It was noted from the beginning by the skeptics that the iPad was merely a big iPhone which didn't really bring anything new to the table. What with the iPad tablet series coming with 3G technology (if you can afford it), it was surely only a matter of time before the creative minds tried to turn it into quite literally a big iPhone.
It's been over a year since Apple released the iPhone 4, and despite the infamous death grip/Antennagate scandal which marred its initial release (added the fact that there weren't actually enough made to cope with the release), it has capitalized on the success of its predecessors to become one of the world's most popular smartphones. As the world eagerly waits for Jobs and Co. to "change everything, again", the rumor mill is in full spin with all sorts of names and designs in circulation. Now we have what appears to be a little substance - leaked images of what is claimed to be a test unit of the next iPhone installment.
Ever been in such an embarrassing social situation that you'd be willing to do anything to get out of it? How about faking an incoming phone call? If you own an iPhone, you can get Fake-A-Call, a new app that lets you fake incoming calls (including FaceTime calls) and hopefully get away with it.
George Hotz, who was famous for unlocking the very first iPhone back in 2007, and remained active within the iOS hacking community ever since, was spotted at iOSDevCamp on Saturday.
Many people enjoy having two phone numbers in order to balance their personal and professional life. The old-fashioned way is to just own two phones, but some phones now have two SIM slots, allowing users to use two phone numbers on the same phone, simultaneously. While the iPhone doesn't have this feature out-of-the-box, there's now an add-on that lets you replicate it, sort of.
With iOS 4.3.4 just released, rendering the also just-released super-simple JailbreakMe useless, some might be wondering how to jailbreak the new release of iOS. Well the iPhone Dev Team has just pushed a small update to Redsn0w to make it compatible with the just released iOS 4.2.4 firmware. This new version of Redsn0w can tether jailbreak most iOS devices on iOS 4.3.4, namely iPhone 4, 3GS, and iPod touch 4G/3G. The only device that's not supported at the moment is the iPad 2. The process should only take a few minutes to get Cydia up and running on your device.
Just like how you could jailbreak the iPhone and iPod touch with custom PwnageTool bundles, you can now jailbreak the iPad using the same method.
Earlier today, Apple released iOS 4.3.4 to close the PDF jailbreak hole which was exposed by Comex’s JailbreakMe 3.0. We have already warned you NOT to update to 4.3.4 if you want to keep your untethered jailbreak. If you updated by mistake, you can downgrade back to 4.3.3 and enjoy full untethered jailbreak as long as you have saved SHSH blobs for the firmware you are downgrading on.
Apple has just released iOS 4.3.4 which patches the PDF vulnerability exposed by Comex’s JailbreakMe 3.0 tool which was used to jailbreak iPhone, iPad (and iPad 2) or iPod touch on iOS 4.3.3.
Released alongside iOS 4.3.4 is iOS 4.2.9 for CDMA based iPhone 4 on Verizon’s network that patches PDF vulnerability in Mobile Safari exposed by the recently released JailbreakMe 3.0 tool by Comex.
