If you've ever wanted to buy your favorite beverage using just your iPhone then you may be a step close to that reality after new reports appeared earlier that have Apple and major payment firms doing deals to bring mobile payments to iOS.
The fact that all iOS apps need to be approved by Apple in order to make their way into the App Store is both a blessing and a curse for the platform, but nobody can deny that it, most of the time at least, guarantees at least some sort of minimum design quality. It also means that developers often need to jump through hoops in order to get their hard work in front of those that they hope will download it.
It's that time again folks. You know, the time when we let you in on which paid-for apps have gone free, usually for a limited time while hopefully not just saving you some money, but also giving you the opportunity to pick up some apps that you were on the fence about when they had a dollar sign beside them.
The iPhone camera is the most popular camera on the planet as of now, and it’s not just something that cannot be backed up by facts; Flickr statistics clearly support this notion. It makes sense, too - when the original iPhone was launched back in 2007, the image quality was far superior to the competition despite being a fixed-focus, measly 2 megapixel shooter. Now we’re close to the iPhone 6’s launch, and the current flagship, the iPhone 5s, has a camera that’s come a long way since. It produces really good images, and it’s always with you in your pocket, making it camera of choice.
New rumors point to the new iPhone 6 featuring a resolution bump over its predecessors to go along with the expected larger screen(s).
Apple's iPhone 6 is well on the way. Set to be announced at the Flint Center on Apple's Cupertino campus in just 12 days' time, we now know quite a bit about the forthcoming handset. For example, we're aware that it will pack a vastly improved (albeit still dual-core) A8 processor and Near-Field Communication (or NFC) - something that Apple has stood back and allowed Android / Windows Phone vendors to indulge in unchallenged. A new leak today offers some high-quality snaps purported to depict the iPhone 6's logic board, and therein, we get a glimpse of the new A8 SoC as well as the NFC component.
The weekend is here, folks, and whether you're looking to be productive or simply kick back and enjoy some of the exciting titles that the App Store has to offer, then, well… there's an app (or game) for that! We've a nice assortment of usually paid content just gone free for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users, so join us after the jump for the full low-down.
After Yo!, the one-word app that simply let you say "Yo!" to your buddies, another developer has come through with something equally simplistic. Emojli, as you might imagine, is an IM app that only permits you to send emojis. But given what we're seeing on Twitter, Facebook et al on a daily basis, it would seem, for the most part, that instant messaging has already become an emoji-only experience.
For the most part, the purported design of the iPhone 6 has been lauded by commentators, but conversely, the antenna breaks to the rear side of the device have been labeled as ugly. Certainly, they're not the most stylish of components, even if necessary to the overall running of the device, but a new leak of what is claimed to be a finished production model of the Space Gray iPhone 6 rear shell suggests that the lines mightn't be as unsightly as some had feared.
It's a rumor that crops up every year and has Apple supposedly bringing NFC support to whatever iPhone it is working on at the time. This year has been no different, but with perhaps a little more to it this time around. If you've been hopeful of an NFC equipped iPhone in the past, then you may be in luck.
