Untethered Jailbreak Works With iPhone 4 Running iOS 5.0.1

Here's some more good news for jailbreakers, especially iPhone 4 users. pod2G has just confirmed that he has successfully performed an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4 running on iOS 5.0.1.
Couple of days back pod2G who has been a member of the Chronic Dev team had demoed an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 on an iPod touch but had hinted that it should work on iPhone 4.
However, few minutes back he has confirmed that he has managed to successfully perform an untethered jailbreak even on an iPhone 4 running on iOS 5.0.1:
Got an untethered iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1. Feel free to update.
Of course, if you want to SIM unlock, don't update using Apple's original FW nor update OTA.
As pod2G has mentioned, please do not update your iOS 5.0.1 if you rely on a software method to unlock your iPhone.
pod2g hasn't provided any ETA on when the tool to jailbreak iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1 (untethered) will be released to the public. It remains to be seen if pod2G's untethered jailbreak will support iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.
As always, we'll let you know as soon as we have any further updates, so stay tuned here at iPhone Hacks or join our Facebook Fan page or follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our RSS feed.

Apple Planning to Add Bluetooth 4.0 Support For AirPlay

Japanese Mac blog Macotakara (via AppleInsider) reports that Apple is planning to add Bluetooth 4.0 support to its AirPlay wireless protocol.
Macotakara reports that Apple announced at MFi Technology Summit 2011 in Shenzhen that ended on Friday that it will be releasing a new certification chip for MFI (Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch) devices that will allow future AirPlay products to connect to iOS devices via Bluetooth 4.0.
Apple's AirPlay wireless protocol allows users to stream media content using Wi-Fi technology to AirPlay compatible devices like Apple TV from an iOS device or computer. The low power consumption of Bluetooth 4.0 makes it an excellent alternative to Wi-Fi especially for iOS devices.
By allowing its AirPlay wireless protocol to work over Bluetooth, Apple is expected to expand AirPlay wireless devices market by several times and create opportunities in the healthcare and gaming industry.

Apple added Bluetooth 4.0 support in iPhone 4S, Mac Mini and MacBook Air that were introduced this year. In fact, iPhone 4S that was launched two months back was the first smartphone in the world to support Bluetooth 4.0.
As Rounak had noted few months back:
New standards, however good they might be, need a major player to back them for mass adoption. Believe it or not during the media format war between VHS and BetaMax, VHS survived only because of porn industry's backing. Similarly, Apple's backing can play a huge role in the survival or death of a certain standard.
It looks like slowly but surely, Apple seems to be doing it for Bluetooth 4.0.

Apple Gets Network Access Permit For iPhone 4S In China; Launch Imminent

Couple of weeks back we had reported that Apple had received an approval for iPhone 4S  from Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) - the state agency in China that regulates the Internet and wireless communications. But they had to wait for the network access permit to start selling their new iPhone in the country.
M.I.C Gadget now reports that Apple has received the network access permit for iPhone 4S.
M.I.C Gadget reports:
the 4S had cleared the required MIIT regulatory hurdles and the device obtained a three-year valid Radio Transmission Equipment Type Approval Certificate (RTETAC), which is one of the requirements for getting MIIT’s network access license. The model submitted for testing was compatible with GSM, WCDMA, HSDPA / HSUPA, Bluetooth, and WAPI (WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure).
M.I.C Gadget reports that Apple and China Unicom's, Apple's iPhone carrier partner in China, are hoping to launch iPhone 4S this month.
the iPhone 4S has finally been granted the permit, and China Unicom is now expecting to launch the device this month. The company told Chinese news website Sohu that the preparation work for sales channel, staff training and network testing is completed. They will try their best to make the iPhone 4S’s arrival official by Christmas and New Year.

M.I.C Gadget reports that China Unicom expects the 16GB iPhone 4S to be available for 4,999 yuan (approximately $789) without contract, which is more expensive than US prices, where a 16GB iPhone 4S is available for $649, but cheaper than India where the entry level iPhone 4S is available for approximately $875.

Redsn0w Will Soon Allow You To Downgrade Using iOS 5 SHSH Blobs


Back in June, iPhone Dev team had revealed in a blog post titled "Blob Monster" that Apple has made it difficult to downgrade to an older firmware using SHSH blobs in iOS 5.
However, earlier in the week - iH8sn0w - developer of jailbreak tool Sn0wbreeze released an updated version of iFaith to add support for dumping iOS 5 SHSH blobs, which unlike TinyUmbrella allow users to downgrade to an older version of iOS if they had dumped SHSH blobs with the apticket using iFaith.
It looks like it is going to be soon possible to downgrade using SHSH blobs saved using TinyUmbrella, according to a series of tweets by MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev team.
Upcoming redsn0w release makes both TinyUmbrella and Cydia blob saves useful for 5.0+ (1st verifies, then stitches)
For time being, please just use most recent TU to save 5.0.1 blobs+APTicket…redsn0w will do the rest, should you need to restore.
MuscleNerd hasn't provided any details of how it will work nor has he provided an ETA on when the new version of Redsn0w will be released, but as he has recommended it is a good idea to take SHSH blobs using TinyUmbrella, which is available for both Mac and Windows or iFaith.
As always, we'll let you know as soon as we have any further updates, so stay tuned here at iPhone Hacks or join our Facebook Fan page or follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our RSS feed.

