iPhone 11 Pro vs Samsung S20+ Battery Test

iPhone 11 Pro vs Samsung S20+ Battery Test

Hi Guys and welcome to 123myit, in this video we will show you, which phone, has the best battery life out of the iPhone 11 Pro vs the Samsung S20+.

iPhone 11 pro vs Samsung Battery Results

And the results might surprise you. It seems Apple might have been lying to you when they said the iPhone 11 Pro has Video playback streaming of up to 11 hours. Well in our test of YouTube streaming the iPhone 11 Pro only lasted for 8 hours 17 mins. Which is a long way short of the 11 hours that Apple suggested on their website. With the Samsung S20+ still on 26% of battery life and was the clear winner in this test. Which is pretty amazing when you consider the Samsung has a bigger screen than the iPhone 11 Pro.

The last few mins of the streaming battery test.

Battery Sizes

The battery’s in each phone are different sizes. With the iPhone 11 Pro being lithium-Ion 3046 mAh battery and the Samsung s20+ having a lithium polymer 4500 mAh battery. This means the Samsung’s battery is bigger. Therefore, you would expect the Samsung to win. However, I guess, the take home in this test is the information on the Apple website could be seen and misleading. Since in our test it fell short about 2 and a half hours worth.

But, how would you ever know unless you had a YouTube channel like 123myIT to tell you.

Guys please feel free to let me know any other video or articles you would want me to take a look at. I am always looking for great feedback.

Hi guys and welcome to 123myIT. In this video, we will show you everything you need to know about the iPhone SE in three minutes. The iPhone SE is basically an iPhone 8 with the A13 Bionic processor from the iPhone 11. Pricing for the iPhone SE 2 starts at $399 USD and it comes in three different colours, Black, White and Product Red.

What you get inside the box iPhone SE 2

First up in the box you will find the documentation, Quick start guide, SIM card eject tool, Warranty information and Apple stickers. Next you have the iPhone SE itself. Other accessories are Earpods with lighting connector. Lighting USB cable a five watt USB charger which will take 2 hours and 45 minutes to charge to full. Not to forget that the SE supports wireless charging and is IP67 water and dust resistant.

The SE has a 4.7-inch widescreen LCD multi touch retina HD display with IPS technology. It has a 1334 by 750-pixel resolution at 326 ppi. If you compare it with the iPhone 11 Pro on the left, you can see the Pro has allot more screen real-estate on its 5.8-inch OLED display. In reality though they are almost the same body size with the Pro being 6 mm taller and 4 mm wider and only a mm thicker.

No Face Unlock, but you get Touch ID.

There is no face unlock just the all too familiar home button which has the Touch ID fingerprint scanner built in. On the front top of the SE we have a 7 megapixel FaceTime HD camera compared with 12 megapixel on the Pro. Both have a F2.2 aperture. On the back of the SE you have a single 12megapixel Wide camera, however the Pro also has a Triple Camera setup which features a Ultra Wide, Wide and Telephoto cameras.

Don’t worry out of the box the SE will still take amazing photos. Here are some comparisons between the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone SE. Can you spot the difference?

On the right side you have Sleep Wake power button and SIM card slot. Looking at the left you have the Ring Silent and Volume up and down buttons. On the bottom you have the lighting connector, microphone and stereo speakers.

A13 Processor

The SE has the same A13 processor as the iPhone 11 Pro and here is the benchmark. Single core and Multi core score are almost the so not allot of difference in terms of performance. A fast processor is important when playing games and videos or when generally moving around the iPhone.

Battery life is the same as the iPhone 8 and you can expect about 27 hours between charges. This will get you about 8 hours or streamed video playback.

How to Clean & Disinfect your iPhone & Case

Hi Guys Welcome to 123myIT.

Let me ask you this, when was the last time you cleaned and disinfect your iPhone? If your answer is never or rarely then now is probably a good time to start.

Apple has just recently updated their website on  what you can do to clean or disinfect your device. So I wanted to show you guys how to do that.

Disinfect your iPhone

To disinfect your device Apple says you can use a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe or Clorox Disinfectant Wipes. They also recommend warm soapy water and apply these with a soft lint free micro fibre cloth.

Disinfect your iPhone
Disinfect your iPhone

I would recommend warm soapy water over the a disinfectant alcohol for three reasons. The first reason is you don’t know what chemicals are in the wipes so do you research especially if you have Asthma. Seriously, it only takes a Google search to find out. Second, those chemicals could burn certain parts of your phone and the last reason wipes are just not good for the environment.

If you don’t have soap then warm clean water is the next best option and if you don’t have a microfiber cloth any lint free soft cloth will do.

Don’t press hard on your phone when cleaning

Now to clean your phone if you have a case just remove it. Here I have an iPhone case from Element I will put a product link in the description below. I will show you how to disinfect and clean your case as well.

When cleaning your device what you don’t want to do is wipe to hard or excessively. Use a soft lint free cloth. Don’t use paper towels. Make sure your device is unplugged from any cables and don’t use sprays or anything that can get into the ports.

