The new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus launched by Apple have some feature and design upgrades from last year’s models, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Three notable features that makes the iPhone 8 series stand out is the introduction of the A11 Bionic processor, cameras improved with bigger and faster sensors for top notch photography, and the fascinating wireless charging feature. Some of the reasons why you should not have a second thought in buying an iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus are as follows:
Apple’s integration of the True Tone feature is not only entrancing but also provides good light tones that match with the exposure of the surrounding light. This ensures clarity in open areas as well as closed ones be it a warm sunny day or a breezy night. The colours visible on screen renders a perfect display for viewing any content from documents to photos, videos, or even playing games. The quality of the display ensures that the graphic is in-depth in terms of perception and enhances the images for impeccable clarity.
The most remarkable feature of integrating the A11 Bionic processor in the iPhone 8 series ensures that even the photo-processing can be done in real time, a feature that is still a dream to be made true in most other phones. Apple has optimized its processor for rendering a seamless hardware and software integration that would not only ensure the multi-functionality of the phone but also allow for upgrading with the latest IOS for a good number of years. The enhancement of this processor is clearly visible through the different portrait modes introduced in the camera, during the use of AR apps, and high-end game processing without lags.
Apple’s camera features have always stood out in all of its models, and it is no less in the iPhone 8 series. Apart from the extraordinary camera, the video features include 240fps slow motion video shooting in 1080p (slow motion in HD mode) and 4K video recording at 60fps. While the slow motion modes are usually restricted, Apple takes it a notch higher by allowing its iPhone 8 users to shoot any high speed events in slow motion for unlimited duration in HD quality. The shooting of 4K videos at the rate of 60 frames/second ensures that the video is smooth with high resolution, and adds a filmy quality with no need for any external filters to sharpen the images.
This feature is more accurate on the iPhone series than any other Android model as it does not require an exact setting in order to seat itself properly for charging.
These are some of the most amazing reasons why the Apple iPhone 8 could be your next buy.
Hair loss is a common condition that could be a result of hormonal change, medical condition, or even hereditary issues. It can affect men, women, and children alike. Excessive hair loss from the scalp is known as baldness. It most commonly occurs due to old age. Some people don’t mind getting baldness treated, while others look for prevention and restoration.
There are various hair loss treatments available. Therefore, make sure you consult a doctor before choosing the one.
Hair loss can be classified into four types.
The onset of hair loss depends on the cause. It could occur suddenly or could gradually affect the scalp or even the entire body. Hair loss could be temporary or permanent, depending up on the underlying cause.
Symptoms of hair loss could be as follows.
The following factors are the most common causes of hair loss.
Certain conditions and risks are passed down through genes. If you have a family history of alopecia, then there is a higher risk of hair loss. In this case, the condition is quite predictable. It could start with puberty or the mid 20s.
Our hormones are responsible for the overall healthy functioning of the body. When they are out of balance, they could lead to various metabolic problems and skin problems including hair fall. A common hormone imbalance causing hair fall is thyroid problem.
A certain adverse event in life could lead to sudden hair loss. Trauma can be a cause for rapid hair loss. Physical conditions like surgery, high fever, and rapid weight loss can also lead to hair loss. Another lifestyle factor that causes hair fall is excessive styling and cosmetic treatments.
Radiation therapy to the head could lead to permanent damage to the follicles. The hair on the affected part may not grow back the same or not grow back at all.
Most medicines cause side effects when taken for a prolonged period. And some drugs cause hair fall. Sometimes, supplements can also cause hair loss, e.g., vitamin A intake.
There’s just something about a classic pick up truck. As far as stature and power, the following trucks led the way as far as impressive styling, engine power, hauling and off road capabilities that, no doubt, inspired the design of many pickups on the road today.
Here’s our list of the six most tried and true pickup trucks in history:
When I was a kid, all the cool teens had a Ford Bronco, but those with a limited edition Baja Bronco were king of the road. Why? As far as off-roading capabilities, the Baja offered a powerful 302-cid V8 paired with a C4 automatic, plus drivers got a impressive boost due to the high cut rear wheel wells and flares, which left ample room for huge tires. The Baja screamed daring adventure roll cage and special enhancements made to offer heavy-duty suspension.
Ford longed to take their classic F150 off-road, but it took until 2009 for them to create the Raptor, a pick up that offered smooth driving and handling and four-wheeling on even the most extreme desert terrain. Not to mention, this truck could haul an 8000-pound trailer. No problem! Offered in a SuperCrew cab and SuperCab configuration, the Raptor also featured a 4WD system based on the standard F-150, plus urethane bump stops and internal-bypass Fox Racing shocks, which allowed for smooth-riding suspension over the roughest roads and highest jumps.
More of a conversion kit than a model truck, Napco (otherwise known as the Northwest Auto Parts Company) made up for the fact that 1950s pickups didn’t come in 4WD (opposed from Dodge). So Napco designed a 4WD offered a conversion kit that let Chevy, Fords, and GMC owners get the 4WD power they longed for. By the year 1957, pick up manufacturers finally caught on and began installing Napco Power-Pak 4WD conversions on their assembly line pick ups.
While GM and Ford enthusiasts may have issue with this truck, one can hardly match the ruggedness of the Dodge Ram of the early 90’s with it’s Cummins diesel engine. In fact, you can still witness the impact of this redesigned Ram on many GM and Ford trucks to this day, with it’s “big rig” styling.
