The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are already in the hands of millions of consumers, and while Apple has taken various steps to address iPhone 6 issues that were reported last year, some problems with early iPhone 6s models are to be expected. Some users are experiencing overheating issues with the iPhone 6s, and they seem to lead to camera performance issues. Specifically, the flash won’t activate when the phone is too hot, resulting in what might be the first serious problem with the new iPhone.

Drones are everywhere these days, which is a good thing and a bad thing. On the negative side of things, some people try to invade others’ privacy with drones. But on the plus side, drones are so popular right now that you can get one on the cheap and have a lot of fun with it. Case in point: Amazon is offering 52% off the UDI U818A 2.4GHz 4 CH 6 Axis Gyro RC Quadcopter with Camera.

For the first time since 1982, we experienced a total lunar eclipse of the moon coupled with a “super moon,” a phenomenon that makes the moon appear larger than usual because it is at its closest point with the Earth. This incredible occurrence won’t happen again until 2033.

Not everyone made it out to enjoy the super moon eclipse on Sunday night, and many people who did head out last night couldn’t even fully enjoy the eclipse because their views were obstructed by clouds. There’s nothing like seeing it in person, of course, but those of you for which that wasn’t an option can now enjoy the next best thing.

What follows below are the most stunning images we’ve found of Sunday night’s rare super moon lunar eclipse.

In 2014, Apple set a new opening-weekend sales record by a huge margin with its new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. End user sales through the duo’s first weekend of availability topped 10 million units, raising the bar to what seemed like an impossible level. Of course, nothing is impossible when you have the kind of momentum Apple is enjoying right now, and the company just announced that it managed to set a new sales record this past weekend with the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

While previous iPhone models, going all the way back to the iPhone 5, only came with 1GB of RAM, teardowns of the iPhone 6s have confirmed that Apple’s next-gen smartphone does in fact come with a generous 2GB of memory. For many users, this under-the-hood improvement has been a long time coming, particularly since Apple is notoriously stingy when it comes to RAM.

Google will unveil a new line of exciting Nexus smartphones on Tuesday, including a 5.2-inch LG Nexus 5X and a 5.7-inch Huawei Nexus 6P, both supposed to highlight some of the main features that will be available in Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Both devices have been thoroughly described in a significant number of leaks, all suggesting that one of them will be an expensive high-end handset, with the other supposed to be a more affordable sub-flagship device.

Over the weekend, a new leak showing an entire presentation for the new phablet seems to indicate the Nexus 6P will indeed become the best Nexus handset money can buy and Google best Nexus device yet.

With the iPhone 6s being the latest Apple device to hit store shelves, we’ve already started to see an influx of bend test and drop test videos which aim to test just how rugged and durable Apple’s next-gen iPhone is. In keeping with that theme, YouTuber Zach Straley over the weekend decided to see how waterproof the iPhone 6s is.

Though Apple doesn’t ever reference the waterproof nature of its smartphones, wet iPhones are an unfortunate part of life, whether they get exposed to a few minutes of rain while out on a jog or even if they happen to fall in the toilet.

A few weeks ago, Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared on the new Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Over the course of an interesting 10 minute interview, Colbert asked Cook what he thought about the spate of Steve Jobs related films that were making their way into theaters.

Cook responded by saying that he was none too thrilled by all of the Steve Jobs portrayls he had seen thus far, emphasizing that they don’t accurately reflect “the man that I knew.”

Calling Jobs a great man, Cook said: “I think a lot of people are trying to be opportunistic and I hate this. It’s not a great part of our world.”

This weekend is all about the iPhone, but we do have a little bit of iPad news to share with you. With the iPad Pro launch now next on Apple’s slate of upcoming new products, Ars Technica has learned that Microsoft will require iPad Pro users to have an Office 365 subscription if they want to to be able to view and edit documents in Microsoft’s suite of Office apps.

The news might strike some as curious given that Microsoft lets iPhone and current iPad users view and edit Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint documents free of charge. Explaining why the iPad Pro warrants special treatment, Microsoft told Ars that the iPad Pro, on account of its 12.9-inch display, is not considered a “true mobile device.”
