iPhone 5S Launch: The Killer Apps For Leaders TweetTweetTweet The new iPhone 5S was announced today, so what are 20 killer apps that leaders should install on their new phone? I’m focusing on apps because, on the surface at least, the new iPhone is much like the last one. While we live in hope of the next category killer, expectations were lowered to the point where weren’t expecting Tim Cook to produce an “insanely great” Steve Jobs leap forward. The biggest changes we saw on the outside of the iPhone 5S were a new “champagne” gold color and a new fingerprint reader that will save you having to enter your PIN code every time you make a phone call. The changes were more focused on the internals: in addition to global 4G connectivity and the usual speed bump, the iPhone 5S will ship with the new iOS 7 software/operating system, which has been overhauled by Apple’s star designer Sir Jony Ive, offering cleaner lines, brighter colors and a more human interface. Yet for so many of us, the iPhone (and its big sister, the iPad) will remain an inseparable part of our lives, both at work and at home. As leaders, we can magnify their impact if we power them up with the killer apps and content we need to lead, boost our productivity and help us best to live out our aspirations for our lives. NB Most of the apps featured below are free. While a couple towards the end which are for successful, “cash-rich time-poor CEO”, the overall aim is to help us make the most of our time and get the best mix of convenience, insight and value for money. So here’s my pick of the Top 20: Health Wellbeing Nike+ Move CEOs and leaders are competitive creatures. The Nike+ Move app has been upgraded to work with the iPhone 5Ss M7 motion sensor chip, and provides an effective way for them to compete against both their peers and themselves. Using GPS, it will track your pace, distance, time and calories burned as you run or walk. My favorite feature is how it can share your runs in real-time on Faceb
