Late last week, it emerged that a working SNES emulator could be installed on iDevices running on the latest iOS 8 software. The idea of a working emulator for iOS is, in itself, nothing particularly new, but ordinarily, one would require the assistance of a jailbreak in order to enjoy a nostalgic dose of the Super Nintendo. The fact that it works without a Cydia tweak is great for those who wish to enjoy the likes of Super Mario, but Apple, as you'd probably expect, is about to spoil the party by plugging the loophole with the impending iOS 8.1 update.
Talk of an enlarged, so-called "iPad Pro" has been rife for about a year now, but with the likes of the Microsoft Surface Pro and Samsung's Galaxy TabPro having rolled out in that time, there's a genuine feeling that Apple is finally poised to counter with a similar effort of its own. The slate, which will apparently include a 12.9-inch display, remains something of an enigma, but a new report cites the usual sources familiar by claiming that it will run a hybrid operating system combining bits of iOS and OS X into one.
We've barely had time to recover from the hysteria that is the iPhone announcement and subsequent release, but Apple isn't standing still. Set to be announced during a special event on October 16th are two new iPads, with the iPad Air and iPad mini on the verge of receiving refreshes.
Apple's decision to launch a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone may have ruffled a few feathers and divided opinion right down the middle, but there's one thing that's for sure; the jumbo-sized iPhone 6 Plus will definitely appeal to those who love to create, edit and consume media on the move. The 5.5-inch Retina HD display of the iPhone 6 Plus makes watching high-definition videos, swiping through photograph galleries and just generally interacting with any visual content an absolute pleasure. For those individuals who love creating and sharing moving masterpieces, Adobe has just launched its Premiere Clip application for iPhone & iPad, designed and developed to make editing videos a much simpler and more enjoyable task.
Earlier on the week, Popcorn Time, the so-called "Netflix of Torrents," finally made its way to iOS, although given Apple's rules on what can and what cannot pass through the App Store's moderation process, its developers could only target the jailbreak community. Many iOS 7 users have held back on updating to iOS 8 in a move to preserve their jailbreaks, and so could take advantage of Popcorn Time's introduction, but for the majority now running on the all-new iOS 8, the haven of free movies is out of bounds. There are, however, alternatives out there, and the one we're featuring here today has the advantage of not requiring a jailbreak, so if you're running stock software, this one may be for you.
Apple may currently be working to bring forth iOS 8.1 later on this month, which will include some exciting new features like Apple Pay, but even at its current duration, iOS 8 offers plenty of changes and improvements for the iDevice community to familiarize themselves with. Along with some of the more blatant additions to iOS 8, such as third-party keyboards and Notification Center widgets, Apple has made a multitude of subtle, less obvious adjustments, and among them, a long-standing gripe regarding App Store purchases has now been addressed.

Apple's iOS 8 has brought with it some truly impressive new features as well as some that should probably have been there since day one. Unfortunately, it also brings with it an extra icon or two that belong to apps that most people don't want on their home screen and, as we all know, if Apple wants us to use an app, there's no deleting it. Ever.
The month of October is invariably the point at which Apple takes the wraps off its latest tablet upgrades, and over the next few weeks, we're anticipating the public release of OS X Yosemite 10.10, a new iMac / Mac mini, and also iOS 8.1 to accompany the refreshed iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display. According to a very reliable source - the same source that correctly offered a concrete date on the iPhone 6 event last month, no less - the new hardware and software will be announced at a special event on October 16th, to be held at Town Hall.
Posting an update to any social network - or sending out a plain old IM - without an emoji is considered a minor sin these days. And while iOS does feature a brilliant built-in emoji keyboard to get things done, but Apple’s implementation does lack a few things which this new third-party iOS 8 keyboard swiftly fulfills.