Rumor: Next Generation iPad Will Be Available In 3-4 Months


According to Taiwanese publication DigiTimes, Apple will launch the next generation iPad in 3 to 4 months.
DigiTimes reports that according to their sources in Apple's supply chain, the production of parts for iPad 3 has already started ramping up, while production of iPad 2 has declined.
DigiTimes reports:
OEM production of iPad 2 will remain high at 14-15 million units in the fourth quarter of 2011 but decline to 4-5 million units in the first quarter of 2012, paving the way for the launch of the new iPads, the sources noted.
According to DigiTimes' sources in the supply chain, the production of the new iPads is expected to reach 9.5-9.8 million units in the first quarter of 2012.
Apple is expected to launch the third generation iPad with Retina Display towards the end of March or early April based on the yearly product cycle. To get some perspective: the Wi-Fi version of the original iPad went on sale in the United States on April 3, 2010, while iPad 2 has been available for purchase since March 11, 2011.
So March-April timeframe is good guesstime for the availability of iPad 3. However, according to one analyst, the next iPad will be available in February.

Apple Loses Appeal, Samsung Allowed To Sell Galaxy Tab 10.1 In Australia


The Apple Vs. Samsung lawsuit has come to an interesting point. Apple has lost its appeal in Australia, allowing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to be sold.
Not too long ago, the Australian court lifted its ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Then, in the US, Apple lost their bid to halt Galaxy series phones and tablets.
Now, the Australian high court has rejected Apple's appeal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. PCMag has reported on Samsung's press release.
"The Full Court of Australia decision on November 30 clearly affirmed our view that Apple's claims lack merit and that an injunction should not have been imposed on the Galaxy Tab 10.1," Samsung said.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 was slated to launch back in September, but Samsung volunteered to delay the launch in light of the lawsuit, which claimed Samsung blatantly copied Apple's iPad tablet. The overturning of the ban should give a big boost to Samsung as they will at least be able to sell the Galaxy Tab before Christmas shopping season ends.
Apple's had a hard time with some of its patent wars recently, especially considering Motorola Mobility's recent win in the German courts. It'll be interesting to see if this will follow in the other countries where Apple has made patent infringement claims.

What’s On My iPhone 4S? Gaming Edition


If you’re a gamer, then the iPhone 4S upgrade is worth it for that reason alone. Games run much smoother, and in some cases they’ve been upgraded to take advantage of the new hardware.
The iOS platform is ridiculously good for games, but an iPhone 4S makes playing them even sweeter. Inside, I’ll share some of the games I’m playing right now on my iPhone 4S…

I used to be a big console gamer about 15-20 years ago, but recently I fell out of the hobby. Games were much better back then, get off my lawn, yadda, yadda, yadda.
I don’t own a console anymore, so the iPhone has become my main gaming platform. Thankfully, it’s been blessed with some wonderful games over the years and it will only get better.
Nintendo? I suggest you get on board now before the train permanently leaves the station.
The games featured in this video are as follows: 1-bit Ninja ($1.99), Eden – World Builder ($0.99), Blueprint3D ($0.99), Slam Dunk King (Free), and Asphalt 6 ($0.99).
All of the aforementioned games are a lot of fun, but out of all them the most unique is Blueprint3D. It’s a wonderfully calming game with excellent music and a never tackled before premise. Check it out.
What do you think about my selection of games, and what are you currently playing on your iPhone; 4S or otherwise?

iPhone 4S Moves One Step Closer to Mainland China


Apple’s latest smartphone, the iPhone 4S, is arguably the year’s hottest handset. Not only did the company sell 4 million 4S’ during the device’s opening weekend, but the smartphone is still flying off of retailer’s shelves a month later.
The handset is so popular, in fact, that carriers are having trouble keeping up with consumer demand — Apple can’t make them quick enough. And the phone hasn’t even found its way into mainland China yet, but it’s getting closer…
Sina, a Chinese tech publication, is reporting that the iPhone 4S has just been approved by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. MIIT is a state agency in China that oversees the regulation and development of the internet and wireless networks.
This is kind of a big deal because it means that Apple’s new smartphone is getting closer to launching in mainland China. Although the handset is already available in Hong Kong, major carriers like China Unicom and China Mobile have yet to offer the device.
The word on the street is that China Mobile and Apple haven’t finalized a deal just yet, but China Unicom is said to be chomping at the bit to carry the phone. The two carriers combine for nearly a billion subscribers, so needless to say they’re very important.
After a disappointing third quarter, Apple told investors that they expect $37 billion dollars in revenue in Q4. Getting the iPhone 4S going in China would certainly help with that, but it would also add to the handset’s growing supply problems.

