Comex’s iOS 4.3 Jailbreak uses a Userland Exploit

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated February 6, 2016

Last week we reported about Comex being the first to jailbreak iOS 4.3 on the iPad 2. Today we find out a bit more information about this iOS 4.3 jailbreak. In a reply to a tweet asking him what kind of exploit Comex had found in iOS 4.3, he said that he uses a userland exploit, meaning the jailbreak might be applied directly from the device, a la JailbreakMe.

Because a userland jailbreak can easily be patched via a software update, and with the rumors of iOS 4.3.1 coming in the next couple weeks, I doubt we will see Comex's jailbreak before then...

What the AT&T and T-Mobile Merger Means for the iPhone

Alex Heath ∙ Updated July 6, 2017

Well, no one saw that coming. Out of nowhere, AT&T has bought T-Mobile and become the largest wireless provider in the U.S.

It was originally thought that Sprint and T-Mobile would merge, but network incompatibilities made that idea look less and less attractive. Instead, AT&T and T-Mobile have shacked up to become the big kid on the block. Combined, AT&T and T-Mobile account for 130 million wireless customers in the United States, blowing by Verizon's 90 million users.

The question on our mind is: What does this all mean for the iPhone? LTE? What if we actually start getting reception in our own homes...

Back to the Future: Apple Reinvents the Phone

Sébastien Page ∙ March 21, 2011

I was browsing the web earlier today when I came across the video of Steve Jobs announcing the first iPhone back in January 2007. I remember that day as if it was yesterday. I remember how I instantly fell in love with the iPhone as it was everything I ever wanted in a phone.

Fast-forward four years later and I can say that the iPhone has changed my life, literally. Not only the iPhone has allowed me to change the way I communicate and stay connected, but the iPhone has also allowed me to quit my job and make a living blogging about this revolutionary device...
