500px iOS app updated to finally allow you to upload photos

500px users will be happy to hear that the photo-sharing service has updated its iOS client today, bringing the app to version 2.5. The update only includes one feature, but it's a huge one: you can now use the mobile app to upload photos.

Up until now, you could only upload photos to 500px via the web—a major gripe with current users and big barrier-to-entry for potential users in an Instagram-era where most people take, edit and upload photos on their mobile devices...

Alleged iPhone 6 prototype shown off in new images [update: it’s fake]

A batch of new images surfaced online this afternoon, purportedly showing an authentic iPhone 6 prototype. The photos are believed to have originated from China, and they show the front and back of what appears to be a larger handset designed by the Cupertino company.

It's impossible to know if these are legitimate iPhone 6 parts—one thing that immediately stands out is that the back appears to show FCC markers, somewhat odd for a prototype—but even if the photos are fake, they do give a good idea of what a larger iPhone could look like...

Arco brings an animated “now-playing” indicator to iOS 7

Arco is a jailbreak tweak that's been recently updated to support iOS 7. It's from the minds of the dynamic duo behind Auxo—my favorite jailbreak tweak—but it's simpler and smaller in scope.

Though it isn't on the same level of Auxo, Arco is a good tweak in its own right. It brings a useful animated now-playing indicator to the iOS 7 status bar. Have a look at our video walkthrough inside for more details on what makes Arco such a special release.

Box It! is a relaxing but challenging puzzle game

Despite the bigger screen, iPhone 6 could be lighter than 5s

With a 4.7-inch and a massive 5.5-inch iPhone versions reportedly in the pipeline, you'd expect both new iPhones to be a tad heavier than the current-gen four-inch iPhone 5s, simply due to a larger and thereby heavier enclosure/screen assembly.

Not so fast.

According to a new report, Apple's engineers are scrambling to slim down next-generation iPhones by switching to a lighter backlight module and possibly using a lighter device frame, too...

VSCO Cam 3.0 lets you follow people, brings out a myriad of refinements

VSCO Cam should be on every iPhone photography fan's Home screen. The software offers a variety of advanced features making it easy to edit, crop and filter your snaps on the go.

Our own Lory Gil wrote in her review last summer that VSCO Cam for the iPhone and iPod touch is worth downloading, even more so considering that a set of filters included in the free download (with more available via in-app purchases) is enough to keep averages users occupied for some time.

VSCO Cam version 3.0, now available in the App Store, adds a bunch of new features aimed at improving your mobile photography experience. Plus, it wants to become your next Instagram by including the ability to follow individual profiles, a novel feature for a camera phone app and the number one request from users...
