The Apple Watch is fascinating device for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it speaks to Apple’s ultimate goal to break free from the traditional shackles of consumer technology. First and foremost, the Apple Watch is arguably the first device to truly bridge the gap between technology and fashion.

The iPhone 6s’s signature new feature is 3D Touch, a new way of interacting with the device that has given us new actions such as Quick Actions, Peek, and Pop. Peeling back the jargon, however, you can really categorize all of these new actions as shortcuts.
3D Touch on the iPhone 6s is only used for the time being for in-app shortcuts (Peek and Pop), and system-wide shortcuts (Quick Actions). The new gesture could be used for so much more in the future, though Apple seems to be limiting more advanced 3D Touch functionality for the time being.

There are so many things that HTC used to be so good at, but several of the company’s strengths have become weaknesses in recent years. I’m not just talking about selling phones, though that task has indeed become increasingly difficult for HTC as Apple and Samsung apply global pressure at the top and no-name Chinese vendors eat up the bottom and middle of the Eastern market. I’m talking about hardware and software design, which could once both be counted among HTC’s strong suits.
The HTC One M7 and M8 were fantastic phones, and reaching back even further, HTC’s Windows Mobile phones and its early Android phones were often ahead of their time and a cut above rival handsets. With the One M9, HTC had a lapse in judgement at the worst possible time, and while the new HTC One A9 does sport a terrific design it isn’t HTC’s design, it’s Apple’s.
Since I first saw the phone in a series of leaks, I found myself reminiscing about HTC phones of old and it got me thinking: HTC just copied the iPhone 6/6s, but there are a few things about HTC’s handsets that I really wish Apple would copy on the iPhone.

The company’s HoloLens gave us a glimpse of what computing in the near future may be like, and it was awesome. But Microsoft is hardly the first company to dive into augmented reality. Long before Microsoft ever showed off its HoloLens product, a somewhat low-profile company called Magic Leap was busy behind the scenes cooking up an exciting augmented reality experience that we just got a taste of late last night.
