Apple has broadened the horizons of its native mapping service by bringing animated 3D imaging to Maps. Beginning in London with landmarks like Big Ben and the London Eye, it adds a nice, real-time feel to browsing in three dimensions, and in due course, should reach other major cities and iconic structures across the world.

There has rarely been so many different versions of iOS in use at once as there are today. Most current iPhones and iPads are running iOS 8.1.3 download, but with a fifth beta of iOS 8.2 in the wild and iOS 8.3 beta 2 arriving just a couple of days ago, lots of people are wondering which build offers the best battery life.
New numbers show Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are steadily taking market share away from Android devices. It's believed the two new iPhones are the reason for iOS growing significantly faster than Google's Android, with the latter even seeing a reduction in market share during quarter four of 2014 according to new figures from an analytic firm.
Yesterday, Apple unleashed iOS 8.3 beta 2 to developers, and with it, we got further insight into plans to expand the range of emoji. One thing that most software updates seek improve is speed and general performance on the older supported devices, which, in this case, would be the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5. With this in mind, tests have been carried out on both handsets pitting the new beta against the latest public release that is iOS 8.1.3 download, and it does seem like iOS 8.3 will offer a generous improvement, particularly to those rocking older Apple mobile devices.
The Facebook Messenger app for iOS has just been updated, bringing with it the much lauded iOS 8 share extension bound to make our experience richer and more convenient. Head on after the jump for further details on this development along with that important download link for the app itself.
Pebble began as a Kickstarter project that exceeded all expectations, and even though many larger companies have brought forth their own smartwatch efforts, the company has doggedly stuck to its task and remained fairly relevant. Given its Kickstarter roots, it's fitting that the latest model, which Pebble began counting down to a few days back, should also begin its life on the crowd-funding site, and with a bunch of new features including - finally - a color display, those interested can snap up the wearable early and in doing so, save money on the eventual retail price.
Hugely popular jailbreak tweak Atom has been updated to support iOS 8, and it can be downloaded from Cydia today. More details can be found right here, after the jump.
Apple's iPhone has been a continued success story, with sales improving as each new version arrives. One model that does stick out a little is the iPhone 5c, which was the company's attempt at a more affordable handset, and although it has divided opinion, continues to retail alongside the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. In the run-up to last September, it was reckoned that colorful, plastic-clad 5c would be scrapped, but having been thrown out for a second run, it may well be here to stay. One concept maker seems to agree, and as such, has come through with some impressive renders of what the next version - should it ever manifest itself - may look like.
Following the release of iOS 8.3 beta 2 today, plenty of attention has turned to working out what differentiates this release from the first one. Beyond the usual bug fixes, a new set of emoji characters, and re-jigging of how everything hangs together deep inside iOS, one new feature has already gotten the attention of Siri users around the globe.
