The new iOS version, iOS 11, has been made available this week and despite the novelties and improvements, it is also synonymous with the disappearance of over 180.000 apps! Without diving into the technical considerations, which is only relevant to the developers, iOS 11 will no longer support 32-bit applications, which will be retired from the App Store sooner, rather than later. The developers will have to update their apps to 64-bits, but it seems most likely that those that haven\u2019t been updated in a while, will probably not be updated at all.<\/h4>\n

The 180.000 disappearing apps represent about 8% of all the iPhone applications and it\u2019s quasi certain that you have some of those. There is, however, a simple way to identify the 32-bit apps on your phone: go to \"Settings<\/strong>\", followed by \"General<\/strong>\", \"About<\/strong>\" and, finally \"Applications<\/strong>\". Prepare to be shocked and get out the Kleenex!<\/p>\n

When I heard about this, I immediately whipped out my iPhone and it turns out I have about 60 apps that won\u2019t function with iOS 11. I have to admit that I haven\u2019t used any of these 32-bit apps in ages; that said I had a bit of a shock when I came across Incredibooth<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"IncrediBooth-2017-banner-01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Incredibooth<\/strong> is a product, launched by Hipstamatic<\/strong> in 2010, that aimed at putting the glamour back into the humble photo booth. The principle is simple: you choose a \"booth\", you sit in front of your iPhone, you push the button and there you go; the app takes 4 pictures in a row, just like the ones you get at the real photo booth. It\u2019s the same principle as all the other Hipstamatic<\/strong> apps: each \"booth\" boasts its own effects, some of which are quite similar to the Classic<\/strong> edition. It\u2019s as funny as it is fun!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
