iPhone's Unexpected Shutdown Issues & What To Do


iPhone's Unexpected Shutdown Issues & What To Do

iPhones have fallen recently victim to a serious battery problem. Apple has stated that this effects only iPhone 6s that was manufactured between September and October 2015. However, it has been discovered that the shutdown malfunction also exists in the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s Plus, in addition to iPhone 6s devices. And I can confirm that on a personal level as my iPhone 6 keeps shutting off when it is at around 40% of battery life remaining. Unless plugged in, it will not restart. And when I do plug it in, it jumps back up to 40-45%. These issues started after an update to iOS 10.1.1.

Thanksgiving Travel Cheat Sheet


Thanksgiving Travel Cheat Sheet

As security measures ramp up around the holidays with higher volumes of travelers, and with pat-downs and new scans, navigating packed airports and overbooked flights just got a bit dicier. Expect that you'll have lots of company in your quest to share a turkey dinner with relatives

Best place to go during the Thanksgiving Holiday? Overseas. There, they don't care about Thanksgiving. If you travel directly, you are likely to experience minute crowds compared to domestic travel.

DO:

Call to confirm
Delayed or canceled flights are a major cause of holiday stress. Call the airlines within 24 hours of departure to confirm your flight information. You can also sign up for text and email alerts about flight delays and cancellations from your airline.

How To Never Be Late Again When Traveling


How To Never Be Late Again When Traveling


Traveling for business, you know you have to be up at certain times to make your meetings. Or make sure you are notified of an upcoming meeting. This is especially important if you are traveling across time zones as your internal clock will be thrown off.

Traveling for leisure, you might think I am on vacation, why do I need to get with an alarm. On most days, I would hope you do not. If you have any activities planned, looking to do some sightseeing, or have reservations, you will need to keep track of the time.
