Hot on the heals of the iPhone location fiasco (or 'locationgate' for those with a flair for the overly-dramatic) comes Footprints, an application for tracking iOS devices, but in a good way.
Part of the world's love of music is sharing new tracks and albums with friends, bringing new musical discoveries along with it. With our always-connected lives and always-on devices sharing musical tastes is easier than ever, and with a new jailbreak tweak you can let your Facebook friends in on your latest favorite track.
After all the furore surrounding the revelation that iOS devices have been keeping tabs on where they've been and saving the information to various log files both on the device and the computer they're synced to, Apple released iOS 4.3.3 to rectify the issue. But did it do the job? According to PCMag, it did indeed.
Nothing sums up the Apple ethos more than the infamous Mac vs. PC ads we all grew to love. Featuring Justin 'Mac' Long and John 'PC' Hodgman the ads ran long enough for 66 unique spots to be filmed, with Apple finally pulling the plug on the ads last year.
The iPhone Dev Team released Redsn0w 0.9.6rc15 to support untether jailbreak for all devices (except iPad 2) on iOS 4.3.3 firmware.
While Apple's iPhone 4 is now slouch in the speed stakes, we could all use a little speed boost now and again. With today's iOS apps and games becoming increasingly power-hungry, squeezing every last clock cycle out of our hardware is a must, and if you jailbreak it's entirely do-able too.
Ah, the humble white iPhone. When Apple first announced it way back in 2010 nobody could foresee the headline making chaos that would ensue and certainly nobody could have predicted we'd still be debating the handset all these months later. Even more amazing is what we're all getting so hot under the collar about - is the white iPhone thicker than the black one? Well, kinda, yeah.
If there is one area where Apple's iOS still lags behind Google's Android, it's in the software updating process. As things stand today, eager updaters must first be informed that an update is available and then run off to plug their iDevice into a computer for iTunes to work its magic. Contrast this with the painless over-the-air nature of Android's updates and it's clear to see where Apple needs to be focusing its energy right now.
Still holding out hope that Apple is keeping the iPhone 5 under raps with an eye on releasing it in the usual June/July timeframe? If that's the case then we're afraid one AT&T customer services rep. might just have ruined your day after they claimed Apple has told them there will be no new iPhone. Yet.
The just released iOS 4.3.3 firmware update for iPhone 4 has been successfully jailbroken using custom PwnageTool bundles. The jailbreak though is tethered only for now, which means that you will have to boot it into jailbroken state every time you reboot.
