As a frequent traveller and someone who has to use various smartphones, notebooks and tablets for work and evaluation, keeping the files I am working on handy continues to be a challenge. The SanDisk Wireless Connect Stick is an essential for me as portable and wirelessly accessible storage.

The new Adobe Photoshop Fix app improves its support for the Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro with its latest update. Not only does it now recognize pressure changes, it can also recognize tilt shading as well. This helps market the iPad Pro further as a precision editing tool for professionals. From the image above, you can now be more precise when you edit photos. The Pencil lets you fill in larger spaces quickly and apply more or less adjustment just by adjusting your force and without tweaking hardness or softness settings.

Facebook is getting into the spirit of the holidays with new features for its Messenger app. One feature is Photo Magic. What this does is it makes it easier for you to share holiday snaps with friends and loved ones. When you take photos, Facebook’s face recognition will look for your friends on Messenger and then prompt you to send these photos to your friends. You can also opt out of this. The feature was limited before but is now more available for users. You can check if you have it by going to Messenger settings (the cogwheel) and then tapping on Photos & Media. The Photo Magic option should be there.
Another new feature is some Christmas-themed options in Messenger. Just tap on the info button of one of your conversation and from there you can change color of your chat window, or even your emojis to something more season-appropriate. If you select the likes of Christmas tree or snowman, you can even make it snow on your mobile screen phone. Or you can download Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Frozen sticker packs for some snowy surprises. And those on Android should see the snow globe effect on friends’ chat heads again for a limited time.

For Flickr’s Year in Review, we see that the iPhone has overtaken Canon as the most used camera brand for 2015. It jumps from around 25 percent to about 30 percent over the past year, with Canon going down to roughly 20 percent in the same period. The top six most popular cameras are all Apple devices. iPhone 6, then iPhone 5s, followed by the iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 4, and then iPhone 6. The Apple domination gets broken as Canon EOS 5D Mark II takes the seventh spot but they regain it yet again with the iPhone 5c in the eighth spot.
The only other smartphone brand to make the list is Samsung with the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5 taking the 11th and 13th spot, respectively, and the Galaxy S3 taking the 19th spot and sandwiched between two Nikon DSLRs.
