Apple launches new World Gallery of Shot on iPhone 6S images from 41 photographers across the globe

Comprised of 53 images from 41 individuals across the globe and will be featured in 85 cities in 26 countries.

Apple is starting its popular Shot on iPhone 6S campaign with 53 new images from 41 individuals across the globe and will be featured in 85 cities in 26 countries. Photos are taken by photographers of various levels of experience and all they have in common is that they use the iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus to shoot remarkable photos.

This year's focus is on people rather than landscapes or objects. Chosen photos include found, non-commissioned iPhone 6s images which will be shared via an outdoor and print campaign. The initiative’s geographical scale makes it possibly the largest mobile photography gallery in history. There's apparently some Canadian content as well. Montreal-based photographer Pierre Babin is one of the photographers chosen for the series and his photo, like that of other chosen photographers, will appear on large public billboards starting today.

How-to: Find repair for a broken iPhone

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla 

My wife’s iPhone 6 recently took one too many spills and despite having a thin case and a screen protector, it still fell around four feet into bathroom tile screen first. The result, a long crack across the display. While the device could still be used, there was no other choice but to get that display and digitizer replaced.

The iPhone was no longer under warranty and I did not purchase AppleCare for this device, which worried me. I checked out local repair services like iRepair and the cost of materials and labour were around $180 plus tax, so I decided to check what the Apple Store would charge.

Lamborghini sells a record 3,245 cars in 2015

Luxury supercar maker Lamborghini has sold a record 3,245 cars in 2015 which is a record for the Volkswagen-owned automaker. Lamborghini's previous record was 2,430 units sold in 2008, which was affected subsequently by global economic downturn that hit exotic car manufacturers.

Lamborghini is looking to increase sales in the future with the new Urus crossover joining the Huracan and Aventador models currently being sold.
