Introduction

Apple’s new iPhone 14’s are the most durable ever. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to think about protecting them. In fact, you should!

Let’s start with the basics — are your phone screens made of glass?

Glass is a great material for screens because it’s strong and scratch-resistant. It’s also the most popular screen material among smartphones. The iPhone 14 has a glass screen made of Ceramic Shield Glass, which is considered to be one of the toughest around at this time. But if you’re worried about your phone getting damaged from everyday wear and tear, don’t worry! You can still protect your phone without sacrificing its sleek design with a thin layer of protection that covers its surface in case something falls on it or if you accidentally drop it.

Is there any difference between iPhone 14 glass and other phone manufacturers?

While iPhone 14 glass is made of Ceramic Shield Glass, other phone manufacturers use different types of glass. Some manufacturers make their phone screens out of plastic, which is cheaper than sapphire but also less durable and scratch-resistant than the premium material used in iPhones. Other phones are made with sapphire. This material is the strongest and most scratch-resistant of them all, but it’s more expensive than its competitors because it takes more effort to produce—so you don’t see it on older models or budget devices from Samsung or Huawei (for example).

How do you protect an iPhone screen?

How do you protect your iPhone screen? There are several options:

• Use a screen protector. The slimmest option, this thin plastic film is designed to keep your glass from shattering when dropped or banged against other objects. They’re cheap, easy-to-apply (as long as you get the right one) and come in many colors, textures and finishes that can change how your phone looks. But they don’t offer much protection from drops or dings—and can even make it harder to swipe across the screen because they create friction between your finger and device.

• Use a case. This is by far the most popular way for people to safeguard their phones against damage—but there are so many styles out there that it can be hard to know where to start! You could go with something super simple like an Otterbox commuter case ($60) or opt for something more eye-catching like an Incipio NGP Crystal Bumper ($35). If you want something with more flare but still offers protection against drops and bumps, we suggest trying out a clear TPU case from Spigen like their Ultra Thin Fit Series Crystal Clear Case ($13).

   

   

• Don’t use either option at all! While some people choose not to take any precautions whatsoever with their iPhone 14s—and we don’t blame them—we strongly advise against this approach if yours came preinstalled with an inferior display panel that isn’t up par with other high-end devices on the market right now (such as Samsung’s Galaxy S16 series).

   

   

• Lastly, why not have a combination of all! You can use a transparent phone case so that you can still admire the newly purchase iPhone together with a tempered glass screen protector to protect your screen from cracks and scratches and a warranty that covers 1 time free screen replacement (an original manufacturer screen) all in one. The best part is that you can get this combo at only $19!

   

Do screen protectors really work?

You’ve probably heard that screen protectors aren’t effective. But the truth is, not all screen protectors are created equal. Screen protectors can be made of glass or plastic and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and shades. Some screen protectors are designed to work with cases while others can be used without one.

Some people also like to use anti-glare properties on their phones because they let you use your device in bright light without being blinded by reflections off the display. If you’re going for a matte finish, then opt for a protector that doesn’t have anti-glare properties as it will get dirty quickly from fingerprints and dust particles landing on it throughout the day.

Why do you have to pay so much for privacy or anti-glare screen protectors?

When it comes to screen protectors, the main difference between anti-glare and privacy is the material used. Anti-glare uses a plastic film while privacy is made from glass.

The way you can tell whether a screen protector is made of glass or plastic is by touching it with your finger—if it feels like glass, then you know that it’s going to be more durable and easier to apply than one made from plastic.

The reason why many people prefer anti-glare over privacy (or vice versa) has nothing to do with how effective each type of screen protector is at protecting their iPhone’s displays—it all boils down to personal preference. Some people just don’t want others in close proximity to be able to see what they’re doing on their phones while others prefer not using any kind of cover because they think that there’s no point in doing so if they aren’t buying an expensive phone case or cover.

Are thicker screen protectors better than thin ones?

While thicker screen protectors may be more durable, they can also be a bit more difficult to apply. The main difference between thin and thick screen protectors is how much of the image you see on your iPhone’s display and how sensitive your phone can remain with your finger swiping it every now and then.

