The main thing is that Android OS has captured the Mobile OS market (phones tablets) and Microsoft Windows 10 has to strive very hard to get there. The new phones have Android Pay (payment technology) with improved privacy and power saving capabilities. Hey! There is a new personal assistant as well, the Google Now on Tap.

New Apple phones went on sale today at the Apple store in Kahala Mall in Honolulu (there are two Apple Stores in Honolulu). I went there a little after 1:00 p.m. The crowd was not more than what is normal for this store. Sales assistants told me there was a crowd in the morning.

This is an interesting development that takes user experience to new level. From a gentle pressing to deep pressing,  you will experience a different response taking multi-touch to new levels and what is more you get a real-time feedback from the new Taptic Engine. With this you will be experiencing new ways of interacting with your phone (PEEK and POP), in addition to what you had earlier (TAP, SWIPE and PINCH). The feedback from Taptic engine lets you feel what you did.
