Prone to pixel burn-ins (icons on the phone can imprint on the screen panel).Vulnerable to humidity and water damage.Better contrast ratio since black emerges without light from background.Energy-saving – to display “black” a pixel just needs to switch off.Smartphones are thicker to make room for backlight.Each screen technology has its’ pros and cons as below: Retina DisplayĪpple uses IPS LCD and OLED screen technologies. LiDAR technology also improves AR (augmented reality), allowing your phone to build better maps of a room or add more detail. ![]() The LiDAR sensor enables new iPhone models to improve focus accuracy for better background blur as well as provide better low-light performance. It then creates a map of dimensions detected to create a 3D image (similar to the way Face ID works, but in longer distances). LiDAR uses lasers to assess distances and depth by measuring the distance of the light traveled. The latest being the LiDAR sensor on the iPhone 12. This control of the processor design also allows Apple to better incorporate camera technologies and sensors into their phones. Without this control over the total system design Android phones need to rely on megapixels to provide quality images. Because Apple has full control over their processor design, they have optimized the ISP to work with their iOS. It controls all the variables - from the light sensitivity (ISO), focus, shutter speed - which determines the image quality. It analyzes the raw images to determine their color and size. The ISP is the “brain” of the camera which turns light gathered by the sensors into images. Thanks to the Bionic Chip, Apple has better Image Signal Processing (ISP). Have you ever wondered why iPhone cameras provide better quality photos compared to cameras in Android phones? Despite them having a lower megapixel count? Sometimes, picture quality is not just about the size of the camera’s sensor, but also how the picture is processed. Back when Windows mobile, Palm OS, and Nokia Symbian were the market leaders, smartphones were seen more as a “capable” PDA for businessmen, techies, and entrepreneurs.Īpple iOS - by focusing on simple and intuitive UI, makes their devices so simple to use, anyone can use them. Introduced in 2007 for the first-generation iPhone, it revolutionized the mobile sector. IOS is the operating system Apple designed for its mobile devices. As such, with an iPhone you are less likely to experience bugs, heating issues, and sub-optimal performance. This allows them to optimize the hardware with software (and vice-versa). Compare Qualcomm which needs to create a one-size-fits-all chipset for all OEMs (including Samsung and Xiaomi).įinally, given their control over the design of the Bionic chip, Apple also has full control of all the components in their phones. Given they are designing processors just for their phones, Bionic Chip can also be tailored to Apple’s requirements. This allows Apple to design their own processors from scratch, taking precious weeks off from the development cycle. Apple has the advantage of having an architectural license with ARM. Qualcomm (for Android) and Apple both source their processors from ARM – a British software and semiconductor company and the market leader in the development of mobile processors.Ĭreating new chips to outperform the previous generation is a long and tedious process. Before we jump into what makes the Apple Bionic chip different from processors powering Android phones, we need to understand where it comes from. ![]() The Bionic chip is the processor which powers all of Apple’s mobile products. Let us explore five key differences: The Bionic Chip IPhones are different from Android phones in so many ways. When is the best time to buy an iPhone?.Is it worth the investment? To help you decide whether it is and, if so, to help you choose the best iPhone model for your budget we have put together a Buyer’s Guide and organized it around four questions: Prized then, as now, for its quality design, intuitive UI, and solid security features, the iPhone has rightly earned its’ place as one of the icons of the early 21 st century.īut as a premium product, it also commands a premium price. The iPhone arguably revolutionized the mobile phone industry when it was introduced in June 2007. ![]() Then got up and grabbed something for us to drink while getting our nails done. It blew my friends mind! She asked my friend and I if we wanted something to drink and then gave us our options. The entire time my friend asked Cindy questions. My friend and I are sensitive to smells, and that was wonderful to leave without a headache for once. Along with looking professional, and being spectacularly clean the place did not smell of any chemicals or products! Just clean! Such a relief. They have a large variety of colors for all nail style methods (gel, acrylic, dip etc.). Once we responded, she handed my friend their colors for the gel nail polish that was was going to get done so she could pick what she wanted. She asked me sit down, and she doubled checked to make sure that we needed a manicure and an acrylic fill. Someone greeted us as soon as we opened the door, and simultaneously someone asked me if i was the person whom had called, and I told her yes. Parking was really close to the salon and she loves that! Went inside and her reaction was incredible, she could not stop complimenting the inside. ![]() As she did with mine a long time ago! We pulled up and my friend was very pleased with the area that they are located in. Cindy is my favorite and I know she would make her nails much better. Person who answered the phone sounded very nice and polite. She got home and I was horrified! The job they did at the other location was TERRIFYING!!! I made an appointment for her