Beardgate: The silliest iPhone 6 Plus scandal yet
Just as it looked like the iPhone 6 Plus was getting past the not-exactly-fatal “Bendgate” controversy, yet another scandal has popped up that could further damage the device’s reputation… but probably won’t. We’re referring, of course, to “Beardgate,” an issue that was flagged by a 9to5Mac community member who claims that the iPhone 6 Plus “keeps yanking out my hair when I’m making call,” which is apparently happening because his facial hair is getting stuck in “the seam between the glass and aluminum.”

Samsung’s iPhone 6 nightmare is getting even worse
Despite having to fight against a new iPhone each year, Samsung was surprised to see Apple’s record iPhone 6 launch in past weeks and had to move up its Galaxy Note 4 launch in South Korea and China as a result. But that might not be enough to keep customers from buying the iPhone 6 like hot cakes, especially in China, where a recent estimate revealed that more than 2 million people reserved a new iPhone in the first six hours following Apple’s official iPhone 6 announcement from the region.

Do you care about privacy? Change these seven iOS 8 settings immediately
Apple’s iOS 8 has plenty of strengths and weaknesses, but the fact that the platform gives users complete control over which apps and services can access potentially sensitive data is definitely a strength. Apple has shown in recent years that it takes privacy seriously, and this is evident to anyone with an iOS device each and every time a new app; no apps can gain access to things like location data, contacts, photos or even an iOS device’s microphone unless the user grants the app permission in a pop-up.
For some privacy settings, however, iPhone and iPad users need to take a more active approach if privacy is a top priority.

This is the world’s first in-depth review of Apple’s CarPlay
Apple’s quest to take over every inch of our digital lives took a small step forward earlier this week with the addition of CarPlay support to several aftermarket car stereo units from Pioneer. CarPlay, you might recall, is Apple’s iOS (and BlackBerry QNX) based solution for moving its iPhone interface off of your smartphone and onto the display on your automobile’s infotainment system.
CarPlay appeared to be fairly impressive upon initial inspection — especially compared to the awful infotainment software found in most cars — but so far we have only seen some brief hands-on looks at the solution on various blogs and news sites. Now, however, the first in-depth CarPlay review has been published.
