Apple showcases third-party apps on iPhone 5
Real Racing 3Game publisher EA also hit the stage today to show off the latest installment of its popular racing series. On the iPhone 5, Real Racing 3 appears to have console-quality graphics and an impressively smooth frame rate. With dynamic reflections and working rear-view mirrors, there is also an added dimension of realism that I haven't seen on any other mobile racing titles. But the biggest feature we saw was the time-shifted multiplayer mode. This allows players to challenge friends through Apple's Game Center and play against them later. James Martin/CNETOpenTable, CNNApple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller also gave us a look at updated apps for CNN and restaurant reservation service OpenTable. While we didn't see any mind-blowing new features here, we did see that both had been updated for the iPhone 5's 4-inch Retina Display. We also found out that those third-party apps that haven't yet been updated will show up centered, with black borders on the sides (or top and bottom).James Martin/CNETJames Martin/CNETAlso worth mentioning is the new Google-made YouTube app. While it wasn't demonstrated at today's event, its release yesterday is still big news. Google undoubtedly pushed the app out in anticipation of the new iPhone 5 and iOS 6, as the latter will be the first of Apple's mobile operating systems to ship without an Apple-made YouTube interface preinstalled.
