While any details we may have on the iPhone 5 right now are mere speculation, I'm confident it won't look like this! Fed up waiting for Apple's fifth-generation smartphone, TopFruit.com have created their own — made entirely of fruit and vegetables.
This edible iPhone boasts an aubergine bezel, a Music app made from oranges, and appears to run the "BlackBerry" OS. Get it? I know — that was poor...
One of the most frustrating things that I've encountered with the iPhone, is doing backups and restores. Now admittedly, most people are okay with this, they just backup their iPhone with iTunes and restore with whenever necessary.
I like to take the backup and restore process a bit more seriously. For instance, I've actually created a starting point "stock" iTunes backup with all of my favorite apps, settings, mail accounts, etc.
Secondly, I have a separate backup for all of my jailbreak apps, tweaks, and settings. For this, I use PKGBackup.
I've found that the combination of the iTunes backup coupled with PKGBackup makes for a quick, and painless restore back to my favorite settings.
There's one problem with this methodology though; it doesn't backup all of my SMS messages...
AT&T no longer offers its new or existing customer’s unlimited data. This is unfortunate, but not permanent. This method will allow you to have unlimited data for use with any phone on any account on the AT&T Wireless network.
This guide is the culmination of several people’s struggles in getting AT&T to give them back something they deserve. Originally posted back in October and updated a little while after, we’re back to give it to you again! This time with an easier to follow guide!
If you haven't been following the progress of the iPad 2 jailbreak, let me give you a brief history. Within days of the device launching, iDevice specialists like Comex and other members of the Dev and Chronic Dev teams had their iPad 2s hacked.
The actual jailbreak part of the process was never really an issue. It was trying to bundle the exploit into a stable, legal package that would be easy enough for the general public to use...
ExEn is a brand new set of tools that allows developers to port their titles from XNA (Xbox New Architecture) to Microsoft WP7 and iOS. Essentially it provides an easy way for software companies to move their console games to mobile platforms.
With companies like Electronic Arts snatching up proficient iOS developers like Firemint to better compete in the mobile arena, a set of tools like this could really be a game changer.
This way, developers can design games in a familiar setting, and then easily move the game to mobile platforms...
If you go to JailbreakMe.com right now you will be greeted with a bunch of data that appears to be some logs of some sort. I have absolutely no idea what all this mean but I am hoping one of you will figure it out.
With the release of JailbreakMe right around the corner, I wouldn't be surprised if this was another clue of an imminent release...
Though the App Store is one of the best in the business, it certainly could stand a few changes. One of the refinements users have been calling for is the ability to take apps for a test spin.
The current policy calls for users to pay for applications before they get a chance to try them out. This isn't a huge deal with $0.99 applications, but you could potentially pay $20 or $30 for a program that ends up not working out...
After a number of recent squabbles with Samsung, it seems Apple may be looking to distance itself from the company and move production of its 'A6' ARM processor to another chipmaker.
In a report published today, Ars Technica cites "numerous sources in the semiconductor industry" who claim Apple is likely to approach Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to build the next-generation of its mobile processor in 2012 as the company aims to step away from its current partnerships with Samsung...
Following the iPhone 4's first birthday earlier this month, we're now sitting patiently awaiting the release (or at least the announcement) of Apple's iPhone 5. The device is rumored to land this September, and backing up those rumors is some new "intelligence" obtained by one investment banker on a recent trip to Taiwan.
Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty met with individuals in Taiwan last week — home to Apple's supply chain and manufacturing facilities — and issued a note to clients in which she claims the fifth-generation iPhone will enter production in August and will "ramp aggressively" into the fourth calendar quarter...
If you've had enough of the next-generation iPhone rumors, you may want to skip over this post. As before any major Apple product launch, the rumor mill is working over time with everyone trying guess Apple's next move.
While most of the gossip aligns with a September launch, the hardware debate seems to ping pong back and forth. Some folks believe we'll see a major update to the iPhone line (iPhone 5), and some think it'll only incur minor changes (4S)...
Dan Zimmerman's latest entry into the TweakWeek daily challenge was uploaded yesterday. The jailbreak tweak is called iScreenSaver, and it puts a new spin on the old function.
Remember when custom screen savers on your desktop were cool? The effect never really made the transition to smart phones, as 3.5" screens don't typically need saving. But Zimmerman's tweak isn't your typical screen saver...
Is it show-er, or shower? I think I'll stick with shower since that's more fun to say.
Naming discrepancies aside, BatteryShower is an iPhone jailbreak tweak that is basically an extension of a previous tweak we touched on called 'ASB'.
ASB allows you to always show the battery icon on your lock screen, regardless of whether or not you have it connected to a power source.
BatteryShower takes this formula, and remixes it so to speak by also allowing you to never show the battery as well...
