Imgur has finally brought its image sharing services to iOS in the form of a new app released over at the App Store. Imgur for iPhone makes it easy to view rate and share those viral images we all know and love, and although it does have one or two shortcomings in its fledgling state, is well worth checking out and downloading. Details after the break.
The Temple Run franchise has undoubtedly been one of the many success stories of the iOS and Google Play Stores. If you are an owner of an iOS or Android device, and are into mobile gaming then the first and second iterations of Temple Run will more than likely have a permanent home in your 'Games' folder. The idea of running through expansive jungle environments while trying to evade being captured by an evil monkey definitely appeals to our primal early-man instincts. But now, things have gotten a little more extreme with an app update that offers gamers the chance to play as the fastest man on the planet - Usain Bolt.
iMessage, Apple's cross device messaging service for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac, has been a relative success since first appearing with iOS 5 and subsequently, OS X Lion. Yet like most fledgling services, it has had its fair share of teething issues, with a notable lack of proper blocking / reporting feature in place for spam messages. iOS 7 will allow users to block Apple IDs causing offence as we already know, but now, the Cupertino has also rolled out a nifty spam reporting feature enabling users to take action against any kind of intrusive or otherwise unwanted behavior.
Apple has been releasing new betas for iOS 7 like clockwork since its announcement at WWDC, with every second Monday seeing the fruit of the Cupertino company's development work. But the fourth beta saw a break in the release pattern due to a security breach over at the dev portal that happened about two weeks ago. But thankfully, Apple has been keen on fixing the security issues and after a early leak of iOS 7 beta 4 download links, it is now officially available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch on Dev Center.
This is just in. Looks like Apple has randomly started signing iOS 6.0.x for a number of devices including the latest iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad mini, iPad 4, 3 and iPod touch 5. If you accidently updated to the latest firmware, or if your device came with iOS 6.1.4 / 6.1.3 pre-installed, now is the time to downgrade back to 6.0.x and jailbreak using Evasi0n.

The next-gen iPhone will probably take a similar form factor to the current flagship iPhone 5, leading many to believe the device will carry the 'iPhone 5S' moniker. However, Apple has a habit of changing things up and pulling the wool over everybody's eyes, so until we see the device as revealed perhaps later this year, there's scope for everybody to dream up their own ideas of the shape the next generation iPhone will take. That's exactly what designer Pritesh Chavan has done with his transforming iPhone 6 concept that sees the device unfold into a phablet-type device before eventually revealing another seam to create a fully-fledged tablet.
Apple has posted its earnings call for the third fiscal quarter leading up to June 29th, 2013, and although the numbers do not generally make for as impressive a reading as this time last year, the company's flagship iPhone smartphone continues to go from strength to strength. The company posted quarterly revenue of $35.3 billion (compared with $35 billion year-on-year), translating to a quarterly net profit of $6.9 billion ($8.8 billion), or $7.47 ($9.32) per diluted share.
It's been a while since we had a good Apple patent that got our juices flowing, but this latest one somehow manages to get us excited and rather dismayed both at the same time. The patent in question is called 'Projected display shared workspaces' and while the name may be particularly uninteresting, the technology it promises is actually far more interesting than it sounds. See, it would appear that Apple is working on the idea of incorporating a projector right into its range of devices, specifically those running iOS. Interested in knowing more?

VideoLAN's VLC is a media player used by millions worldwide on a daily basis. Famed for its robust functionality along with its ability to handle anything thrown at it with relative aplomb, VLC spans most of the major platforms, including Windows, OS X, and Android. One place it has never managed to established itself is the App Store, having been acrimoniously pulled by Apple's armed moderation team, but today, and as promised by the team yesterday, VLC for iOS dramatically returns for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Details after the jump!
