With the jailbreak community once again reveling in delight after the release of the latest jailbreak that provides an untethered experience across the board on iOS 5.1.1, the expectant update and release of the iPhone Dev Team's software-based Ultrasn0w unlock has finally come to fruition. For a lot of users, being jailbroken is only half the battle, with the ultimate goal being able to unlock their iPhone for use on all networks.
With the Hack In The Box Security Conference (HITBSecConf) behind us and the developer community looking forward to the announcements which Apple have to make at their Worldwide Developers Conference next week, it seems that the iPhone Dev Team have come to the conclusion that the time is right to give the jailbreak community a little pre-WWDC gift. Historically speaking, MuscleNerd and his compatriots are a team that just keep on giving, with this instance being no different, after taking to Twitter to announce that all of their software packages have been updated with the latest Rocky Racoon jailbreak 5.1.1 untether.
One of the main reasons that a lot of people jailbreak their iOS devices and love the software available is because of the customization options they bring to the table. A native iOS device such as the iPhone, iPod touch or an iPad is a very competent and powerful piece of kit, but the ability to make it unique is always something that will appeal.
The run up to any Apple hardware or software release just wouldn't be the same without the influx of rumors and insane speculation that gets thrown around the world wide web, often quoted as gospel. As you can imagine, with an initial look at iOS 6 set to come sometime during the worldwide Developers Conference and the sixth-generation iPhone expected later on this year, the conjecture train is stopping at every station with sources coming out of every corner to throw their opinions on board.
With all the note-taking and thought-jotting apps available for mobile devices, you could be forgiven for thinking that there wasn't really any room to innovate. Having gotten through quite a few myself, I was beginning to think this particular category of productivity was becoming an "if you tried one, you've tried them all" rigmarole.
With the annual HITBSecConf coming to an end last Friday, the jailbreak community is still reaping the benefits of the Absinthe 2.0 software which the Chronic Dev Team released to the world after their 'one more thing' announcement. Although the event itself featured some extremely talented and well known security researchers, it was perhaps the members of the Jailbreak Dream Team that were the celebrities of the event.
With just less than two weeks to go until Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco, it seems that people are expecting Apple to announce more than just some information pertaining to iOS 6. It isn't unordinary for this time of year to bring an influx of leaked parts and components that are speculated to be part of the purported next-generation iPhone. It is pretty much accepted that WWDC will bring some kind of iOS 6 announcement, paying particular attention to Apple's expected 3D maps application, but could we also see some hardware related announcements?
Although this week was meant to be all about Samsung with the release of the long-awaited Galaxy S III powerhouse, Apple - as it does - has unwittingly spoiled the party as the tech world becomes engrossed by leaks of the upcoming iPhone device.
It has been a long time, but on the 22nd of June, United States smartphone fans will be able to benefit from America's first prepaid iPhone package thanks to Cricket Wireless. The company, who trade independently but are owned by Leap Wireless will start to offer the deals at the back end of next month with an "unlimited" plan, setting consumers back $55 each month.
If you are keeping up on all your iPhone 5 rumors, then you will no doubt have gotten all hot under the collar about yesterday's leaked images of what appear to be rear plates from an “iPhone 5”. The images were part of a collection which also showed a relocated FaceTime camera and altered unibody design. The new shell, or should we say supposed photos of the supposed shell, caused something of a frenzy across the internet yesterday, with arguments breaking out as to their authenticity.
