For those of you waiting for an iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak, we've got good news and bad news.
The good news is that skilled hacker pod2g is working hard and making definite progress on an iPhone 4S untether. The bad news is that he's hit a stumbling block on his way to finding a solution...
Welcome to our tweaks of the week. Last week we covered Siri Proxy plugin tutorials, jailbreak Tweaks for power users, and much, much more in high definition video.
Like usual, please make sure to spread our iPhone, iPad, and iOS video guidance by sharing our posts on Twitter and Facebook.
As promised, a new and improved version of RedSn0w was unleashed just a few moments ago, and one of its primary features is the ability to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 outright without the assistance of any additional firmware.
This makes for one of the easiest jailbreak methods possible for iOS 5.0.1. Check inside for a video walkthrough of the jailbreak process, along with a brief tutorial...
The Dev Team has released RedSn0w beta 9 for Mac and Windows. The jailbreak tool has been updated to offer full support for users that are stuck on iOS 5.0.1.
Like all previous releases for iOS 5, this jailbreak is a tethered one. The Chronic Dev Team's pod2g is actively working on an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.
It's finally here. After what seemed like an infinite beta test, biteSMS 6.0 has hit Cydia for public download.
With it comes all of the features you've come to know and love, plus a few surprises and UI enhancements. Best of all, it's a free download if you've purchased an older version of biteSMS. Check out our video coverage inside...
Rumors of a secret Apple TV set project have been really heating up over the past few months. Word on the street has been that the iPhone-makers are looking to jump into the TV-making business, and the company's first entry could revolutionize the industry.
We've heard a few whispers regarding the set's features, including multiple screen sizes ranging from 32-inches to 55-inches, Siri voice control, and deep AirPlay integration. And now we have even more details thanks to a report by The Wall Street Journal.
Since Apple released iOS 5, users have been running out of reasons to jailbreak their devices. The software update replaced several tweaks and utilities that were only available to jailbreakers in previous versions of iOS.
So, why are people still jailbreaking iOS 5? A major reason is for the ability to customize the Notification Center with widgets and system shortcuts. But you may not even have to jailbreak for that anymore, thanks to a new app called Quickpick.
Facebook may have only just launched its brand new Timeline feature to the vast majority of its 800+ million users, but that hasn't stopped the social network giant from being uncharacteristically quick to update its mobile apps.
Facebook has pushed its latest update to its universal iOS app, but the Timeline feature is currently only available as part of the iPhone and iPod touch version of the app. Facebook noted in the app's change log that the iPad app will get Timeline soon.
It is also worth noting that the biggest part of this update, the highly-anticpated Timeline view, will not show up in the updated app unless you have already activated it on your account from Facebook's website.
Even though the feature is still in beta, Apple has been showcasing Siri in its TV ads since the iPhone 4S came out. The reason behind this is that Siri is probably the main selling point for Apple's latest iPhone.
In a new TV ad that has started airing today, we see Santa Claus himself using Siri to help him go through his busy day and night. It's cute. It's funny. It's yet another Apple commercial that hits right on target...
Spotfb is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to launch different sections of the official Facebook app by means of predefined Spotlight commands.
All you need to do is swipe over to your Spotlight page, type the command, and tap return. It'll then launch the specific Facebook page that pertains to the command that you typed.
Honestly, we're not sure who would be willing to use such a tweak; it'd be much faster to just launch the app and venture to your desired section, wouldn't it?
We've covered it in the past, but GridTab for Safari was recently updated with iOS 5 compatibility, so we thought it was a great time to bring you a video walkthrough of this exceptional tweak.
The purpose of GridTab is simple — to improve the tabbed browsing experience in Mobile Safari. Does it achieve its goal in doing so? Check inside for the answer...
