SkyLight transforms iPhone into microscope
From time to time, there comes along a pretty good idea over at Kickstarter, and here is another one that might just pique your interest, as well as leaving you generous enough to commit a certain amount of money to see it get manufactured. While the iPhone is a definite hotbed for accessories, the SkyLight might be the next big thing for Cupertino’s best iPhone yet. Why do we say that? Well, the SkyLight comprises of a sleek, easy-to-use adapter which is capable of being connected to an iPhone, turning it into a microscope in the process. SkyLight’s creators intend to help doctors and nurses in rural areas as well as developing nations connect with patients.
The SkyLight will require one to hold an iPhone steady over the eyepiece where the image is formed, making it extremely easy to snap photos as well as videos via the microscope. Once a recording is done, all the images and videos are saved on the phone itself, where it can then be used in a myriad of ways such as sharing on social networks, emailed to colleagues for further reference, the list goes on. To use it with FaceTime allows doctors to examine samples remotely and provide immediate feedback.
There is $4,850 left to go, with 27 days on the calendar to see the SkyLight become reality.

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.