Amazon’s Kindle Fire All Set to be 2nd Only to the iPad


The iPad may have had it all its own way since its initial inception last year, but if a new survey is to be believed, then it may finally have some real competition in the form of Amazon’s Kindle Fire.
New data from ChangeWave Research points to Amazon’s first entry into the tablet market being the second most popular tablet on the market, behind, you guessed it, Apple’s iPad.
A November survey of 3,043 people yielded the insight which shows that 22% of those questioned planned on picking up the 7? Kindle Fire, with 65% aiming to pick up an iPad. Third choice, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, could only garner 4% of the interest…

As is always the case with these kinds of surveys, people saying they plan to buy a particular product doesn’t always translate into actual purchases. The fact that an iPad competitor is now potentially getting itself into the double figures territory for first time ever may signal a change in the marketplace.
Amazon’s Kindle Fire is the first low-cost tablet to reach US shores from a brand that customers will flock to, and Amazon is undoubtedly a brand that people trust. With all of Amazon’s accompanying stores and online services, the Kindle Fire potentially offers the closest experience to Apple’s ecosystem that we’ve seen yet.
At $200, the Kindle Fire also provides a solution for the more frugal amongst us, costing less than half that of Apple’s iPad.

Apple Airs New iPad 2 “Love” Commercial


Last night, Apple aired a new TV ad for its iPad 2. The commercial is fairly similar to previous adverts, showing people from all walks of life using the tablet in different ways.
The ads are actually an accurate reflection of how the slate has made its way into several industries. We’ve seen the iPad replace everything from voters ballads to NFL play books…

Apple has dominated the tablet market with its iPad line since it unveiled the original last year. It’ll be interesting to see if it can maintain that dominance in the face of stiff competition like the cheaper Kindle Fire.
What do you think of Apple’s new “Love” TV ad?

Google’s Search App for the iPad Gets a Facelift

Google has had a rough time with its iOS software over the past few weeks. The search company released a [disappointing] native Gmail app for the iPhone earlier this month, but immediately pulled it due to problems with push notifications.
The app was resurrected in the App Store recently, but many of its problems were not resolved. Today, however, Google has redeemed itself a bit with an update to its Search application, as it brings several welcome changes to the iPad version…
The new UI in the iPad edition of Google’s Search app is actually a joy to use. The main screen features a large search field, and four grey icons. One takes you to your search history, one enables a voice search, one launches Google Goggles, and the other opens the app menu.
The search function works well, as expected, and uses Google Instant to show you live results as you type. The Voice Search feature also works well. The app menu can either mean the world to you, or nothing to you, depending on how many of Google’s services you use.

Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and other Google apps are built right into Google Search. You can login to and use the services without needing to switch out of the application — very handy. Google+, Google Maps, and Google Offers are also integrated.
The bottom line is that the new Google Search update makes a good app great, especially for iPad users. If you want to check it out for yourself, you can download the new software [for the iPad] from the App Store.
What do you think of the new Google Search for iPad?

Banners Appear on Apple.com for Black Friday Sales


If you haven’t quite finished your holiday shopping yet, you’ll be happy to know that Apple has announced that it will be hosting a Black Friday sale this week. “Black Friday” is the Friday after Thanksgiving and is generally the busiest shopping day of the year.
On this day, retailers offer [substantial] discounts on their products to attract customers into their stores. Apple participated in the festivities last year by knocking up to $100 off its Macs and iOS devices, and it looks like its gearing up for another sale this year…
Banners have started appearing on Apple’s online store in the UK, Italy and other countries (at the time of this writing, they haven’t appeared on the US site) indicating that the Mac-makers will be holding some kind of sale this Friday.
The text on the banners reads:
“The special one-day Apple shopping event. This Friday, November 25. Mark your calendar now, and come back to the Apple Online Store for the special one-day event. You’ll discover amazing iPad, iPod and Mac gifts for everyone on your list.”
As aforementioned, Apple’s Black Friday sales are generally lackluster in comparison with other retailers. But given that Apple is shooting for its biggest quarter ever, there’s a small chance that we could see it offer some decent discounts online this Friday.

90% of the Money Spent on Mobile Apps Comes From the App Store


With the iPad coming under scrutiny as the competition begins its latest assault on Apple’s tablet dominance, new figures suggest that the iPad may still be the best bet for those looking to make a living out of making tablet-based apps.
Piper Jaffray Senior Research Analyst Gene Munster has written in a research note released Monday that Apple’s iPad still accounts for between 85% and 90% of the money spent on mobile applications.
The news comes as Android moves into a new era thanks to the release of Ice Cream Sandwich, the release which Google hopes will combine the tablet and smartphone software in a way similar to the iPad and iPhone. Munster’s claims show that Android may still be suffering from an old issue: Android users just don’t seem to buy apps as much as iOS users…
Munster goes on to say that he believes around 1.3% of Android apps downloaded are of the paid-for variety, while that statistic jumps to a comparatively massive 14% for the iPad and iPhone’s App Store.
With buyers seemingly unwilling to spend money on their Android applications, developers of the Google persuasion are left with an ad-based model as their only source of income. Whether that will be enough to pull the very best iOS developers over to Android remains to be seen, but it isn’t quite happening just yet.

