With the Google Motion Stills, shaky and unusable Live Photos will turn into a more beautiful creation thanks to the app’s impressive motion tracking and stabilization tech. This works by freezing the background areas of Live Photos while allowing the foreground to move freely. The output? A professional-looking steady Live Photo in GIF format for easy sharing.

Here are some samples provided by Google:

All of the features that we’re on the smaller model were pretty much carried over to the iPhone 6S Plus. This includes the new engine setup comprising of the new Apple A9 processor with the M9 motion co-processor, the improved 12-megapixel iSight camera with Deep Trench Isolation, and the Retina Flash for better selfies using the handset’s 5-megapixel FaceTime HD camera.

The only thing that’s different about the iPhone 6S Plus is the screen size, albeit it still get the same suite of improvements found on the iPhone 6S like 3D Touch and Taptic Engine.

If we were to go by the leaker’s report, the iPhone 6S would have a 2000 x 1125 pixels, while its bigger brother 6S Plus would stretch out to 2208 x 1242 resolution. This would result to a leap in pixel count from 326 to 488ppi and 401 to 460ppi for the current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, respectively.

There have been a few rumors and leaks before, but this is the first time details about the display have been given close attention to.

In addition, there were benchmark scores from Geekbench published on the same site that show a 1.8GHz Apple A9 chip and 2GB RAM running on what is to be believed as an iPhone 6S. It scored 2,248 for its single-core test and 4,038 for the multi-core benchmark. For reference, real scores for iPhone 6’s 2014 results are 1,610 and 2,883 — meaning the new iPhone would show a huge improvement if these prove true.

It’s only a few days’ time until we hear the official announcement from Apple. Are you excited?
