Apple announced upgrades to a number of its apps to coincide with the iPhone 5 launch, primarily to make the most of its enlarged screen.
One app that entrepreneurs may be keen on is iPhoto, which allows you to browse, edit and share your photos.
Although the iPhone 5 has the same 8-Megapixel camera as its 4S predecessor, it has a new lense and low light functionality to take sharper pictures, making it a handy tool if you want to take pictures of products, people or other things that customers or clients may want to see and share.
The app allows you to edit pictures so you can remove blemishes and ‘red eye’, as well as change colour brightness and contrast. The system is well integrated with Facebook and Twitter and even allows you to create cards with photos within them.
Price: Free
The rise in payments taken via mobile phone is big – and growing – business worldwide, as evidenced by the huge capital raise by US venture Square this week that values it at $3.25 billion.
iCC Pay is a little different from Square, which provides a device to sit on top of your smartphone that you can use to swipe customer credit cards.
By contrast, iCC Pay allows you to take funds via the screen through payment gateways SecurePay, eWAY and DPS PaymentExpress.
You then add the details of the card into the system or take a customer signature via the touch screen. iCC Pay says it is the first iPhone app to specifically support Australian payment gateways and the Australian dollar currency.
Plus, it recently dropped the app’s price from $43 to a smidge under $9.50.
