  • RedSn0w 0.9.8b7 For Windows And Mac Released, Brings Support For Updated iPad iOS 5 BETA 6 IPSW

    The iPhone Dev Team has released RedSn0w 0.9.8b7 today which brings support for the updated iOS 5 BETA 6 IPSW file for the iPad 1. The update brings a few minor changes which we’ll discuss after the break

    RedSn0w 0.9.8b7 was released mainly to bring support for the iOS BETA 6 IPSW of which Apple didn’t change the version number or filename, so basically BETA 7 of RedSnow 0.9.8 can handle both the old and new versions of the firmware. The Dev Team also added strict support for iOS 4.3.5 so now you can’t point RedSn0w to IPSW files of 4.29 and 4.3.4.

    Update #7: Apple updated the iPad1 iOS5b6 IPSW without changing its version number or filename, so we’re releasing redsn0w 0.9.8b7 to handle both the original and changed IPSW. We’ve also added explicit support for a tethered 4.3.5/4.2.10 jailbreak (instead of pointing at the 4.3.4/4.2.9 IPSWs) and fixed a 4.2.10 problem.

    A TechUnwrapped reader was going through the new Twitter framework in iOS 5 and stumbled upon a reference images that had the resolution 2.48×1536, exactly double that of the current iPads.

     

    [box] As I was going through the iOS SDK I came across some images in the new Twitter .framework. The resolution appears to be 1,536 x 2,048.

    Apparently the Twitter.framework is the only framework I found to have these enormous images.[/box]

    Previously, images were found in iBooks that were also twice the resolution of the normal ones.

  • Apple Proposes Plan for an Even Smaller SIM Card Standard

    Last year, with the advent of the iPad and the iPhone 4, Apple introduced a new SIM-Card standard – the Micro-SIM. Reuters reports that this time around Apple has submitted a new requirement to (European telecoms standards body) ETSI for a smaller SIM form factor, even smaller than the current micro-SIM used in the iPad 1, iPad 2 and iPhone 4.

    “They have done that through the standardization route, through ETSI, with the sponsorship of some major mobile operators, Orange being one of them,” said Anne Bouverot, Orange’s head of mobile services. She further went on to say that the process would take time but the devices supporting this new format could be out as early as next year.
