After tracking his son’s stolen iPhone through Find My iPhone, Derek Grant ended up stabbing and killing the thief who robbed his son at knifepoint, in self defense.
Jordan, 20, was initially robbed of his iPhone at knifepoint. He went home and told his dad, Derek Grant, who proceeded to locate the stolen device through Find my iPhone. Grant and his two younger sons aged 16 and 17 confronted Patrick Bradley, a thief who had a significant record for violence.
Grant demanded Bradley hand over the phone but instead Bradley stabbed Grant in the left eye. Grant retaliated by grabbing his own knife he brought for safety and proceeded to stab Bradley multiple times, ultimately killing the robber.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - iPhone 6 to Feature 802.11ac Wi-Fi, 2.0 GHz A8 Chip, NFC, Improved Touch ID, More
The iPhone 6 will reportedly feature 802.11ac Wi-Fi, a 2.0 GHz A8 processor, NFC, improved Touch ID, and possibly a special chip for authenticating Beats headsets, reports VentureBeat.
Sources tell the site that as rumored a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch model of the iPhone 6 are under development; however, the 4.7-inch version will likely ship first with the larger smartphone shipping weeks or even a month later.
The site believes that the new smartphones will feature a display cover that is made out of an extremely hard material that’s slightly stronger than Gorilla Glass but not as hard as sapphire. This is in line with leaked front panel videos that showed a very strong part which wasn’t as durable as pure sapphire.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - China Reportedly Bans Government Purchases of Apple Products
China has removed Apple products from the list of eligible items that can be bought with public money due to security concerns, according to Bloomberg.
Ten Apple products including iPad, iPad Mini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro were removed from the government procurement list for July. Both the iPads and MacBooks were on the June version of the list. These changes come just weeks after the Chinese state media labeled the iPhone a “national security concern.”
Apple is the latest U.S. technology company to be excluded from Chinese government purchases amid escalating tensions between the countries over claims of hacking and cyberspying. China’s procurement agency told departments to stop buying antivirus software from Symantec Corp. and Kaspersky Lab, while Microsoft Corp. was shut out of a government purchase of energy-efficient computers.
