Thinking about throwing yourself back on that couch this weekend and hunting for some quality iOS apps on the App Store? As always, we have your weekend dose of paid apps gone free covered right here.
The much-awaited iOS 8.3 jailbreak is well and truly here. After a few updates and fixes by TaiG, the latest release is much more stable now than it was when initially released, with users the world over jailbreaking to see what the fuss is about, while others doing it because they know what the advantage is of having a liberated iPhone or iPad. Now the big question we're asking today is: did you jailbreak your iPhone or iPad on iOS 8.3 with TaiG?
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have undoubtedly been a huge success for Apple. After making the decision to break away from a 4-inch display and move into "phablet" territory with the iPhone 6 Plus, it's difficult to imagine how the Cupertino giant could ever go back to producing smaller screen smartphones. Now, after breaking records and basking in the glory of the iPhone 6, it appears that the time has come to usher in the next-generation iPhone, which, according to Bloomberg, is already in the process of being manufactured at various supply plants.

With iOS 8, Apple, for the first time, allowed third-party keyboards on its platform that worked system-wide, not just within specific apps. In the new days of this freedom, we saw almost all major players from the Android ecosystem pop up on the iTunes App Store as well, and then (naturally) the trend dwindled down. Today, however, we see somewhat of a revival, with Disney releasing its 'Disney Gif' custom keyboard for iPhone and iPad, which allows sharing of Disney and Pixar themed GIFs directly from the keyboard into the app of your choice.

As part of Apple's continuing trend of selecting one commercial third-party app to make free as the 'App of the Week,' the Cupertino giant has given the honor to 'Halftone 2 - Comic Book Creator' this week. The app has been on the App Store for quite some time and has already been named as one of the best apps of 2013 by Apple as well as being featured regularly as an App Store Editor's Choice. Apple also featured the title as a showcase app to show off the screen of the iPhone 6 in Apple Retail Stores. If that level of love for the app wasn't enough, it's now sitting pride of place on the front page of the App Store.
The introduction of iOS 9 brought with it a number of feature additions and much-longed for functionality improvements. Rather than reinventing the wheel and attempting to serve up a whole new set of core features, iOS 9 exists as more of a stepping stone for what is to come and attempts to stabilize its core offering with a number of stability improvements that should make the whole experience more pleasurable across all devices. iOS 9 does however, introduce one very impressive little feature that should make a difference to a lot of users - Low Power Mode, which is designed to save battery life by reducing the performance of the device and preventing consistent background activity.
