Editing images has become something of a revelation on mobile devices, and in keeping with consumer demand, the developers of iOS have been relentless in their creation of apps to cater to photo manipulation.

The world wide web has been rife with speculation over the last few weeks as Apple's annual Worldwide Developer Conference drew closer, leaving us all wondering just what Tim Cook and his team would introduce to the world.