A thin glass protector will have a 0.4mm thickness (about 1/32 of an inch). It will cover your entire screen and provide protection against scratches, nicks, dings, and other everyday wear-and-tear damage that might come from putting your phone in your pocket or purse.

A thick tempered glass protector has a thickness of about 0.7mm (1/32″), which means it covers less of the display than a thinner one does because it needs enough room to attach itself properly without affecting touchscreen responsiveness or quality—but if this is what you’re looking for in an iPhone 14 case then we recommend checking out some other options instead!

Will a screen protector stop my iPhone from cracking if I drop it?

If you’re wondering if a screen protector will stop your phone from cracking if you drop it, the answer is no. Screen protectors are not designed to absorb impact, and will not prevent the glass from shattering when hit by an object or surface. They do help prevent scratches though, so there’s that!

Do all iPhone models have the same size screens? What about different sizes of iPhones like Plus, Pro and Max?

iPhone screens come in three flavours:

• iPhone Plus (5.5-inch)
• iPhone Pro (6.5-inch)
• iPhone Max (6.7-inch)

   

Should I put a screen protector on my new iPhone 14 or wait a while?

If you’re planning to buy a new iPhone 14 and have no interest in buying a screen protector, then don’t. But if you do want to buy one, it’s not too late. You can still go ahead with your plans to get an iPhone 14 and put on the protective cover before you do so. However, if you want to wait for a bit and see how things shake out before making any decisions about whether or not to get a screen protector for your new iPhone 14, then that’s perfectly fine too! But just be sure to protect it really well as you do not want a $1,500 purchase to go wrong in the first week of purchase! On top of just getting a cover for like $30 and a screen protector for another $20, why not just get a combo set plus a free screen replacement warranty at just $19.90?

Does it matter what kind of case I use if I have a screen protector on the front of my iPhone 14 too?

First, the case is a good idea, but it’s not necessary. The iPhone 14’s glass screen is durable and resistant to scratches and cracking. If you do get a case for your iPhone 14, make sure that it’s thin and light; easy to put on and take off; has a raised edge around the screen (to keep it from directly contacting surfaces); and has a good grip so that you can hold onto your phone without dropping it.

How do I get dust, dirt and lint off my new iPhone 14 screen protector before I put it on my phone?

There are many ways to get dust, dirt, and lint off your iPhone 14 screen protector before you put it on your phone. Here are some tips:

• Use the microfiber cloth that comes with the screen protector. This is by far the easiest way to get rid of dust, dirt, and lint. You probably already have one at home!
• Use a lint roller to pick up any remaining bits of dust or hair after using the microfiber cloth.
• Use tape if there’s leftover dirt that won’t come off no matter what you try (the tape will stick right to it). Just be careful not to scratch up your screen while removing it!
• *Don’t touch your new iPhone 14 screen protector with dirty hands!

How do you clean your already applied iPhone 14 screen protector without scratching it?

To clean your already applied iPhone 14 screen protector without scratching it, use a soft cloth to gently wipe away dust, dirt and lint. A microfiber cloth is great for this task since it won’t leave any residue. You should also be able to use a damp cloth if you don’t have any microfiber available.

When cleaning fingerprints from the screen protector itself, try not to use anything that could scratch it or cause any damage whatsoever. If you’re dealing with oily fingerprints on your screen protector (like after eating greasy food or playing games), then a soft damp cloth will work best for getting rid of those pesky marks!

The iPhone 14 is more durable than ever but adding a great protective glass shield is still a good idea.

It’s true that the iPhone 14 has some incredible new durability features, but it’s still a good idea to add a screen protector.

Screen protectors are available in many different styles and materials. Some are better than others, so it’s important to choose the right one for your needs.

Conclusion

The iPhone 14 is arguably the most durable phone on the market today. It’s also one of the most expensive. So if you’re going to spend $1,500+ on a new device (or more), it makes sense to protect your investment! There are several ways to do this, including getting an iPhone case or a screen protector but why not just do it all with a free warranty for a one time screen replacement in one at just $19.90?

Whether you use your computer for office, business, or home, you can never afford to lose your data. All your images, videos, documents, and other files have a certain importance, memories, and value.

Data loss can happen due to number of reasons, such as hard drive failure, virus attack, file corruption, etc. It can happen anytime; therefore, creating a backup is necessary, and it must be done in the right way if you want to save your data from any loss.

