Apple cleverly advertises actual iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sizes in Rolling Stone Magazine
Apple's current marketing campaign for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is focusing on the sizes of the new handsets, which are larger than earlier iPhone models. To help consumers get a feel for the size of the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, Apple is cleverly using a full-page ad in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine to display the actual sizes of the two devices, as spotted by The Mac Observer, Shown partially above, the back cover advertisement places the iPhone 6 next to an iPhone 6 Plus with a simple tagline, "Actual Sizes." Underneath the phones is a quick list of the major features offered in Apple's latest iPhone handsets. Not only is the page eye-catching, it also allows Rolling Stone magazine readers to compare their current phone to Apple's latest models to see how they size up. Head over to The Mac Observer to view the full ad, which is pictured along with an iPhone 5s as a size comparison.

Rolling Stone magazine hits Apple Newstand
Music fans can now subscribe to an iPad version of Rolling Stone magazine through the iOS Newsstand app. That magazine has been available through Zinio for a while, but the new version is optimized for the iPad with music-specific features. The magazine costs US$19.99 for a full-year subscription, and a monthly recurring subscription runs $1.99 an issue. If you're not sure you want to subscribe but still want to take a look at an issue, that'll set you back $4.99. The iPad version has full iTunes integration, so songs or albums described in the magazine have direct links for music samples and purchasing the music. Do current Rolling Stone subscribers get a freebie for the Newsstand version? Nope, they'll have to pay for the electronic version in addition to the print edition. Also note that you won't be able to view the magazine on the iPhone or iPod touch -- Rolling Stone gathers only iPads right now.

Rolling Stone magazine coming to the iPad
Unlike its competition, which jumped at the chance to get its magazines on the iPad, Wenner Media has been slow to embrace the tablet and its digital subscriptions. The publisher is finally ready to take the plunge and is preparing to bring Rolling Stone Magazine and US Weekly to the iPad in 2012. These two magazines will be tablet versions of the print magazine and, sadly, won't offer any new or unique content. Before it kicks off Rolling Stone, Wenner will test the waters with a tablet app about the Beatles. The app will be an enhanced version of Rolling Stone's The Beatles: The Ultimate Album-by-Album Guide. The print version of the album guide has little-know facts about every track on every Beatle's album. The digital version will include this treasure trove of information and add both song samples and interviews with the band. It will be available starting December 1st.
