How do I spot fake shopping sites and avoid being scammed?

  1. Use websites having “https” instead of “http". “https" is highest security in website. It costs a lot of money to get that protection, so no scammer would spend this much money(most of the time). There is a padlock next to website name which shows this website is secure or not.
  2. Use only trusted websites like Amazon which you have heard of before and are there in business from several years.
  3. Always check the domain name i.e. some scammers use “Amaz0n" and we people in hurry think it as “Amazon". So check every letter before even clicking on that link.
  4. When doing payment check the security of that like 64 bit protection or 128 bit protection. Higher the better.
  5. Never click on short-URL like “bit-ly” which comes in your whatsapp, sms etc.

So, these are some of the safety measures which we can take care of and prevent ourselves from getting scammed.

what can iphone do that other phones can't do.

Being an iPhone fan for years, this question was the most common among all. I used to tell everything that an iPhone can do, but recent launches have started wiping away my interest and inclination towards iPhones. 
Both have justified reasons for me.

To answer your question:

  • An Android does not use handoff. Apple’s ecosystem allows me to start working on my iPhone, and end it up on my Mac or iPad, whichever pleases me. Those who use Continuity feels heaven in this ecosystem. This feature helps endlessly while typing an iMessage, Mail, Presentation/Word processor/Spreadsheet, Contacts, Maps, etc. “All Apple devices talk to each other”.
  • No Android phone is always updated. Period. There’s no argument to it. When you love software and apps, you know the potential they carry and want to keep your apps and the OS ‘always updated’. An iPhone 5s is still updated with iOS 11 because it is an upgrade and every user who can run it must have it.
  • You can ‘3D Touch’. In iPhone 6S+ devices, all you need to do is to apply some more pressure to speed up many tasks.
  • Rich Ecosystem. The keyboard text shortcuts/shorthands made on one device are available on all others - be it iPhone, Watch (I hate Apple watch), or an iPad, whatever. Similarly the call history and messages via FaceTime.
  • Backups are friendly. The full-phone backups are either stored on iCloud or on local disk (manually) and when you restore an iPhone, you will find all the apps, at their position with their data waiting patiently for WiFi. You don’t need any 3rd party software for doing that.

That’s it. Honestly, everything else is there in other phones and in fact Androids provide more features, more customization.
