It’s always an exciting day when a new iPhone launches.  Some trends around iPhone releases have not changed.  The lines at the Apple and AT&T; stores, the Android vs. Apple commercials, the blogs about updates to the phone.  But some of the trends, especially around the software side, are pretty different.  So, along with the phone release is the release of the new operating system, iOS8.  And new operating systems mean new apps!!! Yay!!

This weekend, trends in the most popular apps have shifted heavily due to the new operating system and one type of app is making strides in popularity: keyboard apps!

Apple operating systems have been notorious for strictly controlling the user interface.  But with this latest release, it has opened up a little bit.  That makes room for adapting some of the elements within your phone, and keyboard apps have capitalized on this opportunity.
