Amazon has increased Prime Membership from $79 to $99 in the US. The price hike was attributed to increase in fuel and transportation cost. Amazon still offers 30-day Prime trial.
Amazon Prime includes:
iOS 7.1 now reminds users they have 15 minutes to make In-App Purchases without having to enter their passwords.
You can now make additional purchases in any app for the next 15 minutes without reentering your password. To change this, tap Settings and go to Restrictions.”
Earlier in January, 2014 Apple agrees to pay $32.5 Millions in refunds with regard to App Store In-App Purchase lawsuit.
Ookla Speedtest.net is now optimized for iPad. It offers an In-App Purchase to permanently remove the advertising; which I did purchase.
What’s New in Version 3.2.0
- Universal app supporting iPhone, iPod touch and iPad (which includes landscape mode)
- Speedometer now adjusts dynamically for high speed connections
- Improved server selection user interface
- Many performance optimizations and bug fixes
In case you don’t know it has one awesome easter egg.
(After a test, swipe down the speedometer. Each swipe will reveal the story.)
One tiny thing that Apple iOS team did not care about is the “Disable Background App Refresh” button. They could set the text button in two lines, but they won’t.
@JonyIveParody certainly took notice back in September 2013.
It looks even uglier more beautiful when “Button Shapes” is turned on.
Nice job, iOS Team!
