Apple Announces New Bluetooth Speaker: Beats Pill+

Zayed Rehman·October 8, 2015

Apple has surprised us all today by announcing a new and improved Beats Pill bluetooth speaker, and is calling it the Pill+. The new speaker isn't a radical retake of the original Pill with Apple focusing on making some serious under-the-hood improvements to produce what could arguably be the best sounding Pill ever. Pill+ is set to replace the original Pill speaker which was launched back in 2012. It is larger than previous Pill, but smaller than now discontinued Pill XL.

iPhone 6s Touch ID / Home Button Overheating For Some Users

Paul Morris·October 7, 2015

The iPhone 6s may not be plagued by any issues as extreme as last year's "bendgate" scandal, but that doesn't mean that certain users don't think the phone's without its problems. In the small amount of time that the handset has been available, we've heard of consumers taking to various Apple forums to complain of the iPhone 6s shutting itself down and feeling extremely hot. There were also reports of the phone overheating to an extent that iOS actually prompted the user about the condition. Now, another set of users are starting to notice that the Home button on the iPhone 6s unit is feeling increasingly hot and dissipating what feels like huge amounts of heat over the surface area of the button.

Roku 4 Announced: Adds 4K Support, Improved Processor And More

Paul Morris·October 7, 2015

The set-top box market has been ticking along nicely for quite some time. There's always been plenty of options for consumers in that particular space, but no-one seemed to actually put the time, effort, and resources into producing something that blew the market away, cementing itself as the de-facto choice in the process. The introduction of the Apple TV 4 may have changed that, meaning the competition has felt the need to go back to the drawing board and rethink their products. The newly unveiled Roku 4 - that's 4 for 4K - is Roku's answer to the recent Apple TV and Amazon 4K Fire TV announcements, and it certainly packs a punch.
