During Apple's iPhone event, possibly the most awe-inspiring demonstration was that of the new Siri feature which is built into iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S. Siri's features, which offer users the ability to almost have a conversation with the iPhone 4S, will be exclusive to Apple's new smartphone, with all current hardware left out in the cold.
Well, it's all go in the patent world again, with Samsung already throwing the toys out of the pram. The Korean giant is attempting to block sales of Apple's (very) recently announced iPhone 4S in both France and Italy.
If you have already downloaded iOS 5, you might be wondering how to jailbreak it. Besides Redsn0w, Sn0wbreeze is a tool to consider, assuming that you're using an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, 3rd-generation iPod touch, 4th-generation iPod touch or any other A4 powered device. iPad 2 and iPhone 4S support is not present as of yet.
With final version of iOS 5 now available, there's no surprise that many of you might be looking to upgrade your iPod touch, iPad or iPhone as soon as possible, but there are often reasons not to upgrade, such as the availability of certain jailbreak tweaks and last-minute bugs that might have slipped by Apple's testing. If you have already upgraded, good news: you can downgrade your device back to iOS 4.3.5, 4.3.4, 4.3.3, 4.3.2, or 4.3 in a matter of minutes. Don't know where to start? Then read on.
One of Apple's key differentiators is AppleCare, which offers that added piece of mind when you attach it to your Apple branded bride and joy.
Did we all enjoy today's Apple event? We know we did. With Apple unveiling a whole new iPhone, refreshed iPods and more iCloud and iOS 5 info, it's been a rather eventful day so far.
Many months and a seemingly endless number of betas later, iOS 5 is finally going to drop to consumers on the 12th of this month, it brings all those features we've been promised - and then some.
That's right folks. Although you've had to wait nearly 16 months for Apple to announce the successor to the very successful iPhone 4, you can pre-order it from Friday!
Unless you have been without an Internet connection for the last week, you're likely aware that Apple was to hold an iPhone-related event today, which it wrapped up less than one hour ago. One of the products announced was the iPhone 4S, which will be also be available on Sprint, in addition to Verizon and AT&T.
Over the last few months, we've seen several pre-release seeds of iOS 5 but no indication on when we'd finally see the final version, and without any surprise, today at their media event, Apple has seeded the final Gold Master candidate of iOS 5 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
