Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc. in his keynote address at WWDC 10 (World Wide Developers Conference) has announced the much awaited iPhone 4. After a long presentation about the number of apps downloaded from iTunes, number of iPads sold, some new enhancements to iPad, and the new development tools and corporate features that the phone’s updated operating system, "iPhone 4.0," will support, Jobs finally got to the details about the next-generation phone that has been leaked with tons of rumors for months.
Since Apple has renamed iPhone OS 4 to iOS 4, we thought we will update our jailbreaking guide for iOS 4.0 for both iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. The redsn0w 0.9.5b4 which was released for iPhone OS 4 Beta 4 (now iOS 4) will need an update to work with this version of iOS 4. But the instructions to jailbreak would remain the same. We will let you know as soon as an update is available.
The million dollar question, how long before the new iPhone 4 is going to be jailbroken and unlocked? Well we already know that the iPhone Dev Team has already announced that they are going to release an unlock which will work on the 05.12.01 baseband on all iPhones, provided they haven't upgraded to the latest 05.13 baseband. But since the new iPhone 4 will have the latest baseband, it will be a while before it gets fully jailbroken and unlocked. Another infamous iPhone hacker by the name of Geohot is also said to have a new bootrom exploit, which he has preserved for this new iPhone.
Yes you read that right! The Italian site iDroid has managed to port the latest Android 2.2 OS (aka Froyo) to iPhone 3G. This port is based on the same iBoot method which was originally released for both iPhone 2G and 3G with Android 1.6.
We have been hearing about this one aren't we? but what we have now is final confirmation. According to the member of iPhone Dev Team, full carrier unlocks for iPhone OS 3.1.3, and iPhone OS 4.0 will be released this month once Apple has released both the final version of iPhone OS 4, and the next iPhone 4G / HD.
The developer behind Infiniboard, Infinidock, ProSwitcher, ProSwitcher HD and the UI designer of Spirit untethered jailbreak tool for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has posted a video showing “pulldown refresh” for the native Mail app in iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. This mod will enable us to refresh or recheck for new emails by simply pulling down the app, as seen in Twitter for iPhone (formerly Tweetie) app.
According to the sources at BGR, there is high chance that the next Apple iPhone will go on sale nationwide on Friday, June 18th 2010. They have confirmed it through multiple AT&T store reps that since the sales quotas for this month are very high, what this means is that the iPhone 4G/HD is confirmed to launch sometime in June, not July.
Those of you who have been using Apple MobileMe services might have noticed a slight change in “Account Type” status for the last week or so. It now reads “Full Member” instead of “Free Member” or “Individual” which hints at a possibility that Apple might be making this service free after all.
Apple has started hanging banners outside San Francisco’s Moscone center in preparation for the upcoming WWDC 2010 conference which will be held here next week starting from June 7. The large iPhone apps-centric WWDC10 banner which was seen on the invitation cards has already been hung, alongside Apple logo outside the main conference center.
