We're all for paying for great apps, but there's no denying that there are few finer things in smartphone-owning life than getting a real gem of an app for free, especially when it would usually cost you money. Sometimes there really is such a thing as a free lunch, no matter what the naysayers have to say.
If you just can't wait until the expected September iPhone 6 release, then there is one option that you may not have already considered. With Apple's unannounced new flagship just two months or so away, Chinese clone makers have already managed to get their iPhone 6 knockoffs out the door, as reported by the French site.
Although many new smartphones offer waterproofing as standard, they're not of a standard whereby they could be taken deep underwater for the purpose of, say, snapping photos or capturing videos. However, despite the fact that the Apple iPhone lags behind the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 in the waterproofing stakes, one third-party accessory maker has come through with a waterproof case that, incredibly, remains semi-functional even when the user is some 300ft below the surface.
Any mobile gadget looking to attain FCC certification must, at this moment in time, have certain details branded onto the product itself, stating that said device has indeed been approved.

The iPhone 6 parts leaks are arriving thick and fast, and having seen a fair bit of the alleged sapphire glass front cover for Apple's upcoming handset over the last couple of days, we've now got what appears to be a legitimate leak of the device's front frame.

It seems almost certain that the next-gen iPhone's front panel will be comprised of sapphire glass, with Apple apparently looking strengthen up a feature prone to shattering.

Although the FIFA World Cup has almost drawn its conclusion now what with Germany and Argentina battling out the finale this weekend, this hasn't stopped the recent wave of football / soccer-related apps. In fact, given that fans in Europe and across much or the footballing world are just a couple of weeks away from the commencement of the new season, perhaps this is the best time for these apps to begin appearing, and Nike has jumped right in by releasing a new app for Android and iOS providing fans of The Beautiful Game with a one-stop source for content and social interaction.