Alright so just take your disinfectant wipe an gently wipe the device over. You just need to apply enough so its moist not wet. And you should be able to see that moisture that I have applied on the screen and cameras. Make sure you lightly do the sides of the device as well. If I turn the screen off you should be able to see the disinfectant on the screen.

Ok once you’re finished just sit your device down for 4 to 5 mins. This will give the disinfectant some time to dry and kill any Viruses or Bacteria on your phone.

Soapy warm water – Disinfect your iPhone

If you have soapy warm water and a cloth the process is the same again just apply some soapy warm water to your cloth and start wiping your device over. Again you should see that the phone is moist not wet and you should make sure you do the back and sides as well.

If you have lint or dust in the power, speaker, camera or ear piece ports you can very gently try to clean these with the SIM eject tool or a paper clip. Just be very careful not to touch or put any force on the inside of the ports. Very gently dislodge the lint or dust and then you can use a moist cotton tip to help remove the dust from the port.

The process is the same for your case. However, be careful when use alcohol wipes on your case, as some cases might not like the Alcohol wipes. I suggest just spot testing the alcohol wipes first in a part of the case you won’t see. If it works fine just wipe your case over the same way you did with your phone. With soapy warm water you should be fine to use it on your case. No issues there. Don’t forget you can use the SIM eject tool and cotton tips to get into the harder places. Once disinfected put your case down for 4 mins to dry.

Cover your phone with plastic sleve

The last idea I had might seem extreme. However, if you are working in an extreme environment like a health care worker, it might be helpful. If you are going into an area where you know there might be the potential for infection you could also try putting your phone in an airtight zip lock back. So disinfect your phone first. Once its dry pop it inside a zip lock back and seal it up. You can still use the device from inside the bag. Then when you leave the hospital or infected zone you can remove it from the bag. If you are in this situation, it might be a good idea to disinfect the device again after you remove the bag.

Stop Pop Up Ads on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Hi Guys welcome to 123myIT! In this video, we will show you how to Stop Pop-Up Ads on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Ok people so you have been browsing the web on your Apple device and suddenly for no reason you are getting Pop-up Ads. I started getting the Congratulations ads popping up on my iPhone. Therefore, I thought I would make a quick video on how to get rid of it.

The ad I was getting was offering a smart phone in return for your details. Do not fall for it. This one has my ISPs logo on it, but you pop up might have an Amazon or Apple logo.

Scams – Don’t fall for it!

Doing a quick web search will also show you that it is a scam. When we search for the web address, it takes us to a spyware removal website.

Stop Pop Up Ads on iPhone
This is the pop up Ad I was getting on my iPhone

All right let’s get rid of it. To close out of the popup tap on the rightmost icon at the bottom in the Safari browser. Then swipe the page left to close it or tap the X.

Alternatively swipe from the bottom to close the Safari browser itself. Then just swipe upwards to close it.

To Stop Pop Up Ads on iPhone

Ok Let’s check your phone settings. To disable ALL sounds, badges, and pop-up alerts. You can do this under Settings > Notifications > Show Previews > and finally select ‘Never’.

Remember, You can turn the settings back on if you want at any time. If that ends up being to strict you can turn it back on and only turn the alerts on for the Apps you want. So if I want to get alerts for App Store, go into the app and tap allow notifications.

Ok Let check your Safari settings. So go back to Settings > Safari and check that the ‘Block Pop-Ups’ button is toggled on and is green.

Next, up you can clear your Safari History so scroll down to where it says Clear History and Website Data. However, before you hit clear hit cancel and scroll down to Advanced and then tap Website data.

Delete Browsing History

This option will delete browsing history, websites data, and cookies from individual websites only it might also show you the dodgy website that has been causing the pop ups. Let us say I do not like the look of this doubleclick.net website I can tap Edit and tap the red minus sign to clear it. If I want to clear all the website data, I can go back out and just use the Clear History and Website Data button I showed you earlier. In addition, if you go back in you will see the entire website are gone now.

Next up we can reset Advertiser Identifier, to do this go into settings and privacy. The scroll down to Advertising. Make sure your limit Ad Tracking is green and then tap Reset Advertising Identifier. This will opt you out of targeted ads. Once this is done do a restart of your device for good measure.

Turn Pop-Up blocker on

If you use Google Chrome instead of Safari. Open Chrome, tap the three dots, and go into settings.

Scroll down to content settings and make sure your pop up blocked is turned on.

Next step, if you have added any new Apps. Remove it and see if the Pop ups stop. To remove the App just tap and hold and tap delete App. Pretty straight forward.

Another good tip is to install an App called Malware Bytes. So go to Malwarebytes.com Its an App that can scan for Malware. Unfortunately it is not available in Australia now, But it is meant to be available in the US and Canada. Use it to scan your phone.

If you cannot install Malware Bytes but you can look on the App Store for other simular app that can scan and remove Malware. In the App store do a search for Malware and try installing one of the other Apps there.

Last step if all else, fails do a back up to iCloud and reset your device back to factory defaults. To do this go to Settings, iCloud.

In addition, to do the reset go back to settings > General and then scroll down to reset. Then tap on Erase All Content and Settings.
