During fashion house FTL Moda‘s New York Fashion Week show at Grand Central Station’s Vanderbilt Hall on Sunday, model Rebekah Marine will strut down the runway with one of the most unique accessories — a bionic arm. Philadelphia-based Marine, who was born without a right forearm, was fitted with an i-limb quantum earlier this year.

Apple will release iOS 9 next week, and some iOS 8 users who rely on unofficial apps installed on their iPhones and iPads after jailbreaking them are worried about upgrading.

I’m sure you’ve all heard the news by now; Apple’s new iPad Pro comes with a stylus. Actually, excuse me, it comes with a “3-axis, pressure-sensitive” digital writing utensil that Apple is calling the Apple Pencil. Of course, given Steve Jobs’ famous remarks about a stylus, it’s certainly easy to let the jokes fly and poke fun at Apple for releasing a device they previously mocked.

But once we get past all of that, Apple has seemingly delivered a stylus that, dare we say, people seem to really think is an incredible accessory.

As expected, the new iOS builds have been thoroughly picked apart, and in the process, all of the new wallpapers have been made available for download. Unfortunately, however, you’re not going to want to use Apple’s sleek new motion backgrounds just yet.

Like any iPhone generation before it, the iPhone 6s has one trademark feature that sets it apart from anything Apple did before. This particular feature is called 3D Touch, a unique display that uses an array of sensors under the glass and a vibrating motor to tell the difference between taps and touches. 3D Touch enables Peeks, Pops, and Quick Actions – read more about how they work here – but there’s one particular trick that suggests the iPhone 7 could be a radically redesigned device.

Many people will surely label the iPhone 6s as a minor update over last year’s phone, quickly dismissing it just because it’s an “S” update.
