The first batch of iPhone 5 units have been plagued with the purple lens flare issue while taking photos with the embedded rear-facing camera, which has left a lot of users of disgruntled. The manufacturers of the camHoodie iPhone 5 case are hoping to capitalize on the issue with the release of their product which hopes to minimize the purple hazing significantly.
Last month was undoubtedly huge for Apple with the initial public release of iOS 6 and the worldwide announcement and launch of the sixth-generation iPhone. All signals are suggesting that October will be equally as important for the Cupertino technology giants with the expected announcement and release of the purported iPad Mini. It may not be as big an announcement as all of that, but it looks like Apple Stores will also start to stock iPhone 5 cases later on this month.
Although nobody was necessarily anticipating it, SEGA America made a pretty significant revelation in the gaming world recently by announcing Crazy Taxi for iOS, and, honoring its word of an October release, has just pushed the classic title through to Apple's App Store.
Apple has built up a reputation over the last few years as a company that cares deeply about the quality of their products and have shown time and time again that internal changes can be made quickly to combat any production or quality issues that are within the company's control. If today's report is anything to go by then it looks as if Apple has thrown in new measures in place to ramp up quality control checks on their iPhone 5 production lines to ensure that the number of sixth-generation iPhones being shipped containing cosmetic damage is kept to an absolute minimum.
Although iOS 6 has generally been classed as a triumph and definitely represents evolution of the software, there are still some users who feel that Apple has regressed with certain aspects of the firmware. Long time iOS device owners are used to firing up the Maps app and getting information fed back from the trusted Google Maps service, something that is non-existent in a stock installation of iOS 6 thanks to the inclusion of Apple's own vector-based mapping app. Some people just don't like change, and if you happen to be one of those people then the ClassicMap app on the App Store might be what you need.
If big game creators ever join forces to produce some kind of hybrid mashup, then I undoubtedly want to see Sonic the Hedgehog meet Super Mario, Master Chief from Halo running around Liberty City causing mayhem or see either Guile or Chun-Li coming up against the mean Samurai machine that is Tekken's Kunimitsu. Unfortunately, we aren't that lucky to be able to pick and choose certain elements from various games that we would like to play, but Capcom has taken the lead and created the crossover battle to beat them all.
Apps that allow users to quickly and efficiently edit photographs on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch have always been popular offerings in the App Store, and as of this week, there is a new pretender to the throne in the form of the Gridditor app from Tai Shimizu. Gridditor lives within the Photography section and allows users to quickly edit and organize photographs in an attractive interface that manages to throw up some excellent filter combinations.
If you've ever been interested in the stock market, but have found many of the readings and jargon difficult to grasp, then you're certainly not alone, and as well as offering up-to-date information around the clock, StockTouch for iOS aids to break things down for those feeling somewhat intimidated by your traditional stock apps.
Productivity apps are aplenty on the iOS App Store, with new apps being added daily to allow users to squeeze the most out of their days. Some of us are able to knuckle down and whizz through growing workloads while others need a more structured layout with the required tasks and chores being clearly defined for the day ahead. There are many different time management philosophies, but there is only one of which I'm aware of, and it is based on the methodologies of a former U.S. President.
It has been said numerous times in the past, but the best mobile software available on the App Store generally tends to be the creations that are simple to use, beautiful to look at and offer a solution to problem that has been faced by real device owners and users. Typic for iPhone and iPod touch has all three of those bases covered, and although it may not be a must-have app for every iOS device owner, it is definitely something which photography fans and those who love to edit photographs will want to have in their arsenal.
