The Pangu team's release of a jailbreak for iOS 8 / 8.1 was a very pleasant and prompt surprise, but while we commend the work of the Chinese outfit, the response from the wider community has been equally admirable. Saurik, the author and maintainer of Cydia, has been working tirelessly to bring Cydia up to compliance with both Pangu and iOS 8 / 8.1, and having released a major update last week with a number of fixes, has just rolled out version 1.1.16. Full details, changelog and information on how you can avail this latest version of Cydia can be found after the fold.
Major new releases of iOS tend to bring with them plenty of complaints of poor performance on older devices, and iOS 8 was no different with regard to how it ran on the iPhone 4s and iPad 2. Neither hardware is getting any younger, and with limited hardware at their disposal both the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s have been found dwindling in the old speed stakes.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer may not be everyone's first choice when it comes to picking a browser, but despite having conceded quite a bit of its market share to Chrome and Firefox in its time, the software maker has made some significant improvements of late both in terms of functionality and reach. Given that IE is only available on the software maker's own platforms, though, it's somewhat limited to a particular audience, and so in order to rectify this situation, Microsoft has launched a new system that allows users to test the most recent edition of its Web-surfing app through the likes of OS X and iOS as well as Google's Android.
The timing of the Pangu8 jailbreak for devices running iOS 8 has meant that those on iOS 8.0 right through to the latest public build of iOS 8.1 can enjoy the freedom of an untethered jailbreak, irrespective of whether they're rocking an iPhone, iPad or fifth-gen iPod touch. Apple has just rolled out a beta of iOS 8.1.1, which applies a number of key fixes and performance enhancements, but in a bit of disappointing news as far as the jailbreak scene is concerned, also appears to have patched some of the exploits that have allowed Pangu8 to reach so many.
Since first releasing its jailbreak tool for iOS 8 / 8.1 only a couple of weeks back, the Pangu team has remained dedicated to the task of improving it, and having pushed a major update last week to bump the version number up to 1.1, today sees the roll-out of Pangu8 1.2.0. Once again, there are a number of fixes and performance tweaks, and if you're planning on jailbreaking your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 8 / 8.1, check the details after the leap!
Using a traditional, metallic key in this day and age is not the done thing, particularly when you're staying at one of the finest hotel chains in the business. But while swipe cards and NFC fobs have been a part of the hotel scene for a long time now, Starwood Hotels is just introducing a system that allows iPhone and Apple Watch owners to securely enter and exit their rooms via Bluetooth LE.
The latest installment of Call of Duty is almost upon us once more, and in anticipation of that all-important release, the supplementary companion apps have been released for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Details, as well as download links, can be found after the leap.
Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have shattered a number of records in its first six weeks on sale, and as well as outselling every previous iPhone during these early stages, has also done a pretty good job of embarrassing Samsung and the Galaxy Note 4. Despite the strong beginning, Apple's iPhone 6 / 6 Plus roll-out is not yet fully under way, and having launched in the U.S., U.K. and several other key nations way back in September, the number of countries able to access the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus now stands at over 60. After posting exceptional figures across much of Asia - China and Korea seem to have taken very well to the Cupertino company's latest and greatest - the iPhone 6 will hit another nine countries on November 14th, the details of which you'll find below.
The impromptu release of an iOS 8 / 8.1 jailbreak by the Pangu team may have blindsided us all a couple of weeks back, but the relatively surprising nature of the untether hasn't prevented prominent jailbreak developers from getting their apps, extensions and tweaks updated and ready for primetime. In the time that has followed since the launch of the Pangu8 untether, we've not only seen a number of updates to the actual jailbreak itself, but also a number of popular packages being refreshed with iOS 8 compatibility, the latest of which is Intelliborn's premium MyWi extension coming in the form of a new iOS 8 based library.
