We know that everyone's all super excited about getting their new iPhones on Friday, but when all the deliveries have landed and everyone's finished lining up all night, we're going to need some fancy new apps to install on those shiny new handsets. The App Store's rather full of great apps to download, both free and paid-for, but where do you start?

With all the chaos of Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus going on sale a couple of days ago still very much ringing in our ears, and now we're today hearing that some of those lucky enough to have managed to place a pre-order are now seeing their new smartphones ship ahead of the official September 19th release date.
We're now just three days away from the iPhone 6 announcement that we've all been counting down to, and with leaks upon leaks already having spoiled some aspects of the big unveiling, one feature that we're still largely in the dark about it mobile payments.
Apple's design team may be second to none when it comes to constantly dreaming up gorgeous computers and portables, but that doesn't mean that even Jony Ive's team can't be improved upon. That's presumably why Apple has snapped up design genius and Ive's friend Marc Newson.
The security of Apple's iCloud servers has had some considerable focus of late after a host of celebrities had their accounts raided and personal, intimate photos of them distributed online. After initially appearing to have been hacked, iCloud suffered quite the bloody nose over the incident.
We're inching closer and closer to Apple's big iPhone unveiling on the 9th of this month and while there's little doubt what we will be treated to product-wise, questions still swirl around what Apple is up to with a new structure that it is building at the Flint Center at De Anza College in Cupertino.
We're not sure what we're looking forward to the most when Apple takes the covers off the iPhone 6 - the chance to buy one or the end of all the leaks. Don't get us wrong, we find the whole cat and mouse thing as much as anyone, but it does eventually start to get little bit silly.
If you've ever wanted to buy your favorite beverage using just your iPhone then you may be a step close to that reality after new reports appeared earlier that have Apple and major payment firms doing deals to bring mobile payments to iOS.
Big breaches of security are never fun, but when you're the provider of cloud storage that holds all kinds of personal data, things can get particularly hairy when someone finds a way through. That's the situation Apple finds itself in today, or at least, that's the claim.
If you thought that your expensive Wi-Fi access point or router was secure, you may need to think again after a flaw was found in at least two of the chipsets used by hardware manufacturers.
