HTC offers Sense 6 lock screen on Google Play

HTC continues to unbundle its system apps and this time around the Sense 6 lock screen is decoupled from its firmware. However, you won’t be able to get this if your device isn’t running Sense 6. But for those who can run this, you would need to reboot after you install the lock screen. It’s not the most utilitarian app but it’s a good thing that it is making its way to Play Store so updates can get to us faster. If you own a One M8 or M7 you might be prompted to update pretty soon.

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

As the hangover of the recent Apple Event starts to wear off, we've had a chance to catch our breath and let all the information sink in. I've compiled some of the best photos of the new iPhone 6's taken during the launch event and demo area. While the photos really don't do the new phones much justice as the way they feel is just as important as the way they look. Still, here are some shots of the biggest and most powerful iPhones ever.