In this article, we will tell you all you need to know about computer backups. We will also share how you get to it the right way or get a professional service to increase the reliability of your data.

External Storage Devices

The easiest and most traditional way of creating backups is the external storage devices. We used CDs, DVDs, and floppy drives more than a decade ago to store important data. Now, we have advanced technology in the shape of external hard drives, USB flash drives, Network Attached Storage (NAS), SD cards, etc.

You can use an external storage device to create a backup of your data. For instance, you can use a hard drive and make a copy of all your data and save it on the drive. It will be useful if your internal hard drive fails or if there is any other issue with the data.

You only need to copy and paste the data you want to back up; It’s not rocket science. However, you can compress some files to save more files in less storage. Choose appropriate the storage according to the data size, and then create a backup.

Local Backup

You can also create a local backup on your local storage, i.e., the hard drive already connected to your computer. Many users create a local backup using various tools and keep that backup in a separate partition.

The local backup is helpful if you accidentally delete your data, or if some of your data is corrupted. You can restore the backup and get your files back. It is a lifesaver, but this backup can also be lost in case of hard drive failure.

Cloud Storage

Cloud storage is the best way to keep your data safe. Once you have your data in the cloud, you can breathe a sigh of relief because it is more reliable than storing it on an external hard drive. Your external drive can be lost or damaged, or anything can happen to it. But cloud storage is more secure and reliable.

Nowadays, creating a backup in the cloud is pretty easy. There are dozens of cloud service providers, and you can easily pick the best one according to the size of your data and your budget. Whether you need the storage for personal use, business, company, or large corporate sector, all types of cloud services are available and just a few taps away.

You can also use a free cloud storage service, such as Google Drive, Mega, pCloud, and TeraBox to store some data. While their free storage is limited, you can increase it by buying any of their plans.
All you need to do is upload your data to the cloud, and then you can access it and restore it whenever and wherever you want.

Backup Software and Tools

There are various backup software and tools available that you can use to create a backup. Operating systems also have built-in tools, such as Time Machine on Mac and Windows Backup for Windows.

You can either use built-in tools to create a backup or a third-party tool. There are many backup tools available that make creating a backup easier and quicker.

But if you think you do not have a lot of data, then copying and pasting in external drives and uploading to a cloud storage is more than enough. You can do it on your own without using any of these tools.

Basically, these tools are complicated and take time, so you can do everything on your own if you have personal data only. For larger data, you need to use suitable software or tools.

How to Do Backup Management Properly?

If you want to keep your files safe from data loss, then you should make several backups of your data. Making one backup is good, but making multiple backups secures your data better.

The best way is to create two backups on different external drives and one backup in the cloud. It is a very reliable combination of data backup. But if you want to save some money, you can create one backup on an external drive and one on the cloud.

If you have made backups on the cloud as well as external drives, there are almost no chances of losing data. You can recover from any of these whenever you want.

Creating a backup is not enough because you also need to update it periodically. As your files increase and data is updated, you also need to create a new backup. Depending on the importance of data and other factors, you can create backups daily, bi-weekly, etc. It is better to back up data daily or at least once a week.

Moreover, you can also use the automatic backup feature of the cloud storage service. You can dedicate a folder and save all their important data there. The cloud will automatically sync the files and upload them to the cloud, so you won’t have to do anything.

Smartphone users often struggle with short battery life, and it is mostly because of poor battery health. However, you can still improve the battery life if you know the right way.

There could be some unwanted applications or features draining your battery for no reason. In this case, you can improve the battery life to some extent and use the battery for a longer time after a complete charge by implementing some simple tips and tricks.

In this article, we will share some useful and sensible ways to improve phone battery life. Obviously, we won’t recommend putting the device on Airplane mode as that would disable all of the features of your phone and render your phone significantly less functional. We have collected some effective tips & tricks that can improve battery life for sure. You can try them and enjoy a better battery life.

1) Power Saving Mode

The first way to improve the battery life is to use Power Saving mode or Low Power mode. You can find this feature in either Android or iPhone, and it is a useful feature in preventing the unwanted use of the battery.

