The 35 best iOS games of all time
Remember when the iPhone first came out and didn’t include support for third-party apps? Thankfully that changed in the summer of 2008, and while Apple was hardly the first smartphone maker to support third-party apps and games, it completely changed the mobile device landscape when it did so by way of a simple on-device portal. Today, the App Store is home to more than 1.36 million apps and games, and hundreds more are approved each day.
Turning our attention to games, we’ve seen some real gems come and go over the past six-plus years. But of the thousands upon thousands of games that have hit the app store, which ones can be considered the absolute best?

SHOCKER: It looks like Samsung found yet another way to copy Apple in the Galaxy S6
Samsung wasn’t shy when it copied many of Apple’s smartphone, tablet and even software designs as it rose to become the top vendor in the smartphone market. A series of high-profile lawsuits and a tremendous amount of media pressure then caused the South Korean company to pump the brakes a bit, and it stopped copying Apple so blatantly in its devices. Now, Samsung has seen its profits plummet in the past two quarters as attention turns away from its high-end phones toward the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and as pressure from Chinese phone makers mounts at the low end.
As we explained in a recent article, going back to copying Apple might be exactly what helps get Samsung back on track. And now, it looks like Samsung might have found yet another new way to copy Apple.

This is the best new Google Search feature we’ve seen in a long time
The Internet is a hypochondriac’s worst nightmare — or best friend, depending on how you look at it. In the age of the web, our first instinct is to search Google for answers to any and all questions. When we’re not feeling well, that extends to searching for clues as to what our symptoms might mean. And here, of course, is where a problem arises: Google’s search results are flooded with sites that do nothing but game search engines, and the information on those sites is often completely useless. So when you search for answers as to what ailment might be responsible for your toe ache, you might come across a website that tells you it’s bronchitis or hyperhidrosis.
Now, Google may finally have an answer to this problem.

FEATURED: 3 stunning iPhone 6 cases that are perfect for people who hate iPhone cases
I hate iPhone cases… but unfortunately, there’s really no choice with the iPhone 6. I’m not sure how Apple managed to make the aluminum on its iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus so incredibly slippery, but these two phones really are accidents waiting to happen. They’re both beautiful handsets though, so it’s a shame to cover them up with cases. But with Apple’s latest iPhones, there just isn’t much of a choice. You can either use a case or you can be angry when your phone slips out of your hand and breaks.
Since I am a big fan of design, I’ve spent a lot of time finding the best-looking iPhone 6 cases out there so as to not ruin the look of my iPhone. I’ve shared some great case options in the past but as great as they look, they still hide most of Apple’s iPhones when you put them on.
So now, I’ve come up with three great case options that cover up the least possible amount of Apple’s design, so they’re perfect for people who hate iPhone cases.
