Previously, Apple threw out some 5,000-odd iPhone apps out of the window because they were too risque and naughty in nature. Now they are rejecting iPhone apps that has “minimum user functionality”. According to TechCrunch, Apple does not want iPhone apps created that mimics something a web application can accomplish.

This concerns iPhone apps that are created with “templates” which can be gotten from software generation services, third party entities that created such app will be barred from doing so in the future. Or perhaps now, seeing how serious Apple is in cracking down on these sort of apps.

The reason behind this is because Apple wants to retain iPhone’s exclusivity, in other words they want people to use their iPhones due to its superiority over Web applications. In doing so, iPhone users will be able to accomplish objectives and tasks while fulfilling desires, which are previously not possible to do so over rival platforms such as Android. So if the iPhone gets over-populated with too many apps that mimics web content, the iPhone may not appear to be so exclusive after all.

In related news, Apple is now said to be working hand in hand with AppMakr to boost its range of iphone apps. AppMakr will help to add more features and functionality including offline user access.

Shortcuts are really handy to have when you want to save time and work, or play, efficiently. There are plenty of shortcuts for the iPhone that many have yet to discover. Here are some to get you started:


1. Grabbing screenshots with 2 buttons
I can’t tell you how lost I’d be without the PrtSc (Print screen) button my laptop. Similarly if you are using your iPhone but want to badly capture screenshots, you just need to press the home button AND the on/off button together. The best thing is that these images will be automatically saved to your camera doll.

2. Double click camera
Tap the home button twice in succession and you wll llbe able to bring up the camera quickly and efficiently, making sure that you won’t miss out on spontaneous photo ops!

3. Double tap Safari
Some users are not really aware that you can tap Safari twice in order to zoom in and out of images as well as text. After a while, pinching the screen gets really old and tapping seems so much cooler :)
