Yesterday, Apple released iOS 4.3.5. The update fixed a security vulnerability with certificate validation. If you jailbreak and use UltraSn0w, stay away from this update. But if you are a Gevey SIM user, we have some good news.
Even though we previously reported that Apple blocked the Gevey SIM in iOS 5 Beta 2 and above, the Gevey SIM works with iOS 4.3.5… Read More
Did you know we have forums on iDB? Yes, we have a place where anyone can create a thread, ask questions, reply to others, or just share thoughts about iOS-related topics. Admittedly, I don’t spend much time there myself, but that might change because we have a great mod called Hanybv making sure the iDB forums are a nice place to hangout.
Every week, we’re going to highlight some of the best forum threads. Make sure to check them out as they might be helpful to you… Read More
Well that didn’t take long now, did it?
The much-anticipated and apparently leaked Facebook iPad app’s life was short lived, with TechCrunch reporting that the social networking giant has already blocked use of the app, using the power of magic remotely.
Update: It’s working again! Read More
Following the release of iOS 4.3.5 this morning, we issued our usual warning about staying away from the latest firmware so that you don’t lose your jailbreak or unlock.
This warning is still in effect for those who don’t want a tethered jailbreak. For the rest of you who don’t mind plugging your iDevice in your computer every time you have to reboot, the word on the street is that RedSn0w can jailbreak iOS 4.3.5… Read More
With the release of iOS 4.3.5 and 4.3.10 earlier today, I think it would be safe to remind you to stay away from the “update” button if you care about your jailbreak or unlock.
If you run a stock iPhone or iPad then go ahead and update to the latest firmware. But if, like most iDB readers, you heavily rely on a jailbreak/unlock, make sure you do not update… Read More
As part of work force restructuring, BlackBerry maker Research In Motion is set to axe 2,000 staff. In a press release today, the Canadian company cited rapid payroll growth over the last five years as the reason for the layoffs.
RIM’s BlackBerry sales have been been on the slide of late, and analysts have been concerned about the company’s performance already, and this round of layoffs will do little to stave off the vultures… Read More
Apptivator…hmm, nice play on words there, if I must say so myself.
Wordplay aside, Apptivator isn’t just a cute name; it’s a fantastic jailbreak tweak that adds depth to the still-useful, but long in the tooth, Activator.
Activator is the staple jailbreak tweak that allows you to perform actions on your iPhone using a variety of methods from swipes of the status bar, to double taps on the Home button.
It’s an infinitely useful tweak that many other tweaks rely on. Apptivator is sort of like a plug-in to Activator — it allows you to invoke Activator actions simply by double-tapping an app icon of your choice.
Check inside for a video explanation and demonstration of Apptivator… Read More
Google Books is the first major app to be booted from the App Store for not complying with Apple’s latest in-app purchases policy. Apple’s new rules, which went into affect on June 30, state that no app can provide a link to purchasing additional content outside of Apple’s ecosystem.
Unfortunately, Google decided not to remove the link to its own eBooks store from its app, and it is no longer available as a result.
Google’s app first hit the App Store in December, and along with Amazon’s Kindle, it’s one of the major rivals to Apple’s own iBookstore. However, whereas Amazon’s Kindle and a number of other applications have been updated to comply with Apple’s terms, Google has so far decided not to bother… Read More
As we inch closer to August and then September, expect an influx of iPhone 5-related rumors. Not only is the gossip common for online tech blogs, but hoards of stock holders and consumers with eligible upgrades want to know when Apple’s next smartphone will arrive.
Well, folks placing their bets on the new device dropping in September may want to double down. We’ve already heard today that Apple is readying themselves for a September launch, and now BGR has just confirmed the same thing with AT&T stores… Read More
