Sony takes dig at Apple, asks Siri about battery life of new iPhones

Posted on by

Soon after it was revealed that the new Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus smartphones have the same battery life as last year’s iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, rival Sony took a dig at the Cupertino-based company and its new smartphones.

A battery life worth talking about. Up to 2 days’ battery with #Xperia Z5 series: http://t.co/n7KuPge34V http://pic.twitter.com/ldA7KWYyns— Sony Xperia (@sonyxperia) September 9, 2015

The Japanese company tweeted an image – similar to the one Apple sent late last month along with its press invites for the 6s/6s Plus event – asking Siri about the battery life of the newly-unveiled iPhones, followed by the text “Switch to Sony.” Trumpeting the Xperia Z5 series’ 2 day battery life, the company’s tweet also included link to a Sony website that’s intended to help iOS users make a switch.

If you aren’t in the know, the Xperia Z5, Z5 Compact, and Z5 Premium, that were unveiled last week, have already received a price cut. There are also rumors that a Premium model of the Z5 Compact as well as Z5 Ultra will also be launched soon.

Chipotle Delivery Option Coming To 40 U.S. Colleges Via Tapingo In The Fall

Posted on by

Chipotle Mexican Grill — the popular burrito restaurant chain — will be offering a delivery option to over 40 college campuses in the U.S. this fall. The Chipotle delivery option is made possible through a partnership with food delivery app company Tapingo. And Chipotle delivery through Tapingo will be expanding to over 100 college campuses by spring 2016. Tapingo generally charges between $1.99 and $4.99 for delivering food.
“Tapingo, which has been well received by students where its services are available, knows how to connect with these younger customers. That shared acceptance among younger customers made them a great choice for us to expand delivery aimed specifically at students,” said Chipotle’s chief creative and development officer Mark Crumpacker in a statement.
Chipotle’s partnership with Tapingo extends its ability to deliver food. Earlier this year, Chipotle started offering food delivery service through Postmates and OrderUp across major cities in the U.S. for a cost of between $4.99 and $7.99 per order depending on the distance. However, Chipotle’s partnership with Tapingo is the restaurant’s first college-focused delivery option. Chipotle is already available in six schools, including: Arizona State University, California State University Chico, Louisiana State University, University of Arizona, University of Southern California and Northern Arizona University.
