Apple’s App Store was launched exactly three years ago on 10th July, 2008 with an update to iTunes. The very next day, Apple launched the iPhone 3G which, besides having subtle hardware/design tweaks over its predecessor, came with the App Store built-in on iOS 2.0. Apple expanded the Store’s scope last year when the company introduced its tablet iPad.
JailbreakMe 3.0 continues its steady growth with 2 million jailbreaks already applied since the tool came out (officially) last week. The news was delivered by Grant Paul (also known as @chpwn) via his Twitter account.
If you thought people jailbreaking on-display iPod touches and iPads at Apple Stores was cool, this you’ll find even more cooler.
Earlier this week, we showcased Swype for iOS, a new jailbreak that greatly increases typing speed on iOS devices. Back when we first previewed the tweak, it had several caveats, such as low accuracy and other bugs. Swype has now been updated to address those issues and make the port feel more like the original Android version.
Fan-created concepts have always shun a light on what an upcoming product might look like, and this one isn't an exception. Brazilian Graphics Design student Schasiepen Guilherme Martins has created a concept of what the next iPhone should look like, based on the various reports that have come out of the rumor mill over the last few months.
Despite being the world’s most popular smartphone, the iPhone is yet to make an appearance in the Chinese wireless carrier market. Today, an iPhone (5?) apparently running on China Mobile’s TD-SCDMA network has been caught in the wild, which is sure to give hope to those in China desirous of an iPhone.
JailbreakMe 3.0 has now been used over 1 million times since it came out only 2 short days ago, according to Grant Paul (known as @chpwn on Twitter), one of the project's contributors. Since its inception back in 2007, JailbreakMe has allowed users to jailbreak their iOS devices by simply pointing Mobile Safari to a crafted web page.
According to sources familiar with Apple's supply chain, the company has ordered parts for a next-generation iPhone, alleged by this source to come in a thinner and lighter enclosure.
Analysts are reporting that Apple’s iPhone will be coming to another American wireless carrier this year - Sprint-Nextel - in Christmas.
If you've been keeping a close eye to the news over the last few days, you're probably aware of JailbreakMe 3.0, a simple untethered jailbreak that takes advantage of a PDF exploit in Mobile Safari. The wizards in the jailbreak community have engineered a fix that manages to preserve the jailbreak, at the same time as it stops unsuspecting users from launching a harmful PDF and having their devices taken over.
