Apple seeded the first beta of iOS 6.1 to developers last week. The firmware should be the next update we see for iOS, and we're expecting it to include at least a handful of new features.
In fact, we've already found a couple of new additions in the beta, including changes in the Maps app and new Lock screen music controls. And another discovery was made last night...
While Apple offers unlocked iPhone 5s in Canada and other countries, it has yet to give buyers inside the US that option. So unless you go through a third party vendor, you can't get an unlocked iPhone 5 here in the States.
That could be changing in the near future though. Purported prices for unlocked versions of the new handset have been discovered hidden on Apple's US website, which could mean that they're preparing to roll them out...
Hot on the heels of the iPad mini being jailbroken, well-known developer and iOS hacker Chpwn has announced that he has hacked his iPad 4. Both tablets officially went on sale last Friday.
As Chpwn points out, Cydia doesn't look any different on the fourth generation iPad than it did on its predecessor. But the fact that it's been jailbroken is actually pretty significant...
The popular SHSH blob-saver TinyUmbrella received an update today. Notcom, the developer, added support to the utility for the newly-released iOS 6.0.1 firmware, and both the fourth generation iPad and iPad mini...
Good news for those of you who managed to score an iPad mini during this sellout weekend, Apple has posted the full-length user guide for the new tablet online.
Obviously, since the mini is so similar to its larger sibling, it's not going to take seasoned iPad users long to get accustomed it. But since Apple only includes brief "getting started" pamphlets with the device, it wouldn't hurt to bookmark the actual manual for future reference...
The iPad mini officially launched on Friday, and much like the online pre-order sale, it looks like initial stock has gone rather quickly. We've heard several reports now that many retailers are sold out of the 8-inch tablet.
But don't worry, if you haven't gotten your hands on a mini yet, Apple just opened up a new option that could allow you to get the slate next-day. That's right, you can now reserve the iPad mini for in-store personal pickup...
The iPad mini went on sale around the world on Friday, and though the official numbers aren't in yet, it appears to be selling rather well. This in spite of its lack of a Retina display, and its higher-than-average price tag.
In fact, Apple's had to defend the mini's pricing a couple of times now, claiming that its profit margins on the device are lower than on any of its other products. And according to a new teardown, that seems to be the case...
It's only been about 24 hours since the iPad mini was officially released to the public, and it looks like it's already been jailbroken. Earlier this morning, MuscleNerd tweeted the above screen shot of him gaining root access to the new tablet. More details after the break...

In an attempt to get a handle on what kind of people are out buying the iPad mini today, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster has been out and about interviewing purchasers of the tablet.
As you might expect, more than half of the early mini adopters that he talked to already owned a larger iPad. But somewhat surprisingly, more than 75% of them plan on keeping it...
Talk about timing. As Apple's latest tablet, the 4th generation iPad, officially goes on sale today, Google has lifted its embargo, giving early Nexus 10 holders the green light to post their reviews.
Google announced the 10-inch slate on Monday, and with its 2,560x1,600 display, 1.7GHz dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM, it's said to be a serious iPad contender. But what did reviewers think?
Once Microsoft unveiled its Surface tablet, its first foray into designing its own mobile hardware, this summer, you had to imagine that a Redmond-built smartphone wouldn't be far behind.
And sure enough, according to a new report from a highly regarded news outlet, the Windows company is currently working with suppliers in Asia to test its own smartphone design...
