Bogus Pokemon Yellow app tops iTunes app charts
Apple for the most part has been pretty good with security when it comes to apps they allow onto their iTunes App Store, however there are occasions when a doozy slips past them and we have to wonder if the person in charge was sleeping at their desk when that happens. While we can’t actually confirm the app this time round ourselves, it seems that the ever popular Pokemon Yellow has made its way into the iTunes App Store, a bogus version at least.
Now as most of you guys know, Nintendo has claimed they have no interest in making games for mobile devices, which is why we guess this bogus version of Pokemon Yellow managed to reach number 2 in the iTunes Paid Apps chart. Unfortunately based on the reviews and feedback, the app crashes upon reaching the title screen. The developer, QEAB, has issued a statement:
“If you are experiencing issues with Pokémon Yellow, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience,” says the company’s website. “Thanks for your patience while we thoroughly investigate this issue. We are working on a new build and we anticipate this will be completed soon, which should overcome the issue. Again, apologies for the inconvenience.”
So are they legit, or is this just a scam to make some quick money? Either way if you were planning on getting your hands on the game, it looks like the game has since been removed from the app store. We’re not sure if it was by choice or if was done by Apple, but if you were unfortunate enough to have bought the game, you will be able to get a refund through Apple’s customer service desk.
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
