So, it has recently come out of the woodwork that Apple will be holding a special event on September 10th. At this event, it's widely expected that Apple will release the iPhone 5S, the refresh to the aging iPhone 5, among a few other exciting products. The nature of this event is likely to be focused on iOS devices, it's almost guaranteed that we'll see the Golden Master (GM) release of Apple's new software - iOS 7 - on this date too. And if few more bugs are found, and we’re lucky enough, we might actually see another beta before the GM release.
With iOS 7 just weeks away from release, much of the discussion has surrounded what developers will do with their own apps and how they will redesign their interfaces. As all eyes are on the developer community, it was almost forgotten that Apple too would need to update its own iOS apps to reflect the new interface that goes along with iOS 7.
When you spend a lot of money on a gadget, it stands to reason that you'll pony up a little more on a suitable protective case and some useful accessories.

Still, if you have an iPad mini, and are looking for some decent products to enhance the experience, look no further than the new Folio range from Logitech, a duo of high-grade new cases helping you increase productivity as well as protection.
Yesterday, we shared with you that YouTube v5.0 had been seeded to users by Google. Up until now however, this new version has been reserved for Android users, but we quickly found out that an iOS version was on the horizon - and it just dropped onto the App Store in the form of YouTube v2.0 for iOS. As Ben pointed out in his earlier post, the biggest change in this update is without doubt the new in-app multitasking functionality that allows you to watch a video, and browse the app itself with ease simultaneously.
Apple is a company of exceptional uniformity, but with the iPad 4 currently taking quite a different shape to the iPad mini, reports of the next iteration larger device taking design design cues of the smaller slate have been plentiful. Today, new images have emerged supposedly depicting the rear housing of the fifth-gen Cupertino tablet, giving even more legitimacy to the notion that the iPad 5 will indeed be enveloped in a similar finish as the iPad mini.

Not so long ago, Facebook's mobile prowess, or lack thereof, was a frequent criticism of the social network, but ever since version 5.0 landed for both iOS and Android, things have taken a dramatic upturn. Mark Zuckerberg and his team have been making frequent announcements of new features and enhancements just lately, and as a part of this progressive effort to improve the service, the iOS app has today been afforded a healthy update. Details after the break.
Although every iOS device now ships with built-in support for FaceTime, Microsoft-owned Skype still enjoys a decent following on Apple's range of mobile products. Today, many months after Windows Phone was treated to HD video calling support, the Redmond has updated its iPhone and iPad apps to deliver the same functionality to those in ownership of the iPhone 5 and iPad 4.
