The App Store was updated with a brand new layout for search results in iOS 6 beta. The change impacts both the iPhone and the iPad.
The card based layout is quite a departure from the current search results on iOS 5, as you'll see in our hands-on video.
Filippo Bigarella recently pushed out an update to CleverPin — the jailbreak tweak that automatically unlocks an iOS device when it detects that it's connected to a friendly WiFi network.
To celebrate, he's decided to give away a copy of the tweak to 5 of our readers. What can you can expect from CleverPin? How do you win your own free copy? Check inside for the details...
Recently, I've been interested in factory unlocking my still on-contract iPhone 4S. I'd heard of various services over the past few months, but never really investigated them until recently.
After asking around on Twitter, I stumbled upon Cellular Medic — one of many services available online that claims to be able to factory unlock the iPhone for a fee.
I was pleasantly surprised that the entire unlock process took a mere 10 minutes. I went from an iPhone 4S locked to AT&T, to a permanently unlocked iPhone 4S that's usable on virtually any GSM carrier. Take a look inside for a video walkthrough documenting the experience...
Guilty. That was the verdict handed down by the court in the recent Apple vs Samsung legal battle. Samsung was accused of unabashedly copying Apple's design over the years, and the jurors agreed.
Samsung now has to pay over one billion dollars in damages to Apple, along with the threat that some of their products may be banned.
Obviously, this is music to the ears of many Apple fans, but the question stands to be asked — was it fair? What do you think?
Just a bit ago, I reviewed App Switcher Status Bar — a jailbreak tweak that places the iPhone's status bar inside of the app switcher.
The purpose of that tweak is to make the status bar available while the app switcher is open, since it normally disappears when doing so.
App Switcher Status Bar is an interesting take on the solution, but it stands to be asked: Why not just make the status bar stay in its normal place when opening the app switcher? And that's likely how Status Bar Switcher was born...
When you open up the iPhone's app switcher, the status bar fades from view. This means that you can't view vital statistics like the time, signal strength, and battery life while the app switcher is open.
Now obviously, most people aren't going to keep their status bars open long enough for this to have a negative impact on the experience, but in some cases, it may be desirable to have access to the status bar while the app switcher is open.
That's where the clumsily named App Switcher Status Bar comes into play. It places the status bar directly in the app switcher, so that you can always see the iPhone's vital statistics, even when switching apps.
I've always found it rather peculiar that there is no native timer built into iOS' stock Camera app, but leave it to the jailbreak community to come through with a solution.
CamTime is a simple jailbreak tweak that places a timer directly to the left of the shutter button. It's not the prettiest tweak in the world, but it can get the job done in a pinch.

Dash — the app switcher enhancing jailbreak tweak from SBCoders — is now available for public download on Cydia.
As we previewed a little over a week ago, Dash allows you to replace iOS' stock app switcher for a full screen switcher reminiscent of WebOS.
The tweak works on both the iPhone and the iPad, and features a variety of interesting animations that can be easily switched using the Settings app. Dash can be purchased for $1.99 on Cydia's ModMyi repo. If you decide to take it for a spin, be sure to let us know what you think about it in the comment section.
Even if this tweak turned out to be a dud, you have to give respect where respect is due when it comes to its clever name. ScrollThindicator, as its title ever-so slyly alludes to, is a new jailbreak tweak that trims the fat off of iOS' scroll bars.
True, there's no real functionality to be gained from using ScrollThindicator, but it is an aesthetic change that many might enjoy. Take a gander at our hands-on video inside for brief overview of how it looks.
When we first saw the message asking us to contact AT&T before we could enable FaceTime over Cellular, we knew something was up. Now the cat has been let out of the bag.
As it turns out, AT&T won't be charging for FaceTime over Cellular as if it were a separate feature, but it will require you to switch to their new shared data plan.
What do you think about this?
When it comes to jailbreak tweaks and apps, there are a few names, that when mentioned, instantly make you think of quality. IntelliBorn may come to mind, Ryan Petrich certainly deserves a nod, and of course you can't forget about folks like chpwn and Aaron Ash.
Obviously, there are a few others who are worthy of being included in the same conversation, including SBCoders — a developer that has recently created a significant amount of high quality tweaks.
Hot off the heels of Aero, Deck, and Color Banner, comes Dash — a new take on the app switcher, and one that is sure to turn a few heads. Take a look at our full video walkthrough for a hands-on preview...
Now that the dust has settled from the revelation that Apple has done away with the stock YouTube app, what are your thoughts?
We've polled you about your YouTube app usage, but now we want some in-depth insight on your feelings about YouTube's removal from iOS 6...
