Introducing our new weekly segment here at RazorianFly. Everything You Probably Missed.
This segment will be published every Sunday afternoon, and has been designed to sum up the past week in both new App Store releases and the latest Apple related news from the past 7 days. Enjoy!
This week was all about the iPhone 4 launch. On Thursday Apple’s 4th iteration of its iPhone product line hit store shelves in 5 countries including the US, UK, France, Germany and Japan.
