Apple rumoured to be holding iPhone event early September

If Apple’s past launch schedules are anything to go by, Apple will be launching the latest iteration of the iPhone in September. And this year is the year of the “S” models of the phone. Reports have been going around claiming the supposed “iPhone 6s” and “iPhone 6s Plus” will be unveiled around the second week of September. Some have claimed it could be Sept. 8 or 9.

According to Mashable, if you follow Apple’s patterns for its launches, we can expect iOS 9 around the 16th and then the phones will launch two days later on the 18th. Apple might also debut the revamped Apple TV and even the long-rumoured iPad Pro. Of course, none of these are confirmed yet. We have a few weeks to go before we can be sure we’re getting new stuff from Apple.

Get your ‘regular dose of space’ with NASA’s Tumblr account

NASA keeps extending its reach in the social media space. This time the space agency is coming to Tumblr with not one but four new accounts. The main account will have different images and videos of NASA’s work. The other three focus on specific areas. One is dedicated to updates on the Mar’s Curiosity rover. Another follows astronaut Peggy Wilson as she trains for a six-month mission on the International Space Station. And the last one follows NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter. If you want to keep track of what the space agency is doing, you can follow them here, too.

Microsoft bakes in Android Wear capability of OneNote into main app

 

Taking one app you’d have to download separately, Microsoft updated its OneNote app on Android to add Android Wear support. The Android Wear version of the app lets users view notes from the wearables and add new ones via voice command. There doesn’t seem to be any difference from the way OneNote Android Wear app worked before, this time, as mentioned, you just don’t have that extra app with you.

Demo shows YouTube Gaming app in action

Curious about what YouTube has up its sleeve for its Gaming app? Kotaku shows off a demo video of the app that’s still in its testing phase. It isn’t available for public release yet so if you see any kinks to it, it’s to be expected. You should probably play the guided tour clip in full-screen to actually see what’s happening. You can play around with the app through a leaked APK. It’s only available for Android users at the moment, though.
