iOS 7 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is finally here. The next logical step for any user is to look forward to the apps that will be updated for Apple’s latest mobile operating system. And we have handpicked the top apps updated for iOS 7 which you should download - or update to - right now.
Today is iOS 7 day, not that we need to tell you that. If you've been anywhere near the internet today then you'll no doubt have had that fact rammed down your throat repeatedly by this point.
Infinity Blade, when first launched, defined and shaped the scenario of iOS gaming, and established Apple’s portable devices as having true gaming potential. Even today, it is hailed as a benchmark for quality gaming experience on the iPhone and the iPad. And now, the third installment in the Infinity Blade series, Infinity Blade III, which was showcased on the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c unveiling event, is now finally available on the iTunes App Store.
If there's one thing that a big new release of iOS guarantees, it's more app updates in the space of a week than we usually see in a couple of months. If our iPhones are anything to go by tonight, then the chances are you're all seeing a lot of developers have had their updates approved today, ready for iOS 7 shipping on the 18th.
It may still be a week until FIFA 14 gets its console release, but that doesn't mean that those packing an iOS device can't get their (proper) football on.
Grand Theft Auto, or GTA, as it is more popularly known, is one of the largest and most successful gaming franchises in the history of the industry, and the upcoming GTA 5 title due for release tomorrow is only going to strengthen that. While there are still a few hours to go to that, the official companion iOS app from Rockstar games, Grand Theft Auto: iFruit, has already gone live in the iTunes App Store.
Apple's iOS is a very popular, generally stable mobile OS, but in terms of functionality, is still rather limited. The jailbreak scene has ensured that, at least for those willing to release the Cupertino's shackles, said constraints can be removed, and one of the areas in which jailbreakers have reaped the biggest benefits is in messaging. The likes of BiteSMS have changed the face of messaging on iOS, and now, another entrant purports to make the process of managing SMS just that little bit more pleasurable. It's called Anemo, and you can catch the details after the leap!
The demise of Google Reader brought with it a fair amount of unhappy mojo within the technology industry. A number of extremely popular and favored RSS readers and apps were forced to withdraw their support for the service, which in some cases left the software in a position where it either needed to reinvent itself or simply fall into the RSS abyss. Silvio Rizzi's Reeder app was always considered to be one of the best feed readers around, meaning that there was no way the developer would let his creation wither and die. The next-generation of the Reeder app is now available on the App Store and it's better than ever in its post Google Reader state.
We're big fans of the Iron Man series of films here at Redmond Pie, and we're going to go out on a limb and guess that you probably are, too. The movies always do extremely well at the Box Office, and home format sales tend to be pretty great too. That's why Marvel said they were launching a JARVIS-inspired iOS app not long ago along with the launch of Iron Man 3 movie on iTunes, and that app is now live on the App Store.
Apple giveth with one hand, and taketh away with another. We may have been treated to not just one, but two new iPhones within minutes of each other yesterday, but that hasn't stopped Apple from wielding the axe on one of our favorite and yet least used iOS apps - Cards for iPhone.