Hidden Code in iOS 5 Contains Interesting iPad 3 References


They’ve done it again. The folks over at 9to5Mac have uncovered some interesting information hidden deep within the code of iOS 5. The site has exposed several secret features in the new software by code-digging over the last few months — including Siri.
Its recent find pertains to an unreleased Apple product, codenamed J2. The site believes that this could actually be the next version of the iPad. Not only that, but it thinks that this could be the Retina display-equipped tablet everyone has been talking about…
Apparently, the J2 codename matches up with a recent report from Digitimes, which also names a J2 device as Apple’s next tablet.
“Since Apple demands that the new iPad model will need to be thinner than the iPad 2, while raising the machine’s screen resolution to 2048 by 1536, upstream component makers have been working aggressively to adjust the device’s LED and panel module designs to satisfy these demands, but the work has affected the launch schedule fo the new tablet PC. Apple is currently giving two tablet PC projects codenamed J1 and J2 to its upstream partners for development. The sources revealed that the major differences of the new tablet PCs compared to the previous model are their size, specifications and technologies.”
9to5Mac believes that J1 and J2 are similar tablets, with the latter being the 3G model. It also thinks that Apple is already testing the device, as it has been referenced in iOS 5 since the early betas.
We’ve heard rumors that Apple was working on an iPad with a Retina-like quality screen before, but this is the first time we’ve seen any kind of evidence. However, it still sounds like Apple and its supply partners are struggling to produce the hi-res displays.
Due to manufacturing limitations, it’s possible that Apple could have to choose between an iPad with a Retina display that is slightly thicker than its predecessor, or a thinner tablet with a lower screen resolution. Which one would you rather see next year?

Fruit Ninja: The Movie Trailer

You’re most likely familiar with the iOS hit game Fruit Ninja, in which your goal is to cut in half a variety of fruits that are being thrown at you while avoiding bombs.
But did you know that a movie is being made about the game? Well, that’s not actually true. As far as I know, no one is planning to make a movie out of it, but that didn’t prevent SAX Jewell and his friends from creating a Fruit Ninja trailer, and it is hilarious…

Funny, isn’t it?

SemiTether Jailbreak Updated For Stability

The popular SemiTether jailbreak was updated to v0.9.1 this morning, and it’s quite the update.
Working with Saurik, the team was able to fully incorporate the new mobile substrate, which allowed them to get rid of the daemon patching and restarting.
Mobile substrate now does all of the heavy lifting when it comes to the SemiTether. There’s even an option to patch Safari to work in non-jailbreak mode now.
Perhaps most importantly, the new version of SemiTether will protect your iOS 5 Notification Center plugins…
Along with that much needed feature, the team also says that they are looking into patching Mail, and working with the developers of MyWi and AppSync.
Per BigBoss here are is the summary of changes:
1) Much more stable with new mobile substrate
2) Can patch safari so it works in the non-jailbreak reboot mode
3) App to monitor the status of your semitether and reapply. Check after Cydia installs.
The team states that this update will certainly address the “flakiness” of the previous versions of SemiTether, but to keep in mind that this is still a beta package, and a complete rewrite of mobile substrate.
If you haven’t seen the video that we created that shows how to SemiTether jailbreak your device, then check it out below:

Remember, the source for the SemiTether package is as follows: http://thebigboss.org/semitether

Apple Airs Commercials Featuring iCloud, Siri, iPhone 4S Camera

With each new product release, Apple launches a whole new advertising campaign around whatever fancy new features have been added, and the iPhone 4S is no exception.
Starting today, Apple is airing three new ads to help spread the word about the “most amazing iPhone yet.” The 30-second spots feature iCloud, Siri, and the supercharged 8 megapixel camera packed into the iPhone 4S. And in typical Apple fashion, we’re not sure where real products end and the hype machine begins…
The iCloud ad revolves around syncing and downloading, with the ad showing off iTunes in the iCloud as well as iWork syncing across iPhones and iPads. Apple is also keen to show off Photo Stream, too, with photos being taken of adorable kids and being instantly beamed back to an iMac.
Magical, indeed.

The second of the three ads shows off Siri, in an unusually muted video. That is, you don’t hear the ad’s voice-over guy until right at the end, with Apple seemingly happy to let Siri do the talking for itself.
All the usual demo material is present: checking a calendar, reading a text message, and asking what the weather will be doing at a random point in time. We’ve all seen it before, but it is the exact kind of thing that will get people interested.

The final ad covers the iPhone 4S’ new 8 megapixel camera, with red-eye reduction and cropping also shown off for good measure.
Apple also points out that perhaps you don’t need a separate camera if you own a 4S. A point that many have made since getting their hands on Apple’s latest iPhone.

