Are you in a super-fast area?

Everyone is raving about lightning fast broadband speeds and the benefits it has! Fibre broadband opens new opportunities for your business, you can easily connect with your customers and it can help your business to develop and grow as you have a reliable, consistent connection.

Fibre-optics are the latest advancement in enabling super-fast broadband for the UK. The name ‘fibre-optic’ comes from the use of plastic or glass cables which are situated under the ground, these cables allow data to travel much faster than they do along the traditional copper cables.



Unfortunately, fibre isn't available in the whole of the UK yet – the majority of large towns and cities now have access to the new technology but some areas aren't covered! 

There’s now a quick and easy way to find out if you’re in a super-fast area by clicking this link and simply entering your postcode or telephone number: https://www.samknows.com/broadband/broadband_checker

Apple launches iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case

Apple has launched their first battery case priced at £79.00, the Apple iPhone 6s Smart Battery is available in two colours, charcoal grey or white and is well-suited for the iPhone 6 or 6s. Apple claims that their charger case can increase battery life by up to 25 hours.

For quite some time charger cases have been available via online marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay but this is Apple’s first take on the product itself. Third-party cases range from around £8-£20 for a standard case which will charge your iPhone from 0-100 and then it would need to be charged at the plug socket to be used again.

Apples’ overview of the case:

“The Smart Battery Case is engineered specifically for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6, to give you even longer battery life and protection. The soft microfibre lining on the inside helps protect your iPhone, while the soft elastomer hinge design makes it easy to put the case on and take it off again. On the outside, the silky, soft-touch finish of the silicone exterior feels great in your hand.”

The 6s Smart Battery Case is a silicone case with a prominence on the back where the extra battery supply is. Consumers are unimpressed with its ‘hump’ – linking it to the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the case is said to add considerable bulk to the iPhone 6s – which is the thinnest iPhone yet.  

Here is a picture of the iPhone 6s with the Smart Battery Case on the phone – found on the Apple Website

What do you think of Apple's new battery case? Will you be buying one any time soon?
