iTunes Radio, which launched alongside iOS 7 late last year, touts itself as a great service for music lovers to explore and discover new artists. However, unlike standard iTunes music tracks, users don't have the freedom of being able to move songs across different devices, for listening to at any time, anywhere. However, thanks to a little app called AirPlay Recorder, users can record the streaming audio for offline enjoyment, and for a one-off price of $9.99, you can create your very own, finely-tuned, all-weathers iTunes Radio.

It hasn’t been a great week for Apple in terms of security. The Cupertino company is currently coming under heavy fire for a SSL security issue that was recently discovered to be present in both iOS and OS X.

It's actually one of our most used new features, but it's true that it still needs work. This new iOS 8 concept video takes what Apple started and pushes it to the next level.
