How to Get Your Apple iOS Technician Certification (ACiT)
If you are looking for a job getting a technical certification can look good on a resume. Some jobs may require you to have a certifications before they hire you. Your current job might like it if you got certified for new things. If your current job, or jobs you want to get use a lot of portable and mobile Apple products it is good to get more familiar with their operating system. The operating system for IPads and IPhones is iOS. The certification that Apple offers technicians for iOS is called ACiT, or Apple Certified iOS Technician. There are two exams that you need to take and pass to be ACiT certified. The first test is the Apple Service Fundamentals exam (SVC-18A), and the second test is the ACiT iOS Service Certification exam (iOS-18A). Both exams are administered through a company called Pearson Vue, and they are each $20.00. The Apple Service Fundamentals exam is required for other certifications too, like the ACMT certification which is Apple Certified Mac Technician so you could have a head start on that by getting ACiT certified. The first thing you should do is find out what's on the exams. Apple Service Fundamentals has 5 sections, and 70 total items. A passing score is 80 percent overall (at least 56 out of 70 items to pass). It contains the following sections and topics: Customer Experience (23 items)ESD Precautions (12 items)Safety (12 items)Product Knowledge (15 items) ACiT iOS Service Certification has 2 sections, and 70 total items. A passing score: 80 percent overall (at least 56 out of 70 items to pass)....Preparing and Getting Your Apple iOS Technician Certification (ACiT)
Getting your Apple iOS certification is something that can greatly enhance your career. Maybe you already have a job, you work mostly with Apple products and you would like to learn more so that you can earn more by getting promoted. If you don’t already have a career and are looking for one, maybe you are interested in a career that works specifically with Apple products or deals mainly with Apple devices. In most cases, the more you know, the better. So for whatever the reason you want to get the certification, becoming an Apple certified technician can help. Of course, as we all know, wanting something and doing what it takes to get it are two very different things. The first thing you should probably do is see what it takes and how much it could cost you to get certified. Though it can sometimes be overlooked, the cost of things can be very important. Everyone’s financial situation is different, so you should figure out the cost according to your personal situation. Let’s go over some important things that I found in my research about the ACiT that can be a good starting point to planning on attaining your certification. The first thing that you should probably consider getting is Apple’s AppleCare technician training. This can be bought online and can cost up to $299.99. Apple’s AppleCare technician training is the material, approved by Apple, that will cover the things that you will need to know in order to pass the exam that you will be taking to get certified. Another important thing to consider when planning on...New Features of IPhone X

Other great features make this iPhone water resistant, dust resistant, and it has wireless charging.Apple's new iPhone X has a whole different look. For years when looking at an iPhone it featured the standard home button. Now, apple has designed it so with a movement of your finger or your voice you can navigate your phone with ease. This gives the Iphone an advantage. Now, with fewer moving parts it is less likely to have mechanical problems. Apple has also added the option of wireless phone charging. This great feature works by purchasing a wireless charging mat. This mat will also charge the Bluetooth earbuds that connect you to your phone. If you travel, some airports and hotels may have these mats available. Don’t worry the new iPhone still has a lightning port to charge from the wall. Apple introduces Face ID in their new iPhone. This technology will let you lock, unlock and pay using facial recognition. This feature works by having the True Depth camera create a map of your face by scanning it and using it as a key. The software will change your face over time so that it continues to...Deploy iPhone 8 Plus to Employees of Medium Sized Company in Milwaukee
...5 new features in the latest version of the iPhone
Every year Apple comes out with a new iPhone, sometimes there’s a lot to talk about and sometimes there’s not. This year, Apple has made some radical changes with their latest flagship iPhone, the iPhone X. The iPhone X has brought a slew of changes, most notably: an OLED display, facial recognition technology, wireless charging, dual cameras, and an impressive new chipset. OLED (organic light-emitting diode) Display Basically, an OLED display is capable of emitting its own light without the need for a backlight. It can reach higher contrast ratios than LCD screens. LCD screens cannot show true blacks because the light from the backlight will still come through, where as OLED screens can turn off individual pixels for true and deep blacks. Apple didn't only add an OLED screen to the iPhone X , however. A total redesign and overhaul of the screen technology was done. Now, Apple has tried to remove bezels completely, resulting in an edge-to-edge screen with a notch at the top and no home-button. The implementation of this technology was not all fine and dandy, however. The notch is somewhat controversial, 3D Touch has been removed, fingerprint scanning is gone, and the cost of the display has increased. This has resulted in some customers paying more for a device that has removed features that existed in previous releases of the iPhone. Facial Recognition The iPhone X has introduced an advanced new facial recognition technology (dubbed ‘Face ID'), it is essentially taking the place of Touch ID now that the iPhone X doesn't support fingerprint scanning. Face ID works in different lighting circumstances and doesn't...What our students tell us:
