The week in Apple news brought more reports detailing next generation products in the pipeline. Throughout the coming year, the iPhone 7, iPad Air 3 and iPhone 6c are all set to launch. Design changes and upgraded internal hardware will update most of Apple's mobile products. Super Bowl 50 will be widely accessible on iOS devices this evening, and Nintendo has a secret iOS app in the works. Here are more details on the week in Apple news.

Adult Swim updated Pockey Mortys to version 1.1 on February 3. The update added 19 new Mortys for players to collect and it included a fix for the Mascot Morty bug. This was only a minor update. Hopefully Adult Swim is working on a major update with a new adventure, side quests and things to craft. The Pocket Mortys Twitter is aslo holding a poll to name the first female Morty in the game.

Comedian Steven Wright once said, "there's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot."

This is why staying home to enjoy the relaxing pastime of fishing is better than actually doing the real thing. All kidding aside, fishing enthusiasts can now experience the fun of pro-fishing anywhere on their iOS device thanks to GameMill Entertainment and Concrete Software. Rapala Fishing promises to deliver the most realistic fishing experience possible on a handheld device or tablet.

Apple took multitouch gestures to a new level with the launch of the original iPhone. The iPhone 6s brought the concept even further, adding 3D Touch to detect pressure. Now it seems that future iOS devices may include the space above the screen as another level of input. In a patent granted this week the company details methods for hover detection, which could be used to sense gestures made without contacting the display surface at all.

Nintendo's relationship with mobile gaming has been odd, to say the least. The video game company for years refused to bring its popular titles and characters to mobile devices before finally teaming up with mobile game developer DeNA in 2015 to produce apps for "smart devices." Nintendo then disapointed fans by announcing Miitomo -- a social networking app where users could create a Mii avatar and communicate with other users.
