As expected, Apple has once again chosen to try and appeal to the widest audience possible by introducing the 6s range with the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch offerings that were brought to market with last year's iPhone 6. Additionally, following on from the precedent set last year, this latest generational iPhone release once again sees the two devices separated by rather marginal technical differences. The decision on which device to buy will really only come down to one major deciding factor; do you want to go as big as possible at 5.5-inches or keep it at 4.7-inches?
Samsung has launched a new ad campaign that not only attempts to turn the current hype surrounding the iPhone 6s to its own advantage, but that also mocks Apple's now popular "If it's not an iPhone, it's not an iPhone" tagline.
One of the great things about the introduction of any new iPhone hardware, as well as the availability of a new major version of iOS, is the excitement that is inevitably injected into the jailbreak community. We've already see a demonstration video that shows off a functioning untethered iOS 9 jailbreak. Now, thanks to Greek developer Elias Limneos, jailbreak fans have a 3D Touch inspired tweak to look forward to in the near future.
It is becoming increasingly rare for few days to pass by without us hearing about yet another malicious Android app that is loaded with ransomware, and sent out into the wild to wreak havoc amongst unsuspecting users. Just a few days back we heard about a ransomware which communicated over XMPP, and now a new strain, being dubbed Android/Lockerpin.A, appears to be taking things to a higher, more sophisticated level, by setting or resetting the PIN that is required to grant access to the Android device. Device owners are then forced to perform a factory reset and wipe all data from the device, or shell out $500 to the malicious individuals operating the malware, which is the really the standard course of action now.
The extremely popular notes, photo annotation, and sketch app Paper by FiftyThree received a fairly significant update today. After existing as an iPad only offering since its initial launch back in 2012, the company behind the app have pushed out its biggest update yet by making it a universal offering with full iPhone support. The latest update, carrying version number 3.0.0, also brings with it a fresh and renewed focus on annotation and sketching with improvements to its built-in tools.
Well known developer iH8sn0w has managed to untether jailbreak iOS 9. He has posted a video of it showing the jailbreak working on final iOS 9 GM version which Apple released at its iPhone 6s media event.
The introduction of the iPad Pro during yesterday's Apple media event managed to capture the imagination of a lot of consumers looking for a more performant iPad aimed at digital professionals. Apple managed to do a great job of not only introducing the iPad Pro, but also showcasing its features and performance capabilities by bringing Eric Snowden, Adobe's Director of Mobile Design, to run through his company's updated suite of Creative Cloud mobile apps. Following on from that demonstration, an official Adobe press release on the subject seems to have outlined, and subsequently removed, just how much RAM the iPad Pro is packing.
Apple has rolled out a new 'Get ready for pre-order' feature page for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus that aims to provide consumers with information that could significantly streamline the pre-release purchase process.
