Mobile Nations Weekly: Sticky S Pens, an iPhone 6s event, and leaky ships<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Sure, next week is IFA 2015, but that doesn't mean we can't have news now!</p> <p><img src="

it sticks and will probably break your phone when you try to pull it out (if you can). So don't do that. Apple also announced the date for the anticipated
iPhone 6s launch event, more
photos of the BlackBerry Venice Android slider leaked out, as did the
Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL and their Continuum dock.</p> <p>It's time for Mobile Nations Weekly!</p> <p><a href="

iPhone 6s,
iPhone 6s Plus, and
Apple TV. Oh, and
iOS 9 and
watchOS 2 as well. It's going to be a
big show this year. How big? Just
ask Siri for a hint.</p> <ul><li>

the S Pen being stuck inside the phone, or broken, or both. So please, folks. Don't put your S Pen back in the phone backward. That crisis died out pretty quickly, though, so we have a feeling folks got the message loud and clear.</p> <ul><li>

the BlackBerry Venice slider appeared in some fresh images which show off the device from nearly all angles. In other news, BlackBerry announced a new
WatchDox app for BlackBerry 10 Enterprise customers, closing off the question of how they would integrate the service into BlackBerry 10 devices.</p> <ul><li>

Cityman and Talkman – are expected to be announced in October and so far, audience reaction to the designs is mixed at best. Indeed, in our
currently ongoing poll 1/3 flat out think the new Lumias don't look so hot. Will people change when the phones hit shelves in November? Time will tell.</p> <p>Windows Insiders received a new build of the Windows 10 desktop OS. Build 10532 hit computers this week bringing along with it some menu UI and
Microsoft Edge improvements. Speaking of Windows 10, the OS is now installed on more than 75 million computers and should surpass the OS X install base sometime in September.</p> <ul><li>

Connectedly, we looked at reasons why you
should and
shouldn't buy the new Samsung Note 5. We also show you a new
wireless home monitoring camera that has been getting a lot of attention. We showed you how to make your own
motion-sensing monitoring system using an old Android device. Valve stems that alert you of low tire pressure, bicycle lights that you can lock up, and a new product that turns your older car into a smart connected one.</p> <ul><li>
