The iPhone has over the years since its first introduction, become an extremely popular holiday gift item to select and given its sales figures recorded in the recent past festive season not much has changed. All those proud new iPhone owners have become holders of a stylish status icon with its iOS9 widely acknowledged as one of the better operating systems for mobile devices; however, what makes iPhones truly worth owning is the brilliant apps that are available for download and installation from Apple’s jam-packed App Store.
The question most raised by new owners when considering applications as which ones are worth downloading, the following list should provide an inkling of knowledge and insight to be able to choose your own apps according to your own preferences. Many apps have already been adapted to interact in new ways via the new 3-D touch pressure sensitive screen featured on the iPhone 6S.
Google Maps, free on iPhone, was at one stage included on all iPhone devices, but in latter-day devices sadly replaced by Apple’s inferior navigation app, fortunately it is still available as a separate download. Google’s Maps app proved itself to be significantly more accurate than its proprietary Apple counterpart, which it can match and exceed feature for feature, offers greater interactivity, smoother & easier map manipulation, and a multitude of other benefits.
Google Translate is another free app for iPhone users, that remains a must have on any mobile device. It features support in excess of 30 languages, with translations presented in an impressively accurate delivery that exceeds the precision delivered by any other product currently on the market that offer similar design goals on mobile devices. It quickly proves itself to be unmissable when visiting websites in languages foreign to its user’s it will translate all written text on-the-fly. Users were needed often, but its usefulness far outweighs its relatively small footprint that takes a very little of the precious, limited space on mobile devices.
Weather Underground is a free app for iPhone users that far exceeds the capabilities of the standard proprietary app that come with iPhones. It succeeds simply because it remains focused on doing exactly what a weather app should. It clearly presents loads of hyper- local weather information on an extremely customisable yet user-friendly interface.
