Well that didn't take long. Best Buy is already offering the iPhone 5c for only $50. Customers who buy the new Apple handset from the electronics retailer will receive a $50 gift card with their purchase. Best Buy is also offering the same deal on Samsung Galaxy smartphones, including the Galaxy S 4.

This is the next best deal after Sprint's free iPhone offer, but you have to be willing to switch carriers to take advantage of Sprint's discount. Both Target and Walmart are selling the iPhone 5c for $80, meaning Best Buy does currently have best deal on Apple's "unapologetically plastic" handset.

Racing game developer Eutechnyx has launched the first officially licensed NASCAR game for iOS devices. The racing title features 43 drivers, teams, sponsors, and tracks from the 2013 season. Eutechnyx describes the game as a "sim-meets-action strategy racer" where players must decide "when to push, when to pit, and how to react to new situations" to win.

Players must utilize real time data, and upgrade essential vehicle and pit team components to better their NASCAR careers.

“NASCAR drivers and teams know the value of patience - of choosing the right moment before making their move and which strategies to employ in the heat of the action” noted Blake Davidson, NASCAR Vice President of Licensing & Consumer Products. "We've been very deliberate in evaluating opportunities in the mobile gaming space in an effort to ensure that when we do come to the table with a NASCAR-branded game for the iOS platforms that it will be highly engaging and a best-in-class experience."

The best way to save battery life while using iOS 7 is by turning off everything you don't use. For example, the parallax effect may be neat, but what good is the illusion of 3D when your phone is dead? Or do you really need your phone to automatically update all your apps? Here are a few iOS 7 features you may want to disable or limit so you can get more use out of your battery.

Turn Off Parallax

You can turn off the parallax effect by navigating to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion > OFF.

Turn Off Auto Downloads

You can go back to manually updating your apps by navigating to Settings > iTunes & App Store and scrolling down to Automatic Downloads.

Sure we've seen similar projects before, but now the real deal has been leaked by @evleaks. Logitech's gamepad accessory for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s is coming soon, and it will look like the photo below.

The iPhone fits securely inside the gaming-friendly case, making the setup appear similar to a PS Vita. Controls include a directional pad on the left, four action buttons, and two additional buttons on the corners of the gamepad. Logitech is no doubt taking advantage of new support for game controllers that Apple has built into iOS 7.

The iPhone 5s launch has been another example of demand outpacing supply. Walking into an Apple store and leaving with the latest iPhone is easier said than done. Checking Apple's website to see if the device is in stock at multiple stores can be tedious. According to the latest estimates from Apple, ordering online means shipping will take place sometime in October, which could mean up to 28 days from now.

Now thanks to developer Mordy Tikotzky there's a handy tool named iPhone-Check that does all of the hard work for you. Simply enter a zip code along with the specific configuration you're looking for and voilà, the latest in-stock data from Apple's website is listed for the closest 20 Apple locations.
