Apple posts Apple Music walkthrough videos as first free trials expire
One of the biggest complaints from users of Apple’s new streaming music service is that the user interface is often confusing and hard to navigate. The radio service, promoted as a standout feature of Apple Music, hardly gets front billing in the app, and non-techy users are often perplexed about where Apple Music and the […]
Apple’s iPhone 6s has two different sized A9 processors, Samsung version 10% smaller
According to Chipworks, there are actually two different sized A9 processors floating around in the iPhone 6s and 6s plus released last week.

Opinion: The iPhone 6s vs. iPhone 6s Plus choice was trickier than expected

iPhone 6s diary: Putting the camera to the test, with interesting results
I should open by saying I’m a tough sell where cameraphones are concerned. My primary camera is a Nikon D3 full-frame 35mm DSLR with a set of lenses that takes the total cost well into ‘let’s never do the sums’ territory, so the bar is set rather high. But camera technology advances, and I judge […]
