<p><span style="font-size:14px">The US keyboard on the iPhone and iPad has a surprising number of extra characters that you can type...if you know how to find them.

<p>When it comes to iPhone battery cases, Mophie is the gold standard. The company was one of the earliest manufacturers of battery cases and continues to make what I personally believe to be the best iPhone battery cases available. We've got a heck of a deal for our readers today: A factory-refurbished <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/mophie-juice-pack-air-battery-case-for-iphone-6-6s"><strong>Mophie Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 6 or 6s for just $49.95</strong></a>.  </p>

<p>Over the past two years I've had the opportunity to review three different wearable cameras. The first was the original <a target="_blank" href="http://getnarrative.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Narrative Clip</a> "life logging" camera, which opened my eyes to the concept of having a camera that you could wear and use to capture photos automatically or with a tap. The second was the <a target="_blank" href="http://getnarrative.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Narrative Clip 2</a>, a $199 device that I backed on Kickstarter and waited for over a year to ship. The third was the new <a target="_blank" href="https://us.driftinnovation.com/products/compass?variant=20357839431" rel="noopener noreferrer">Drift Innovation Compass Wearable Camera</a> ($129.99), which I'm taking a look at today. </p>

<p>Wouldn't it be great if you could share files with anybody, anywhere, regardless of what type of computer they're using -- and just do it by dragging and dropping the files? Droplr Pro is the tool that can make this dream a reality, and  <strong><a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/lifetime-individual-license-of-droplr-pro?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=lifetime-individual-license-of-droplr-pro_081216">we're going to give you lifetime access to Droplr Pro for just $21.99</a></strong>. </p>

<p>Wood cases for iPhones are nothing new, but traditionally they've had a few common issues -- price and bulkiness. Carved's <a target="_blank" href="http://www.carved.com/shop/iphone-6-plus/traveler-wood-case/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Traveler Case</a> (starting at just $24) provides the luxury look of wood, the protection of a rubber bumper case, and more designs than you can imagine. Let's take a look!</p>

<p>The World Wide Web has become such a part of our lives that it's hard to believe that the first public mention of it was made on August 6, 1991 -- not that long ago. 25 years later, there are a huge variety of tools and frameworks available for professional web developers. OSTraining provides courseware to show you how to master those tools, and today our <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/ostraining-developer-bootcamp-lifetime-subscription-3?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ostraining-developer-bootcamp-lifetime-subscription-3_081016"><strong>Apple World Today Deals Shop has a lifetime subscription to OSTraining's huge library of courses for just $60</strong></a>.  </p>

<p>The rumors have it: wireless earphones are probably going to become more widespread in the near future as Apple will (allegedly) be removing the audio jack from the iPhone. While using the Lightning port will add some wonderful capabilities like noise cancellation to less expensive wired headphones, many people may start looking at lower cost wireless earbuds as a way to get their tunes. That's where earphones like the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FWB1QAY/appwortod01-20/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Optoma NuForce BE6i</a> (US$129.00) come in, offering excellent sound, light weight, and wireless convenience in one little package.</p>

<p>Adobe's Portable Document Format or PDF has become the standard for electronic documents. Most Mac and iOS apps can save documents as PDFs for sharing, but what about those situations where you need to change a PDF, sign it, or block sensitive information in a document? In those cases, you need <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/pdfpen-8-all-purpose-pdf-editor-for-mac?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pdfpen-8-all-purpose-pdf-editor-for-mac_080816"><strong>PDFpen 8</strong></a> from Smile, without a doubt the best PDF editor for Mac. We're going to make PDFpen 8 affordable with today's deal, as you'll get it for $37, half off the regular price of $74.95.  </p>

<p>Drone pilot <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrNk0Ymg6JeagiMSNAiBglg" rel="noopener noreferrer">Matthew Roberts</a> has been making monthly flights over the construction of the Apple Campus 2 facilities and as the latest video show, things are moving along and appear to be on track for the early 2017 opening of the facility. </p>

<p>Poor iPhones. When people are driving, their iPhones get stuck into cup holders, jammed into consoles, even placed in laps! With this deal on the <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/layze-flexible-windshield-dashboard-universal-car-mount?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=layze-flexible-windshield-dashboard-universal-car-mount_080516"><strong>Layze Flexible Universal Car Mount</strong></a> (only $12.99) you can afford to let your iPhone ride in luxury and out of harm's way. </p>

<p>On a regular basis, <em>Apple World Today</em> posts a list of notable new apps or app updates that have been released. They may not necessarily be new, but they're popular and deserve mention. Here are today's picks.</p>

<p>Developer John Saddington (<a target="_blank" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/desk-pm-writing-blogging-notetaking/id915839505?mt=12" rel="noopener noreferrer">Desk</a>) is definitely raising his 5-year-old daughter Arden well. He shared a blog post and video with me this morning that I just had to pass along. John had purchased a poster celebrating the 1997 Apple "Think Different" ad campaign and has had the poster on the wall of his bathroom since 2012. Arden surprised John by memorizing the speech, so he took a video -- complete with intro:</p>