Apple’s ads always attract —not that the iPhone 4S has been struggling—and showing Siri off to people that might not already understand it is probably a very good idea.
Now we just wait for the next quarter’s earnings call to see how well these ads have payed off!

Apple Stores Looking to Enable Self-Checkouts Via iOS App

Apple Stores are already considered trendsetters in the retail space. From their awe-inspiring architecture to their product-focused environments, the Cupertino company’s world-wide chain has other retailers turning green with envy.
Now it seems like the Mac-makers are looking to start another fad: self-checkout. No, we’re not talking about those big machines at your local Walmart. We’re talking about customers paying for items using their iPhones without the help of a sales clerk…
MacRumors is reporting that Apple is planning on releasing an update to its Apple Store application that will allow users to purchase accessories in-store without needing to flag down an Apple employee. Here’s how it will work:
“According to our source, self-checkout purchases will be charged via the Apple Store app to the customer’s iTunes Store account. It is not entirely clear what will happen once a user has checked out via the app, although store employees will of course be on the lookout for store visitors walking out with merchandise in hand, as they are already. Customers who have made a purchase through self-checkout will be able to show an emailed receipt to any employee, confirming their purchase.”
Obviously, Apple’s higher-end products won’t be eligible for the service due to being tucked away in the stock room, but accessories and other small purchases will be fair game.
Even current NFC-enabled checkouts generally require the presence of a store employee, so it’ll be interesting to see what Apple’s experience will be like. And with a predicted start date of November 3rd, we may not have to wait long to find out.
Theft concerns aside, Apple’s self-checkout project could be a big hit if it’s successful. The Cupertino company could potentially open the service up to other retailers or even convenience stores, allowing customers to make purchases through their iTunes accounts.
What’s your take on Apple’s self-checkout project?

Apple Purchases Another 3D Mapping Company

Aside from small additions like displaying alternate routes and the Show Traffic option, the Maps application received little attention from Apple during the recent iOS update. Some pundits expected the app to at least receive turn-by-turn directions.
But a revamped Maps app might still be in Apple’s plans. 9to5Mac is reporting that Apple has just quietly acquired “mind-blowing 3D mapping company” C3 Technologies, and that the Cupertino company is looking to take iOS maps to the next level…
The news comes shortly after the company’s website went down in July of this year, spawning tons of speculation. An announcement was made that C3 had indeed been bought-out by a Western-world company, but nothing more was ever revealed.
You might recall that Apple has made similar purchases in the past. Last year the company acquired Poly9, another 3D mapping startup team. And the year before it scooped up Placebase, a firm known for its mapping software.
Just as Apple did with Siri, you can bet that we’ll see the work of these companies eventually make their way into iOS — which is exciting considering some of their talents. Here’s a video of C3 Technologies rendering New York City:

If you recognize C3's work, it’s because it powers Nokia’s popular Ovi Maps. The Finnish handset maker has been praised for its high-powered 3D mapping software. It’ll be interesting to see how their relationship continues post-Apple acquisition.
With three strong mapping firms now in its stable, Apple is definitely setting the stage for something major. As 9to5Mac points out, Apple doesn’t scoop up companies nearly as often as its competitors. But when it does, it has a specific goal for them in mind.

Sync Photos and Video Between iDevices With PhotoSync


While Apple’s Photo Stream is a great way of getting photos to sync across multiple devices, there’s one glaring problem. Photo Stream doesn’t support video, presumably because Apple doesn’t want its servers full of hours and hours of 1080p videos showing cats sleeping.
It makes sense from a technical standpoint, but that doesn’t help you if you need to get a video from one device to another. There’s syncing with iTunes, and doing the iPhoto jig in the hope that everything works as planned, but it’s a pain, and not always practical.
That’s where PhotoSync comes in…
Priced at a reasonable $1.99, PhotoSync fills in the gaps left by Photo Stream by allowing the sharing of video and photos between iOS devices, and even Macs and PCs, wirelessly.

Operation is about as easy as it gets. Set the receiving devices up to be able to accept connections via the app’s settings, and it will show up as a potential destination for others. You can even have PhotoSync send content to web-based services like Flickr and SmugMug, should you wish.
All transfers are done over your Wi-Fi connection, so keep that in mind when moving huge video files between iDevices. If you’re happy with Wi-Fi iTunes syncing, chances are you’ll be fine with this, too. Once you’ve initiated the transfer you can even close the app, with the files continuing to copy in the background.

This is a great little app for getting photos and videos from one iDevice to another. It’s perfect for sharing baby photos and similar memories between iPhones and iPads.
Do you use another app to serve the purpose of Photo Stream on your iPhone?

