The Apple iSight is hands down one of the best Webcams we've seen. Its sleek style, great image quality, sensitive microphone, and flawless integration make it the perfect complement for users of iChat and iMovie, but not for users of other messaging services.Read more

Apple iPad Pro review: Is this the best iPad ever?

Until now, the cameras have never been an important feature of the iPads. With the iPad Pro (9.7-inch), that has changed. The new iPad comes with a 12MP iSight camera ( with dual LED flash) with features such as Live Photos, True Tone Flash, Panorama (up to 63MP), 4K video recording (3,840x2,160) at 30 fps and 1080p HD video recording at 30 or 60 fps along with 5MP FaceTime HD Camera. These are available in the company's latest flagship iPhone 6, too. This clearly shows the company's emphasis to make sure this iPad gives you best of both worlds — a good laptop experience combined with some nice features picked up from the new iPhones. The images captured by the iPad have vibrant colours and accurate details. This can be seen in images captured outdoors as well as indoors. However, given its size, some might find it inconvenient to click pictures with a 10-inch device in their hands. 12MP iSight camera

Apple iPhone 6s And 6s Plus Review

The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus may look just like last year's iPhones, but hardware updates and Apple's new 3D Touch feature make them feel completely new. While the new cameras and 4K video recording may get the hype, it's the 2GB of RAM that steals the show.
