iOS 8 opened up the iPhone camera API to developers, allowing them to take full advantage of all of the power hidden inside the very capable shooter. Even though the native iOS Camera app is pretty barebones, the new APIs have allowed third-party app makers to get creative with the iPhone camera. So far, a few apps have sprung forth that claim to give you a higher degree of manual control over the iPhone camera, but none have been able to impress so far. Either they were plagued by inconvenient controls, smallish sliders, or an incomplete feature set. Enter Camera+, with its version 6 update that has just been released to the iTunes App Store. The famous camera replacement app has just received a massive makeover, going full manual, and we’ll tell you what the fuss is all about right after the break.

For a good year or so now, it has been suggested that Apple would be coming through with a tablet larger and more powerful than the current flagship 9.7-inch model, and given the introduction of would-be rival products like the Microsoft Surface and Samsung's Galaxy Tab Pro line, the idea of a 12.9-inch iPad Pro seems even more plausible. Today, new information has emerged about the slate, with a report suggesting that the SoC powering the top-end slab will be a more robust, A8X chip.
Yesterday, Apple rolled out its very first mobile software update since iOS 8 first appeared a couple of weeks back. Therein, we were told, lied a number of fixes to early issues that had plagued some users, but unfortunately, iOS 8.0.1 did more harm than good. Many iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners were left with no cellular service whatsoever as well as a non-functioning Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and given the critical nature of these two features, Apple quickly decided to pull the update altogether. We already showed you how you could downgrade your firmware back to iOS 8.0 to regain service and use of Touch ID, and since, Apple has also advised users to do likewise.

Social media has been abuzz over the past 24 hours with reports that the iPhone 6 Plus has a bit of a problem, in that the aluminum shell appears to bend while in users' pockets with apparently very little force being applied. The controversy has sparked a fierce debate on Twitter, and while some believe that Apple's own design is at fault, others are of the opinion that if you sit on your device or place it in a precarious position, then you're basically asking for trouble. Apple has yet to make a comment, and given that the scale of the issue doesn't seem to be widespread, there's no telling whether the company will release a statement on the matter, but for the sake of entertainment / argument, one YouTuber has also carried out the 'bend test' on a Samsung Galaxy S4.

But luckily, there’s a fix for those who have updated to iOS 8.0.1 and are left with a $650+ paperweight.