The Truth About the iPhone 4 Siri Port [Updated]


A few hours ago a video was posted by esteemed jailbreak developer chpwn (Grant Paul) and Steven Troughton-Smith. Multiple stories from different sources have been published on a Siri port for non-iPhone 4S hardware, and this most recent video demonstrates the software running on an iPhone 4 and 4th generation iPod touch.
There have been multiple parties working on a Siri port on and off for weeks now. It’s not a new fact that the Siri UI can be run on non-4S hardware. The real magic happens when Siri is able to talk back to you…


As you can see in the above videos, Steven and Grant have been able to get Siri connecting with Apple’s server. Performance is smooth and Siri responds very quickly.
The first public evidence for a Siri port to the iPhone 4 was posted by Steve Troughton-Smith weeks ago in conjunction with Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac. A second video was posted showing performance enhancements, but Siri would still not connect with the device. Only the Siri UI had been ported, not the full package.
It’s all changed since then.
Any type of Siri port for the public is very much not ready for prime time. There’s still a lot of work to be done.
Update: This article has been heavily amended to better respect all parties involved.

When it Comes to Smartphone Displays, Does Size Matter?

Over the last few years, there’s consistently been one feature about the iPhone I’d hoped Apple would change. Its display size. Say what you want about portability, but a 3.5? screen is far from ideal for any kind of extended web browsing.
Needless to say, the Cupertino company hasn’t touched the iPhone’s screen size, and I’ve always kind of wondered why. Recently I came across an article by Dustin Curtis, a designer, that offers some interesting thoughts on Apple’s reasoning…
In the post, Curtis talks about an epiphany he had while using his recently purchased Samsung Galaxy S II:
“When you first see a phone with a 4-inch or larger screen, it seems like a much better experience. I thought it was a technical decision, and it could be, but since switching to an Android phone — a Samsung Galaxy S II — 15 days ago, I have realized another huge downside of larger screens: when holding the phone with one hand, I can’t reach the other side of the screen with my thumb.”
He goes on to explain that trying to touch the upper right hand of his Galaxy S II’s 4.2? display with one hand is frustrating, and nearly impossible. With his iPhone 4, however, he found that he could reach the other side of the screen without straining.

Several tech writers have picked up on the article, and it has moved them to publish their own opinions. Here’s Marco Arment on the matter:
“As a four-year iPhone user, I’ve never thought, “You know what I don’t like about this phone? The screen’s too small. I’d like to reduce my battery life, and I’d like my phone to protrude from my pocket in a larger and more conspicuous rectangle to achieve a larger screen that I cannot comfortably use one-handed. That would be completely worth it.”
I agree with Arment in the fact that I don’t think I would want my iPhone much bigger than it already is. But I do enjoy the extra screen real estate on my girlfriend’s Droid Bionic when browsing around eBay and other websites.
If you ask me, an iPhone with a 3.7-4.0-inch display would be perfect. Users would enjoy the larger viewing area, and could still comfortably operate the handset with one hand. What’s your idea of the perfect smartphone screen size?

AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon iPhone Plans Compared


As soon as Apple announced October 14th as the release date for the new iPhone 4S on AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint, potential buyers began wondering which carrier would be the right option.
Now that AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint all offering the iPhone, everyone is looking at the pros and cons of each carrier. With that in mind, Macworld has put together a comprehensive comparison of the choices for new iPhone owners on all three US carriers…
The comparison, carried out by Macworld’s Joe Mathis, goes into the differences in pricing and tariff structure across the three carriers now offering the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S to customers.

Sprint’s lowest voice plan is $70, which is considerably more expensive than the base options of $40 for both AT&T and Verizon. But that’s not the whole story, with Sprint offering savings elsewhere.

Family plans are a very similar story. AT&T’s lowest plan comes in at $60 for 550 minutes, while Verizon’s cheapest option is $70 for 700 minutes.
AT&T also offer the same type of plan, too, should AT&T be your carrier of choice for a reason other than cost. Sprint is where things start to get a little expensive, with their base family plan coming in at a whopping $130, although you do get 1,500 minutes. Sprint is still expensive, with both AT&T and Verizon offering 1400 minutes for $90. That’s quite a disparity.

Text messaging plans are where Sprint starts to even the playing field. While AT&T and Verizon both charge 20 cents per message, all messages on Sprint are included in their data plans. Yes, Sprint’s competition does offer bundles of texts at set fees, but when you add those on, the voice plans start to even out slightly.

When it comes to data, Sprint is again the cheapest option, offering unlimited data for just $10 per month. To get the same unlimited bits elsewhere is difficult — as all other carriers no longer offer unlimited data plans.
Tethering options are also available on all three carriers.
Nobody can tell you which carrier is best for you, and the carrier you choose may very well depend on the coverage in your area, rather than price and features. If you’re on a family plan, that could also change your outlook on a new contract, so be sure to check what your current deal offers you before moving.
It’s certainly a minefield out there, but choice is always a good thing.
Let us know what carrier you decided to go with for the iPhone, and why! Are you switching carriers for the iPhone 4S?

Apple Getting Ready to Launch AirPort Utility iOS App?

