If you're carrying around a large Android phone that's got a battery larger than most notebooks inside it, then you're probably fine but if you're using an iPhone, we're willing to bet that you're charging that bad boy at least once a day. Sometimes twice.
Phones and tablets now routinely come with built-in gyroscopes, and our watches are well on their way to becoming sensor laden as well, so it's worth knowing what all these little sensors are capable of. That gyroscope for instance, did you know that it could also be used to steal credit card numbers?

Apple's iPhone 6 is set to be announced early on next month, and although we've seen much of the 4.7-inch model, the supposedly delayed, 5.5-inch variant has continued to elude us. While not offering any direct evidence of the larger edition, a new leak does offer some clues as to how the larger form factor of the iPhone 6 will still be comfortable to use with one hand.
With the iPhone 6 launch just around the corner, leaks have definitely sped up, and we’ve had plenty of evidence for that during the last couple of months. A number of alleged parts for the upcoming iPhone models have surfaced around the Web, most of them falling in line with earlier reports regarding the iPhone 6 and iPhone Air (if that’s what they end up being called).
