The brains behind Apple’s highly coveted iPhone 6 and accompanying phablet have excelled themselves in terms of design strategy, as the brand looks to dominate the smartphone market and compete directly with the Samsung Galaxy range. Early reports indicate that the iPhone 6 is set to emerge as the consumers’ mobile handset of choice during the final financial quarter of 2014, meaning that Apple should enjoy the lion’s share of Christmas sales and consolidate and already prominent market position.
5 Top iPhone 6 Apps for Users
At the heart of Apple’s success is its focus on developing technology and mobile applications, with some of the best and most affordable tools accessible through the new iOS platform. Let’s take a look at the top 5 in the current marketplace: –
- Slotomania
Online gaming is one of the fastest growing growth markets in the whole of Great Britain, and the iPhone 6 designers have been keen to tap into this market space. The rise of the slot machine app has been particularly strong, and Slotomania is an innovative tool that connects iPhone users to a fun, thrilling and interactive entertainment experience. Immediately accessible and free to access, it is the most popular app of its kind and a leading light in the online gaming world.
- Google Maps
While this may seem like an obvious inclusion, it is only fair that the ingenious and accurate Google Maps application is given the credit that it deserves. Constantly updated to provide the most accurate information and coordinates imaginable, it locates addresses, delivers actionable directions and even identifies logistical issues such as traffic or a lack of walkways. It even includes detailed cycle routes, while its real time nature makes it the number one travel app for global iPhone users.
- HealthTap
A predominantly free app that drives revenue through optional tiers and in-purchases, it is a unique tool that enables users to ask medical professionals specific questions that relate to their physical or mental condition. So if you are embarrassed or unable to visit your local doctor but remain concerned about a particular set of symptoms that you are experiencing, this app provides an accessible and confidential forum in which you can seek advice.
Representing the number one professional networking resource in the world, the free LinkedIn app for the iPhone 6 brings a world of networking and professional contacts to a mobile audience. Whether you are looking for a new role of employment or aim to network aggressively with industry contacts, this app is hugely productive and enables you to drive your career and remain that the very top of your professional game.
- Snapseed
Distinguished as the Editors’ Choice among iPhone camera apps by PC magazine, Snapseed boasts unique and non-destructive editing capabilities that protect the integrity of original images. There is also a powerful photo correction feature, so that you can optimise all images without distorting the initial graphics. Essentially the only iPhone 6 or mobile application that comes close to replicating the effectiveness of desktop editors, it is a must-have tool for all snap-happy users!