With this single feature, all of the phone’s features will be optimised to keep your battery life as long as possible. It is a go-to feature that you can turn on whenever you want with just one tap.
It controls the background usage of the applications, screen brightness, syncing, location checking, CPU speed, GPU frequency, and a lot of things on its own. It is specifically designed to do everything that can help you save battery.

2) Brightness Control

Screen brightness also drains too much battery, so you need to control it according to your needs. There is no need to set the brightness to the maximum because it is not necessary, and it will also put a strain on your eyes.

It is better to decrease the brightness to an optimal level at which you can use the device without any hassle. If you are outdoors, you can increase the brightness of the screen to see it under the sun. Many users usually keep the brightness level to the lowest to maximize battery life.

3) Say No to Always On Display

Always On display is an amazing feature of Androids, and now, it is also available on iPhone 14. The display always remains on even if you are not using your device. It is handy when you want to look at the time and notifications without touching the screen, but most of the time, you don’t need it.

If you want to save battery, turn off the Always On display mode because it keeps draining your battery. But if you really need this feature, you can limit the feature to a specific duration of the day, such as working time.

4) Turn Off Vibrations

Your device vibrates when you type through the keyboard, touch the screen, there is an incoming call, etc. These vibrations also drain the battery.

You might not need vibrations in many situations, such as for the keyboard and touch screen. You can turn it off to save the battery. Plus, if you don’t want your device to vibrate on notifications, messages, and incoming calls, you can also turn it off.

5) Turn Off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (When Not in Use)

When you are not connected to any device via Bluetooth, it is better to turn it off. If your Bluetooth is left on while it is not connected to any device, it will be constantly searching for any device to connect to, and thus continually drain your phone’s power.

Secondly, when you are using your cellular data, there is no need to turn on the Wi-Fi. You can turn it off when it is not in use and then turn it on again whenever you want. Much like Bluetooth, while your Wi-Fi is turned on, it will be constantly looking for networks to join and thus consuming battery power. These two things are also battery drainers, so you can save battery life by managing them properly.

6) Look For Battery Killer Apps

You might have many applications on your device that you don’t use. But the problem is they might be consuming batteries even if you are not using them. Plus, some of the applications drain too much battery life, so you also need to check them and limit their usage.

First, you need to check which applications are using more battery. You can check the usage status of the applications in Battery Usage on Android and Battery on iOS. You will have a complete list of the applications and their usage. It will give you a better idea of which application is draining the battery most.

After identifying the applications, you can either uninstall them or limit their usage. For instance, you can limit their background activity of location checking and syncing.

7) Background Usage Limits

Even if you are not using the applications, there are many that are running in the background, and you will never know about it.

You need to limit the background usage of the applications. You can manage which applications are using the battery by running in the background. Limit their usage by imposing restrictions. If you don’t use the application or you use it once in a blue moon, you should put the application to Sleep.

Does Your Battery Drain Quickly? Contact Star Shield

If your phone’s battery drains quickly, the most common reason is that the battery is at the end of its lifespan or it has deteriorated. If that is the case, you should get the battery replaced.

However, you don’t need to worry, as Star Shield is always here for you. We have been serving the island for more than 14 years, and we offer complete repair and replacement service with a 90-180 days workmanship guarantee.

If you are confused about buying or upgrading an SSD or HDD, then you are not alone. There are many users who struggle with how daunting it can be, and it becomes difficult for them to decide the right one for their needs.

You need to select the right one to get optimal benefits and returns on investment. But to understand and decide which one is better, you need to look at some important factors.

It is possible that the SSD could be better in one aspect and HDD in the other, so to make the right decision, you need to consider all factors and look at your requirements, budget, and constraints.

In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about SSD and HDD upgrade to decide which one is the best choice. We will also share how you can get a HDD or SSD upgrade Singapore without any hassle. 

Let us clear all your doubts and confusion, so stay with us till the end of this article.
Let’s begin!

Important Factors to Consider While Choosing SSD or HDD

We are going to discuss some important factors, and you need to make a decision related to them. After making decisions on all factors, it will be easier to choose between an SSD or a HDD.

Capacity

The first thing that you need to consider is capacity. You need to have a rough estimate of the capacity you need for storage.

For instance, if you need storage for lots of videos, audio, and other data for your personal use or business, you will need massive storage.

