Instagram has released a new version of their award winning and one of our top must-have iPhone apps, which makes it simple and fun to make and share photos on your iPhone.

Instagram v2.1 gets a new and improved user interface and includes a number of new features such as Lux - a photo enhancement feature, a new filter called Sierra and improved iOS Notification Center integration.

Instagram has explained a bit more about the new features on their blog:

Lux

We’ve given you a new way to instantly transform the look and feel of your photos. In just one tap, Lux works its magic by making your photos more vibrant and bringing out details you couldn’t see before. Use it with a filter or without.

Simplified + Improved UI

We’ve simplified the look of Instagram. The improved header and menu buttons in this release are the first steps towards making it easier to understand and interact with our app.

Tappable Notifications

Now, when you tap on an Instagram notification in the iOS Notification Center, you’re brought directly to the relevant photo, comment or user profile page in the app.

You can check out the image below before and after using the 'Lux' photo enhancement feature. It's quite similar to Camera+'s popular 'Clarify' feature.

You can download Instagram 2.1 using this App Store link for free or update it via the Updates Tab in the App Store app.

As always, let us know what you think of the new and improved Instagram app.

Whilst we anticipate Apple to announce the new iPhone line-up sometime in September, it is firmly believed that the launch of the product will be sometime in early October, with not one, but two new iPhones.

Keeping up with the rumors and leaks is certainly an ongoing battle, and in the latest, the guys over at Engadget have stumbled across yet more of the “N94? prototypes that have been doing the rounds over the weekend. Besides a dot alongside the sensor location above the earpiece, the prototype looks pretty much identical to the iPhone 4, which sheds even more light on the entry-level iPhone which has been reported on many times in recent weeks.

The device, which has been dubbed the iPhone 4S, has been purported as a potential springboard for the promotion of iCloud, which was announced by former CEO Steve Jobs at WWDC ’11. The service, which aims to keep all account-linked iDevices syncing in perfect harmony with each other as well as giving users additional cloud space, will certainly restore some confidence in Apple’s web and internet ventures if the excitement displayed by Jobs when announcing is warranted with the final product.

Although ardent iPhone heads will, money permitting, almost certainly go for the iPhone 5, the mass market of casual users and teens are very likely to grab a less-featured iPhone with a reasonable amount of space (presumably 8GB), which will cater to all calling, texting, music, video, and time-passing needs. The reason that the iPod touch has continued to be successful despite lagging behind its smartphone counterpart in terms of features is because such users can get, to a degree, the iPhone experience minus the hefty price tag and the phone part of course. Apple will be hoping that by giving such markets the ability to call and text for their money, on T-Mobile and Sprint as well as Verizon and AT&T, they can subsequently convert a great deal more consumers to the iPhone way of thinking.

With the Cupertino company making preparations here, there and everywhere in anticipation of the launch, more and more people are gaining access to leaks and information regarding the final product. Here at Redmond Pie, we’ve pretty much covered the good, the bad and the downright ugly in terms of purported iPhone 5 designs, ideas, and leaks, and this will most certainly not be the last as we countdown to the official announcement, so stay tuned!
