Alternative image of an iPhone

Currently this black screen image is being used to illustrate the article in the intro.

I work for a product testing organization, Consumer Reports, which has provided a few product photos to Wikipedia to check the interest in product descriptions. All of these photos are at Commons:Consumer Reports. One of the photos is this one of an iPhone 6 with the screen made blue.

Consumer Reports has a large photo studio where we model products around staged lighting. In the case of the iPhone, it seems like an amateur photo is similar in quality to a professionally created one. The one from Consumer Reports is higher resolution but I am not sure that matters.

I am posting here to get anyone's thoughts on the usefulness of this iPhone photo, and how it compares to what the article already uses. For some other product articles, I posted the professional photo into the article. For this one because of the similarity, I thought I would leave the photo here and let anyone else decide if it can be used. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:07, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Charging issues

In 22 November 2016‎, I posted a description of charging issues in the iphone 6. The problem is that in some instances the phone would only charge when it turned off. When this problem occurs the phone doesn't recognize that the charging cable plugged in while it's on and it says "This accessory may not be supported".^[1] There are a number of possible remedies for this problem. 1.Hard Reset 2.Check Charging Accessories 3.Clean Charging Port 4.Restore iPhone If it's none of these remedies work then it's most likely a hardware problem.^[2] And, if your phone is out of warranty that is a very costly repair through Apple, and the phone can't be traded.^[3] So I think it's important to be considered as a hardware problem.
