Apps that fall into the Health and Fitness, Medical or Lifestyle categories are always going to be some of the most popular options available on the App Store at the turn of the year. The beginning of January always seems to mark the time when people want to get their mind and body in shape and start the new year with a push towards physical fitness and improving their overall health. The runtastic Heart Rate PRO app may not offer any insight into healthy living or provide any insightful diet tips, but it does allow users to accurately measure their current resting and working rates simply by covering the rear camera lens with their finger.
Even though the iPhone 5 has only hit shelves a few months ago, Apple is for sure already looking a few generations ahead and getting ready to introduce the next iPhone model. We likely won’t hear a word from the Cupertino company for some long months, but it’s never too soon to start speculating.
The beginning of the new year is never really the best time to stop and take a hard look at the weather. There isn't a great deal we can do about the external conditions, so we will just have to let nature run her course but the latest weather app to hit the store - called Take Weather - is one of the best looking and feature rich ways of seeing what mother nature has in store for us no matter where we are located.

With three months having passed since the release of the iPhone 5, we've just about reached a period we can deem acceptable to begin talking of its successor. The rumors have gathered a great deal of this past week, with various analysts chiming into the argument with predictions of multiple color configurations and multiple screen sizes. Sticking with the theme of display alterations, the latest whispers suggest Apple will scrap the recently-implemented in-cell touch technology instead favoring a new “touch-on-display” technology created by Chimei Innolux.
An increasing number of iOS 6 users have been experiencing difficulties with the automatic scheduling feature of Do Not Disturb that was released as part of the latest iteration of iOS. Users have been noticing that Do Not Disturb was not automatically disabling itself as per the scheduling instructions, something on which Apple has been quick to react to and issued a support article on their official support website.
The biggest names in the financial industry tend to have no qualms with delivering projection where Apple is concerned, which is, I suppose, only natural given the Cupertino's status as the most valuable company. Corroborating predictions made by Jeffries analyst Peter Misek last month, in which he indicated 6-8 different color options with the next-generation iPhone, Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White also thinks Apple may offer different screen sizes of its iconic handset.
Apple's iOS mobile operating system is revered in the mobile industry, and there's little doubting its reputation as one of the smoothest out there.

With Jony Ive now at the helm, the iPhone and iPad community have high hopes, and some have already thrown some ideas of their own into the mix. YouTuber BlogB13 is one such individual, and has quite wonderfully recreated key elements of iOS, including revamped Notifications, Social Hub and an all-new multitasking concept.
The iPhone 5 and iOS 6 may only be three months old, but as we know, companies tend to get straight to work on the successor to any new release. So it should come as no surprise, then, to learn that developers have spotted signs of a handset named ‘iPhone6,1′ running on iOS 7, and according to the developers whom spotted the activity, this is the first time the new iPhone has shown any trace of existence.
