The iPad Air 2 packs an impressive amount of computing power in a device that’s barely as thick as this month’s issue of The New Yorker, it is also the most connected tablet, and one of the fastest Internet and LTE data devices available today.

MultiCam brings Lytro-like effects to iOS

MultiCam app for iOS 8 is bringing what Lytro has been doing with its cameras for a while: the ability to shoot now and focus later. What MultiCam does is it lets you choose focus points (up to 15) and exposure levels (up to four) for each photo. After you set that, tap the shutter and hold the device steady. It will take a series of shots with different exposures. You can see the image in the app’s gallery and adjust the exposure and focus there. You can then save that to your iPhone gallery. Make sure you delete it from MultiCam though because that’ll eat up storage.

The app now also lets you sort files and folders by name, date, or size in ascending or descending orders. And for those using the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, the OneDrive has been adjusted to accommodate the larger screens.
