iPhone 5 / iOS 6 app update roundup: new versions for a taller world

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/21/iphone-5-ios-6-app-update-roundup-new-versions-for-a-taller-world/)

Call it a hunch, but we suspect that at least a few of you picked up an [iPhone 5](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/18/apple-iphone-5-review/) today, or at least made the leap to [iOS 6](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/18/ios-6-review/). If you're in either position, you may be wondering just what apps to feed Apple's flagship (or that fresh new firmware) once it's ready to go. We've got a quick-hit list of titles that have been updated to take advantage of the tall display and new OS that go beyond [Apple's own work](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/19/apple-updates-nearly-every-app-for-ios-6-sneaks-in-key-updates/). The biggest upgrades of the lot come from [keynote darling](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/12/apple-iphone-5-liveblog/) CNN as well as [Flipboard](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Flipboard/): both have done more than add extra columns on the iPhone 5, offering an interface you won't see on any mere 3.5-inch iPhone. Some bread-and-butter apps have made the launch week cut as well, such as [Facebook](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/20/facebook-revamps-messenger-for-android-with-friendlier-chats/) and Twitter.

There's even more if you're willing to dig deep. Third-party Twitter client [Tweetbot](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Tweetbot/) beat the official app to the punch by days, and we've likewise spotted updates to [Evernote](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Evernote/), its rival Remember the Milk and Yelp. We know some apps aren't fully iPhone 5- or iOS 6-native -- [Instagram](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Instagram/), for example, and most anything from Google -- but it's apparent that the holdouts are increasingly the exception, rather than the rule. Did you catch any other noteworthy apps that received a boost in recent hours? Let fellow owners know in the comments.
