TWiP 482: iPhone 7 Arrives

It’s a holiday month of sorts in the tech industry, this is the month when Apple releases their newest flagship product, the iPhone. The emphasis in this release was on the iPhone 7’s camera capabilities and Apple has put their substantial weight behind upping the ante when it comes to mobile photography.

Also, Google has added new features to its already popular Google Photos app for iOS. In some ways, “fixing” one of iPhone cameras features “Live Photos”.

And lastly, we have a thought-provoking discussion about censorship and social responsibility as it applies to Facebook. Can we really consider the social network “just” a social network anymore?
