I really would like to know the link between TimeZone and Battery Percentage display.

So when Apple puts existing tech in a smartphone it's innovative, when someone else does it's not? 

I remember some occasion when Apple payed developper who had great idea. CoverFlow was one, and Apple did not used one single line of code of the developper, they just bought the idea. 

Also, back when the Mac OS did not display the time at the upper right corner, Apple bought the idea from a developper, and once again never used a sigle line of code of the original program.  The clock is still there, and even if the idea seem basic, Apple Payed for it. 

For me, the biggest problem right now is the value of the american dollar. Here is what happened in Canada for iPhone 6 to iPhone 6S in one year 

2014

• iPhone 6   64 GB   859 $ Can 
• iPhone 6 128 GB   969 $ Can 

2015

• iPhone 6S   64 GB  1029 $ Can 
• iPhone 6S 128 GB  1159 $ Can 
• iPhone 6     64 GB     859 $ Can 

today, if you buy last year iPhone, you pay the same price as last year, for current model, there is a 20% increase in the price. Believe me when I say that salary did not increase 20% here.

I know that R&D are made in USA, but most component and assembly are not made in US $. So why so much increase. 

Canada does not have real big impact on Apple sales, but I guess other country must have seen they currency drop compare to US dollar, maybe Euro for example.
