That's nonsense. They won't make the phone thicker because that would also make it heavier and no one wants a heavier phone. Battery life would be marginally improved but you'd have a heavier phone and the 6S Plus is already a beast to carry around, like any phablet is. Not making it thicker has...

I use it daily for app shortcuts. Don't know why people wouldn't, it's so much quicker than opening the app and then selecting what you want to do. The reason it's quicker is because apps can have various function buttons in different places, whereas the 3D Touch shortcut drops a short list...

Re: What are your thoughts on today's iOS 10 announcement? I'm FREAKING OUT about losing widgets from the Today pulldown. This is a huge step backwards when it comes to widget usefulness (and more like Android) in my book. I so often use the current feature while typing an email, or in a phone...

I'd get your kid what I got my 6 year old (and loaded it with only colorful educational apps and no YouTube!).... an iPad Mini 4 with 64GB of memory for all those Pixar movies that can save a road trip or restaurant meal from potential disaster.

Re: What is better? Samsung S6 or Iphone 6s? The iPhone 6S is better than the Galaxy S6 in almost every way. Battery life is superior, camera is about the same, although I've heard the S6 has a slight edge in low light. But iOS is superior to TouchWizzed Android and then there's superb Apple...

Don't we do this almost every year with Apple? #AppleIsDoomed

I actually use it daily, mostly on the Google search app to do either a quick search or image search, also on the phone app icon, the Lose it app to track meals from home screen, and to move the cursor in text. Got so used to it I catch myself trying to do this on my iPad Mini 4 from time to...

Don't worry so much about it. When it comes to shock damage, these devices and their packaging are designed and tested to withstand UPS drivers throwing them around in the truck. So that's a non-issue, if it doesn't rattle and works when you get it, you're fine. And when it comes to usage and/or...

iPhone 6S Plus battery life is insane for me. I regularly get two full days of average usage, and when I was lightly using the phone I ended up with 3 full days once. It was 7 hours of usage and 63 hours of standby! But that's an anomaly. On average, I get around 10-12 hours of usage with 30 to...

Well you can only get drop protection with a bulky case, or scratch protection with a minimalist case - just have to pick which one and be sure of that choice. Personally, I only dropped one phone badly - my iPhone 4S once - but have never shattered a single screen in over 7 years of multiple...
