Apps & Updates

Apple showed off a number of its own apps at last week’s iPhone 6 event to illustrate how the larger display phones can show content in new ways, specifically iPad-like two-column views in landscape mode.

Apple also encouraged developers to update their own apps to take advantage of the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays rather than relying on system scaling to blow up content made for 4-inch displays, and CNN’s news app for iPhone was the shining example of what third-party app makers can do.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is still a day away from delivery and store availability, but CNN’s iPhone 6-optimized app is out now and ready for use on the new devices tomorrow. As you can see, the new app is able to present the iPad-style two-column view in landscape mode on the iPhone 6 Plus.

Full change log here:

Updated design for iPhone 6
Improved landscape experience
Enhanced photo galleries
Minor bug fixes

CNN for iPhone is available for free on the App Store.
