We may have just learned how the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will combat ‘Bendgate’
Apple is expected to launch two new iPhone models this year, a 4.7-inch iPhone 6s and a 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus. Multiple reports have already detailed some of the specs and features on the new smartphones, with one insider claiming that with the iPhone 6s family, Apple is trying to prevent future “Bendgate” issues. And it looks like that rumor is now getting more traction from Taiwan, where a known Apple iPhone supplier appears to have just confirmed one major iPhone 6s feature.

Huge photo album shows us almost everything new on the iPhone in iOS 9
Apple unveiled iOS 9 during its annual WWDC keynote this past Monday, and released the first beta version of its new software that afternoon. Since anyone who pays $99 for an Apple developer account can install it — in fact, you don’t even need a developer account to install iOS 9 — we can expect every last detail surrounding the new OS to trickle out in the coming days, despite the fact that developers aren’t supposed to disclose any nonpublic information about the beta.
There is indeed plenty of info out there, but a new photo album compiled by an Imgur user does a great job of showing us almost every new user-facing tweak in one place.

The New York Times’ fashion writer explains why she’s already dumping the Apple Watch
One big question that we’ve asked about both the Apple Watch and smartwatches as a whole is, “What good are these things actually for?” The New York Times’ fashion writer Vanessa Friedman has been wearing an Apple Watch for weeks and has decided that Apple’s first wearable computer just isn’t worth her time for a fairly sensible reason: She thinks wearing a computer on her wrist makes her look too geeky.

FEATURED: iOS 9 is amazing… and I just uninstalled it
Despite all the hype, Apple’s new iOS 9 software is surprisingly polarizing so far. Plenty of Apple fans seem to love all the new features Apple introduced during its WWDC 2015 keynote earlier this week — we previewed the 5 best new iOS 9 features that same day, if you’d like to check out the abridged version. Other users haven’t been so impressed though, and they claim that iOS 9 is a minor update that steals most of its features from other platforms, namely Android.
Personally, my thoughts align much more closely with the former camp than the latter. iOS 9 is a big update, and it brings with it a number of great new features. It also brings some refinement to a mobile platform that is already the most refined in the world.
As much as I like iOS 9, however, I just uninstalled it from my iPhone 6 after using it for less than a day.

Belgium just punked France in the most hilarious way
This past March, France took offense when it learned of Belgium’s plans to release a 2 euro coin to commemorate the 200 year anniversary of the French defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. France vigorously protested the coin’s release, arguing that it would create conflict within the European Union. France also penned a letter arguing that the coins would elicit an “unfavorable” reaction from French citizens.
When the dust settled, Belgium’s hand was forced, resulting in them scrapping over 180,000 commemorative coins that they already minted.
But as it turns out, Belgium had a bit of a trick up its sleeve.
