Even though Apple dished out a bunch of useful improvements and enhancements with the big iOS 7 update, there are still certain aspects that could well be improved. In fact, given how there's still no way to quickly compose or reply to a message without stepping away from the current task at hand, we'd go as far as to say that iOS is still significantly bereft in several key areas, and whilst such functionality can be readily achieved via jailbreak, it's always better to have these options at stock level. One wily iOS user has found a makeshift way of quick-replying to and composing messages without having to jump to the Messages app every time, and although it's somewhat limited, we also think its pretty neat.
If you're trying to find some decent apps, the chances are you're looking for both quality and value.

Large companies often join forces in synergistic promotional moves, and it looks like famed rock band Coldplay has hooked up with Starbucks to push its latest song free of charge.

If you're a baseball fan and in particular, a follower of the Major League, then you've come to the right place since one of the most popular titles has just dropped from $9.99 to absolutely free of charge. It's often the case that developers throw out some decent savings on great games and apps, but seldom do we see a price drop of ten bucks, and with the limited-time promo offer coinciding with a major point-nought update, this is a must-download for all MLB fanatics.
Along with the two iPhone 6 variants, the alleged iWatch, the Retina MacBook Air and Touch ID-enabled iPads - allied to a whole bunch of other purported releases arriving out of Cupertino this year - Apple is said to be plotting an "iPad Pro," which would offer a notable increase in form factor on the current 9.7-inch-displaying iPad Air. So far, solid information has been at a premium, and whilst a new dummy leak of the enlarged slate on Weibo looks suspect, to say the least, it does offer a potential glimpse of the device's form factor.
