Hilarious: Pranksters load Android onto an iPhone clone, convince Apple fans it’s iOS 9
Those of us who are really into technology can tell the difference between iOS and Android instantly.

There’s nothing wrong with this, of course, since Apple has a strong brand for a good reason. All the same, we couldn’t help but be amused when the pranksters who run the YouTube account Dit Is Normaal loaded Android onto an iPhone clone and successfully convinced Apple fans that it was a real iPhone running on iOS 9.

3 huge ways the Xbox One just showed up the PS4
When Microsoft announced backward compatibility for the Xbox One at E3 2015, I began to see the first signs of the tide shifting in Microsoft’s favor. After flubbing the reveal of its new-gen console, Microsoft has been doing everything in its power to restore the faith of its fans, from bringing in Phil Spencer as Xbox head to launching an endless stream of affordable bundles.
Still, the sales haven’t quite caught up with the PlayStation 4, but when Sony decided to skip Gamescom 2015, Microsoft knew it had a golden opportunity to gain some ground.

Apple will reportedly launch 3 brand new iPhones next year, and the first could launch soon
Earlier this year, rumors claimed that Apple would have three new iPhone versions in stores in 2015, but subsequent reports disputed those claims. Some argued that Apple had canceled the smallest model in its iPhone 6s family – thus far referred to as the iPhone 6c – while others said the phone might still be on track for release at a later point.
Now, a new report says that Apple is still making the handset, though the new 4-inch iPhone won’t launch until next year.
