iPhone 6s: Apple didn’t explain the huge privacy implications of one major new feature
You don’t even have to be an Apple product owner to know the company is keen on protecting the customer’s privacy and security. So when Apple unveils a major new iPhone 6s feature on stage during its keynote without explaining the obvious privacy implications, you’d think there’s no reason to worry, and that might be perfectly right.
But this doesn’t change the fact that there are some serious unanswered questions surrounding the new iPhones’ always-on “Hey Siri” feature.

The BGR Show: Finding answers to our Apple event questions at the bottom of a bottle of bourbon
In case you missed it, Apple hosted a little get together on Wednesday and announced some new stuff. It was kind of a big deal. The new iPhones look terrific, the Apple TV could be the early stages of a major sea change, and the iPad Pro further bridges the gap between tablet and PC. But when everything was said and done, Jonathan and Zach were left with some big questions.
So, they did the only thing that made sense: They cracked open a bottle of Blanton’s on Wednesday evening and recorded episode 21 of The BGR Show podcast.
Huge thanks to Casper for sponsoring our show this week! Jonathan has been sleeping on a Casper mattress for a couple of months and it’s the best mattress he’s ever tried. Better than all of his previous foam mattresses, which each cost well over double the price of a Casper.
The best part is Casper mattresses start at $500 and you can get $50 off your order by visting casper.com/bgr and using the discount code BGR at checkout.

The most important Windows 10 update yet is coming in November – here’s what we know so far
Windows 10 is Microsoft’s hottest new product, with tens of millions of Windows users having installed it in the first month after release. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Windows 10 is a free upgrade for most users. Since launching the new platform, Microsoft had to release a number of updates to address various bugs and issues with the young operating system, but the company is also working on the first non-patch update for the OS.
Unfortunately, a new report says the Windows 10 “Threshold 2” update has been delayed until November rather than October, as initially planned.

This is how much it would cost Apple to develop 10 quality original TV shows
The Apple rumor mill this week took a short break from all things iPhone related to deliver a startling revelation about Apple potentially wanting to develop and produce its own lineup of original programming.
According to one source who spoke to Variety, Apple is exploring the idea of creating “development and production divisions” capable of churning out long-form content “in a bid to compete with Netflix.”
With that bombshell of a rumor now dangling overhead, I thought it’d be helpful to take a look at how much it would cost Apple to get into the TV production business. As a yardstick, I took a look at the costs involved in producing some of the more popular long-form TV shows that have aired over the past few years. Suffice it to say, TV production is not cheap. At the same time, Apple is essentially printing money at this point so perhaps that won’t be much of an issue.
Let’s dive in and look at the numbers.
