With the next-generation iPhone set to launch sometime in the next few months - many credible rumors suggest October - concepts of what the device could possibly look like are being produced by designers already. ADR Studio, a common source of such art has outed yet another concept mockup of what they call the "iPhone Plus". It depicts an extremely thin iPhone with a 4.3" screen and an aluminum back, similar to the iPad, or even the first-generation iPhone in some regards.
As avid followers of the jailbreak community, we're used to being teased by the modders, developers and exploiters regarding each new advance towards a jailbreak, and Pod2g has done exactly that in revealing that he's discovered two new vulnerabilities in the quest to fully disarm the latest version of IOS.
George Hotz, known to most as serial exploiter Geohot, has been keeping something of a fairly low profile of late. Then again, when you're used to jailbreaking consoles and smartphones while making viral rap videos aimed at Sony's lawyers, I guess anything less than an explosion constitutes calmness and tranquility.
Browsing the web is one of the primary uses of an iOS device, and while Apple's stock Safari app does the job to a satisfactory standard, it's not spectacular by any stretch of the imagination, and for that reason, there are many third-party offerings vying for consumer approval.
One of the great things about the Apple's iOS mobile operating system is the native ability to be able to set certain restrictions on the device that prevent users from performing certain tasks. The restrictions options, which are accessible through the General menu of the Settings app on the device, are similar to parental controls that allows the owner of the device to restrict certain actions from being performed on the device, such as launching the App Store, Camera or Safari.
One of the most appealing features of using a device like the iPhone or iPad is the fact that they act as an extremely powerful media gadget, capable of displaying rich media on the beautiful multitouch display. Regular users will be aware that although the device is very powerful, it does have certain limitations when it comes to using specific file types, something that can be very frustrating considering how powerful and advanced the device is.
Despite its imperfections, it's hard to fault Cydia - the nucleus of the open-source jailbreak community, and with such a wide range of tweaks available serving different purposes, it's quite easy to forget that actually, there isn't much in the way of an alternative.
Since arriving as one of the main features of the iPhone 4S and iOS 5, Siri has certainly had its ups and downs, and while some have manipulated it to detect brain waves and perform other weird and wonderful tricks, others have opted to sue Apple, disappointed by the poor performance of the system-wide voice recognition software.
Following on from the recent articles relating to backing up and restoring the generated activation tickets that are produced as a result of the SAM iPhone unlock method, a set of developers have released an app onto the Cydia store that makes the process a lot simpler for users who may have been struggling, or just prefer an easier way of doing things.
Here at Redmond Pie, we dedicate a great deal of our time and resources to covering as much of the Cydia scene as possible, and while we're all more than aware of the many benefits a jailbreak can bring in terms of functionality and customization, we'd never have pitched it as a potential tool for aiding the disabled.