A screenshot has surfaced of what is apparently an upcoming AirPort Utility app for the iPhone and iPad. As highlighted by TiPB and others, the iOS app would let you configure Apple’s AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme routers without a computer.
It’s unclear as to if Apple will launch an AirPort Utility app alongside iOS 5, but it’s assumed that the app will see the light of day soon…
If Apple offers such an app as an optional download in the App Store, then users who don’t own an AirPort router won’t have to ever see the utility app.
AirPort routers offer speedy wireless connectivity and storage options for home networks. An AirPort iOS app would assumedly allow users to manage their router settings and access stored content from an attached drive.
Would you like to see an AirPort Utility app on the iPhone and iPad?

Steve Jobs Planned Apple’s Next Four Years Of Products Before He Left


With all the changes going on at Apple these days, like Steve Jobs stepping down as CEO and his subsequent passing, there has to be one burning question for those of us who follow the workings of the Cupertino company. What will Apple be like without Jobs?
And if we’re wondering, you can bet that those with a financial stake in the company are also keen to find out how Apple will change over the coming years…
According to one report, many of Apple’s future products have had the Steve Jobs seal of approval placed on them, with the Daily Mail discovering that Jobs personally oversaw development of Apple’s next four years of upcoming products:
“He has also been overseeing the development of the delayed iCloud project, which will allow Apple users to store their music, photos and other documents remotely and masterminding updated versions of the iPod, iPad, iPhone and MacBooks, ensuring at least four years’ worth of products are in the pipeline, according to Apple sources.”
While it’s clear that Apple’s products to this point have not been the sole result of Jobs and his passion, few can doubt that his foresight and design taste have been integral to the way Apple continues to gain mind and market share in the minds of consumers.
Apple will now be relying on those Jobs handpicked to carry the company forward, with people like Scott Forstall, Phil Schiller, and their teams all acting under the supervision of new CEO Tim Cook.
All eyes will be on the Apple executive team over the coming years. Let’s hope they’re up to the job.

Tweet Speaker for iPhone Lets You Listen to Your Twitter Feed


The developers at App Cubby have created a beautiful app called Tweet Speaker to let you listen to your Twitter timeline.
This unique Twitter client effectively turns your Twitter feed into a radio station for your listening pleasure. Tweets are read aloud in succession. We may have found the perfect Twitter app for driving and leisurely catching up on tweets…
Following the announcement of Apple’s own “Siri” voice technology, it’s interesting to see an app like Tweet Speaker take a different approach to the all-too-familiar genre of Twitter apps. Like Siri, Tweet Speaker does the work for you — only in this case it’s limited to your Twitter account.
What’s great about Tweet Speaker is that it actually works. There are tons of voice-related apps in the App Store that can be a hit or miss, but Tweet Speaker definitely finds the sweet spot.

Once you’ve authenticated your Twitter account, Tweet Speaker will start queuing up tweets to read. The app is super easy to use, and there’s very minimal configuration required. There is support for Tweet Marker (a fantastic service for keeping your Twitter timeline position synced across different apps). You can also send links to Instapaper, which I love. AirPlay support lets you send audio to your big speakers when you’re at home.
The radio dial at the bottom of the app acts as your reference for where you are in your Twitter stream. You can select your main timeline, replies, or lists and then hit play to have Tweet Speaker read your tweets aloud as they come in.

The voice for Tweet Speaker isn’t customizable, but App Cubby promises that more voices are coming in future updates. For now, one voice will have to do.
Playback worked pretty well in testing. Tweet Speaker will fetch the titles for links and correctly dictate usernames and hashtags most of the time. Listening to your tweets isn’t something you’ll probably won’t to do all of the time, but every now and then it can be helpful — especially if you have a refined list of Twitter accounts you follow that you want to make sure you stay on top of.
As a Twitter client, Tweet Speaker offers a nice amount of features while keeping its focus on the voice aspect. You can unfollow/follow, reply, retweet, and swipe through tweets manually in the card-like interface above the radio dial. Everything works very nicely.
Tweet Speaker is available for $2.99 in the App Store. It’s probably not for everyone, but if having your tweets read aloud sounds like something you may be interested in, definitely give this app a try.
Let us know what you think of Tweet Speaker in the comments below!

i0n1c Confirms iOS 5 Untether is “Covered”

With iOS 5 scheduled to drop this Wednesday, the question in the back of everyone’s mind (at least here at iDB anyways) is when will it be fully jailbroken? A tethered jailbreak is already available for the new software, but it’s just not the same.
A tethered jailbreak is inconvenient, it means you have to reconnect your iDevice to your computer after every restart. Luckily it sounds like we won’t have to wait long for an untether to hit web, as i0n1c has confirmed it’s being handled…
If you don’t know i0n1c, you’re likely familiar with his work. The infamous hacker was responsible for the iOS 4.3.1, 4.3.2, and 4.3.3 untether. Earlier today, i0n1c told the Twitter world that the iOS 5 untether was “covered.”
“As far as I know iOS 5 untether is covered by other people already. Guess who :p”
Although he wouldn’t confirm it, i0n1c was likely referring to the Chronic Dev team, the group of hackers responsible for GreenPoisOn. The team recently announced that it’s found multiple exploits for the iPad 2 and the upcoming iPhone.
Regardless of who is working on it, an untether appears to be in the pipeline. And with developers pushing out updates to their jailbreak tweaks and utilities, things are starting to look good for early iOS 5 adopters. Stay tuned.

