Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple Announces Record Pre-orders for iPhone 6: Four Million in First 24 Hours
Apple today announced a record number of first day pre-orders of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, with over four million in the first 24 hours.
Demand for the new iPhones exceeds the initial pre-order supply and while a significant amount will be delivered to customers beginning on Friday and throughout September, many iPhone pre-orders are scheduled to be delivered in October. Additional supply of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available to walk-in customers on Friday, September 19 at 8:00 a.m. local time at Apple retail stores. Customers are encouraged to arrive early or order online from the Apple Online Store to pickup in-store or receive an estimated delivery date. Both models will also be available on Friday from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, additional carriers and select Apple Authorized Resellers.
“iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are better in every way, and we are thrilled customers love them as much as we do,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “Pre-orders for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus set a new record for Apple, and we can’t wait to get our best iPhones yet into the hands of customers starting this Friday.”

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Vizzywig 4K App Enables 4K Video Recording on Your iPhone 5s for $1000
Vizzywig 4K is a newly released app for the iPhone 5s that enables 4K video recording, editing, and distribution.
Rather than capturing video, VZ4K captures full 4K resolution photos at the rate of 24 photos per second along with synched audio. It then allows you to edit, add 4K transitions, titles, scrolling credits and background music and upload straight to YouTube in full 4K.
So what’s the catch? First, it requires an iPhone 5s with 32GB or 64GB storage capacity. Second, it requires iOS 7, which on September 17th will become an outdated OS. Third, and perhaps most prohibiting, the app costs a whopping $999.99.

Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed an important feature of the upcoming Apple Watch – it’s ability to play music without the need for an iPhone.
