Oliver Haslam·September 26, 2014

When Apple first touted iOS 8, one of its biggest features was Health, an app that was expected to act as the cornerstone to all out health and wellbeing apps. Touted to be a hub for all the disparate information collected by third-party health trackers and the like, Health was, and still is, quite exciting for those who like to keep track of their health and fitness.

Here’s How Apple Stress Tests The Durability Of The iPhone 6 [Video]

Ben Reid·September 26, 2014

We now know, thanks to Apple's clarification that only nine new iPhones had been reported as misshapen as part of the Bendgate saga, that the whole incident was a mere storm in a teacup, but with Apple now launching both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in 20 new markets across the world, the official statement was certainly necessary. Now, more details have emerged as to exactly how Apple ensures that its devices are built for purpose, and as well as five major stress tests, a company official has noted how how some 15,000 handsets were intentionally broken at development stage to provision against such issues as highlighted with Bendgate.

Apple Manager That Oversaw iOS 6 Maps Also Responsible For iOS 8.0.1 Mess

Ben Reid·September 26, 2014

Apple's iOS 8.0.1, for those that missed it, was a marked disaster, and a major blemish in what has otherwise been a fairly smooth launch of the company's new mobile software. Having rolled out a couple of days ago, it featured major flaws that saw iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners left with No Service and a non-functioning Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and in all honesty, Apple hadn't made such a blunder since the iOS 6 Maps debacle. Back in 2012 when Maps first appeared, the scapegoating seem to begin, and end, with then-iOS SVP Scott Forstall, who was swiftly ejected from the executive team and Apple in general, but incidentally, it has now been revealed that a member of the quality control team amid the Apple Maps scandal may also have been partially responsible for the blundered iOS 8.0.1 launch.

It Costs Apple Just $200 To Make iPhone 6, $216 For iPhone 6 Plus

Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have, as is typically the case with new iPhones, arrived to a great deal of fanfare. As well as the critical acclaim and record sales, social media was consumed by 'Bendgate', the idea that the new devices - particularly the iPhone 6 Plus - are prone to bending. Apple stepped out to dispel such a notion, adding that it only uses the highest standard of materials as well as running through extreme quality control measures to ensure the robustness of its handsets. Be that as it may, a new teardown has revealed that the material cost of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus remains decidedly low, despite the considerable increase in price at the consumer end, and with 10 million units sold and counting, the profit margin on these newer smartphones is considerably higher.

Ben Reid·September 26, 2014

As far as Apple is concerned, September usually focuses on the mobile side of things, and with the introduction of the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and the Apple Watch earlier on this month, we certainly haven't been disappointed.
