However, it does offer customers the ability to order online and pick the device up in store.
Masque: A new security threat has found its way past the iPhone’s protections, BGR notes. The new security threat is called “Masque” and it has the ability to record information from a person’s iPhone and send it to hackers. The malicious software woks by replacing an already existing app on a person’s smartphone without their knowledge. However, the fake app will only be downloaded if a person clicks on a link in an email or message that claims to lead to the App Store.
Production: A new rumor claims that the next generation of iPhones will enter mass production late this month, reports MacRumors. The new rumor comes from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He claims that the rumored iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have faced a delay that has pushed mass prodcution back by one to two weeks. However, the analyst claims that this won’t affect the device’s possible September launch. Kuo claims that Foxconn is making 60% of the smartphones while Pegatron makes the other 40%.
