New settings in iOS 7
The major changes in iOS 7 have been written about for a few months, but Dave Hamilton focused his attention on some lesser known settings that could be helpful to you.
Anand Lal Shimpi’s iPhone review
I don’t think there is anyone more qualified to do this type of high-end technical review.
John Gruber on the iPhone 5s, 5c
Two things that I thought were particularly interesting in John’s review: the part about innovation and the section on 64-bit. Definitely worth a read.

Review: iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s
Shortly after Apple’s iPhone event ended on September 10, I walked into a room to speak with Apple executives about the new devices. During that meeting, I was also given a green iPhone 5c and a gold iPhone 5s to review, both running iOS 7—I’ve been using those two phones for the last week.

PDFpen: the powerful, all-purpose PDF editing tool from Smile [Sponsor]
If you need to do anything with PDFs, you need PDFpen. You can add a signature, make changes, correct typos–and that’s only the beginning.
Got a scanned document? PDFpen includes OCR so you can convert that scan into text that can be searched, copied, and corrected. Concerned about sharing sensitive info such as tax ID numbers? PDFpen can perform redaction, removing the stuff you want to keep private. You can even export your PDFs to Microsoft Word format for sharing or editing.
Buy PDFpen for $60 in the Mac App Store or directly from Smile. If you need advanced features, such as auto form creation or document permission settings, get PDFpenPro. Find out more.
More useless features don’t make for a better smartphone, Samsung
Interesting article from Ross Rubin on how focusing can help a company more than throwing features into your product.
The iPhone 5c/5s crossover point
John Gruber:
One interesting note: the 5C and 5S have a price overlap at $199. At that price, you can get either a 32 GB 5C or a 16 GB 5S. For those who don’t care about technical specs, I think the $199 5C is going to win.
I agree with John on this. Generally, I feel the people that would have purchased a new iPhone anyway will get the 5s, but at this price point, you may see some people switch for the colors.
