I agree with the Touch ID sensor being a disappointment. The iPhone 6S one is incredible and a new $800 iPad not having it is really silly. The cameras seem like less of a big deal to me. The complaint about a file system is silly. It's so widespr…

This actually bothers me because I keep my phone covered on my bedside table and I can no longer ask Siri what time it is when I wake up on a day with no alarm set. First world problems, I know, but I wish when it was plugged in that it would ignore…

I'm curious if they did something like put one supplier in 6S and one in 6S+ models. Either if the 14 nm process produces better performance, then put it in the plus, or if it's a bigger difference in power usage then perhaps putting it into the 6…

Presumably if it's using the light sensor, then "face down mode" should also apply when the phone is in a pocket, right?

" do we won't want to go back to another device that doesn't have it (yes I'm looking at you iPad Air 2)." I don't think the iPad lacking it is as big of a deal because it has things like the trayed multitasking now and already had gestures for swa…

I like the idea of the news app for my iPhone and iPad, and I even see after installing the beta that it will sync between them via iCloud, but how do I get access to the same compilation of news I want to read via my MacBook? I'd love to be able to…