But if you need storage for some office and personal files, several applications, and old data, then 1 TB would be more than enough for you.

Therefore, you need to decide the capacity that you will need. HDDs generally feature a much higher storage space while SSDs are behind in this aspect. Read on and we will help you make the right decision as we go further.

Speed

There is a massive difference between the speed of an SSD and an HDD. The speed of SSD is much faster than HDD, and this is what makes it exceptional and sets it apart. People prefer SSDs because of their immense speed. It is usually 5-10 times faster or even more than an HDD.

The reason behind the fast speed of the SSD is that there are no moving parts. It stores data on chips, so accessing data is much faster.  Meanwhile, an HDD uses an arm aperture and a spinning disc to access data.

And so, you will need to decide whether you need a high speed or a normal speed. You can decide depending on the things you want to run and store on your computer, such as games, video editing software, videos, movies, and office files.

Price

Now, here comes the big difference between SSDs and HDDs. The technology of SSD is relatively new, and it has some exceptional benefits, such as speed, no noise, and compactness, but all these features come at a hefty cost. You need to pay about twice or thrice the cost of an HDD if you want to buy an SSD of the same capacity.

HDD is an old technology, and it has been around for more than half a century. At a lower cost, you can get the much larger storage of HDD. It is much cheaper than SSDs and still used for various purposes. Therefore, you should consider your budget to make the right decision after considering all of these factors.

Reliability

No one wants to lose data especially if it has unique importance. Everyone would love to have the most reliable storage drive to store data.

SSDs are more reliable than HDDs because they do not have any moving parts. Therefore, they are less prone to any physical damage. This also means that the lifetime of an SSD is much more than a HDD.

HDDs are reliable as well and have been used for a very long time. But that said, however, HDDs will not be as reliable as SSDs due to the moving parts.

Here, you need to decide whether you can compromise on reliability or not. But keep in mind that SSDs are also not 100% reliable; they are only better than the current HDD technology.

Compatibility/Interface

You also need to check whether your laptop or computer is capable of handling the storage capacity or not or whether there are compatible ports/interfaces.

Some laptops have a dedicated space for SSDs, so you can easily install the drive. But if there is no dedicated slot, you cannot use an SSD.

Which One Should You Choose?

We have discussed all the factors that help you make a decision on whether you should get an SSD or HDD upgrade. You might have made a few decisions, such as the storage capacity you need, speed, and budget.

If you need to store a large number of files, such as movies, playlists, recordings, documents, images, and other things, but you don’t need to access them often, HDD is the best option because you can get massive storage at a low price. Secondly, if you only need storage and the data won’t be accessed too frequently, HDD will be the best fit for you.

If you play games, use high-end graphics software, or work on applications that require heavy processing, you should go for an SSD. It will offer you the high speed you need for those purposes. For instance, if you are editing or making graphics, you need the faster read and write speed of an SSD to prevent lagging and stuttering.

The ideal case is to have both; you can get a suitable combination. We know SSDs are quite expensive, so if you go only for SSD, you will have to spend a lot. Thus, it is better to get an SSD of 256 or 512 GBs to run the operating system and the applications. For storage, you can use an HDD for as much capacity as you want, such as 2TB or more. This is the best scenario as you will be able to get enough storage as well as a faster speed at a low cost.

If you keep track of the battery’s health and condition, you will probably know if you need to change the battery. It is quite helpful to know because the info shown would indicate to you when you need to replace the battery before it wears out completely. It would save you from a huge inconvenience and the many problems accompanied with a worn out battery.

In this post, we will discuss the signs that tell you when you need a laptop battery replacement. If you notice any of these things, it might be time to replace your battery.

When Do You Need Laptop Battery Replacement

1) Less Runtime

A laptop battery does not deteriorate all of a sudden. It completes its expected number of charge cycles and deteriorates gradually.

When you purchase a new battery, it offers you the maximum runtime. The runtime decreases slowly as you charge your laptop and thus increases the amount of charge cycles. When the charge cycle is near or passes the maximum number of charge cycles, your laptop’s runtime will worsen.

When you experience a runtime on your laptop that is drastically reduced, it is a clear indication that you need a new laptop battery. Before the battery wears out completely, you should get a laptop battery replacement service from the nearest service provider.

