Google for iOS updated with the ability to play GIFs in image search results

Google has updated its iOS app, bumping it to version 9.0 and brining a few new features, including some interesting ones such as the ability to play GIFs.
The updated app now lets you tap and play animated GIFs in image search results, something which is not only convenient but also saves you some time. In addition, you can now also add a photo or review for your favorite local places, as well as get map results right within the app whenever you search for an address.
The updated app is now available for download from the App Store. This comes just over a month after an update brought along a couple of new features - always-active OK Google and improved local search results - to the app.

Checkout the new time-lapse mode in iOS 8

Image
One of the new features in iOS 8 is time-lapse mode in the Camera app. For those who don’t know, time-lapse mode takes a series of photographs with a few second interval and in the end combines all the images into a video, which when played looks like a fast-forwarded video. It’s not something you’d use often but it’s a cool thing to have and definitely gives some cool results as we will see now. The following video was shot on an iPhone 5s running iOS 8 beta. There currently are no options regarding the time-lapse mode in typical Apple fashion and you just swipe left in the Camera app until you reach the time-lapse setting and then start recording.

YouTube for Android gets a design update

Not only this, the color scheme has also been reversed - the navigation bar in the updated app has white background with red-colored tab indicators. The order in which the tabs are arranged, however, remains the same. Via

iPhone 5c fails to make impact in China, 5s compensates

Image
The iPhone 5c isn't doing all that good in China. According to CTechCN , who first reported Apple's cutting iPhone 5c production , Apple is still reducing orders of the plastic iPhone. Foxconn's Zhengzhou factory, which once churned out 50 thousand units weekly is now down to 8 to 9 thousand. Protek, component manufacturer for iPhone 5c, has seen an order cut of 75%. Retailer Dixons reports 78.6% of iPhone sales come from the premier 5s and just 21.4% are due to the iPhone 5c. The smartphone's price is also falling on retailer Taobao, which imported units from Hong-Kong at prices between 3000 to 3500 Chinese Yuan a month ago, now down to between 2500 to 3000 (around $400 to $500). Some retailers are reportedly selling their iPhone 5c units at a loss just to clear stock. Still there's no threat to Apple's financial health in hindsight as the iPhone 5s is selling handsomely. The question is whether Apple will keep making plastic iPhones wi...
