Not only did Apple announce two new iPhones and an Apple Watch this week, but it set a pre-order sales record and helped U2's first studio album in five years reach 2 million downloads on iTunes. While this is all good news for Apple fans it also means everything else came to a crawl including App Store releases while developers wait for the release of iOS 8 on September 17. It is also unknown if and when iOS 8 will be jailbroken so Cydia releases may also start to slow down too.
Two quick notes before we get to this week's releases, accessory makers are already shipping iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus cases, and the MOGA Bluetooth Rebel MFi controller will support the 6 and 6 Plus. It will be available on September 17th and pre-orders are currently being accepted.
Here are this week's games, apps and jailbreak tweaks released to the App Store and Cydia through 09/07/14 to 09/13/14. Apple's Free App of the Week is Bicolor. The app will be free on the Apple App Store until 09/18/14.
