Yahoo unveils new Flickr app for iPad

Yahoo-owned Flickr used to only be available on iPhones on iOS operating system. Now, it has a new iPad app that can support the Retina display of the old iPad Air and iPad mini as well as the new iPad mini and iPad Air 2. However, Flickr 3.2 app will only work with iOS 8. What you will get is the ability to see “up to 3,000,000 pixels per photo.” That number is roughly the amount of pixels on the devices’ 2048 x 1056 screens. You can view your Flickr feed in landscape and portrait, take photos with your iPad, and add live filters and histogram to your shots.

Apple today announced the highly anticipated iPad mini with Retina Display. It is keeping last year's mini as an entry-level model for $319.99.

The new iPads feature the powerful and power-efficient Apple-designed A7 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, ultrafast wireless with faster built-in Wi-Fi and expanded LTE cellular connectivity, and the newly-designed iOS 7. While the Retina Display was expected (although some pundits expected supply to be sparse given the smaller Retina Display) no one thought Apple would outfit the smaller iPad with the latest A7 processors.