2) Sudden Shutdowns

Sudden shutdowns are a big red flag for a battery’s poor health. It happens when your battery health is poor, and it cannot bear the load of your laptop. In this case, your laptop shuts down without any warning, even if your battery is full.

If you have experienced a sudden shutdown for the first time, you should be prepared to seek a laptop battery replacement. While you will experience more shutdowns as you continue using your old battery, you do have some time before the battery completely wears out but it is best to change your batteries as soon as you can to ensure the best performance.

3) Slow Charging

When the cells in the battery are weakened, they take extra time to charge. It happens because the charge of the battery drains quickly, even during the charging.

When you experience your laptop taking more time to charge, you should understand that your battery is deteriorating. The charging time will increase gradually, and the runtime will decrease.
You can check the battery status as well to get a better idea. Even if your battery is near to its death, it is still usable.

4) Overheating

If your laptop gets overheated while using it, it could be due to the battery. When the battery’s life is about to end, it gets overheated quickly, especially during charging.

Due to frequent charging and discharging, the heat dissipates, and it makes your laptop overheat. Keep in mind that there can be other reasons for overheating as well, but poor battery health is the most likely cause. Thus, it’s a good idea to get your battery checked.

Moreover, you should stop using the laptop and get the battery checked as soon as possible because the problem can worsen if you continue using it.

5) Age

The age of a laptop battery is usually 1-3 years, depending on its quality and usage. The important thing to note is the number of charge cycles because the age of your battery depends on it.

For instance, if the maximum number of charge cycles is 400 cycles, and you only charge your laptop twice a week as you do not use it frequently, then the battery can last 3-4 years. Thus, the main variable is the number of charge cycles.

After purchasing a laptop or battery, you should pay attention to the number of times you charge the laptop every week. It can help you estimate the number of charge cycles per year and give you a better idea of when your battery will wear out.

It is good to get the laptop battery replaced when it has been charged near the maximum number of charge cycles.

6) Battery Replacement Warning

Operating systems, such as Windows, give you a battery replacement warning. The age and health of the battery are calculated, and this helps the computer know your need to replace the battery.

If you see any warning related to a battery replacement, you should get the battery replaced as soon as you can. The warning appears even if the battery is fully charged. Plus, it would also tell you that your computer might shut down suddenly. You will also see a battery service warning in Mac when the battery requires replacement.

7) Battery Report Indications

The best way to keep an eye on the battery’s health, performance, and remaining life is to get a battery report.

Windows gives you a detailed battery report that has almost everything you need to know. You get to know about battery usage, runtime, battery capacity history, battery’s estimated life, and a lot more.
Once you look at the detailed report, you can get an idea of how much time your battery has left and when you need the laptop battery replacement service. You can generate a report by using PowerShell and then entering powercfg /batteryreport /output “C:\battery-report.html” into the console and pressing enter.

On Mac, you can check the battery’s cycle count in the System Information. It indicates the current and the maximum cycle count, so you get a better idea of how much time your battery has before it dies.

You might have heard about extended warranty services. If not, then you should know about it because it is a lifesaver. You might have various questions and queries related to the service. Therefore, we are going to discuss everything about extended warranty Singapore. We will clear your doubts and share everything you need to know. Most importantly, we will share an amazing extended warranty Singapore service that you can get for maximum benefits.

What is an Extended Warranty?

When you purchase a new electronic device, you get a warranty that covers different accidental and manufacturer defects. In case there is any problem with the product, you get it repaired or replaced with a new product.

The warranty that you can get from the manufacturer is limited. It could be 1-3 years, depending on the product, but usually, it is one year. Once this warranty expires, any problem with the product is your responsibility; you cannot ask the manufacturer to repair it or claim the warranty. This is where the extended warranty comes into play.

The extended warranty is an additional warranty of your device that you buy from a third party. The service is provided based on the device and plans you select for the warranty. After the expiration of the official warranty, the extended warranty is quite helpful. It covers your device from accidental damage, unexpected breakdown, or theft.

The services offer repairs and replacements when needed. You only need to pay for the subscription cost, and the cost of repair and replacement will be the company’s responsibility.
