Apple has released an update to its Find my iPhone app that features a new design for iOS 7. Nothing else has been updated, just the design. However, it comes following an unfortunate issue where Apple inadvertently uploaded a version that left users unable to sign in unless they had a developer account — it was released soon after iOS 7 came out. It was quickly resolved....

Along with the major updates to headline apps such as the iWork and iLife suites, Apple has refreshed some of its other offerings with designs in line with iOS 7. Find My iPhone, iTunes Movie Trailers, and Podcasts have all been updated with new icons and cleaner UIs; the new Podcasts app in particular sees a total overhaul following a slight tweak to the excessively literal visual metaphors found in the original release....

Apple’s Find My iPhone led San Francisco police on a 90MPH car chase last night which ultimately led to the arrest of three suspected armed robbers. My normally sleepy neighborhood in San Francisco has been plagued recently with a string of violent and scary armed street robberies. For the last week or so, a gang of violent perps have been robbing people of gadgets like their iPhones at gunpoint. But last night, an iPhone hit them back.

The iPhone, land of endless choice. First, you’ll want to grab Twitter, Kindle, Facebook, Find My iPhone, Shazam (it's still a magical thing), and Apple’s Remote app for controlling iTunes remotely. But then you get to the hard questions. Which to-do app to get? Which map alternative is worth downloading over Apple’s default? Is there a weather app that offers the perfect balance of hourly updates and animated doppler imagery? What are the best games to get to avoid the family during the inevitable...

Apple today updated its Find My iPhone utility with driving directions, providing users on the hunt for a lost iOS device or Mac with an exact route to its last known location. Rather than integrating navigation directly within the Find My iPhone app, Apple is letting its default iOS Maps app handle all direction duties.

Do you lose things? Despite being meticulous about personal hygiene and a snappy dresser, I tend to misplace things. I blame it on bad parenting, of course. But, we all lose our personal items — and as much as it pains us — our gadgets are often the victims. Smartphones, especially iPhones, have been known to surreptitiously slip out of pockets at inappropriate times. Unfortunately, unlike our vehicles, most gadgets do not have panic buttons, or remote key access — although there are some tracking apps ...

Was it really only last June that Apple introduced the Find My iPhone feature? Since then it's stopped thieves and more than paid for itself. Now there's an iPhone app (for installing on iPhones other than your own, obviously). It's been added to the App Store just today for iOS 3.1.3 and higher products, and is free (though you will need to have a MobileMe account, which costs $99 each year—or check out the free 60 day trial). The idea is to strike a deal with friends/family who have iPhones/iPads/...

Apple has been on a kick releasing new applications for its iOS devices over the past few weeks. Now, coinciding with a redesigned MobileMe, Apple has released the native Find My iPhone app for both the iPhone and the iPad.
