There’s little doubt that, in its current state, multitasking in iOS is very limited in terms of functionality. In fact, it’s about as one-dimensional a feature as any within the entire operating system, and with  iOS 7  now well and truly on the horizon, it is something concept makers have really focused their attentions on in recent weeks.  Ran Avni  is yet another designer with fresh ideas of how iOS multitasking should play out in the future, delivering a rather intriguing concept which sees windows for different apps form a card-like UI. As you will see at the beginning of the brief video clip detailing the concept, each app has its own card in what appears to be a greatly expanded version of the popular  Auxo for iPhone jailbreak tweak, and also, takes a lot of design queues from the famous  Multifl0w for iPhone tweak .

Facebook Messenger for iPhone has been updated today with one of our favorite features – Stickers – along with a bunch of other improvements.

The Asian market is very important for Apple’s future business, and although Apple Maps has been subject to much scrutiny since arriving in September, the Japanese version has hitherto lacked even some of the more basic navigation features. That’s all changed with iOS 6.1.3 though, and as well as the implementation of turn-by-turn and better optimization of directions to favor highways over country lanes, Maps in Japan has also added a bunch of 3D landmarks. This is in addition to the  improvements made to the Maps  from server-side last week.
