  • Jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 tethered on iPhone and iPod using Redsn0w

    Jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 using this easy guide. Apple update the iOS software to 6.0.1 yesterday to fix some minor bugs. Unfortunately as it has always been, with each new version of iOS, the jailbreak process has to be redone every time.

    Fortunately iOS 6.0.1 can now be jailbroken. Unfortunately it is currently only for iDevices that run the A4 or lower chipset. That means iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, new iPod Touch and iPad are out ( any device with A5, A5X, A6 or A6X). Furthermore this jailbreak is tethered which means every time you reboot your device you’ll need to connect it to your PC or Mac.

    Step 1- Update your device to iOS 6.0.1

    Step 2- Download iOS 6.0 from the links below:

    Step 3- Download Redsn0w for Mac or Windows

    Step 4- Open Redsn0w and click on Extras –> Select IPSW. Select the firmware you downloaded in step 2. After it has been identified by Redsn0w click the back button to go back to the main screen

    Step 5- Click jailbreak and select Cydia. Follow the instructions to put your device into DFU mode. After the jailbreak is done click “Autoboot this device when it connects in DFU mode” which will put your device in tethered mode

    That’s it. After you’re done with step 5 your device will be jailbroken.

  • AT&T releases sales figures for iPhone for Q3 2012

    AT&T is the biggest cellular network in USA. It was also the first network that got the iPhone under its lineup way back in 2007. After that both have had a special relation with the iPhone consistently being a top seller. Today AT&T has released their sales figures for iPhone for Q3 2012 and as expected, they make for a special reading.

    AT&T activated a total of 6.1 million smartphones this quarter. From that 6.1, 4.7 million are iPhones. That’s a staggering 77% of their total activations. As a comparison Verizon had a 46% iPhone share showing again that AT&T and iPhone gel well together. AT&T also said most of these sales went to existing customers and only a handful were new connections.

    As for the iPhone5, AT&T hinted at an impressive 1.3 million units sold. This is double to what Verizon managed, which was only 650,000 in this quarter. While many may call the sales figures for iPhone for Q3 2012 under par, it’s important to note that iPhone 5 has been plagued with various issues, ranging from built issues, to Maps and purple lens flare in the camera. What will be interesting to see are the Q4 sales figures for iPhone 5 since it will include the lucrative holiday season as well as the new Nokia Lumia lineup.

  • Apple Won’t Be Launching The iPhone 5 In September Afterall, New Report Suggest October Release

    There has been a lot of contradiction as far as the iPhone 5′s (4S, 4GS or whatever it’s gonna be called) release date is concerned. We’ve narrowed it down to the months of September or October.

    AllThingD quoted a source which knows highly about Apple’s plans.

    “I don’t know why AT&T’s calling for all hands on deck those weeks, but it’s not for an iPhone launch,” a source familiar with Apple’s plans said.

    So when can we expect the company to uncrate the iPhone 5?

    “October,” the source said, while declining to offer a hard-launch date. Other sources said it will be later in the month, rather than earlier.

    The source failed to provide any details about the next iPhone’s design or internals but we’ve come to know from the supply chain that the phone will feature the iPad’s dual core A5 processor, a dual GSM/CDMA baseband radio and a 8MP camera will supposedly 1080p video recording.

  • iPhone 5 Prototypes Received By Carriers, Production To Start Shortly

    According to a new report it seems that partner carriers with Apple have started receiving iPhone 5 prototype sets for testing. This is for last minute tests so that the models are in pristine working conditions before full productions starts.

    The source of this report is Charles Arthur editor at The Guardian who claims that sources state the next iPhone’s boxes being received by carriers all around the world.

    my carrier sources tell me that the boxes in which the new iPhone hardware is encased have been transported to carriers for testing. This is an important step in the release cycle for any phone.

    It’s very high security, as you could guess; my understanding is that barely anyone inside the carriers gets to open those boxes

    With just a month or two to go to it’s pretty much expected release date it couldn’t be anything other than the next iPhone in the black boxes from Apple.. could it?

  • Apple Re-releases iPhone Ads With New Just One More Thing That Makes An iPhone, An iPhone Ads

    Remember those if you don’t have an iPhone ads? Of course you do who doesn’t? Well the tagline was kinda rude so Apple re-released them today.

    The ads mainly focus on the distinguishing features of the iPhone, previous ads were about the App Store, FaceTime and AirPlay. At the end of the ad the narrator would say “If you don’t have an iPhone, well, you don’t have an iPhone!” followed by tears running down the eyes of people who don’t own iPhones.

    The ad’s description is as follow:

    If you don’t have an iPhone, you don’t have the App Store. So you don’t have the world’s largest selection of apps; that are this easy to find and this easy to download right to your phone. So it can be almost anything… like a boarding pass. Or do almost anything… like pay for your coffee.

    The App Store – just one more thing that makes an iPhone, an iPhone.

    And now the ad itself:
