iPhone Damask Edition looks expensive
If you’re looking for a uniquely designed iPhone, you might want to take a look at Sun & Moon Jewelry Studio’s creation, which is an iPhone that has been completely made from Damascus steel, which they have dubbed the iPhone Damask Edition. If you’re wondering why that sounds familiar, it’s because Nokia’s luxury spin-off, Vertu, has utilized the Damascus steel before in their Ascent Ti collection.
According to its designers, this particular edition of the iPhone has been carefully crafted with the precision used when putting together an aircraft engine. The protective frames of the phone are made from Alloy composite steel – 40H15 N14VK, with the steel’s hardness equivalent to about 225 HRC, which is basically used in machines that are used for cutting.
The Apple logo on the back of the phone is made of 16K gold, although an 18K version can also be requested along with a choice of other materials, such as palladium or platinum. The home button is also made from a natural topaz, although that can also be customized to alexandrite, emerald, garnet or sapphire. No word on how much this particular model will cost, although looking at Sun & Moon Jewelry Studio’s page, we don’t expect it to come cheap.

iPhone 6S Prepares For September 18th Release Date
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.

iPad Air 3 Not Coming This Year According To Rumors
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
