00:00Five tech myths busted.
00:01More signal bars equals better service.
00:03The signal bars on your phone actually show how close you are to the nearest cell tower,
00:08not the speed.
00:08So full signal can still feel slow if the network is busy.
00:11Airplane mode charges your phone faster.
00:14Technically speaking, yes, by about a minute.
00:16But only because airplane mode makes you lose your battery a tiny bit slower.
00:20It doesn't actually have anything to do with the charging itself.
00:22More megapixels equals better photos.
00:24Here's a 108 megapixel photo.
00:26Here's a 12 megapixel photo.
00:27There's so many factors that define how good a modern camera system is
00:30that the actual megapixel count is becoming almost meaningless.
00:33Closing apps will speed up your phone.
00:35In most cases, it actually makes it slower.
00:38Current smartphones are actually designed to be able to manage and juggle
00:40multiple apps automatically in the background.
00:42So if you keep closing them,
00:44your phone will actually have to use more power to load them back up again.
00:47Private browsing mode is anonymous.
00:49It does prevent your logins and your history being recorded on your device.
00:52But everything you do still goes through your internet service provider.
