More Budget iPhone Parts Leak Confirming Color Options, Conceptualized In Beautiful Renders [IMAGES]
The so-called budget iPhone seemed like a ridiculous concept some time ago, a notion reserved for the dreamers or otherwise deluded. But as time has gone on, the prospect of Apple creating a smartphone aimed at the budget end of the market has become a very real possibility, with various leaks and reports suggesting that such a device is indeed a part of Apple's plans. Following the recent Techdy leak of the handset, which combined seemingly legitimate front and back ends to create a visual representation of the alleged device for the world to see, there have been one or two more leaks and concepts thrown up to add even more gasoline to the burning fire. Details after the break!
As Snapchat has shown over the past few months, there's a pretty huge market for self-destructing photo sharing, and looking to integrate this model into Facebook comes an app called Secret.li. Newly released over at the iOS App Store, borrows from the idea of Snapchat in that it allows you to upload images that, in turn will delete themselves after a set amount of time.
A new study by Internet auction house eBay has drawn perhaps the least surprising conclusion on our mobile usage habits, discovering that we are, collectively, addicted to apps. Having challenged 200 iPhone users to go four whole days without their favorite mobile apps, eBay found that a whopping third of participants could not go the distance, while more than half were less happy without streamlined access to their content.
It's fair to say that a lot of the iOS based discussion on social media sites at the moment is centered around iOS 7 beta 3, and more specifically the differences between this latest version and the original beta launched immediately after this year's WWDC keynote. The sweeping changes between previous versions of iOS and this beta are there for all to see, but it's extremely interesting to see Apple reflecting on developer feedback and making amendments as they go forward towards the final release. What's more interesting though are the changes that some of us might not notice, including the move to utilize the Retina interface assets from iPhone apps in order to provide a better experience for non-Retina iPad users in '2x' mode.
While physics-based puzzlers are perhaps the most popular variety of mobile games, a certain army of tower defense fans may have a case to refute such a claim. From Fieldrunners to Bloons TD, there are perhaps hundreds of these addictive strategy titles available on the App Store, but few have reached the level of popularity of Plants Vs. Zombies. Today, the sequel to the original, which has naturally been entitled Plants Vs. Zombies 2, has become available at the Australian and New Zealand App Stores, and although the U.S. / worldwide rollouts tend to follow shortly thereafter, it looks as though the rest of us won't be seeing the game just yet.
The next generation iPhone, widely presumed to carry the iPhone 5S moniker, remains almost entirely a mystery. There has been incessant talk of fingerprint sensors and other such niceties, but tangible evidence of any of the reported implementations remains at a premium. As we edge ever close to what is presumed to be a fall release, the leaks and rumors are likely to come on strong, and to kick things off, sources of 9to5Mac believe the forthcoming iPhone will include slow-motion video recording.
So here we are. Right on schedule, Apple unleashed iOS 7 beta 3 upon the world, and it was good. Well, better than beta 2 was at least, but we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Photography is a big thing for many iPhone users. Thanks to its ability to take some of the best photos possible with a smartphone, the iPhone 5 is perhaps the world's most popular photo-taking device, and with good reason. It also means that the App Store is full of interesting photography apps, and was also the reason that Instagram took off so quickly, leading to a huge buyout by Facebook.
iOS 7 Beta 3 download has just been seeded for iPhone 5, 4S, 4, iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch 5 by Apple, allowing those signed up to the company's dev program to check on the progress the Cupertino company has made over the past couple of weeks.
