Of course, just because Apple’s strategy hasn’t actually changed recently won’t stop some other sites from acting like the heavens...
One of my favorite announced features of iOS 6 is Passbook, an Apple-created app that lets users keep any digital rewards cards, tickets or boarding passes in a central location on their iPhone.

Mostly known for their series of touchscreen-friendly gloves, Mujjo was branching out into clothing iPhones and MacBooks in leather and felt and I knew I had to get my hands on some to check them out.
