Apple's big move away from textures and 3D effects is well documented, and it feels like iOS 7 has dominated the news cycle for some time now. From rumor to a real shipping beta, the changes in visual design and user experience is something that has seen much discussion. While there's no doubt that Jony Ive's vision is very different to that of Scott Forstall's, it remains to be seen where the App Store's mass of developers will take their own apps once iOS 7 is closer to release.
World Rally Champion Colin McRae may have passed on some years ago in a tragic helicopter incident, but his legacy has lived on through the motorsport title he endorsed when he was at the top of his game. Colin McRae Rally is regarded as one of the original titles for rally fans, and now, the classic title has gone mobile. After several years in the wilderness, Colin McRae Rally for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is here and ready to download right now from the iOS App Store.
This summer has emerged as a pivotal time for e-reading apps. Google Reader is going defunct, AOL Reader has just been rolled out as a Web service, and rumor has it that Facebook is also set to join the party with its own magazine service à la Flipboard. Today, as promised, Digg has added reader features to its iOS app, which notably, allows users to import straight from Google Reader.
It's generally accepted that you can never have too much information available at any given time, but it all comes down to how that information is presented, which is why jailbroken users could possibly be interested in the new HomeDisplay tweak that has landed in Cydia.

With the iPhone having revolutionized the phone as we know it, it's no surprise that with the 6th-generation iPhone, it still remains one of the most popular handsets on the market. You can hardly get on a bus, train or walk down the street, without seeing someone with an iPhone.
Ahh, 2010. It feels so long ago doesn't it? Well it will do when we remind you that 2010 was the year of the infamous iPhone 4 found-in-a-bar shenanigans that led to all kinds of headlines the world over.
Apps are wondrous little inventions, allowing us to increase productivity yet procrastinate heavily in one fell swoop. If you're looking for something to kill a lot of time, you've probably already been captured by the hopelessly addictive Candy Crush Saga, but if you are on the hunt for an app to help you out from day to day, a new app called HEARD certainly could pique your interest. In essence, it records sounds around you, allowing you to playback sounds and as such, recall details you might have missed from important conversations, such as instructions from your boss or the passcode you discussed with somebody and ought to have jotted down.
The behavior of iOS 7 beta after a screenshot is taken differs significantly from what we've seen hitherto, with active screen touches "no longer canceled when the user takes a screenshot." This, for services like the popular Snapchat, means that the in-built screenshot detection is essentially nullified, and with this being an integral part of that and the likes of Facebook Poke, the security offered by said applications is under serious threat.
