Review: iPhone 6S on AT&T – Is the “Best iPhone Ever” the Best Smartphone?
Apple holds to a tick-tock update schedule with the iPhone, updating the form factor, then better refining the guts of the phone. This year for the 6S we get the new “rose gold” color, a higher resolution camera, and 3D Touch! Is this enough to position “the best iPhone ever” as the best phone of the year? Let’s take a look!

Wi-Fi Calling Now Available for iPhone 6 and 6S
We’re taking more steps towards all communication on mobile devices moving to data.
Now users on the iPhone 6 and 6S running iOS 9 will have access to WiFi calling on AT&T. This feature will be built into post-paid plans, and wont affect any current services the consumer might be paying for.
WiFi calling allows people to move voice calls to data networks, without managing separate VOIP phone numbers, and can makes for a handy solution in areas with poor call quality. Once this feature is enabled, text messages can also travel over WiFi.
While we’ve seen services like Google Voice in the past, AT&T has recently been making moves to incorporate more cell connection “mobility”. Supporting products like the Gear S smartwatch which could move calls back and forth between the SIM in your phone and the SIM on your wrist. Earlier this year at their developer conference, they showed off demos of people moving video calls seamlessly between PC and phone, all tied to the phone number on their plan.
Moving forward, it seems your phone number will be less a static way to call someone, and more your Login ID for richer data driven communication.
You can read the full press release below.

Are Tablets Ready for Productivity? The Promise of What’s to Come…
Yesterday Google unveiled their new Nexus line up, new Chromecasts, and showed off a slew of services. One curious tease towards the end of their keynote revealed their strategy for offering up a new tier of productivity device.
The Pixel C.
Previous “Pixel” products utilized Google’s Chrome OS, but this next entry to the line will run stock Android, the operating system reserved for phones and tablets. Clearly Google is looking to compete with the recently announced iPad Pro, and the focus on productivity is clear.