and I. She decided that she would get her nails done last time she went out to Dallas with someone from work. LOVE IT! My friend just moved to Texas from Pennsylvania three m onths ago. She also tested both ways for me to see which colors to put where as well:) Amazing and detailed as always. Got Dip done on my real nails!!!!! Colors #DD71 (blue) and DD150 (silver). LONG REVIEW!!!!!! THE FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE REVIEW… Will add an UPDATED review each time I go with new pictures!! (Scroll to bottom for newest updated photos) UPDATE: Friday, May 14th, 2021 at 11:30am CST. The company was worth a valuation of $5 million in 2015 but is currently out of business. Currently, when you visit the H圜onn website all the information is available on the product but no offer is there for sale. The venture firm took part in H圜onn investment and finally received the patent in 2016. This did not get Jeff’s proposal and the deal fell through between the two. Post the Shark tank deal, Jeff and Mark had a few conversations especially on licensing the manufacturing design to be outsourced for mass production. Home Edition: It works with the standard garden hose sets in one quick motion.Sizes available in: 2.5”, 4.5” and 5” Pro Edition variants. Pro-Edition: Works with all types of Hydrants and various hose sizes. ![]() Hy-Conn product is available in two editions : Currently, there are many Quick Connect products for retail use from HQMPC, Melnor, Gorilla, etc. Storz Connectors were one of the competitors already in this niche market. Finally, Jeff goes with Mark Cuban offer and seals the deal of $1.25 million and 3 years of employment worth $300,000 to buy the company with a 7.5% royalty. This home connector was a game-changer for sharks as it opens up a huge market for retail users.ĭuring the negotiations, Mark Cuban makes the first offer of $1.25 million for 100% and quickly Kevin cuts him off with his deal of 500,000 USD, and fierce competition peps in. The entire shark team is awestruck by the idea and even Daymond checks if is there anything else in your pocket. When Robert inquiries, I have a tough time connecting to garden hoses and Stroope shares his product prototype for home use from his pocket. Kevin enquires if the Firefighter uniform company can distribute this and Stroope explains they want him to finance if they are willing to distribute it. Stroope clarifies the smaller unit is $215 and the larger one for streamer valves for $385.īarbara is not convinced that this 10+ second faster proposition will bring market from the government as they are already working with budget constraints. Recently been able to get 4 hard Purchases and some in the paperwork stage. Robert questions the adoption of how he sells it just by stating it’s fast enough. Stroope demonstrates the product and he also explains how fast it is. Jeff Stroope in his Shark Tank appearance pitched for $500,000 for 40%. On International Firefighters Day or other special anniversaries, people can make custom challenge coins to the fire department to express their high respect and gratitude to firefighters. The profession of firefighters is undoubtedly worthy of respect. Stroope had already invested 11 years of his life in the creation of H圜onn before he pitched this idea in Shark Tank for investments. It was a very demanding role and did not allow enough free time so he worked really hard during the nights and weekends to give shape to his idea. ![]() Stroope was a full-time captain of the fire brigade and maintenance supervisor. A quick video that demonstrates the easy, fast, and safe way of connecting a Hy-Conn. This is a key aspect that causes a lot of delay in case of stopping fires. H圜onn can connect to a hydrant in 3 seconds or less whereas a traditional mechanism to attach a hose to a hydrant takes almost 30 seconds. The H圜onn which is designed for the home has a connector to attach garden hoses to spigots in an easy and quick fashion. The product allows firefighters to use to save fires faster but also at home. Jeff came up with a fantastic way to design H圜onn. Every second matters in such cases as it saves lives. When Jeff Stroope’s saved many homes from a fire in Texas as Firefighter he realized some could not be saved as the time taken to connect the hydrant to the hose took time. What Happened to H圜onn post-Shark Tank?. ![]() Work hard, be happy, and be able to give back as much as I can to my parents. I went to college with the mindset of I am here to get a job at the end of the day. I don’t take that for granted and always want to make them proud and feel like their sacrifice was worth it. I can imagine as immigrants starting a life in a new country that your parents made a lot of sacrifices to come to America.ĭA: My parents sacrificed SO much to provide me with a life that was not nearly as hard as theirs.

Typically, there is a running joke that many African parents would want to see their children become, doctors, lawyers, or engineers. The pressure is more-so intrinsic I think for me. Hearing stories about how my grandfather was passionate about education and how hard he worked to provide for all his children gave me goosebumps. I learned a lot about this actually through my recent trip to Ghana. ![]() But nonetheless, education has always been very important to our family.

On college life and getting introduced to data.ĪH: As a first generation college student in my immediate family and being the oldest sibling, I felt enormous pressure to perform and excel well in college.

As well as spend too much time writing in-depth yelp reviews. I found out about Mercy through my business teacher and ended up attending a summer leadership academy in summer 2016 that fundamentally changed who I am to this day I believe.
