When the App Store first launched in 2008, it made a handful of developers extremely wealthy. Steve Demeter, for example, the creator of Trism, reportedly earned some $300,000 within a few months of the Store going live.
But since then, we haven't really heard much in the way of major developer success — other than high-profile acquisitions, and yet the dream of becoming a millionaire overnight with a hit app lives on. And this is why...
There has been a lot of talk about Apple using new in-cell display panels in its next smartphone. The technology is said to make screens thinner, allowing for a much slimmer handset.
But as it turns out, the tech might end up causing next-gen iPhone supply shortages. According to a new report, in-cell screens are causing "unforeseen challenges" for manufacturers...
We're in the middle of an election year here in the US, and come November, we will have a new President. But until then, we will be forced to endure countless hours of debates, political TV ads and who knows what else.
Luckily, the folks over at Chair — the team behind the popular Infinity Blade franchise — just released a game to help us cope with all of the stress of the election. It's called VOTE!!!, and it's actually pretty fun...
Keri Racing, from Neowiz Internet (the same company that brought us London 2012, the official iOS game of the Olympics), takes on the hottest social network game hits by combining multiple genres in one fun new universe. Whether you’re a solo player or prefer to help friends and compete with them, Keri Racing has you covered.

But the main goal here is to dominate the racing circuit by raising and racing your pet keris...
Apple's suppliers must be speeding up production on next-gen iPhone parts, because the component leaks are becoming more and more frequent. Just a few days ago we were looking at the handset's dock assembly and rear casing, and now this.
A new video has surfaced tonight, which compares several parts from Apple's next-generation smartphone to their iPhone 4S counterparts. The clip gives a close-up look at the new iPhone's front panel, dock connector and other internal pieces...
It's extremely likely that the two-tone back panels we've been seeing over the past few months are indicative of what we'll see on Apple's next smartphone. And some folks aren't very happy about that.
But for those of you who like the design, you don't have to wait until next month to enjoy it. A new 'iPhone 5' mod kit has surfaced that allows you to convert your iPhone 4/4S into Apple's next-gen handset...
We've heard several reports over the past few months that Apple is using a new, thinner display in its next iPhone. The tech is called in-cell, and will help slim down the handset.
Interestingly enough, LG Display's CEO Han Sang-beom announced today that his company has just started mass-producing a new line of thinner, smartphone display panels...
Even if this tweak turned out to be a dud, you have to give respect where respect is due when it comes to its clever name. ScrollThindicator, as its title ever-so slyly alludes to, is a new jailbreak tweak that trims the fat off of iOS' scroll bars.
True, there's no real functionality to be gained from using ScrollThindicator, but it is an aesthetic change that many might enjoy. Take a gander at our hands-on video inside for brief overview of how it looks.
Allow me to introduce you fine folks to ProgressPercent. It's a new jailbreak tweak that displays a percentage indicator under the icon of the current app you're downloading, giving you a better idea of its status.
The tweak is invisible. Once you've installed it, you won't know it's there unless you are downloading an application, or pop into the Settings app. There's just one option here, and that's to disable it...

When you have the marketing history that Apple does, you don't anticipate many mistakes. The company has a long list of successful TV spots, such as the popular "I'm a Mac" campaign.
But obviously, Apple feels it messed up on its latest string of Mac 'Genius' commercials. Because it just pulled the three month-old ads from both its website, and its YouTube channel...
Over the past few weeks, we've seen an increase in iPhone 5 part leaks — specifically the dock connector/headphone jack assembly. The components have echoed previous reports that the next-gen iPhone would have a smaller dock connector.
Adding to the evidence is a new photo of a USB charging/sync cable, which popped up online this afternoon. With its 8-9 pin end matching up with the previous parts we've seen, it's believed the cable belongs to Apple's new smartphone....
