BBC iPlayer Updated for iPhone 5 (UK Only)
BBC's iPlayer app has been updated for the iPhone 5, bringing full 16:9 viewing to the app -- a welcome addition for UK television watchers. The BBC iPlayer for iPhone launched last December, bringing Live TV and Radio along with catch-up TV over Wi-Fi and cellular to the device.
One feature still missing is full support for AirPlay, though users can use AirPlay mirroring to send programs to the Apple TV.
