How to jailbreak iOS 5.1 with Redsn0w 0.9.10b6

Jeff Benjamin ∙ March 8, 2012

iOS 5.1 has finally dropped, and for the most part we totally recommend staying away from the update if you care anything about your jailbreak, as does the iPhone Dev Team.

That being said, for those with older A4 devices, it is possible to enjoy a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1 and still downgrade back to previous firmwares if you have your SHSH blobs for those firmwares.

With A5 devices like the iPad 2, and the iPhone 4S, it is impossible at the moment to downgrade to any older iOS 5.x firmware, even if you have your SHSH blobs saved. So don't upgrade to 5.1, especially if you care about your iPhone 4S jailbreak.

If you have an iPhone 4, iPod touch, iPhone 3GS, or original iPad, then check inside for a tutorial on how to perform a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1...

Jake Smith ∙ March 7, 2012

The new iPad features a new camera system from Apple, who detailed the new camera at its media event that took place today. The iPad features a 5-megapixel camera, which includes advanced optics, auto-focus, and white balance. The upgraded iSight camera also features 1080p video recording.

While we're going to have to wait until March 16th to take our own photos with the iPad's camera, Apple has posted sample photos (and video) taken with the new iPad on its website. And of course, the photos look stunning...

However despite what you might think, this isn't the A5 processor that Apple has included in the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S...

Well, the fireworks are over, but the fun stuff is just beginning. Like always, Apple has posted the very first TV spot for their new product on their website, and it promotes the iPad's most compelling new feature.

Indeed, the Retina display plays front man in Apple's new TV spot, as it should; it looks stunning. I think they did a really good job of showing off how incredible the display looks.

Why the new iPad is called “iPad”

Sébastien Page ∙ March 7, 2012

iPad HD, iPad 3. Those were a couple names the tech world speculated about before today's announcement. All of them were wrong as we quickly realized when Tim Cook unveiled "the new iPad" earlier today.

But why is the new iPad simply called iPad? Couldn't they call it the iPad 3 as good common sense suggested?

Here’s how the iOS 5.1 Lock screen camera works

Jeff Benjamin ∙ March 7, 2012

Arguably the biggest change to iOS 5.1 when compared with its predecessors is the Lock screen camera functionality.

Instead of double pressing the Home button to reveal the camera icon on your Lock screen, the camera icon is a permanent fixture.

Revealing the actual camera also works quite differently than in times past. Check out our video walkthrough of the new iOS 5.1 Lock screen camera functions inside...

Hands on with the new Apple TV interface [Video]

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated March 12, 2012

The Apple TV received an update to its interface, shortly after today's iPad media event.

The interface, while nice at first glance, does little more than spiffy up the Apple TV's Home screen. Underneath the friendly bubble based interface, you'll find the same text-based menus of old.

It's basically just a shiny coat of new paint on top of the Apple TV's plain jane UI. It's certainly not a sole reason to purchase an Apple TV, or negate your jailbreak just to enjoy the new UI...

iOS 5.1 turns your iPhone 4S into an iPhone 4G

Jake Smith ∙ March 7, 2012

If you're not worried about your jailbreak, we're assuming you've already installed the iOS 5.1 update that was just released this afternoon. iOS 5.1 adds some great features like Siri support for Japanese users, a new camera app for iPad, and a new camera shortcut.

The new update also adds a 4G indicator to the AT&T version of the iPhone 4S. While it doesn't truly support 4G, AT&T can call the iPhone 4S a 4G device because it supports HSPA+ networks up to 16 megabits per second...
