As expected, the Dev Team has released RedSn0w 0.9.14b1 tonight. The new version of the jailbreak tool features the highly-anticipated ability to downgrade the baseband on the iPhone 3G(S).
Unlocked 3G(S) users stuck on baseband 06.15 can now downgrade to 05.13.04. This will restore GPS functionality, as well as allow you to use stock IPSWs again. Full details after the break...
Mozilla, a non-profit organization behind the Firefox browser, is prototyping a brand new web browser for Apple's iPad.
It's called Junior and aims to replace a "miserable Safari experience" with "something entirely new", an app which looks to "reinvent the browser for a new form factor"...
As expected, Apple took the wraps off the latest iteration of its mobile operating system last week. And although it may not be quite the upgrade that its predecessor was, iOS 6 still includes a ton of new features and other enhancements.
We've covered a number of these additions here on iDB already, but it's hard to keep up with each and every new discovery. So, we've decided to put together a census of all of the new changes. Here's iDB's ultimate list of new iOS 6 features...
With the release of the highly-anticipated 06.15 baseband downgrade likely just around the corner, we figured this would be a great time to show off this video.
The clip is of Dev Team's MuscleNerd explaining the evolution of the iPhone baseband, and corresponding unlocks, at this year's Hack In The Box conference...
Microsoft summoned select members of the press for a media event tomorrow in Los Angeles.
The company is widely expected to respond to the iPad challenge by announcing its own tablet powered by the upcoming Windows 8 operating system.
We're wondering about your assessment of the situation: should Apple be worried or is it already too late for the Windows maker to make a substantial dent in the tablet space?
A new week is coming, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on what happened last week. If you think you may have missed a few of the top stories from last week, don't sweat it, we've got you covered.
We've gathered the top 10+ most popular stories from iDB last week for you to check out. As always, make sure that you're friends with us on Facebook, Google+, and that you are following us on Twitter...
Digital home control may be the way of the future, but much of the current technology is still out of reach for the average consumer. It's expensive, complicated, and not very user-friendly. But there are companies looking to change that.
Take the Elphi, for example. This new "smart plug" is looking to change the way we look at home automation. Simply plug the Elphi into an AC outlet, plug in any AC-powered device to the Elphi, and open the accompanying iPhone app...
Last week, some amazing renderings of — what much of the tech world is assuming to be — the next generation iPhone surfaced on the net. They looked so good, in fact, that a lot of us wondered if they were the real deal.
But alas, they weren't. As we later found out, the images were just a gorgeous 3D art project by designer Martin Hayjek. And today, he's back with some even better looking renderings of the new iPhone in white...
The App Store hasn't had any shortage of knockoff apps since its creation a few years ago. When popular games such as Angry Birds or Cut the Rope make their way up the charts, you can expect a few unscrupulous developers to rush and try to get their copycat app approved and available in the App Store in order to make a quick buck.
Surfing on the popularity of Cydia, the App Store for jailbreak apps and tweaks, one shady developer thought that releasing an app called Cydia and making it available to over 300 million iDevices (no jailbreak required, mind you) would be a good idea...
You know we're big fans of Kickstarter projects here at iDB. While some of them are kinda wacky and don't bring anything new to the table, others are quite innovative and make me go "I need one of these." That's exactly the case of Vavo, a universal mount and stand for iPhone and other devices that recently launched on Kickstarter.
The folks behind Vavo aren't stranger to Kickstarter or iDB. A couple months ago, they successfully launched Foco, a sound-enhancing device for the iPad, with a little help from iDB.
Today, we sit down with Adewale Adeluyi-Adelusi and Bojan Smiljanic from Unique Design Solutions and ask them more details about Vavo...
Those of you longing for more news regarding the ongoing court battle between Apple and Kodak over image patents will be happy to hear that we've just received an update on the case.
It appears that the judge, today, has denied the struggling camera company's request to fast-track the trial, meaning that Kodak could go broke before a decision is reached in court...
Still looking for new iOS 6 features? Then you're in luck, because we've just come across one that you might not have seen yet: Government Alerts.
That's right, it looks like the latest iteration of Apple's mobile OS includes built-in support for AMBER alerts, and other emergency notifications...
