<p>Apple has rolled out a new section on the App Store called "
Indie Game Showcase." It's dedicated to spotlighting stunning games by independent iOS developers. As Apple describes the new section:</p>
<p>Often made up of just a few dedicated members, independent studios prove that what really matters is the size of your dream. In each Indie Game Showcase, we celebrate a popular game and its creative team, highlighting the developer's titles along with their favorite games from other studios.</p>
<p>The move will no doubt be a welcome one for many independent developers who often feel that it's hard to compete against the might of bigger developers and the coverage -- and resulting spots on the top app charts -- they get.</p>
<p>The first game to be featured is
Device 6, and action-thriller from developer Simogo.</p>
<p>In other news:</p>
<ul>
<li>The
redesigned Starbucks iPhone app has been released. It has had an iOS 7 makeover and offers digital tipping plus the ability to review rewards from the dashboard.</li>
<li>Apple has released an update for
GarageBand which adds the option to export songs as an MP3.</li>
<li>Jony Ive is one of the 10 finalists for
The Drum Design Award. You can vote for him to win if you want.</li>
</ul>
