Starbucks is revamping how customers can use their app. A new feature called My Starbucks Barista allows customers to place their orders by simply saying “I want a latte”. Not only can you order your morning cup of Joe this way but you can also pay for it as well, grab your cup and keep rolling with your day.
This new feature offered on the Starbucks app was announced on Monday, according to CNN. For now, My Starbucks Barista is only available to 1,000 people across the globe when it comes out this summer for iOS devices. However, don’t worry Android users, a version of My Starbucks Barista will be heading your way after the release of the iOS version, CNN reported.
However, Starbucks isn’t stopping there. They are also rolling out a new voice-ordering tool for Amazon’s Alexa. In order to get your caffeine fill all you have to do is say “Alexa, order my Starbucks” and it will place your order for you via the Starbucks app.
The hope of this new feature is to reduce the number of people waiting in line to pick up their coffee, which the app was original making a bigger problem, which of course discourages people from using it. The company aims to generate increased interest in the app by introducing the My Starbucks Barista feature.
The Apple iPhone 6 and 6 plus are finally here much to the chagrin of faithful iPhone users and general public. However, the iPhone 6 and 6 plus, combined with the iOS 8 have also brought with them many problems. From issues to not being able to hear during calls, red & blue screens and several others, they are enough to drive anyone using one of these phones mad. We here at Mr Phix, the replacement screen experts, understand your frustrations which is why we have put together this list detailing each problem and their solutions.
– Rapid Battery Drain = Although Apple has had issues in the past with other previous versions of the iPhone cel losing battery life too quickly, the iPhone 6 sometimes goes through some real sudden battery drops in battery life or drain. This can be due to the fact that this phone has a higher and larger resolution display as well faster processors and many other added battery draining features.
Fix = There could be an app causing the battery to drain really fast. Go to Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage – Here you can take a look at exactly what apps are using most of your battery and draining it. You can either disable the app or try un-installing it. Also, you should lower the brightness on your screen display.
– No SIM card error Glitch = Although this problem is not as rampant as others, there are few people who have reported their iPhone 6 suddenly showing “No SIM card” or “Invalid SIM”
Fix = Try restarting your phone by turning it on and off again. You can also try toggling the Airplane mode by switching it on and off a few times to see if that resolves the issue. Try making sure that your current software is up to date as well. Remove current SIM card and try it on another device similar to yours or you can also try a different SIM card on your phone also. There could be a chance that your SIM card is dirty or damaged. Remove the SIM card, use a pencil eraser to clean the gold contacts. You should then blow away or remove any debris left over before inserting the SIM card back to your phone. If, after trying all of these steps the phone still does not recognizes your SIM card, then contact your local carrier or Apple. – iOS 8 bugs = Even though all softwares experience bugs at the beginning, the iOS 8 bugs appear to be more frequent than other previous versions. From Safari crashing randomly, phone rebooting on its own and several other issues, the bugs in iOS 8 are enough to annoy and frustrate many users.
Fix = Other than waiting on Apple and apps to update in order to fix their bugs. There is really no solution users can perform on their own. As before, make sure your phone is always updated to the latest version.
Problem: Red Screen = Several iPhone 6 and 6 plus users have complained about their phone’s screens going red. Most times the Red screen problem appears to resolve itself.
Fix = You can try simultaneously holding down the Home & the Sleep/Wake buttons. Hold the buttons for 10 seconds, or until you see the Apple logo. However, while the phone may restart normally, some users complain about the problem coming back. If this is the case then if could be a software glitch issue such as a corrupted backup or file. The solution for this would be restoring your phone through iTunes. It can also be a hardware failure on the phone itself, whereas you should contact Apple. You can arrange to have your iPhone 6 or 6 plus replaced altogether. – Issue: Cracked screen = Many users are complaining that their iPhone 6 and 6 plus screens are easily damaged. Nevertheless, very few users are able to have a phone without ever experiencing the dreaded cracked screen. Whether it may be by dropping your phone or some other way, this is one of the most expensive problems that can happen to your phone.

There are many other problems affecting iPhone 6 and 6 plus users including:

Touch ID working to several others.
You can read the entire list here of other issues you may experience with your iPhone 6 or 6 plus.
Each Fingerprint reader is unique and matched or coded to only that phone
Apple pairs each individual Touch ID sensor cable to each individual iPhone it’s installed in.
If you remove a Touch ID sensor from an iPhone 5s fingerprint reader, and install it in another, identical iPhone 5s , that sensor will fail to work. The Mr Phix Team looked closer at the situation after a request from a client who wanted to swap screens from one iPhone 5s to another. This was due to damage on one of the phones. The client owned both phones and wanted to mix the two to create the best unit using parts from both phones. My tech swapped the screens and had issues with the fingerprint reader following the swap. After extensive testing and removal and re-seating of all of the component,s we decided to return the original reader to the phone it belonged to. We then performed a hard reset and the reader was then returned.
Conclusion is that the fingerprint reader cannot be successfully replaced without losing function
Techs…DO NOT!!! damage the reader during disassemble process. It will not resolve, ONLY the original reader will function on each particular iPhone 5s phone.