Prior to the Ford F-150, the Highboy was king of the Ford pick up empire. A tough-as-nails truck renowned for it’s ultra-rugged driving capabilities on any terrain, the Highboy was named for its sky-high frame and 35-inch tall tires that was inches taller than any Jeep, Dodge, or GM on the market. After 1977, the Highboy was considered a “Lowboy” as it was constructed at least 2-inches lower, which is why the original pre-1977 model is now considered a collector’s item.
When a celebrity race car driver pairs up with an auto manufacturer, sometimes the results can be disappointing, which was sort of the case when Rod Hall collaborated with Chrysler to birth the Rod Hall Signature Edition Dodge pick up truck. Only 33 of these beauties were made, and despite the Dodge Ram 150 base design, bed-mount light bar and driving lights, and slick pre-runner front and rear bumpers, for some reason Dodge plopped in a whimpy 318-cid V8 with only 170 hp. Despite the fact, this truck continues to be a collector’s item among pick up truck buffs.
The pickup truck is synonymous with America. It’s tough. It works hard. And it has no problem getting dirty to get the job done. This is likely why the pickup truck continues to be among the best selling vehicle in North America. Regardless of if you’re part of team Dodge, Ford, or Chevy, you know that owning a truck offers a truly unique driving experience compared to any sedan, small compact, or even an SUV.
Here are our top reasons to super-size your driving experience to a pickup truck:
If it’s room you desire, ignore any desires to buy a sleek, compact car and turn to a pickup instead. Seriously, a recent Chevy Silverado offers ample legroom and cargo space for a comfortable daily commute or road trip because who wants a leg cramp to start the work day. Passengers can literally stretch their legs out in a roomy four full pickup truck with ample room for tools and everything you need.
Perhaps power and hauling capabilities are your biggest concern when thinking about pickup truck ownership. However, believe it or not safety is a huge benefit of pickup truck ownership. positive! Think about the safety features built in to most full-size trucks—you get a caged cab, vehicle stability, safety seatbelt systems, side impact protection, and even trailer sway control already built into your vehicle.
Sure, if you own a pickup truck you kind of open yourself up to helping every single person you know move house. However, when it comes to hauling your own stuff, you can’t go wrong with a pickup truck. Take a truck like the Chevy Silverado for example, you can suddenly haul up to 12,000 pounds no problem thanks to the impressive torque and horsepower. Suddenly your vehicle can easily transition from work truck to off road camping vehicle of your dreams.
If it’s a boost you want, a pickup is your best bet when it comes to the best visibility on the road. The height of a standard pickup truck cabin permits a view over most other vehicles on the highway. Is that a traffic jam 6 blocks ahead? Luckily, you’ll be able to see it and take a quick detour if you drive a pickup. Not to mention, the cab of a pick up offers the driver and all passengers all-round visibility, front, back and side thanks to huge rear and side-view mirrors.
Leading us into the next reason why trucks are such great vehicles.
Putting aside all jokes about overcompensating, there is little doubt that many individuals choose to drive a pickup for the sheer power it offers. While Ford, Chevy, and GM differ as far as horses under the hood, most current trucks offer between 350- to 440-horsepower (hp) if you consider a Ford F-250 or a Dodge Ram.
Pickup trucks represent the American dream. And while car buyers have vered from SUV to sports coupe over the past few years, pickup truck buffs tend to harken to the past when it comes to sticking with their love of the classic pickup truck. Many of the following classic trucks in good condition sell for a pretty steep price among collectors.
Here are four of the most coveted collectible pickup trucks:
Considered neither a car nor a truck, the Bronco was unique as far a broaching the needs of both a car and a truck driver, which explains it’s motto “the best of both worlds”. This cube shaped truck debuted for 1966 in rudimentary form for a mere $2400 (base model). However, it was the impressively wide (at 92-inches) wheelbase that offered serious off roading, smooth highway driving, and extreme towing capabilities in a single vehicle. Touted literally as a sports car with 4-wheel drive, the Bronco was mounted on coil springs and outfitted with a V8 engine that could literally take drivers from camping to off roading while offering the style and comfort of a family wagon. Today, this year range of Ford Bronco retails for $25k plus.
Behold the inaugural Ford F-series pickup. Think of it as the crown of America’s trucking obsession. Considering this Ford series has ranked in the best-selling for decades, many pickup truck owners are still firmly planted in the Ford camp thanks to this very vehicle. If you’re lucky enough to find a 1948 Ford F1 for sale, you can expect to pay upwards of $30K depending on condition and customizations.
Looking at this truck, there’s little wonder that it was originally designed in the early 1940’s for military purposes. However, the Dodge Power Wagon caught on in the mainstream market due to its ability to travel virtually anywhere. The impressive 4×4 capabilities of this truck was so good that it there were no revisions until it was discontinued in 1968. If you spot one, expect to pay $45k or more!
It was called the “Super” for good reason. This high-option, everyday use pickup truck boosted unique interior design with a/c, tach dash, power brakes and steering, headliners, and tilt columns. Plus, the exterior could be costoumize with special paint and trim. Find one and expect to pay up to $30k for a model in good condition with lots of options.
