Many iPhone 6s models sold out, but you can still get anything that’s not pink or Plus on the 25th
The iPhone 6s series has been available for preorder in various countries for a couple of days, and the good news is that the handset is not completely sold out just yet. That means you can still preorder an iPhone right now from Apple and still have it delivered to your home around the official release date of September 25th.
However, there’s also some bad news: You need to buy an iPhone 6s that’s neither pink or Plus if you want to get it next week.

Google chairman Eric Schmidt slams Apple Music
Apple Music has been something of a polarizing product ever since Apple first unveiled it. Unarguably late to the game, the service is intended to eventually replace iTunes as we know it; consumers began moving away from digital music downloads years ago, opting instead for all-you-can-eat streaming services. And while Apple Music certainly covers most of the bases, critics have been harsh with the service, suggesting that it suffers from a poor UX and is missing some important features.
Now, another critic has weighed in, and he just so happens to be Google’s chairman.

Why is the iPhone 6s heavier than iPhone 6?
When comparing the iPhone 6s to the iPhone 6, it became immediately clear that the new model is just a tad thicker and heavier than the predecessor. The same goes for the iPhone 6s Plus when compared to the iPhone 6 Plus. But why are the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus heavier? Spoiler: it’s not the more durable 7000 series aluminum that Apple is using on both devices to prevent accidental bending.

Good news: iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have twice the RAM memory of iPhone 6
One of the iPhone secrets Apple almost never reveals is how much RAM memory its iOS devices have. The detail shouldn’t be that important to regular users, because Apple employs various ways that help it make the most of built-in RAM, with iPhones over outperforming same year Android rivals that might have significantly more RAM.
The same goes for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Apple has not confirmed how much memory each device has, but a new finding from a developer brings further confirmation that 2015 iPhones have twice the RAM of their predecessor.

Watch: The video game evolution of Nintendo’s beloved Mario
30 years ago today, Super Mario Bros. was released for the NES in Japan and the world of video games would never be the same. Arguably the most iconic and influential video game ever released, Super Mario Bros. was the rare game that managed to transcend the world of video games. From movies and TV shows to action figures and even candy, it’s hard to think of a product or medium that wasn’t graced in some way by the title.

‘Hey Siri’ command in iPhone 6s relies on individualized voice recognition
Thanks to the iPhone’s new M9 motion coprocessor, iPhone 6s users will no longer have to have their devices plugged in and charging in order to activate the “Hey Siri” command. At last, we can cut the cord!
