HTC debuts a limited edition 24-karat gold One M9

24-karat gold One M9
The HTC One M9 comes in a variety of colors already, but apparently HTC wasn’t content with not having a phone that wasn’t 24-karat gold.
On Friday, June 5, HTC officially unveiled a brand new variant of the One M9, but this one’s a limited edition model. This particular handset is a hallmark to the end of the UEFA Champions League season, as well as the final for the Champions League. It’ll be handed out to a few lucky winners beginning tomorrow, with the UEFA Champions League title on the back. There’s also seating information below that, interestingly enough.

The 24-karat gold One M9 will certainly stand out. HTC hasn’t said how much the thing will cost, but it’s reaosnable to assume it’s a lot of money.

In its never-ending quest of engineering ever thinner and lighter devices, Apple is said to use smaller LED backlighting chips that could, at least theoretically, make the next iPhone(s)—you guessed right— smaller and lighter. Citing a TrendForce report, DigiTimes said Tuesday that next-generation ‘iPhone 6s’ and ‘iPhone 6s Plus’ will adopt smaller LED chips for the display’s backlight unit. The new chips reportedly measure three mm wide, 0.85mm tall and 0.4mm deep versus the 3.0mm x 0.85mm x 0.6mm chips used in the present-generation iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices.

I’m not entirely convinced that the next iPhones will have a slimmer ...
