iPhone 6 Plus owners use twice as much data as iPhone 6 users and other interesting facts

DID you know that your choice in smartphone could directly influence how much data you use?
A report from American multinational software company Citrix found users of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus consume twice as much data as those with the smaller 4.7-inch iPhone 6.
Even more interesting is the fact that iPhone 6 Plus data usage is 10 times higher than data usage on the 3.5-inch iPhone 3GS.
* news.com.au is partnering with Australia’s biggest consumer network to launch The Big Data Switch Campaign — a people-powered campaign that will reduce the cost of mobile and broadband data. Join the campaign here.
In addition to the small screen, the iPhone 3GS is slower with hardware that’s more than six years old.


The reported suggested data consumption is much higher on the iPhone 6 Plus because the larger screen makes it more enticing to stream video content.
“iPhone 6 Plus subscribers generate the most data volume, double that of an iPhone 6. This increase impacts subscribers when choosing a new device — be careful to select a data plan that matches your supersized screen,” the report read.

Smartphone photos can help doctors share concerns with other experts — but they can also raise security and privacy concerns. As his patient lay unconscious on a surgical gurney, the Victoria, B.C., urologist whipped out his smartphone and photographed the location where he’d just attached a urinary catheter. Then, as a “joke,” the doctor texted the image of his patient’s genitals to various friends and acquaintances. The prank was a blatant ethical no-no, costing the specialist $20,000 in fines and a six-month suspension from medical practice last summer. But across Canada, doctors with more noble intentions are using personal mobile phones to snap frequently intimate pictures of their patients, a medical “revolution” that is reportedly saving lives — but also triggering serious concerns about privacy and consent. When plastic surgeons in Alberta surveyed colleagues throughout the country, they discovered that almost three quarters keep patient photos next to va...

Geoblocking is ‘not fair to users’ finds Productivity Commission report

Australians are being screwed over when it comes to geoblocking, says the Productivity Commission. AUSTRALIAN internet users will welcome a recommendation put forward by the Productivity Commission calling for geoblocking of online content to be done away with. It’s likely we’ve all had the frustrating experience of clicking on a video clip from one of our favourite shows only to be met with a screen telling us the particular content is not available in our region. It’s one of the more frustrating things for Australian netizens but if the recommendation is acted upon by the government, it would make it clear that it is not illegal for Australians to use Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and proxies to access regionally restricted content on sites such as Netflix and HBO Now. The anti geoblocking sentiment was just one of the things to come from the 12-month inquiry into Australia’s intellectual property system. The draft report was released early this morning. Geob...
