The developers and hackers from the iPhone jailbreaking community sure are a talented bunch of people. Despite reports of Siri being incompatible with older iOS devices because of them “not having suitable hardware”, these folks took up the challenge of making Siri work on these devices and, if today’s news is anything to go by, they have successfully completed that challenge.
Apple's latest big thing is undoubtedly Siri, the digital assistant locked deep inside the new iPhone 4S. As soon as people began getting their hands on the iPhone 4S and, more specifically, Siri, they started to ask her (or him) increasingly random questions, just to see what the response was.
As simple a service as Twitter may be, sending out tweets isn’t. On iOS, you have to launch a Twitter app, tap a button to activate the tweet-input box, face unnecessary information and, finally, tap the Send button.
Siri has finally been ported over to older iOS devices and, unlike last time, there is a way you can install it right now. If you’re interested, you can follow the guide after the jump!
With iOS 5 bringing a lot more sophistication to the experience of using an iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, we can only but hope that the jailbreak community does likewise, upping the ante in order to really take advantage of the new options available within Apple's latest mobile OS.
There are three things that are guaranteed in life: death, taxes, and a new iPhone suffering poor battery life.
Reports of less than stellar iPhone 4S battery life have been circulating for the last couple of weeks now, with early adopters once again acting like guinea pigs for those clever enough to hold of buying the latest and greatest tech toys.
By now you have seen the image below of Steve Jobs inside of the Apple logo that has spread like wild fire since his death. And to honor the great man, an Apple fan has created a mod which gives tribute to Steve Jobs on the backplate of the iPhone 4.
After seeing unbelievably heavy demand in the United States, the iPhone 4S is taking another major leap and is now being launched in more countries today.
Unless their chipset has already been exploited and jailbroken on a previous device, it takes a lot of time for the iOS jailbreaking community to come with a jailbreak for a new iOS device. The iPhone 4S and iPad 2, both of which are based on a still (bootrom) unexploited dual-core A5 chip, haven’t received a jailbreak for iOS 5 yet, but it appears that they’ll be getting one soon as a certain eminent iPhone hacker has let us know that the iPhone 4S has already been jailbroken with a jailbreak for iPad 2 in the works.
The recent release of Steve Jobs' life story as told by Walter Isaacsson has revealed quite a few details of Apple's future ventures, including their aspirations to enter the competitive connected TV market - spearheaded by Jeff Robbins - a guy who seems to have more than a little pull within the Cupertino company's ranks.
