What's Next: iPhone 6S Or iPhone 7?!

What's Next: iPhone 6S Or iPhone 7?!
apple.com

The time has come yet again for everyone to obsess over a new iPhone launch and release date. Will it be the 6S or a brand new 7? Will the camera be better? Will they finally fix the darn charger from fraying apart?

So far, no news on the charger. But following Apple’s historic launch dates, a new iPhone is guaranteed to be introduced at Apple’s event coming up on September 9th. Their invites they recently sent out included this phrase, “Hey Siri, give us a hint.”

So naturally, I asked Siri for some updates…


Always so sassy, Siri.

Now it seems unlikely that we could expect to see something with as drastic of a makeover as the 6 and 6 Plus brought us. If Apple follows its historical pattern, it will most likely be an upgrade to the current 6 (which was introduced the same day last year) and 6 Plus, most likely adding the classic “S” to both.

In June, reports raised of a slight increase in thickness to the new phone. Maybe this will help the bending problem people still seem to have (raising my hand). Or maybe it’s to make room for a bigger, better battery that will give us all longer battery life to actually last our entire work/school day?

There have also been rumors about a new sapphire display. They say this has a higher shatter-resistance. If so, this will be my favorite feature (I have sadly shattered three already).

And of course there is always talk of improving the camera. In August, Apple informed some users with the iPhone 6 Plus that their iSight camera might be faulty, which was resulting in blurry pictures. They offered to replace any 6 Pluses that were purchased between certain dates. You can check to see if your phone is eligible for a replacement here.

Furthermore, rumors of enhancements to the camera on the new phone(s) have escalated including improving the camera so much so that photos will be similar to DSLR-quality photos. This is, of course, highly unlikely for the front-facing camera, but the rear-facing camera is rumored to increase to 12 megapixels, a significant quality increase from 8.

Talk of a pink iPhone has also been added to the mix, as well as a tasteful 14-karat gold model.

All in all, there seems to be an agreement among numerous reports that Apple is focusing on more internal changes with the new phone(s) rather than dramatically changing the exterior. But who knows, Apple might just surprise us all. Guess we’ll all have to wait until the 9th.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
