Microsoft woweed its audience earlier this week with the announcement of its Surface Book, which is basically a beefed up version of the Surface Pro 4. Dubbed as the “ultimate laptop,” the new computer is an impressive 13.5-inch Windows 10 tablet and one of Microsoft’s best creations to date.

But the company apparently also misrepresented what the Surface Book can do in terms of performance, especially when suggesting the device can offer twice the performance of the MacBook Pro.

If you ask me, Daniel Craig is the best James Bond ever, but I’ll admit the scripts of his 007 movies might have helped out with that, especially when compared with the older movies. However, the actor, who played Bond for the fourth time in Spectre, just revealed that we might need another Bond, as he’s had it with playing the immensely popular character.

Craig announced in a rather out-of-the-box manner the fact he’s had it with the franchise saying that he’d rather kill himself than do another Bond movie. I’m shaken by the news. Not stirred. Because he’s not 100% sure he’s stopping.

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have better cameras than any of their predecessors, and early photo and video recording tests have proven that Apple is once again setting a new standard for smartphone photography.

But the new iPhones aren’t better solely when it comes to photos, because videos are vastly improved as well. One pro photographer who relies on DSLR cameras for professional shoots compared the iPhone 6s against a Nikon DSLR that costs thousands of dollars, finding – to his amazement – that the iPhone 6s shoots much better video.

iPhone sales usually drop in the months leading up to a major iPhone launch, since more informed buyers interested in purchasing an Apple smartphone would rather wait for the new models to launch than buy last year’s device. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case for the iPhone 6 and other iPhones still being sold by Apple, which continued to sell rather well in the quarter preceding the iPhone 6s’ arrival.

Smartphone companies copy each other all the time, and that includes Apple. We know, we know. But there’s one vendor that finds itself in the news for copying its top rival a bit more often than most, and there is actual evidence that appeared in court suggesting that Samsung copies Apple more actively than other companies. So, when Apple comes out with a hot new feature like 3D Touch on the iPhone 6s, many Apple fans begin half-jokingly asking the question: When is Samsung going to copy it?

We still can’t say for sure whether or not Samsung plans to add a similar feature to its future smartphones, but it looks like a new technology under development at one of Samsung’s partner companies could hold the key to enabling an experience similar to 3D Touch on future Galaxy smartphones.

We’re all used to seeing Apple revolutionize industries with exciting new (or reimagined) technology. The company often sets new standards, becoming the de facto company rivals compare their products against – just see footage from Microsoft’s recent Surface event to see how many times Apple products were mentioned. But what Apple doesn’t do is jump on a new technology, especially for the iPhone, until it’s truly ready for primetime.

Apple stays out of hardware wars with other smartphone makers when it comes to screen size, camera megapixels, mobile chip cores and RAM, choosing to roll out updates in each area once the tech is up to its standards. And the same thing might be said of battery technology, because Apple is working on what could end up being a huge innovation.