SBMusic: Add iPod Playlists to Your Home Screen

Want a quick way to play your favorite playlists without venturing into your iPod app? Then check out SBMusic, it allows you to create bookmarks to your favorite playlists, and save them on your Home screen.
SBMusic is a jailbreak tweak that not only allows you to create custom bookmarks, but custom app icons as well. It’s a great tool for those of you who want a quick and easy way to play your favorite tunes…

In theory, you can create an infinite amount of playlist bookmarks, all with custom app icons. Considering that the app icons are nothing more than Home screen bookmarks, it’s easy to delete them individually once you’ve moved on to something else.
SBMusic will set you back $0.99 on Cydia. Let me know what you think about it in the comments.

SBSettings Beta for iOS 5 Exposed On Video – New Features In Tow [Video Walkthrough]

Without a doubt, SBSettings is the de facto must have tweak among all jailbreak tweaks for the iPhone. I think if you took a poll of 100 people, 90 of them would claim that SBSettings is the one tweak that they could not live without.
With that being said, imagine my excitement when I heard that the iOS 5 beta version of SBSettings was ready for testing! I’m happy to report that it comes with tons of new settings, and beautifully integrates into iOS 5's Notification Center.
Check inside for a full video walkthrough of the new and improved SBSettings…

Notification Center, and traditional Activator invocation. Both can be enabled simultaneouslyNew themes, including HD themes for Retina devicesCustom Notification Center style optionsAll of the traditional SBSettings features you’ve grown to love
There are a few bugs that need to be squashed, mainly revolving around the power options, and the Notification Center dock option. But this is beta, and bugs are expected.
As of now, SBSettings is totally usable and functional on iOS 5 GM, and I highly recommend it to anyone running a jailbroken iOS 5 installation.
To access the beta version of SBSettings, add the following repo to Cydia: http://thebigboss.org/ios5beta/
What do you think about the new SBSettings? Are you as excited as I am? Let me know in the comments section below.

Gameloft Hosts Columbus Day Sale, 7 Major Titles Lowered to $0.99


A little over 500 years ago, Christopher Columbus set sail on a journey that incidentally landed him and his crew off the coast of the United States. Though the details are kind of sketchy, we credit Columbus with the discovery of the Americas.
And for that reason, every year on the second Monday in October folks in the U.S. celebrate Columbus Day. But perhaps more importantly, the holiday gives game-makers a reason to host a sale. And Gameloft has gone all out for this one…
As TouchArcade reports, Gameloft has substantially dropped the price on some of its major titles. 7 of the company’s games have been marked down to $0.99, including the recently released 9MM.
Here’s a list of the games on sale:
9MM
Eternal Legacy
Eternal Legacy HD
Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus
Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus HD
Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden
The Settlers HD
The sale ends Monday, so if you’re interested in any of the above games, make sure you act fast. All of the above titles typically retail for $5 or more, and you’ll rarely find games of this kind of quality under a buck.
What do you think? Deal, or no deal?

How to Get Settings for iOS 5 Jailbreak Tweaks [Updated]


Update: Video and download pulled. Apparently this file is not officially approved by the developer, and it was stolen/illegal/unlicensed. I apologize for the inconvenience, but we don’t want to wrong the hard working members of the community. I hope you understand.
One of the main reasons that people have shied away from the iOS 5 jailbreak, besides the obvious tethered nature, is the lack of settings for their favorite tweaks. This makes their favorite tweaks severely maimed, or utterly useless.
The following tutorial shows how to update your PreferenceLoader which will in turn enable settings for tweaks on iOS 5. Keep in mind that an update PreferenceLoader should be coming anyway, with the release of iOS 5 on October 12th. For those who just can’t bare to wait any longer, this tutorial is for you…
Note: Your device must be jailbroken in order to do this. You can use SSH, but it’s easier to use a file utility like iPhone Explorer if you have it.
Step 1: Download PreferenceLoader.dylib
Step 2: Navigate to /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries on your iDevice
Step 3: Rename PreferenceLoader.dylib to PreferenceLoader.dylib.old
Step 4: Copy Downloaded PreferenceLoader.dylib (from step 1) into the /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries directory
Step 5: Respring, and check your Settings app. A good tweak to test with is CleanStatus. I’ve verified it works personally.
Generally only advanced users would want to do this, and you will know how to transfer files between your PC or your iDevice. You can also use iFile to copy the file over, or whatever other means of file transfer that you have.
Was this tutorial able to help you get your jailbreak tweak settings? Let us know how you fared in the comments below.
