As you will already be aware, unless you've been stuck under a rock for the last few months, iOS 5 is set to launch next week along with the iPhone 4S, and although we've looked at and covered many of the key features, there are still new ones being discovered all the time in what has been a rather turbulent week for all concerned with Apple.
Yesterday, we reported that JailbreakMe.com had been sold to an unknown person and that Comex’s web-based jailbreaking tool would be transferred to a new Jailbreaks.me domain. Well, there is good news to be heard regarding the story, as the JailbreakMe.com domain has been transferred to Cydia developer Saurik.
We're kinda shocked at this, and we can't help but wonder if this is the first sign of change in the Tim Cook years, but Apple and AT&T are apparently in talks to change the 3G icon in the iPhone 4S' status bar to a 4G one.
JailbreakMe.com, the online service of sorts which let users jailbreak their iOS devices with a swipe of the finger, has been transferred to an “untrusted” owner after being sold recently and, as such, is no longer safe for use. The developer community will instead host the jailbreaking tool on a new domain which we’ve discussed after the jump.
Apple has begun taking pre-orders for the iPhone 4S, The news comes directly from Apple’s official website where the pre-order forms just went live.
Behind Mail, Mobile Safari is probably one of the most used apps on the iPhone. It's one of the joys of the iOS universe - a lightweight mobile browser that actually behaves like a proper, fully-fledged (bar Flash, obviously) desktop browser. Everyone loves it, and it works well. But it's missing one thing.
If there's one certainty about the release of a new iDevice, it's that Firemint will announce a new, shiny release of the ever-popular racing simulator, Real Racing 2.
During Apple's iPhone event, possibly the most awe-inspiring demonstration was that of the new Siri feature which is built into iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S. Siri's features, which offer users the ability to almost have a conversation with the iPhone 4S, will be exclusive to Apple's new smartphone, with all current hardware left out in the cold.
With final version of iOS 5 now available, there's no surprise that many of you might be looking to upgrade your iPod touch, iPad or iPhone as soon as possible, but there are often reasons not to upgrade, such as the availability of certain jailbreak tweaks and last-minute bugs that might have slipped by Apple's testing. If you have already upgraded, good news: you can downgrade your device back to iOS 4.3.5, 4.3.4, 4.3.3, 4.3.2, or 4.3 in a matter of minutes. Don't know where to start? Then read on.
With the announcement of the iPhone 4S, it was never going to be too long before the comparisons with other smartphones on the market began to surface. A comparison chart thrown up by ThisIsMyNext puts everything into perspective by comparing Apple's latest iPhone with its predecessor, along with Samsung's Galaxy S II.
