SlideShow: Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

As the hangover of the recent Apple Event starts to wear off, we've had a chance to catch our breath and let all the information sink in. I've compiled some of the best photos of the new iPhone 6's taken during the launch event and demo area.

BMW and Mini make it easy to record on-road adventures with your GoPro

BMW and Mini have made it easier to integrate your GoPro with your car. The action cam now works with BMW’s infotainment system. It lets you configure the camera, choose from the pre-set modes, and start and stop recordings right on the in-car system’s screen.

There are a few requirements though. It only works on 2012 or newer BMW and Mini models that come with BMW Apps or Mini Connected option. You can only use Wi-Fi-connected GoPro a.k.a. HERO3+ and you would need to connect to an iPhone 4 or later to the car via USB because this will be the only way to communicate with the entertainment suite using GoPro’s iOS app.
