App Store Birthday Deals, iPad 5 Coming in September?

Can you believe it? It’s been 5 years since Apple got the iTunes App Store going. The company and its products have come a long way over all these years. Apple does tend to do something special for these types of occasions. It has already sent a poster to the press about 5 years of the App Store. The poster shows the amount of money Apple has paid out to developers. It just so happens that many top iOS apps are available for free today. Here are a few ones worth checking out:

• Traktor DJ for iPhone
• Infinity Blade II
• BadLand
• Where’s My Water?

Plenty of more developers might offer their apps for free or a discount for this special occasion. If you have been keeping up with app deal and discount sites, now is the time to grab some of these limited-time deals.

The rest of this year is going to be very exciting for Apple fans. The company is expected to release new iPhones, iPads, and even an iWatch later this year. Digitimes is now reporting that the fifth-generation 9.7 inch iPad will be available in September:

In addition to the Retina Display, the new tablet features a slimmer bezel design to allow a bigger viewing area, while the number of LED tubes used for the device has been reduced from two to one, and battery longevity is also improved,

We all expected Apple to introduce an iPad mini 2 with Retina display this year. But that might not happen as some rumors are suggesting. The product’s release may be delayed to the end of the fourth quarter though.
