iPhone 6s: 15 Things Buyers Can Count On

mercredi 12 août 2015

iPhone 6s: 15 Things Buyers Can Count On is a post by Adam Mills from Gotta Be Mobile.

While nothing is confirmed, it appears that the iPhone 6 could be relegated from flagship status next month to make room for a new iPhone 6s. With iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus rumors heating up, we want to take a look at a few things we expect from the iPhone 6s, its specs and its release.

Last September, Apple launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The two took over flagship duties for the iPhone 5s when they were released shortly after their launch event and they remain flagships as we push deeper into the summer toward Apple’s usual iPhone launch window.

Rumor has it, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus’ days as flagships are numbered. Apple itself isn’t talking about its plans for a new iPhone but thanks to a mountain of evidence (and the fact that Apple has released a new iPhone every year since 2007), we’re confident that these rumors are speaking the truth. That Apple really does have an iPhone 6s, not an iPhone 7, up its sleeve for the fall.

Apple probably won’t be talking about its new iPhone ahead of its launch date and that puts those looking to buy a new device in a bit of a bind. In the buildup to fall, we’ve been getting tons and tons of questions from friends, family and readers who are wondering about things like the iPhone 6s release date, display size, price, and more.

We don’t have any information from Apple itself but we can draw from a pile of credible iPhone 6s rumors and years of iPhone releases to paint you a vivid picture ahead of the iPhone 6s launch date.

Today, we want to take a look at a few things we think buyers can expect from the iPhone 6s launch, iPhone 6s release date, iPhone 6s specs, and more. Keep these in mind as we push deeper into the month of August.

iPhone 6s Launch Date

1 / 15

Apple hasn't sent out media invites for its inevitable iPhone launch event but it doesn't really need to at this point.

BuzzFeed's John Paczkowski has all but confirmed the iPhone 6s launch event for September 9th. This is the same date that Apple used for the iPhone 6 launch.

Unless disaster strikes, this is when you can expect Apple to talk about the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus for the first time. You can also expect Apple to run down other products including iOS 9 and the new Apple TV.

10 Best Windows 10 Accessories & Software Extras

10 Best Windows 10 Accessories & Software Extras is a post by Travis Pope from Gotta Be Mobile.

For Microsoft, the free Windows 10 upgrade rolling out to users now is an opportunity to reinvent itself. The company hopes that users will love Windows 10 and that this love will permeate into other products and services it sells. The broader strokes of that plan are easy to identify. Making the Start and Windows Store apps mouse and touch friendly is an important part of this. Adding new software features that users expect from any device they purchase is also a big part of Microsoft’s plan.

Fail to look closely and you could miss an essential third part of Microsoft’s Windows 10 strategy. For years, Microsoft has either failed to connect its many service to Windows in a way that makes sense or outright decided not to embrace the accessories of others. With Windows 10, Microsoft smartly incorporated products from all of its divisions, creating an ecosystem that is at least similar to the services, hardware and extras that Google and Apple offer their customers.

Cortana, the digital assistant that’s powered by Microsoft’s Bing search engine, is new to desktops, notebooks and tablets. Previously, it was only available on Microsoft’s Windows Phone devices. Soon it’ll even come to iPhones and devices running Google’s Android operating system.
