There is no doubt that smartphone users are looking forward to Apple's upcoming event less than a week from now, where the tech giant will unveil their new gadgets, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. These gadgets will surely offer users a brand new level of experience.
Earlier reports suggest that iPhone 6s may not be that in-demand. According to an analyst, the smartphone may lack the killer feature to drive sales, CNN has learned. This is because the said phone boasts for its Force Touch feature, which failed to excite MacBook and Apple Watch owners who already had the said feature.
Moreover, the same report suggests that Apple has hit a downturn in China. The company used to be the number one smartphone seller in the said country, which is the world's largest smartphone market, but now they are in the third place, following Xiaomi and Huawei.
Despite this report, Apple is reportedly increasing the orders of iPhone 6s a week prior to its release date, according to Japan Display CEO Mitsuru Homma, Cult of Mac reports. "They're coming to us with more orders, saying 'give us more, give us more'. They keep increasing," he said.
The report revealed that Homma did not mention Apple during the interview but he referred to Japan Display's "biggest client" which is unlikely to be anyone but Apple. Apple had a deal with Japan Display to build a $1.4 billion factory dedicated to producing smartphone displays for future iPhones.
It was not also revealed if the increase in orders are due to Apple's faith in iPhone 6s or if they are just simply giving Japan Display a bigger portion of the iPhone pie. However, Tim Cook has emailed CNBC "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer assuring shareholders that the company's performance in China is experiencing a strong growth through July and August. Cook admitted that he cannot tell the future but described their performance this quarter as "reassuring."

On the other hand, Apple rejects the new app called "Cecil's Revenge" which turns the tables, making the wild animals like lions, giraffes, and other wildlife the hunters targeting the poachers, TMZ has learned. In a separate report from Cult of Mac, the app features a safari truck with a cheerful wildlife animals firing at caricatures of hunters from old colonialists with rifles to Africans with guns.
The developers of the said game revealed the reason why their app was rejected citing the Apple's rule that "enemies in games cannot target a specific race, culture, real government or any other real enemy." Apple believes that poachers are part of a specific culture.
Google on the other hand approves the app and it is now available for download without charges.
