. Tap the Home button in the same way that you'd tap am app icon;

2. The contents of the screen will move down;

3. Tap the item you want;

4. The screen will move back to normal. To use Reachability again, repeat the double tap.

Trick Three: Landscape Layout (iPhone 6 Plus only)

The iPhone has supported landscape layout—turning the phone on its side and having the content reorient to be wider than tall. But, one thing that never supported landscape mode, was the home screen. That's changed now. This only applies to the iPhone 6 Plus due to its much bigger screen.

When you're at the home screen, simply turn your 6 Plus so that it's wider than tall and the screen will reorient to move the dock to the edge of the phone and shift the icons to match the screen's orientation.

Open those built-in iOS apps, like Mail and Calendar, and turn the phone to landscape mode and you'll reveal new interfaces for the apps that show information in different ways.
